Chapter 51 The Trolley Problem (2/2)
If he wanted to convince Elizabeth more, then he has to say more words to her
But Alex knew that his next words h to
”Sorry Alina…” Alex thought to himself with sorrow as he tried not to look at Alina's direction ”This is the only way that we can survive, so I have no choice but to do this…”
”So you will not help your sister then?” Alex replied to Elizabeth as the look in his eyes changed ”That is what you are saying, right?”
”Oh, and now you are telling me that I will become a useless prick if I do not sacrifice myself?” Elizabeth sounded extremely offended, and she somehow had a point ”I am not a selfless person who can just sacrifice herself whenever she wanted to”

”Yes, you are not a selfless person” Alex said as he realized that even with his guilt, he was starting to get angry and irritated with Elizabeth ”You are just a very selfish person!”
”!!!” Alex ignored Elizabeth's stunned silence as he started to pour out his rant towards her actions
”You decisively abandoned your sister and your devoted husband, just to fuse with the World Diagram! Do you even know that what you just did is sheer abandon, since these words were just too personal, but if he need to convince Elizabeth, he had to hit her where it hurts
”And when you failed the fusion, Alina and Ricardo has to take care of you, even though their life was placed in grave danger after that You made them suffer, you made them miserable, you… effectively destroyed their futures!”
Alex tried toas possible, but deep inside, he was so angry with himself as he just wanted to knock himself unconscious
He knew that even if his words were right, the way he used it against Elizabeth rong and unjust
But what can Alex do? It's either this, or all of theether
If Alex has to bear the sin of letting Elizabeth die, then he will solemnly bear it on his shoulders, if it meant that Alina will survive
”If you really want to do what is right, then you should knohat to do next” Alex said as blood dripped frohtly

”Elizabeth, you are about to die anyway, so can you just at least try to make your last moments useful?” Alex spat these lines calmly as he tried to not show the distress in his features
”…”
”Ugh, I really hate doing this!” Alex thought to himself as he knew that this moment will haunt him for the rest of his life
But if that will be the consequence of his sin, then Alex will gladly accept it
Elizabeth went silent for another 20 seconds, which just increased Alex's tension and panic But he kept up his confident façade as he waited for her answer
”Youto be a villain, but deep down, you do not want to this, right?” Elizabeth replied, but this tined
Alex averted his gaze away as he tried not to show the tears starting to pour fro about me? It's all about you!”
”Yes, it's all about me…” Elizabeth said as she seemed to be amused by what Alex said ”The person who abandoned her fath I aht?”
”No, I am the bad person here!” Alex said as he could not stop hiuilty so that you will have the motivation to sacrifice yourself… What I just did was plain wrong…”
”Yes, you are a bad person, just like me” Elizabeth replied, with a tone that Alex could not really identify ”However, you are a bad person that can stay alive and take care of my sister As for me, I am a bad person that is about to die”

After hearing these words, Alex let out a sigh of relief as he knehat Elizabeth's decision was
”It was nice… ive me from the words that I just said”
”Sorry, but I will not forgive you” Elizabeth quickly replied with an angry snort ”After all, you just forced oodwill can change that”
””
”But I know that you are sincere about ood” Elizabeth suddenly said as Lord Ergo stopped convulsing ”Take care of my sister, ok? And as for Ricardo, tell him that I am sorry for all that I did to him”
Alex only nodded his head nuo, as slowly standing up right now
”Oh, and you can also tell Ricardo that I know that he is gay, and that he is already free to find a boyfriend after this” Elizabeth slyly said as her voice started to fade away ”Just tell him to keep it down a notch, ok?”
”Ok” Alex said, not bothering to be shocked by what Alina just said He washis emotions, as he tried to not show the distress on his face
”Wow, I thought that you are a goody two-shoes” Asteria as she ed to overhear the mental conversation between Alex and Elizabeth ”I never realized that you can actually do so like this…”
Alex had no reply to that, as he knew that Asteria was right
