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.
