The hallway filled with whispers of judgment. The onlookers who had been silently observing finally stepped forward, their voices rising with indignation.
"Young man, is your job really worth more than your wife and child?!"
"Jobs can be replaced, but losing your family is forever! How can you live with yourself if something happens to them?"
"That poor woman has stood by you through everything! Don’t you have any sense of gratitude?"
"She’s your wife! Saving her shouldn’t even be a question—what’s wrong with you?"
The accusations came from all sides, sharp and relentless.
But I stood there, unmoved, the faintest hint of a sneer curling my lips.
“This man is also too desperate, no matter what, his wife is inside to give birth to his child, He doesn’t give a damn...”
The chatter around me grew louder and louder.
I pursed my lips and sat on the bench without saying a word.
The whole person was like a stubborn stone.
Seeing that I didn't react, Anthony somewhat broke down and tugged at my pants leg, begging bitterly.
“Eddie, look at it this way.”
“You go in and save Susan, as a thank you, we pass the house and car to your name ......”
Hearing these words, I finally raised my eyes.
Seeing my somewhat moderated expression, Anthony was ecstatic and hurriedly patted his chest and assured.
“Eddie, don't worry, I'll do what I say!”
“As long as you can promise to save Susan, I'll give you the house and car deposit!”
The scene was in an uproar.
Everyone was touched by this piece of love for their son.
I looked at Anthony condescendingly, silently calculating in my heart.
His house, car and savings together were worth a few million dollars.
Buy me this job, but it was not a loss.
Just…
Raising my eyes again, I eased my tone.
“Okay, I can go in and save people, but...”
Seeing that I finally agreed, Anthony's face was a happy color, looking at me with hopeful eyes.
I lengthened my tone and said slowly, “But you have to sign a good contract with me, or what if you don't recognize it?”
Hearing my words, the smile on Anthony's face froze, as if he was somewhat incredulous.
Margareth couldn't hold back any longer and shouted in a very agitated manner.
“Susan's situation is urgent, how can there be so much time waiting to sign the contract? My bitter daughter, how did she marry such a negative man like you!”
