Melanie leaned back against the railings that were made of stone and cement and shook her hands, which were grasping Dorothy’s neck. She exerted some strength and held Dorothy on the edge of the railing. She turned to look at the blank-faced man and slowly smiled. “What do I want? What are my conditions? You should know them. They’re very simple!”
“I want you to kill this weak b*tch with your own hands. After that, I want you to announce to the whole world that you love me, and that you want to marry me, have children with me, and be together with me for the rest of your life!”
“You should know me, Credence!” Melanie smiled, her smile was as sharp as a knife. “If you don’t want to love me, if you don’t want to talk about your feelings with me, then you can f*ck around with other women. I won’t object to that. However, you shouldn’t fall in love with any other woman! What’s worse, you shouldn’t fall for such a weak little b*tch. I am a cold-hearted person. If anyone stops me from pursuing you, then I will find them and kill them, and that includes you!”
“Credence, as long as you say the word, as long as you say that you will love me and spend the rest of your life with me, I will let her go, and she can return to Talco City safely and live a happy life. I can’t just let the two of you take all the benefits, while I don’t have anything in return, right?”
“I will count to three, if you don’t make a decision, I will throw her down. I don’t care if it’s a bottomless abyss or a raging river. Besides, if I have to die, then we will all die together, no one will be able to live through tonight!”
Melanie’s cold yet beautiful eyes were extremely gloomy. She narrowed her eyes and shouted hoarsely, “Credence, the countdown starts now! Three, two…”
It looked like her right hand was simply strangling Dorothy’s throat. But upon closer inspection, Dorothy, who was about to be thrown off the edge of the railing by her. This disgusting and vicious woman was using her other hand to take out a small paper-like object which was smaller than a match box from her pocket. It was colorful, and looked like a little stamp.
Wait a minute…
A mini stamp?!
This was a life-threatening moment, how could Melanie use this little thing to resist Credence? What was the use of such a thin piece of paper?
Suddenly, Dorothy remembered browsing the headlines not too long ago. She noticed a piece of news that was constantly talked about by government officials. It informed ordinary people to be wary of the latest drugs out there. These things would cause people to lose everything they had. The looks of the drugs had changed drastically. It now looked like small packets of sugar, milk tea, and other daily necessities, one had to be extremely wary.
She concluded that Melanie must be holding some drugs. As long as it touched a person’s skin or any part of their body, it would penetrate into their blood and nerves, which was a very horrible experience.
This meant that Melanie was planning to use this against Credence.
This vicious woman was planning on completely destroying him!
Dorothy looked at the man with a deep and calm aura who was still silent. When he was about to rush over to save her, Dorothy gasped. Suddenly, she shouted, “No, Credence, don’t come over!”
Hearing her worried shout, Credence was shocked and stood on the spot. He raised his head and stared at Dorothy, whose delicate neck was shaking like a fallen leaf in the wind. He suddenly felt uneasy and asked, “Honey, what’s wrong?”
Dorothy didn’t answer him, but her eyes suddenly turned red. She fiercely shook her head. “Don’t come over, don’t come over…”
She couldn’t expose the fact that Melanie was holding on to these new drugs. Otherwise, Melanie would be upset, and she would use the drugs on her instead…
That was not the worst part.
If she got addicted to these drugs, then the child in her womb that was almost five months old, would not be able to survive.
Melanie was startled by Dorothy’s anxious shouting, but her heart stung from hearing Credence call Dorothy ‘Honey’.
Humph, at such a desperate situation, he was still calling this weak b*tch his honey. What a loving pair they were!
She suddenly lost control of her emotions and shouted, “Credence, I’ve given you a chance. Since you only want to grow old with this weak b*tch , then don’t blame me for being cruel… Go to hell, we’ll all die together!”
After that, she ruthlessly loosened her grip on Dorothy’s neck, allowing Dorothy to fall straight down from the railing.
Everything happened almost instantaneously, Dorothy felt like she was going to fly. She was in the air, she was really dizzy and wanted to vomit.
Her hands were randomly waving and scratching around, but it was all in vain. The only thing she could grab onto were pieces of dead leaves.
Her mind was filled with confusion and sorrow. She sadly thought to herself, “Am I really going to fall into a bottomless abyss like this? Will I never see Credence and Belle ever again?”
Credence shouted, “Honey!”
Credence suddenly threw himself at her, his long legs were hanging onto the railing. His body was hanging outwards. In that split second, he had managed to grab Dorothy’s thin arms and carefully lifted her up.
As for Melanie, she was kicked back by him. He did not care anymore, he did not have time to kill her and end his troubles any longer.
At this moment, in his heart, nothing was more important than Dorothy’s life.
If he lost her, his life would be meaningless. Living without her is a fate worse than death.
Dorothy felt dizzy, she didn’t know what had happened between Credence and Melanie, but her falling body suddenly stopped midair. A big and powerful hand pulled her right arm upwards.
She looked up in a trance and realized that Credence had caught hold of her just in time.
“Be good, don’t be afraid. Hold on, I’ll pull you up right away!”
Credence’s palm was covered in sweat. He held on to her smooth arm. She could feel the warmth from his body, as well as the chill from his sweat.
Drops of sweat mixed with the blood on his face and dripped onto Dorothy’s face, and she suddenly snapped to her senses. She gritted her teeth, took a deep breath, and grabbed his arm with her left hand. She moved up inch by inch with his support.
But when she thought of the vicious Melanie, who was hiding at the moment, she felt a deep panic in her heart.
“Credence, be careful. Melanie is still around, she…”
Before Dorothy could finish her words, she suddenly heard a low and dull voice of pain coming from his mouth. His waist and abdomen curled up, and his hand, which was pulling her arm, loosened for a split second, he almost flung her away.
She called out “Credence, what’s wrong?”
Dorothy shouted his name in horror and raised her head to look at the dark shadow above her. After that, she saw him turning around and using only one hand and a leg to fight Melanie back, who had successfully attacked him from behind.
When the clouds parted and the moon shone brightly, Dorothy saw there was a dagger in Credence’s back, only the handle of the knife was visible!
