Chapter 112 A Choice
Amos Granger gritted his teeth as he looked at Eudora George, who was slowly rising. She still refused to look at him.
From the moment he had came in, she didn’t make a single noise even though she was injured all over. This is the kind of woman she was, an extremely stubborn one.
But it was also because she was such a woman, that she had his heart ensnared.NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
However, Thomas Shelby was a lunatic. If he knew that Eudora was the person he truly cared about, he would most probably do something crazier.
Amos tried to calm himself down as he spoke.
“Thomas, what are you talking about? I just hope that the things between us would not involve hurting innocent people.”
“Innocent people?” Thomas spat. “Amos, do you think I’m a f*cking fool? Do you still want to play tricks against me?” After that, he suddenly threw a bright thing at Amos.
Amos stretched out his hand to grab it. It turned out to be a necklace, which he had seen before. Back then, when he took Eudora out of the Meyer Family, she said that it was something her mother left behind.
But under the necklace, there was not only the pendant, but also something else.
It was a ring!
It was the ring he gave her, and it was with her mother’s relic.
Amos’ heart was suddenly struck by something invisible. He raised his head to look at her expression. Even to this moment, she still looked so stubborn.
She didn’t cry or make a fuss. She just looked at him.
However, it was that exact look in her gaze that made Amos feel as if it was slowly burning holes onto his body.
And there was blood flowing out of those holes, inflicting pain inside him.
He took a deep breath and gritted his teeth. “Thomas, get to the point! What do you want?”
“Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!” This time, Thomas’ laughter sounded much happier than before.
“You finally admitted it? This woman is the person you care about the most in your heart! Now, I will give you one last chance. You have to make a choice, whether you want Wendy Liam or Eudora George.”
After that, Thomas raised his hand to stop the track from moving.
Wendy subconsciously looked at Amos, to find that his eyes had always been fixed on Eudora. She felt a chill in her heart and suddenly looked towards Eudora. “Thomas Shelby, I am willing to replace Eudora. Let me go up.”
Thomas looked at Wendy with surprise. “Hey woman, are you not afraid of death?”
Wendy said nothing and turned to Amos again. “Amos Granger, I don’t regret saving you once. Now that I could see you and Miss George get along happily, I will bless the both of you even if I was dead.”
Wendy’s words caused his heart to grow heavier.
Wendy had saved him once before. He couldn’t let her die like this.
Amos closed his eyes, eventually making the final choice, “Wendy Liam!” He had made a decision, after saving Wendy, he would then die together with Eudora.
He would never let Eudora go alone!
There was a sudden throbbing pain in Eudora’s heart. She put on a faint smile. Perhaps, this was for the best…
“Good, Amos, you are a man of justice!” After saying this, Thomas activated the rope again.
Eudora felt that her body was rising, and everything that happened between her and Amos suddenly emerged in her mind, be it their happy, angry, or sad moments.
For countless times, he had held her tightly as if he wanted to one with her forever. She thought it was love, but it only turned out to be lust.
As Eudora rose to the highest point, Wendy was dropped to the lowest point.
She was only one step away from being able to stand on the ground.
But Thomas stopped the rope all of a sudden. He smiled at Eudora and said, “See that platform behind you? There’s a gun on it. It’s my gift for you. Amos had treated you like this, he didn’t choose you twice. Don’t you hate him?”
Eudora was dumbfounded when she saw a gun lying there. She was able to get it as long as she reached her hand out.
“Take the gun!”
Eudora reached out to grab it! It was a very light and small gun, and she was not familiar with it. Thomas told her, “The bullet has been loaded. You just need to pull the trigger and aim towards Amos.”
Eudora did not move. She looked down at the gun, pondering about something.
Thomas’ words continued, “Kill him. Kill him to avenge yourself. As long as you kill him, I’ll let you out!”
Eudora smiled bitterly. “Do you think I’m stupid? If I were to kill him, I’d go to jail too!”
“Even if you don’t kill him, you’ll die either way. Isn’t it the same? Don’t you want to avenge yourself? He gave you up twice for another woman!”
Eudora pursed her lips. She raised her eyes to look at Amos, who was standing below her. He didn’t move. He just stood there, as if he would stand there forever.
Wendy suddenly felt a little uneasy. She shouted at Eudora in a haste.
“You can’t be so heartless. Even if you guys did break up, Amos did so much for you. If it weren’t for him, you would have been tortured to death in the Meyer Family. Your current life was given to you by him, in fact, you still owe him a life!”
“Wendy Liam!” Amos stopped her.
On the other side, Eudora had already raised the pistol.
Thomas suddenly became excited, “Shoot him. Quickly.”
Eudora’s gun was finally pointed towards Amos, and she began to pull the trigger slowly. At the sight of this scene, Amos suddenly smiled.
“Shoot!”
He was ready to die with her anyway. If he was shot by her, she might forgive him when he was in hell.
“No!” Wendy shouted. The next second, she heard a bang, followed by a yelping pain from Thomas.
Wendy was dumbstruck, and she looked over instinctively. It turned out that just before she fired the gun, Eudora suddenly switched the direction of the gun to shoot at Thomas.
However, she never thought that Thomas was wearing a bulletproof vest, and the shrapnel only scratched his arm.
He spat and glared at Eudora. “B*tch, go to hell!”
After that, he suddenly waved his hand, and a dagger appeared out of nowhere. He cut the rope will all his might, and Wendy immediately fell to the ground. Meanwhile, Eudora, who was five meters off the ground, began to fall rapidly.
In the blink of an eye, Amos rushed over to grab the rope that was on the ground.
But it was going too fast. Amos’ palm was soon filled with blood caused by the friction from the rope, and he was being dragged forward.
“Amos!” Wendy shouted out loud.
At the sight of this scene, Thomas seemed to be overjoyed. He came over from the control panel, and slowly walked towards Amos. He stepped on Amos’s hand hard.
“Why aren’t you fighting back! Aren’t you very powerful?”
Amos ignored him. His eyes were fixed towards the hanging Eudora, and she was also looking at him in the air.
When their eyes met, Eudora suddenly shouted, “Just let go!”
“No!” Amos shouted.
Thomas fished out the dagger from his arms again, and he stabbed it into Amos’ shoulder from the back. Blood quickly oozed out, as it dyed Amos’ white shirt red.
Wendy wanted to stop him, but she was pushed away by Thomas. She fell to the ground and fainted.
