Emily didn't want Henry to die.
If she called the police, all of Henry's revenge would fail. She could not imagine how devastated he was going to be. But if she not, Manuel would be unable to hold sooner or later. And both Susan and Henry would fall down.
"Call the police!" Manuel was losing his strength. He knew well that there was a limit for him.
He was not able to pull both of them up. Even if he did so, Henry would resist it. And if Henry resisted, the possibility of their survival would be even lower.
Emily clenched her lips, tears falling down from her face. Broken-hearted and hesitant, finally she made up her mind to call the police. There was nothing more important than Henry's life.
Henry knew she was calling the police. He was down there, agitated, shaking Susan's body wildly.
Manuel's hand slipped. He almost let go because of Henry's resistance.
Susan was also frightened. Luckily, the next second, Manuel's hand grabbed her hand again.
There was sweat on their hands. In this way, it was easy to slip from Manuel's hand.
Susan was still afraid and she was so scared that she could not utter a word at that moment.
Manuel dared not to say a word too, for fear of losing his strength again. He tried his best to hold her.
The wind from the roof was blowing through them.
A few minutes later, Emily called the police, and no one knew how long they would be there.
Susan suddenly felt a few drops of warm liquid falling on her face and arms.
She cast a low glance.
It was blood.
She looked up, seeing the blood slipping down from Manuel's arm.
"Manuel," Susan called him.
Manuel clenched his lips. The wound bandaged last night was torn open again by force.
"Manuel, what's happening, what's the matter with you!" Susan asked him anxiously.
Manuel didn't answer it.
The next second, Susan's body suddenly fell down a little with a crash. Then she saw that the guardrail had begun to bend, for it couldn't bear the weight of three people.
This kind of old house was supposed to be demolished, and the facilities had severely deteriorated.
In this way, there would be three of them to be dead.
"Let go, Manuel!" Susan shouted out loud.
Manuel could feel that the force of the guardrail was not enough for holding them. He didn't let go, instead, he said to Emily, "When the police will arrive?"
Emily hurriedly took out her phone to dial.
But the railing could not last one minute more. The police could not get here so fast.
It was not worth it.
She could feel that Manuel was losing his strength. Maybe she was going to leave this world the next second.
However, then, she suddenly heard the voice of Henry, "Farewell, Susan."
That meant never seeing him again.
Suddenly, Henry relaxed his grip on her ankle.
At the same time, Manuel's other hand quickly grabbed Susan's hand which was about to slip away and caught her again. Manuel clenched his teeth and tried his best to pull Susan back.
The guardrail was teetering. Before Susan was pulled back by Manuel, there was a crash sounding below them.
Her eyes were full of tears. She knew it was Henry, who fell down to the ground.
Henry let her go in the end.
She hated him, for letting her go through all those things, which she never thought about. However, when it came to the moment of his death, her heart was still in extreme agony.
Henry was also a victim.
Susan's tears blurred her sight. She looked at Manuel, who fought for her life as fiercely as he would. Finally, he managed to pull her back from the roof.
They hardly had time to catch their breath when they saw a woman jump down beside them.
