Chapter 1537: Chapter 1537: Why Can’t They Survive


A mother can always do the unexpected for her child.


The dagger was kicked away, yet she clung tightly to the man’s leg, refusing to let go, no matter how much he kicked!


The middle-aged man shook his leg twice, failing to shake her off. In furious frustration, he instinctively stabbed her arm!


Blood flowed profusely.


She still didn’t let go, crying out, "I caught the murderer! I caught the murderer! Save my child!!!"


The middle-aged man raised his arm to stab again, and the woman’s husband broke down, eyes red, shouting, "Stop! I’m the murderer! I’ll confess, okay?! Take everything out on me!!!"


The scene was chaotic, with swarms of man-eating ants spreading through the sand, getting closer and closer to the swaddling clothes.


Cherry pulled hard at her left hand, her wrist embossed with red marks. The metal chain, thick and firm, was anchored to the floor, immovable!


She watched helplessly as the ants crawled onto the swaddling clothes wrapped around the baby. Her lips turned pale as she desperately hacked at the handcuffs and tried prying the nails fixed in the floor tiles with the knife tip! But it was useless!


Nothing worked!


The nails were hammered in tightly!


Her wrist was locked firmly!


Unable to break free!


As the baby let out the first sharp cry, Cherry cried too, tears flowing, sobbing, "What do I do, what do I do? What do I do..."


She could control ghosts but couldn’t save people; she could extract living souls but couldn’t disperse mindless insects.


Not everyone present was heartless, some women welled up with tears, and some men shut their eyes tight.


The baby’s parents cried as if they were dying.


Suddenly, Purple Summers said to Alexander Summers, "Hurry! Take off your clothes!"


Alexander Summers was stunned for a moment, quickly reacting, immediately unbuttoning. With one hand inconvenienced, Purple helped him tug and pull, clothes off in seconds, then slapped them in the direction of the swaddling clothes!


The clothes were large, and when flung onto the ground, they were like a fan, creating a mighty gust!


This gust might be useless to humans but could have a significant impact on the tiny ants!


Inspired, others took off their clothes and joined in.


However, they were too far from the balcony, and no matter how hard they tried, they could only slow down the ants’ progress.


The sounds of fighting outside the door grew nearer and more intense. The door was repeatedly slammed but still, no one came to their rescue!


The baby’s cries were heart-wrenching. Black spots increased on the pale blue swaddling clothes. Ants gathered more densely.


To ordinary people, man-eating ants weren’t terrifying. But for a helpless infant, unable to run, walk, or swat away the ants, they were a deadly threat!


Cherry’s tears fell like raindrops, as if the child were her own!


The knife in her hand unconsciously hacked at the handcuffs, leaving several crimson cuts on her skin.


Gavin Graves couldn’t bear to watch any longer, raised his voice to stop her, "Cherry! Stop chopping! Someone will come in soon!"


Lester Williams and Zack Wallace’s men were just outside the door, but with the strong opposition and the door locked, when would they come in? And would the infant last until then?


At the auction, such a thick snake turned into bones within minutes. How long could a tender-skinned baby endure?


Moreover, what if bitten in the eyes? What if they crawl into the ears?


"It’s too late..." Cherry gazing tearfully in that direction, "No one wants me, that’s why I can’t make it, both parents here, why can’t they make it?... Why can’t they..."


She looked down at her blood-red wrist, drew a deep breath, eyes filled with fierce determination.


Gavin faintly realized what she was about to do, full of shock!


"Cherry!" he shouted angrily, reaching for her shoulder!


But he was still too late.


Cherry gripped the dagger tightly, forcefully slashing down at her own wrist—
