Chapter 1404


    She was very happy during her days spent with him. Very happy indeed, so much so that she did not


    realize that she, who did not fear death, was also capable of emotional attachment. However, all of this


    had been given to her by Jared…


    As the wind hissed past her ears, her mind became flooded with memories and thoughts about Jared.


    She suddenly felt remorseful for lying to him. If she died, he would be devastated. Strangely enough,


    Nicole, who had always been strong, had tears streaming down her face before being carried away by


    the wind.


    “Goodbye… Jared…” Just as she closed her eyes, waiting for death to arrive, she heard a scream in


    her ear.


    “Nicole!” Nicole subconsciously darted her eyes to the side and saw Jared rushing toward the spot


    where she would fall. Just as she was about to crash, he suddenly opened his arms.


    “No!” Nicole screamed, for she would rather die than to see him get hurt trying to save her.


    However, unable to change the direction in which she was falling, shended atop Jared, who


    managed to cushion her fall.


    “Ugh!”


    After she had heard a grunt, she heard a loud thud from below, whereupon there was another thud,


    and then a loud shriek.


    “HELP! There is a dead person!”


    “Someone just fell down the building!”


    Pandemonium erupted around her at once. Arge group of nurses and doctors rushed in, in a hurry.


    The entire ce was filled with a cacophony of screams, chatters, andmands. And yet, in the


    midst of it all, Nicole could only hear Jared’s weak voice.


    “I… Caught you…” His voice was still deep and husky, but as he uttered the words, Nicole’s heart


    began to ache, as though as it had been sliced open.


    It must have been painful for him, as the entire weight of her body hadnded on him at such a height.


    She raised her head to look at Jared, whose face was already as pale as sheet. The corner of his lips


    had runnels of blood seeping through, but he was still staring at her with a smile.


    “You IDIOT… Why did youe back? Why… why did you even catch me!?”


    ‘This damn fool! Does he not know that a person falling down from the seventh floor can actually


    squash those below them!?’ Nicole thought.


    Looking at Nicole’s red eyes, he noticed that it was actually the first time she had cried in front of him,


    and though there was an excruciating pain in his chest, he mustered all of the strength left in him and


    lifted his hands to wipe her tears away. “Don’t cry…”


    But his touch only made her tears flow uncontrobly…


    “You idiot! Idiot!” Nicole yelled, not knowing what else to say.


    She hastily got up from him to feel his pulse, panicking as she could not feel anything. Indeed, his


    pulse was very weak, and he was barely alive anymore.


    “Help, Help!” she yelled.N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    This was the first time in which Nicole had experience such severe panic. She had never experience


    this in the past, not even when she had experience life-threatening injuries from her missions.


    However, she was utterly terrified today. She was afraid of losing Jared and she feared that he would


    leave her.


    The doctors then brought a stretcher, after which they ced Jared on top of it and rushed him into the


    hospital building.
