Chapter 35 Chapter 23 Please Spare Him(2)
Her face was colorless, and her voice was heartbreaking, like the howling wind from a lonely cliffHer expression was determined and desperate.
"You must push me firstOnce you have my blood on your hands, you will have committed the crime... Judson, you are the sole murderer of this night."
Judson pushed the closet to the side violently.
The heavy closet fell to the ground and made a cracking sound.
He then stepped forward and grabbed Rose's neck, pushing her head outside the window.
"You think only you have the gut to die?" His voice reached her ear with the wind from outside the window. "You think only the Edwards family dare to die?
"You think I will let you die with him? You don't believe I will jump with you?"
Rose coughed from his grip.
Blood rushed to her headHer feet were off the ground, and she felt her world was spinning.
She felt Judson pressed himself against her.
Then he fell into a twisted world with her.
His breath was hot, mixed with the night breeze, hovering above her ear.
Warm and sticky liquid fell onto her face.
"Rose, even if you die, you can only die with me!"

Rose didn't know how she got to the room from the window, nor did she know how Judson released her.
When she came back to her senses, she found herself sitting on the floor in her room, coughing and panting.
There was a large hole under the closet lying horizontally.
There were blood spots on the ground and walls.
There were two groups of people at loggerheads
They were threatening each other with harsh words.
Darrin was in one of the groups, his fists stained with blood.
Judson was in the other groupHe was being held under his arms, and his face was ashenThere was blood on his mouth corner and clothes.
Isidro was squatting beside Rose, yelling something.
Rose tried to focus and heard Isidro beg, "MsEdwards, please go backMrRoach hasn't slept, eaten, or drunk water since last nightPlease stop torturing him..."
Rose continued to cough and laugh.
Judson hurt her with violence and almost pushed the innocent Darrin out of the window.
But Isidro begged Rose to stop torturing Judson and spare his life...
"Please, MsEdwardsSince you started causing trouble last week, he hasn't rested wellHe asked me to buy the dresses you would likeHe also told me to find the best doctor to cure your neck..."
Isidro's eyes turned red from his own words, looking more like a mother than Tameka.
"MsEdwards, please say you are sorry to Mr
Roach, and he will let this goWhen did he not forgive you?"
Isidro knew Rose did more hateful things to anger Judson, but Judson would let it slide if she was remorseful.
Rose pretended she didn't hear anything and slowly got up from the ground.
Then she walked to Darrin, shaking.
She noticed his severely wounded hand from breaking the closet doorShe bit her lips and restrained herself from coughing. "Darrin, does your hand hurt?"
