By then, Shawn had Joshua safely in his arms. However, Natalie, ruthless and frenzied, refused to give up, "Don't go, Joshua! We are supposed to die together!" She wanted to drag Joshua off the building.At that moment, Pearton viciously grabbed Natalie's arm with both hands, turned around, and jumped out of the window. He used the sudden momentum to drag her down.Natalie had no time to react; her whole body was yanked out of the window by Pearton, and they vanished.Silence fell to the ward, leaving only the sound of rushing wind and the sight of the curtain blowing up. After a moment, Gale struggled to climb up and looked down. "Pearton… Pearton, it's you!" she murmured.The thrilling scene left everyone dumbfounded. Pearton still had a safety rope attached to him. After falling about seven or eight meters, he stopped in mid-air and hung there. Natalie held onto his safety rope tightly, still gripping that knife.Pearton was bleeding. He bit his teeth so hard that h

Pearton and Natalie fell like leaves.Their free fall only lasted a few seconds.Gale watched it unfold with wide eyes. The rescue trampoline on the ground now had two black figures on it. They looked like ants, but they were two living people. Slowly, blood began to seep from them, quickly staining a large area. The bright red blood looked so chilling.Gale felt like her eyes were also tainted red; everything she looked at was shrouded in a red haze. "Pearton..." All her strength seemed drained, and she closed her eyes, unable to bear watching anymore. Why, in the end, did someone have to pay the price of their life for Natalie's madness? Why? Natalie's death was no loss; she reaped what she sowed. But Pearton... Pearton was such a good person! Gale did not want anything to happen to Pearton either! She propped herself up on the windowsill and stood up, wanting to go downstairs and look at Pearton... However, everything went black before her, and Gale fell to the ground.

The entire scene was eerily quiet, resembling a silent pantomime. In less than a minute, Pearton was rushed to the operating room. Meanwhile, the nurses were about to cover Natalie with a white sheet."No!" Heather rushed forward, throwing herself onto Natalie. "My daughter is not dead. She's not dead; she's just sleeping... Get away! Get away!" She pulled at the white sheet, forcefully tossing it aside. "No one can touch my daughter. I will protect her."Matthew walked slowly over. "Heather...""You too, go away! I don't want to see you!" Heather screamed. She cradled Natalie's head, all bloodied, a terrifying sight.Shawn observed coldly. After a while, he uttered, "God is fair." They both fell from the same height. Natalie died on the spot, but Pearton still had a chance of survival!Shawn would get the best medical resources in the entire city, sparing no effort to save Pearton. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would not give up. He wanted Pearton alive, as he was th

"Natalie, why do you insist on dying?""Is it so hard to admit your mistakes? Is it so hard to repent? To humble yourself... Is that more unbearable for you than death?"Aurum lowered his eyes, looking at the pool of blood beneath him. Natalie's blood stained his fingers.As the police approached, Aurum said, "Let me handle her body.""Okay, what relation are you to her?""I..."Aurum suddenly paused. Yes, who was he to Natalie? He was merely her former fiance.After a long pause, Aurum finally spoke, "I am entrusted by her parents to take care of her affairs. Her parents couldn't bear the blow and left just now.""Alright, sign here."Aurum nodded, numbly following the procedure. Others avoided looking at Natalie's corpse, reluctant to glance at her lifeless state.Aurum had no such reservations; he even personally wiped the dirt off her face. He saw the various wounds on her arms and chest, new and old.Shawn had his hands behind his back, standing by the window, observing

What goes around comes around. Shawn held Gale's hand tightly, continuously placing light kisses on her lips."If only I had known that such a dangerous thing would happen, I would have never left your sight. Gale, I will never let you go," he whispered."Leaving you alone worries me. Look at what happened today.""I don't want to leave you alone, but you're always too strong and independent.""In the future, stand with me. I'll protect you, protect Nicole, and also protect Joshua."After this incident, Shawn accepted Joshua. Although he was mischievous and slick, he always showed up for the moments that mattered most.Shawn felt it would be a good idea if he entrusted Nicole to Joshua.A man who is brave, resourceful, and responsible and who stepped forward at the most dangerous moment is hard to come by!He could entrust his daughter to such a man without any worries. He would not be wronged or let down!The tender fingertips in Shawn's palms suddenly moved lightly."Joshua
