“Credence!”
“Credence…”
Dorothy was so scared that her heart almost jumped out of her throat. She was hanging in mid-air, watching him fight with only one hand and one leg against Melanie. He was even using his right hand to prevent her from falling into the abyss below.
He had to worry about her and Melanie at the same time. He couldn’t focus on fighting with Melanie and was slashed by her several times. Under the weak moonlight, she could see his handsome face, as well as his shirt that was drenched with blood and dust.
There were several times where he was forced to stagger backward by Melanie’s blows until he almost rolled over from the other side of the concrete railing.
But he clenched his teeth and shook his head to get rid of the blood drops and dust on his face. He nailed his legs to the ground as though they were rooted on the spot. His right arm was like an iron wall, as it firmly held on to Dorothy’s slender body.
“Credence, let go. You don’t have to worry about me!”
Seeing Credence’s abdomen being cut up by Melanie’s knife over and over again, Dorothy shook her head. Tears welled up in the corners of her eyes and she kept crying. “Forget about me. Let go! If you continue with this deadlock, you’ll die. You’ll be hacked to death by Melanie!”
In just a short time, his left arm, right arm, abdomen, and chest were all cruelly stabbed by Melanie’s dagger. His bones were visible, and his shirt was stained with blood. He was completely soaked in blood, and the smell of it permeated the air.
Dorothy felt sick, she wanted to vomit and cry.
She knew that her cumbersome body had become a burden to him.
Otherwise, with his strength, he would have already escaped from Melanie’s attacks.
The blood on his arm was constantly gushing out along his muscles, and it dripped down inch by inch to Dorothy’s hands. Then, it fell from his palm to her head, and then to her mouth…
Looking at their blood-stained hands, Dorothy’s face went pale like a sheet of paper. Her heart was trembling, and her whole body was as cold as ice. She choked and said, “Let go! Credence, let go quickly! If this goes on, the two of us will die!”
At that desperate moment, she was willing to let go of her hatred and pain for him to exchange her and her child’s lives for his.
She did not want him to die in such a humiliating way because of her and her child.
She knew just how proud he was, she knew him better than anyone else!
On the other side of the fence, he shouted for Melanie to attack again. He was exhausted, but he still clenched his teeth and held on to Dorothy firmly. He lowered his head in a hurry to look at her sad tears and gasped deeply. “Shh, don’t talk. Remember, if I am still alive, then so must you!”
“Credence, your life is at its end, and you are still thinking about saving that weak b*tch’s life?”
Under the moonlight, Melanie laughed menacingly, “I’ve cut you from head to toe more than seven times now. From the depth of the cuts, as well as how badly you’re bleeding, your strength will give way in no time. Let’s see how long you can hold on to her! Twenty minutes? Ten? Five? Or maybe just one?”
“Now, I won’t kill you, I’ll just stay by your side and stab you from time to time. You aren’t allowed to save that weak woman. Not that you have to hold onto her as you futilely resist my attacks. I, for one, want to see how long you can last!”
Melanie then burst into laughter, her eyes were watering. When she saw Credence suddenly exerting his strength to pull Dorothy up, she quickly rushed over and raised her hand to stab Credence’s abdomen.
Just a while ago, in order to save Dorothy, he had mercilessly kicked her several times. It almost broke her internal organs and caused her to bleed.
There was no need for her to show mercy to him anymore.
Showing mercy to him was the same as being cruel to herself.
When she was kicked to the ground, the drug that was disguised as a tiny stamp fell into the grass, much like a needle in the ocean. She couldn’t find it anywhere.
However, she didn’t expect to pick up the sharp dagger she had dropped.
She gripped the dagger in her hands and leaped forward without hesitation. She soared into the air and charged towards Credence, and she quickly stabbed him three times.
Since she couldn’t get him, then she would let him die. That way, no one would be able to get him!
Melanie raised her hand and stabbed Credence in the abdomen. In Dorothy’s eyes, she was malicious and out to kill.
She ignored the fact that half of her body was still on the other side of the railing. Her eyes trembled and she immediately screamed, “Credence, watch out!”
In a panic, Dorothy hooked her foot on the cement railing and pulled his cold and bleeding wrist back.
Credence was caught off guard and was dragged a step back by her. His back was so straight that it barely touched the railings behind him.
The dagger, which had been stabbed deep into his back, rubbed against the concrete railing and plunged deeper.
“Argh!”
He let out a muffled groan of pain, half of his body was hanging off the railing. He immediately felt a cold wind sweep across his abdomen.
Melanie missed by a millimeter, and the vicious knife only sliced the air.
This made Melanie’s face become extremely gloomy and ugly in an instant. She retrieved the dagger, smiled fiercely, and leaped again. She went to stab him in the throat with deadly force. Her eyes were blood red with hatred. “I see Credence! Even if you become a ghost, you’d still be such a romantic ghost. Okay, I’ll send you and that weak b*tch to the afterlife. I promise you two will be a pair of lovely dead ghosts.”
Seeing that the sharp weapon in her hand was about to pierce Credence’s throat, Melanie began laughing cruelly. In her mind, she had already won.
The man took her merciless blow. After feeling the sharp pain of his neck from being sliced, he raised his left arm, which was as strong as an iron fist, and slammed it on Melanie’s temples.
In the deathly silent night, a cracking sound rang out.
Before Melanie came to her senses, she felt a stabbing pain in her left temple. Soon, her vision blurred and darkened, and her eyes turned red.
“Credence, you want to kill me? Hah! Go to hell. I will send you and this b*tch to hell tonight!”
Melanie cried out in pain. She clenched the dagger in her hand, widened her blood-red eyes with difficulty, and swung them at Credence and Dorothy like a ferocious wolf.
