‘As long as you promise to come back to me, I will forgive you, okay?’
‘Okay? Is that okay?’
‘Please…’
No one had ever seen such a humble side of Eldest Young Master Williams. No one would want to believe that he would whimper to beg someone.
He had pleaded with his eyes, words, and gestures!
‘Please, say that you still love me. Please say that you are still my woman.’
‘Please…’
Elena’s heart had never been as flustered or as sour as she had felt then. She was not afraid of how he would treat her, nor was she terrified for Henry. Instead, she worried about Michael. For some reason, she had a feeling that he would be in some kind of trouble.
She panicked. She was so anxious that she searched for Henry’s eyes. Her resolve had wavered, and she was afraid that she would regret her decision. However, when she looked up, she did not see Henry. Instead, she saw Henry, who stood not far from them.
Henry looked at them with a blank expression on his face. He did not say anything thus far, but she felt cold when she laid eyes on him. Since things had already reached that point, why would she turn back then?
She struggled with all her might, but she could not break free from Michael’s grip. Even though he did not exert force on her, he did not let go of her.
However, Elena’s struggles were like stabs to his heart! She was not willing to be with him anymore, was she? She did not want to go back to him. Even if he whispered to her and begged her, she would still not agree to be with him.
“Eldest Young Master Williams, thank you for your kindness, but I… The person I love is him.”
Elena flung her hand hard, and she finally managed to shake off his grip on her. She immediately returned to Henry and used her sleeves to wipe the blood from his lips.
“How are you? Are you badly injured? Let’s get you to the hospital and let the doctor check on you.”
Whether it was a genuine concern or an act, she was deeply concerned about Henry’s injury. Eldest Young Master Williams had punched him twice; those were not an act. No one knew the state of Henry’s injuries. He might have internal injuries since he had vomited blood after the two blows.
“I’m fine.” Henry’s voice was very hoarse, but he could still smile for her.
“Don’t worry, I’m okay.”
“But, you vomited blood!” How could that be okay?
“I’m really okay.” Henry shook his head. It was only some blood; it was nothing to him.
He might have suffered an internal injury, but it would not kill him.
He looked down at Elena as he held her hand. It was as if he wanted to give her more courage. However, he was unsure if it was the right thing to do. His big brother’s face was so pale that he did not even look human. Henry was afraid that something might happen to Michael.
Michael’s indifferent face grew colder, and he stood upright. He stared at the two individuals in front of him with his ruthless gaze and pursed his lips. He could even taste blood.
He chuckled. Coupled with the blank expression on his face, it sounded like a dead person who had lost all traces of life. He might still be breathing, but he was like a walking corpse.
He marched toward Henry. Elena panicked for a moment and immediately turned around to face him. She protected Henry from behind her.
“No more hurting him! Michael, if you… If you…”
Nevertheless, he continued to take slow steps toward them. Elena panicked as then grabbed something in her hand and slammed it hard on the table.
“Stop! Don’t come over!” She had a sharp shard of glass in her hand, and she aimed it at Michael.
“You want to go against me?” He wanted to laugh at the ridiculousness of the situation.
She was a woman who lacked the strength to hold a chicken, yet she held a broken glass bottle against him. Under the light, the glass glowed with a bleak blue luster. The coldness was so icy and bone-chilling that the blood within him could freeze in an instant.
“Don’t come over here!” He continued his march toward Elena. The woman was so scared that she nearly threw away the broken bottle in her hand.
Michael grabbed her hand in a flash.
He covered her hand in his, and he tightened his grip. Then he pointed the shard of glass against his chest.
“You—”
“Prove it!”
Michael stared at her with eyes like the cold night sky. His voice was as cold as a frozen knife that pierced straight into her heart.
“If you stab it in me, I’ll let you go! DO IT!”
“No…” Elena did not expect that he would be so crazy!
The glass bottle shards were very sharp, and when he pressed them firmly on his chest, blood oozed from his clothes.
He would not go easy on anyone, not even with himself! If he plunged it in, it would be embedded deep in his chest.
Elena wanted to let go of the glass, but Michael had wrapped his hand around hers tightly. She could not let go as he kept her hand firmly on his chest!
“He’s the person you love, right? If you can prove it, I’ll believe you! Stab this into mt, and I promise to let you walk out of this island with him. I won’t ever bother you again!”
He smiled coldly at her. It was a beautiful smile that could make the world lose its color, but it was also a smile so cold that it could turn a soul into charcoal!
Elena’s tears flowed down her cheeks, and her body trembled. “Don’t force me, don’t force me! I just want to be with him, don’t force me!”
She could not do it! Why must he force her to do it?!
“Really? Since you want to be with him that much, then stab me hard!”
Every comrade who participated in specialized training would have a knife in their boots—Michael was no exception.
Was she afraid of the glass bottle? Then she should use a knife instead! Elena did not know when she had released the glass shard from her grip. When she snapped back to her senses, she had a sharp knife in her hand.
Just as before, Michael held her hand while she held the handle.
The sharp edge of the knife was pointed at his chest, right above his heart.
The tip of the knife had penetrated his skin and blood oozed out freely. Even though it was not a deep wound and there was not much blood, it was still a cause for panic!
“Eldest Brother…” The situation had blown out of Henry’s expectations.
He had wanted Elena to leave his eldest brother, but he did not want him to harm himself!
Henry also did not expect his big brother would lose his mind so severely!
Michael did not believe that Elena was in love with Henry. He needed proof, but the way he wanted her to prove it to him was too ruthless!
“PUSH IT IN! Then you can be with him!”
Michael ignored everyone else besides the two of them. He only cared about one person in that room—that crying girl. Did she cry because she was scared or because she was in distress? It was the only way for her to prove it. If she really had no feelings for him, why would she care if he lived or died?
“No, I don’t…” Elena wanted to throw the knife away, but he maintained a tight grip on her hand.
The tip of the knife had penetrated into his skin, and as long as he applied pressure, the wound on his chest would continue to deepen. There was a lot of blood, but he did not feel any pain at all. The knife went in a little bit, and he did not even flinch!
“Since you are not willing to do that, come back to me, and we can still live a good life.”
Michael smiled before he tightened his grip on her hand. “Come on, make your final decision. Either stick it in or come back to me.”
