My Second Husband novel Chapter 54

After saying that, the woman held the two children in her arms and walked to the edge of the rooftop.

Eudora George's legs went weak when she thought of the height of this building. It was more than ten floors!

The two children were still young. They looked as if they would fall from the building when the strong wind blew on them.

Eudora's heart quivered. She said, "Sister, please don't act rashly. The children are innocent!"

The woman had gone crazy. She didn't care about whether the children were innocent or not. She just stood there with two children in her arms and said, "People like you don’t understand my situation! I must bring my children along and leave this world together with me because they're innocent. They're still so young, without their father, they’ll suffer in the future. I don’t want them to be hopeless like me!"

The woman's words hit hard on everyone’ s conscience.

"No!" Eudora was anxious. "I understand your feelings! But, it’s not easy for the children to come into this world. You have no right to end their life."

Christopher Gellert, who was standing behind Eudora, was extremely nervous too. He nodded his head and said, "Yes, she’s right. It's not the end of the road yet. Also, we didn’t say that we would abandon you."

"How are you going to compensate me? Don't you try to fool me. I've already asked around and discovered that the manufacturer who had run away is responsible for this. Your company only bears a small responsibility in this incident. Losing a life on a construction site might mean nothing to you. But, for people like us, it is the end of the world!"

Christopher frowned and said, "We are also as vulnerable as you are when things like this happen. I believe we can come up with a solution as long as we are still alive..."

"Vulnerable? Are you vulnerable?"

What Christopher had said seemed to trigger her. She suddenly went berserk.

Eudora wanted to approach her to take the two children away. Unfortunately, the woman realised what Eudora was going to do. She grabbed Eudora’s arm and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Eudora was at the edge of the rooftop. She shivered with fear but tried to calm herself down.

"Please hand over the children to me," Eudora said.

"No way!" the woman screamed and grabbed Eudora by the neck. She continued, 'TII bring you along with me since you’ re part of the company. This could compensate for my husband’s life!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she summoned all her strength and pushed Eudora down.

Christopher attempted to rush over but another person dashed over at lightning speed and grabbed Eudora’s arm seconds before she fell.

Eudora thought that she was really going to die. However, when she looked up, she saw Amos appeared out of nowhere.

"Amos!"

"Don’t talk. Hold on tight to my hands," Amos said.

The woman was scared when she saw someone was really going to fall off the building. The policemen seized this opportunity to pull the woman and the two children back to safety.

The other policemen also quickly helped Amos to pull Eudora up. As soon as she reached the ground on the rooftop, she threw herself into Amos’ arms.

This had really scared the living daylights out of her!

Amos let her hug him for a while. Then, he said to Christopher, "I'll take her back!"

Christopher felt very guilty. He didn't manage to protect his own staff. He nodded and said, "Sure, have a good rest for a few days."

Before Eudora left, she saw the woman wailing while holding her two children.

Eudora was really not in a good mood when she went back. She was still traumatised by the incident.

Amos didn’t take her back to Granger Mansion. He sent her back to Clearwater Bay instead.

Amos carried Eudora when they got out of the car but Eudora was not responsive.

She only came back to her senses when Amos carried her into the bathroom. She asked, "What are you doing?"
