One Night Stand With That Beggar

Naomi looked at Nelson nervously. She said, “Nelson, you won’t make it!”

Nelson raised his eyes and looked at her with a smile.

“Don’t you know that you shouldn’t say those words to a man?”

Naomi was speechless. At a moment like this, he was still able to joke.

To her dismay, he stumbled walking towards her. He was still weak due to the effects of the drug.

He couldn’t stand stably and he swayed on his feet.

He punched himself in the chest to brace himself. Feeling the pain, he felt a jolt of adrenaline.

Only then did he walk slowly onto the rock.

As soon as he walked up, he heard a shifting sound behind him, coming from the part where the protruding rock was connected to the cliff, and it was the sound of soil tumbling off the cliff.

He couldn’t help but tremble whereas Eudora gasped in consternation at the sight of that.

However, she didn’t dare make a sound. Right this moment, she felt as though her breath was also enough to cause a distraction.

She quickly covered her mouth and looked on anxiously. Moreover, she was thinking of a way to rescue them should Nelson fail his attempt.

Eudora withdrew her gaze from him and turned to look at Naomi, whose face was also filled with perturbation.

She didn’t dare to make any sound either. Staring at Nelson with brooding eyes, she broke out in a cold sweat.

Eudora looked at the rope around Naomi while secretly going through in her mind, how likely would she succeed if she held onto the middle of the rope as it fell.

Meanwhile, Jerry also looked on at Nelson admiringly.

“I can’t believe that he really has the guts.”

Cody sneered, “Well, it’s such a pity that these two lovebirds are going to die soon!”

Before his voice had died away, he heard a loud thud through his hidden earbuds. It sounded like a slam on a table.

Cody instantly waved his hand to Jerry, indicating that they shouldn’t talk anymore to avoid provoking Monique.

Then, he turned his head away and spoke in a hushed tone.

“What can I do for you?”

After a few seconds of silence, Monique spoke coldly.

“Did Nelson choose to save the girl?”

“Yes!” Cody had an acute judgment, and he sensed Monique’s displeasure, therefore he hurriedly added another sentence.

“Actually, that doesn’t mean anything! Maybe it’s just a man’s instinct.”

Monique gave a snort and her exasperation was soothed slightly.

“What you said makes sense. Let’s give them an extra push! Get rid of that rock, do you get it?”

“Don’t worry, everything is ready as you requested.”

As he said that, he was about to hang up the phone while Monique reminded him again.

“Remember, I don’t care about the two women. But that man can’t be hurt too badly!”

“Yes, understood!”

He hung up the phone hastily and clicked his tongue in disapproval.

“The more capable a woman is, the crueler she will be. At the end of the day, my girl, Rosie, is the best! She’s very obedient and handy around the house.”

“Bro, what are you talking about?” Jerry, who was next to him, asked curiously.

“Nothing! I just want to tell you that no matter how marvellous the outside world is, it would not be as good as the women in our village! Only they will wait for us wholeheartedly, and they will not find a way to kill us!”

“That’s for sure! I’ve always known that,” said Jerry, scratching his head.

“It’s good that you know it! I have just got a new order to get rid of the rock. Do you get it?”

Jerry was astonished and said, “Wow, that’s really a cruel move!”

“Now you know why I’m telling you that? All right, hurry up and get to work!”

Jerry nodded and turned to look at where Nelson was.

Even though Nelson was walking slowly, he still managed to cover quite a bit of ground!

Currently, he had squatted down and began to untie the rope. Seeing Jerry suddenly walking towards them, Eudora’s heart missed a beat and she stopped him out of instinct.

“Wait, what are you going to do?”

Jerry turned his head and looked at Eudora. He said, “You b*tch, it’s not up to you to interfere!”

Eudora felt great apprehension over what was going to happen next. She shouted in Nelson’s direction.

“Be careful!”

However, it was too late. Due to the drug’s effect, Nelson couldn’t react quickly enough.

Jerry had already gotten near to him and kicked at the rock behind him.

In an instant, it fell off the cliff and the rope was released. Nelson was hung upside down in mid-air while Naomi was about to fall down.

“Naomi!”

Nelson screamed while reaching for the rope. However, he couldn’t make it in time.

“Naomi!”

He let out a howl of anguish. Luckily, Eudora was there to hold on to the rope.

However, Eudora’s body was frail. After holding onto the rope, it was difficult for her to hold it down. She was thrown forward by the momentum.

Seeing that she was about to fall as well, Naomi couldn’t help but say, “Mom, let go!”

Eudora held onto the rope as hard as she could and shook her head at Naomi. She refused, “No!”

“Mom, I’m not afraid! I’m really not! Let go of it, or you will be dragged down too!”

Eudora ignored Naomi this time. She saw the tree on the edge of the cliff. The moment she was dragged over, she pressed her feet against the tree and planted herself down.

However, her palms and arms were already wounded from scraping against the rope and the ground.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

“I’m fine!” After stabilizing herself, Eudora gave Naomi a meek smile despite the sweat and dust on her face.

“Mommy is here. Don’t be afraid!”

At that moment, Naomi seemed to recall her childhood.

In the past, her mother was always trying her best to protect her like how she did now. After Naomi grew up, she thought she could protect her mother.

But in the end, she found out that it was still the same. Her mother had been protecting her all the time.

A mother’s love was silent, Eudora had never said it out loud.

Naomi’s voice was hoarse as she cried, “Mom, I love you.”

Eudora gave Naomi a faint smile and replied, “Mommy knows.”

She also knew that she wouldn’t be able to hold on for much longer. That was why she was still trying her best to think of a way out. However, there was no one here that she could rely on.

Even the tree in front of her couldn’t be trusted. It looked like it was ready to give.

She had to put all her hopes on the two men.

“How can you go back on your promise to us? Didn’t we agree that you will let her go as long as he is able to untie the rope? What more do you want?”

Jerry laughed and said, “Can’t we just have some fun? It’s entertainment for us to watch you guys struggle!”

Eudora was so irritated that she just closed her eyes. She was afraid that she would exhaust herself, so she didn’t dare to speak more.

Just as she was at her wits’ end, Nelson, who was hanging from the other end, gritted his teeth and spoke to the two men.

“What exactly do you want?”

“Well, you know what to do!”

Upon hearing this, Eudora and Naomi looked at Nelson simultaneously. That sentence sounded very strange to them.
