She shook her head with difficulty. “No… No…”

“It doesn’t matter whether you believe it. I would do anything to save you, but what about you? If I got into danger one day, would you do anything to save me too?” he said, but he seemed to be talking to himself.

He did not intend to wait for her answer at all. He carried her to the bottom of the rope ladder, carefully placed her on the ground where there were a lot of cracks now. He told her to get on her feet before pulling the rope ladder over.

Just then, there was another huge explosion.

Grace and Jason’s bodies shook. The cracks on the rooftop floor beneath them were getting bigger and bigger. The whole building was in danger.

With another explosion, the ground beneath Grace’s feet collapsed and her body instantly started to fall. However, another hand grabbed her hand firmly and stopped her from falling.

‘It’s… Jay’s hand! He caught me!’

Grace struggled to raise her head, only to see Jason grabbing her hand tightly with one hand and pulling the helicopter’s rope ladder with the other. He was exerting his strength to pull her up.

However, the cracks on the rooftop floor beneath his feet were also spreading. They would collapse at any moment.

The explosions continued. A bigger and bigger expanse of the rooftop floor around them collapsed.

On this rooftop that would collapse at any time, he could not find a force-bearing point at all. It was impossible to pull her up with one hand.

Grace knew this very well! The only way was for him to grab her with both hands!

However, he was holding onto the rope ladder with his other hand. If he let go of it, they would both fall together!

All of a sudden, all sorts of images flashed across Grace’s mind. The conclusion she came to was… “Jay, remember to bring up Mick, Jasper, and Mason well. Mason… needs more patience from you… Also, tell them that I’ve gone somewhere very far and that it’ll be a long time before I come back. When they’re older, tell them… the truth…”

Grace struggled to speak as crimson blood-soaked the cloth around her neck. The blood dripped down the fabric.

Jason suddenly turned pale, and he snapped. “Stop it, Grace! I’m telling you to stop! I’ll get you out of here!”

‘It’s almost she’s giving her last wishes! She can’t leave me!’

This was everything Jason was thinking about.

Though she wanted to betray him and flee from him, and though she married him and said she loved him, it was just for the children. Though he would never matter the most to her, these… were nothing compared to her death.

He suddenly could endure all the rest a little more. The only thing he could not stand was her leaving!

It did not matter how she left.

Grace smiled bitterly. She wished she could find another way as well, but in this situation, she… did not have the strength to climb up the rope ladder, and there was no way he could use one arm to pull her up.

Perhaps life was always about making decisions, just like how she chose to fall into the sea. That was a decision too.

He heard another explosion, and he started sinking because the cracks were rapidly spreading to his side.

“Young master Reed, your side is collapsing!” someone shouted anxiously at the helicopter door.

Grace knew she was only a burden at the moment. He could have quickly climbed the rope ladder and left if not for her.

“Jay, climb up… the rope ladder. It… It’s okay… I… I know you love me, everything… You just have no choice!” she stammered. The thought of what would happen to her did not cross her mind at the time. All she wanted was for him to be safe and sound.

“That’s enough. Stop it. I want you to stop saying that!” Jason’s expression turned more and more ghastly with sweat pouring out of his forehead. He desperately tried to concentrate and come up with a way for both of them to escape. However, the more he concentrated, the more intense the pain in his head was!

It was so painful that he could hardly think, and scenes he had never seen before kept recurring to him.

It was Grace sitting in a car, but half of the vehicle was hanging over the cliff. He could only look but not take a step closer.

‘What the hell is this?’ He recognized that cliff. It was the cliff where Grace had fallen into the sea.

‘Is this when Grace left me? But why is it so different from what I remember?

‘No… No more! No more of these!’

He kept shouting to himself, but the scenes kept recurring to him.

… He recorded his last words on the phone. If he died, all his assets would go to Grace.

… He went to the device and tried to disarm it, but Old master Reed had played him. The old man made him choose between two options.

He wanted to give his life so she could live, but… she used the time she had left and made the choice for him.

She pulled down the handbrake, and the car backed up as he watched it crash into the sea with her. Her last words were… for him to keep living and that… she loved him!

“Ah…” Jason let out a roar of pain. His eyes had now turned scarlet.

His head… was still in pain. The pain became more and more severe. Scenes kept flooding his mind, and he was losing his grip on her hand because of the pain.

“Grace… hold… Hold on tight to me… Don’t let go… We… We’ll find a way…” Jason said through the pain as every word seemed to be squeezed through his teeth.

Grace watched Jason in pain. He even knocked his head against the cracked ground as if to distract himself from what was going on in his head.

However, instead of tightening her hold on Jason’s hand as he told her to, Grace loosened her grip. Her slender wrist slowly slid from his fingers.

“Grace, no!” Jason shouted frantically. Tears had covered his face at some point.

His tears ran down his cheeks, dripping onto her face.

Drip! Drip!

It was so warm it made her feel it was okay and she would not regret it even if she sacrificed everything for this man.

It was because no one in the world loved her the way he did.
