Back to Love: A New Beginning
Chapter 189

Chapter 189:.

After answering the phone, Derek drove to the Taekwondo gym at full speed. Once we arrived, we jumped out of the car and ran straight to the rooftop. My legs went weak as we got there.

My heart jumped into my throat when I saw Janie. She was standing on top of the railing, her feet dangling. It looked like even a strong wind could propel her down.

Louise was facing Janie, not far from the railing. They were facing each other. Although it wasn’t a tall building, it was eight stories high. She couldn’t help but wonder if she would survive the fall if she plunged down.

He hadn’t expected Janie to resort to such extreme measures after her self-harm stunt failed.

“Hey, we’re all adults. You’re acting very childish. Get inside.”

Louise tried her best to remain calm as she talked to Janie. She knew the woman was sensitive at the moment, and her one word might provoke her to jump.

“Yes, I’m childish. I’m going to do a childish thing now. If it wasn’t for you, Felix wouldn’t have left me. It’s all your fault.” Janie was boiling with rage as she spoke, which scared the hell out of me.

“Janie, please calm down,” I tried to persuade her.

“I’m not going to calm down. I want to see Felix.”

“Okay, you go downstairs first. I’ll call him,” I said.

“Don’t lie to me,” Janie scoffed, “I don’t believe you. I’ll wait here until he comes to see me. If not, I’ll jump off the building and make him feel guilty for the rest of his life.” I pulled out my phone and called Felix.

“Felix, Janie…”

“Let her jump if she wants to. Don’t waste your time.” Felix grunted before I could finish my words. He seemed to be aware of the situation.

Janie was looking at me expectantly.

Perhaps she had understood what Felix had said to me after seeing my expression. “Felix, if you don’t come, I’ll jump,” she roared, “I won’t let you stay together even if I die.”

His body trembled. However, my heart almost jumped out of my chest when Louise climbed over the railing.

“Lulu, what are you doing? Come down. Don’t do anything foolish,” I shouted, my voice trembling.

Louise, however, just looked at Janie and said expressionlessly, “All right. Let’s jump together. After all, your mere presence is forcing me to die.”

“Louise, how dare you!” cried Felix anxiously and hung up the phone. He probably heard Louise’s words. On the one hand, I was worried about Louise and prayed that she wouldn’t do anything stupid. On the other hand, I comforted Janie and assured her that Felix would be here soon.

Felix soon appeared on the rooftop; his eyes were fixed on Louise. His face darkened as he approached the railing. “Louise, come down.”

“Felix, do you only care about her? Don’t you see me? Don’t you care about me at all?” asked Janie sadly. “Will I ever have a place in your heart again if I jump off the building?”

I worried that Janie would be stimulated if she saw that Felix only cared about Louise. The consequences would be irreversible. Felix’s chest heaved violently. I could tell he was doing his best to suppress his emotions.

He walked towards them with slow, careful steps. “Janie, you can’t solve the problem by doing this, can you? Come downstairs first. We can sit down and talk about it.” Janie’s eyes lit up with hope.

“You don’t want me to die, do you? You still care about me, don’t you?”

“Yes.” Felix nodded, looking at Louise. He walked slowly towards them, but he was closer to Louise. He had a bad feeling. As expected, Janie broke down.

“You lied to me! You’re only doing this to save her, you don’t care about my life! Since you care so much about her, I’ll let her die!” Without warning, Janie took two steps towards Louise.

Louise didn’t have time to react; neither did we. It all happened too fast. Before we knew it, Janie pushed Louise to the ground.

At that moment, Felix lunged at Louise but didn’t catch her. My heart started drumming in my chest as I saw him jump down.

I broke out in a cold sweat. Janie, who had climbed up to the roof to jump off the building, was still standing on the railing, screaming her head off.

Derek lunged at Janie, pulled her up and tossed her to the side. I hurried over to the railing and took a look down. A group of people had gathered below, and a huge air mattress was lying on the ground. The two people were curled up on the cushion, lying motionless.
