I was six months pregnant and was prone to body aches. Being hung on a tree made me very uncomfortable.
For the sake of my child, I humbly asked Bruce for help with a choked voice.
"Bruce, I'm pregnant. If I fall, I will have a miscarriage.
"This kidnapping was planned by Carol. If you choose me, she will be fine. Please save the baby, okay?"
On the way here in the car, I heard the conversation between Carol and the kidnappers and learned that Carol was the mastermind behind the kidnapping.
Hearing my words, Bruce looked at me with contempt.
"Flora, I didn't expect you to be so mean. To save your life, you actually threw dirty water on Carol.
"Even if the child is gone, we can have another one. Carol saved my life, so I must save her. I choose to save Carol."
My eyes widened in shock. I thought that even if he didn't want to save me, he would save the baby. After all, it was his child.
But I didn't expect that he would be so cruel and would let us die.
Bruce made his choice, and the kidnappers cut the rope on my side.
As I fell off a high cliff, my internal organs were ruptured, my hands and feet were broken, and there was a pool of blood under me.
