She Didn't Want To Die

"No..." Elizabeth kept shaking her head, and her face was as terribly ashy. Theodore didn't care whether she was willing or not. He moved the dagger closer to her and asked, "How about cutting your neck?" "Theodore... calm down." Elizabeth felt that she couldn't even speak fluently, but she couldn't let go of any chance to survive, so she stuttered, "Don't do this. You... are still young, and you have your parents. If you... die, what will they do?" "They..." Theodore's eyes dimmed, and his eyes and face were full of sorrow. He looked helpless and pitiful. Seeing this, Elizabeth felt that she had seen her hope, and she felt a little happy in heart. "Theodore, can you bear to die like this? What about uncle and aunt? Have you thought about their feelings? Don't be impulsive and calm down. Let's think of a way slowly, okay?" Theodore didn't answer her and just shook his head lightly. "You're still young. Don't be so excited. Can you chill out?" Theodore still didn't say anything. He stared at Elizabeth, but he also didn't seem to be looking at her. His eyes were a little distracted. Elizabeth's heart was jumping faster and faster, but she could not show any fear. She had to smile slightly and try to sober up Theodore who was in a crazy state. At the same time, she was stalling for time, hoping that someone could come here in the next second. "Theodore..." As soon as she called his name, Theodore's phone suddenly rang abruptly in this quiet place. Elizabeth endured the pain of her hair being grabbed by Theodore, but she felt a little relieved in heart. No matter who was calling Theodore, she thanked that person very much. She swallowed lightly and then said with an awkward smile, "Theodore, your phone... is ringing." Theodore did not intend to answer the phone and maintained his posture. Elizabeth's eyelashes trembled slightly. She was afraid that he would really not answer it, so she said again, "You'd better... answer it. Maybe... it is a phone call... from aunt or uncle." Theodore didn't speak. "If they can't find you, they will be anxious." Elizabeth clenched her fists tightly, "They... are not in good health now. Even if you want to do something, you should answer the phone call first. What do you... think?" At this time, Theodore seemed to come to senses. He glanced at Elizabeth blandly and then loosened his hand that had been grabbing her hair and took out the phone. After he let go of Elizabeth, Elizabeth immediately felt much better. She let out a long sigh of relief, but she didn't dare to rest assured completely and kept staring at Theodore. Theodore looked at the phone that was still ringing. He frowned and the expression in his eyes was extremely complicated. After a few seconds, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Then he answered the phone and put it in his ear, "Hello? Mom..." He still held the dagger with the other hand. Before he answered the phone, he put the dagger in front of Elizabeth's neck so as to prevent her from taking the opportunity to escape. ...... While Theodore was answering the phone, he just said "yes" and "okay" simply. Elizabeth couldn't hear what his mother had said on the phone. She was in deep anxiety every second, and she was afraid that Theodore would be stimulated when he answered the phone and then suddenly killed her with the dagger. She waited for Theodore to hung up the phone nervously. Looking at Theodore's dejected face, she was extremely high-strung. What would Theodore do... next? It was absolutely impossible for her to fight against him. She could only wait quietly like a lamb to be slaughtered. This kind of tension and worry made her panic and scared. She wanted to scream, but she could only bite her lip tightly. "Elizabeth..." Theodore looked down at the phone, feeling that his palm was burning. However, his voice was so low that Elizabeth almost couldn't hear him. Elizabeth's whole body shook, and her eyelashes trembled. Her heart started to beat more quickly because Theodore's tone was really unconcerned as if he was indifferent to everything and was really ready to die.  "Theodore..." She wanted to shake her head subconsciously, but she was afraid of touching the dagger. She was so panicked that tears came out of her eyes. She cried, "Theodore, don't... do this, okay? Calm down..." She... was going to die, right? What should she do? She didn't want to die. She still had lots of things to do. James hadn't forgiven her and she hadn't given birth to a child for him. She wanted to live a good life with him. She really didn't want to die. Theodore smiled gently and said, "What are you crying for?" She was about to die! "Don't cry." Theodore sighed, "I didn't expect that things would become like this. If I had never met you, nothing would happen between us and that would be so good. Therefore..." He paused for a moment, suddenly took back the dagger in his hand, and then threw it on the ground. Elizabeth suddenly opened her eyes wide and was a little stunned, "Theodore..." In a daze, she was overjoyed. Was he going to... let her go? She moved her feet and wondered if she should take advantage of this chance to run away. But before she could move her feet, Theodore knelt down in front of her and said, "Elizabeth, please help me." "You..." Elizabeth's eyes widened, and she was at a loss because of Theodore's words. "You're right. I still have my parents, so I can't be so rash. I was too impulsive just now. My company has gone bankrupt, and my parents were sent to the hospital all of a sudden. Such a blow made me lose my consciousness. That's why I was so silly just now." "I don't care whether you've done that or not, and I don't care what the reason is. James ruined my company. Can you speak for me in front of him? Can you help me this time for the sake of our former relationship?" "Chao Company has collapsed. If James changes his mind now, I still have a way of dealing with this situation. I beg you, okay? Otherwise, how should I explain to my parents? I promised my mother that no matter what, I would beg James today. I was overwhelmed by anger just now. Can you forgive me for what I did?" As he spoke, he suddenly burst into tears. He was sad, helpless, and also very expectant.   Elizabeth had never seen Theodore cry before. Seeing his awkward and poor look, she felt sorry for him. Just now, she was angry and scared, but when she looked at him at this time... she could understand his mood. Maybe it was because she had also lost everything overnight in the past. She pursed her lips, and her body was shivering slightly because she was so fearful just now. After a while, she answered him in a trembling voice.
