    Catelyn looked at Cedrick. He had a stern face and showed no sign of backing down.


    She took a deep breath and said to Edwin, "I''m ready."


    Catelyn didn''t know what else she could do except take this solution. She couldn''t let Cedrick kill her dad. Maybe Cedrick was right: Ezekiel


    had secrets and they weren''t rted by blood, but she couldn''t let Cedrick force Ezekiel to death.


    Edwin turned to Cedrick again, but Cedrick ignored him. He looked straight at Ezekiel, which showed that Cedrick was willing to ept the


    bet.


    With Joanne''s help, Ezekiel managed to stand up.


    He had a touch of fear in his eyes, but he had no choice. Without Catelyn and Edwin, he would surely die here today. He said to Catelyn in a

    choked voice, "Catelyn, don''t take the risk. These are none of your business..."


    "I''ll take the first shot!" Catelyn didn''t want to give Cedrick any time to hesitate. She picked up the pistol and pointed it at her temple.


    Cedrick instantly clenched his fists and stared at her without blinking.


    It was silent in the hall.


    ''What the hell is she doing? What''s the matter with Edwin? How could he let Catelyn turn the gun on


    herself? How could he let Catelyn risk her life?'' Cedrick was worried inside. His lips tightened into a


    straight line. His heart was pounding violently...


    Snap-


    Catelyn pulled the trigger. Luckily, there was no bullet. She dropped her hand with a shudder and


    breathed a sigh of relief.


    Joanne let out a low whimper. She was terrified. She tugged on Edwin''s sleeve and pleaded, "It''s too


    scary. They''ll get themselves killed! Stop it! Make them stop. We''ll figure out another way..."


    "It''s their choice." Edwin responded. His hands clenched tightly.


    Cedrick pushed the pistol in front of Ezekiel, and his eyes glowed with a wicked glimmer. "It''s your


    turn."


    Ezekiel looked up, his face swollen. He picked up the pistol and held it against his temple.


    Catelyn held her breath.


    Snap--


    Another empty bullet...


    Catelyn was relieved, but immediately after that, she tensed up again.


    There were four more shots to go. Which turn the bullet would be in?


    She grabbed the pistol and looked into Cedrick''s eyes, her eyes filled with guilt. ''He must be struggling


    inside just like I am.


    Tm sorry, Cedrick. Please forgive me for putting you in such a difficult position...''


    ''We can invetigate the identter. What if he just pushed Aunt Janice by mistake? If he dies here today, there’s no way to take his life


    back.''


    Ezekiel was not dead and Cedrick''s hope was dashed. He red fiercely at Catelyn''s hand holding the gun.


    ''How dare she take another shot?''


    "Catelyn." Cedrick said in a somber voice, holding her hand that was gripping the pistol. "You''ve already missed two shots. Do you think


    you''ll always be lucky? This man is a murderer. Is he worth risking your life for?"


    Tears slid down Catelyn''s cheeks. She knew she was being cruel. "If it were you, I would risk my life for you too. Step back. It will take four


    shots at most. And then you can avenge Aunt Janice."


    "Hehe..." Cedrick gave a bitter smile.


    He slowly let go of Catelyn''s hand. Blue veins bulged at his temples. He spat, "Great! I didn''t even know the woman I loved had so many


    guts..."


    Catelyn dared not look at the disappointed expression on Cedrick''s face.


    She pulled the trigger again...
