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.
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?"
