Chapter 748 Off The Roof

Chapter 748 Off the Roof

Before Susan said anything, Manuel's voice rang out.

"I'm not gonna do it." Said he.

Henry smiled, ironically.

Susan bit her lip and swallowed the words she was about to say. Manuel's answer should have been accepted. She should even be glad that Manuel wouldn't go so far. Otherwise, even if she did survive, it would be worse than death. At least, she'd die with less burden.

"Susan, did you hear it?" Henry said, "He's not gonna die for you."

"So what? I like him, but I don't like you!"

Henry was visibly irritated by what she said.

"It doesn't matter if Manuel doesn't love me. Even if he gives me up, I still like him! Henry, don't you think you're a loser..."

Suddenly, Susan screamed again. The dagger in his hand was dug into her thigh once more. The pain blurred her eyes. Perhaps, she'd pass out in pain in one second.

She tried to hold on. If she fainted, she could never make a last stand.

Gritting her teeth, Susan tried to endure the pain, with her eyes fixed on Manuel, who always put on an indifferent face.

All right. At least he won't be so upset about her death.

After all, he didn't love her at all, so he wouldn't be so reluctant.

"Susan, there's no good in provoking me, you know," Henry warned her, darkly.

At this moment, there was nothing she could do to change Henry's mind. Whatever he was going to do. She was not able to fight back, even if he wanted to kill her. The only thing she could do now was to keep more people alive.

She tried to calm herself, pushing against the pain, and said to Manuel, "Manuel, please take care of my dad."

Manuel frowned, knowing that Susan had made up her mind. Thus, he began to panic a little inside, while he could not show a hint of nerves in case he failed to make Henry let his guard down. "Okay, I will." Manuel agreed to her.

Although Susan felt disappointed upon hearing Manuel's answer, she believed it was the best way to cut losses. Or else, her father will be dead too.

"I'm sorry." Susan apologized to Manuel.

She felt genuinely remorseful for what she had done to hurt him and for suspecting the worst of him. She even blamed him for breaking up her marriage with Henry for a very long time. Never had she realized that Manuel was just trying to save her in his way. She was the one who had never appreciated it, while it was too late to regret it. The only thing she could do now was to make her death as easy and peaceful as possible.

Manuel looked at Susan, silently.

Her apology to him was so useless at the moment, which could not erase anything anyway. There was no need to wait for the police to save her, Susan thought. Although she had a lot of things to do to make up for the loss, there was no more time left for her.

Thinking of it, Susan squinted to look down at the building and the next second she grabbed Henry and pushed him to jump off the roof with all her strength.

Henry felt her determination. She wanted to die with him. But he could not die now since Edward, his sworn enemy, had not died yet. He could not die before having revenge. "Susan, do you want to die?"

"I want to die with you! Henry, didn't you say my father killed your family? The daughter pays her father's debt, fair enough, right?"

"Susan, calm down!"

"Are you scared to death by now?" Susan satirized him fearlessly.

"I'm not gonna die until your father dies."

"I'm sorry to let you down but, I won't let my father die! If you want death, it is me who will die with you."

At that moment, Susan, who was always delicate, broke out of surprising strength.

Henry was even a little overwhelmed.

The dagger, which he held tightly, drove hard into her thigh, again. But the pain of blood seemed not to affect Susan. Nothing could change her mind now. So Henry dropped the dagger and tried to stop her with both his hands.

Susan had been utterly out of control. She used the last strength of her body to push Henry to the guardrail. Then both of them tumbled over the guardrail.

"Ah!" Emily's face turned pale with shock when seeing this. She watched in horror as the two of them jumped off the roof. Also, in that second, she saw someone running fast towards the guardrail, at incredible speed.

Emily dared not look at what was happening over there. She didn't dare to confirm whether Henry had jumped down with Susan. Nor was she willing to hear the loud sound.

When people jumped from high places and fell to the ground, they made a loud sound.

Emily's heart was pounding away in her chest in terror.

The clock was ticking in the silence.

One, two, three...

There was no sound coming from below.

Emily rushed over, only to see that Manuel was grabbing Susan's hand, while Henry grabbed Susan by one of her legs.

"Call the police!" Manuel said with difficulty while clasping Susan's wrist.

"Don't call the police!" Henry yelled out loud, "Emily, don't let me hate you!"

"Call the police!" Manuel urged. He leaned over the guardrail, with one hand holding the railing to support himself, and another hand holding Susan.

Susan didn't expect Manuel to grab her hand in time because there was a long distance between them.

At this moment, she still wanted to be alive while hanging in the air. It was the survival instinct. She, in return, grabbed Manuel's hand too.

"Call the police!" Manuel sensed Susan's response from their hands, turning his head to Emily, who was glued to the spot in shock. Emily's hands were shaking as she held the phone.
