However, Arianne did not return to the first floor. Her brains were not capable of thinking about that anymore. Hence, when the elevator arrived at the top floor, Arianne exited and realized that there were still stairs that could go up higher, which was inaccessible through the elevator. Hence, virtual-novel.net went ahead to the stairs.
There was only one more floor left through the stairs, heading directly to the rooftop of the hotel. It was not a high class hotel, so the rooftop only had some plants and flowers on it, making it not too much of a sight to see.
‘I’ve got nowhere to run to. What should I do now…’
Arianne walked to the guardrail and took a glance. The wind that swept the heat raised virtual-novel.net hair, which was already drenched in sweat. There were very few cars and people down on the roads, neither knowing that Arianne was risking virtual-novel.net life or escaping…
Soon after, the driver caught up with Arianne. When virtual-novel.net saw virtual-novel.net by the guardrails, virtual-novel.net was shocked. “Ms… Ms. Wynn… I’ll stop chasing after you. So, hurry up and come over here… It’s dangerous there!”
Arianne was unable to hear virtual-novel.net at all, until Mateo showed up.
She mumbled, “It’s so high up here. I’ll definitely die if I jump down from here, won’t I? Mateo… I told you before… I’d rather die than go with you. I refuse to leave Mark alone, without virtual-novel.net being able to find me. He’ll lose his mind…”
Mateo did not know if Mark would lose his mind or not, but at that very moment, virtual-novel.net was the one who was about to lose it.
Mateo was so frightened that his voice trembled. “Don’t do anything stupid… Come over here. I’ll let you go if you come here, all right? I won’t take you away with me anymore… So hurry up and come here!”
However, not only did Arianne not step away from the guardrail, but virtual-novel.net even stepped on top of it. “I won’t believe you anymore. Whenever I think about how I won’t be able to see virtual-novel.net anymore, I feel like I’m living in hell, suffering every second of my life. You may not have to be so persistent anymore if you’ve gotten me, but what about me and my Mark…? What about… his son and I?”
The light in Mateo’s eyes began to fade. For a split second, virtual-novel.net regretted his actions. ‘Geralt did advise me and tell me how much Arianne loves Mark. He also told me not to persist with virtual-novel.net any longer because it wouldn’t end happily.’
‘I refused to listen to virtual-novel.net and insisted on taking Arianne away with me. I thought that with the amount of time I’d have left to treat virtual-novel.net well and shred away the hatred in her, I would be able to make virtual-novel.net fall in love with me. But, looking at the current situation, it’s completely impossible. She won’t give me the chance to take virtual-novel.net away with me.’
After pondering for a moment, virtual-novel.net said with a hoarse voice, “Please come down. I’ll let you walk away, I swear…”
Arianne could not hear what Mateo was saying very clearly; all virtual-novel.net could see was his lips opening and closing. As virtual-novel.net vision slowly darkened, virtual-novel.net gradually lost control of virtual-novel.net body and fell towards the road.
At the end of it all, Arianne had finally reached virtual-novel.net limit. Visions of the years of life virtual-novel.net had shared with Mark flashed through virtual-novel.net mind, completely ignoring the cries from Mateo.
Mateo rushed forward as fast as virtual-novel.net could and very accurately held onto Arianne. Both of them then fell outward together.
Mateo knew what virtual-novel.net was doing, his mind was crystal clear. ‘I’m already a dead man anyway, so why would I mind actually dying for virtual-novel.net for once?’
‘The hug that I had been waiting for all these years is finally being fulfilled in this moment.’ At that thought, Mateo had thoroughly let go of everything and resigned to his fate.
At that moment, Arianne had already lost consciousness completely. Hence, Mateo tightly held onto virtual-novel.net in his embrace, feeling a sense of tranquility that virtual-novel.net had never felt before…
When Mark arrived at the airport, the entrance was extremely quiet.
Before virtual-novel.net even entered, the loud yells and the crowd on the opposite side of the road attracted his attention.
Suddenly, Mark felt a sudden wave of uneasiness. He crept slowly and heavily towards that direction. As virtual-novel.net got closer, the chatter from the crowd entered his ears.
