Chapter 236: Chapter 236: Rescuing Ethan 2
Christopher Hart and Amelia Garcia were still on their way when they received the message from the police—they had pinpointed Lily Garcia’s exact location!
The two of them raced up to the seventh floor in one breath. Exhausted, Amelia caught sight of her son being held by that lunatic Lily at the edge of the rooftop and immediately felt her heart constrict, sinking down like a weed in the wind.
Christopher quickly supported her, his voice shaking, "Amelia, pull yourself together!"
The child was motionless, and the ground beneath the two was covered in blood. Christopher didn’t know what had happened, or if his son had already been hurt by Lily...
But despite the overwhelming panic and fear, he had to stay calm.
At times like these, he needed to be even more composed and collected!
Worse comes to worst, even if his son had met with disaster, he had to make every effort to bring his child’s body back in one piece.
So, after a brief moment of mental preparation, he handed the devastated and powerless woman beside him over to the police, and pulled himself together.
The police held onto the weak Amelia, while whispering a reminder, "Mr. Hart, you keep her talking; the fire department is almost here and will quickly set up an air mattress, you must delay for time."
Without a word, Christopher walked forward with heavy, measured steps.
"Lily Garcia, I’m here. Just tell me what you want."
Lily stared at him and yelled into the night wind, "Christopher Hart, didn’t I tell you that only the two of you should come up? If there’s one more person, I’ll throw your son down!"
"They came on their own; I didn’t call them." Christopher, his expression stony like Hades, replied in a low voice, continuing to move forward slowly.
Lily was shrewd and saw his intent, shouting sharply, "Don’t come any closer, or I’ll throw him down this instant!"
"Alright, I won’t move." Christopher stopped in his tracks, stayed put, and kept negotiating with her, "Lily Garcia, it’s me you hate, the child is innocent. Let him go. Whatever you want, I’m with you."
"With me?" She started to laugh, then, while laughing, tears rolled down her face in the wind. It was hard to tell whether it was out of heartache or the sharp pain in her abdomen.
"I want to die... I have only the path of death left! Will you join me in death?" she asked, staring at him.
Christopher’s expression remained steadfast, not a trace of hesitation in his eyes, "Fine, I’ll join you."
"..." Lily’s face showed shock, her tear-filled gaze fixed on him in disbelief.
"Can I keep walking forward? You let the child go, and I’ll join you in death." Since she didn’t respond, Christopher continued moving forward.
"Stop!" Lily snapped back to reality and shouted again, "You’re lying to me, you must be deceiving me!"
Tears cascaded as she lowered her eyes, her tone dropping somewhat, almost as if talking to herself, "I’ve been by your side for so many years, and you never noticed me... I love you so much, it’s because of my love for you that I lied... I thought once you married me and our relationship stabilized, I could confess and apologize to you... I believed that my sincere love would move you, and then you wouldn’t care that I tricked you..."
"But unexpectedly... unexpectedly she wasn’t dead! She suddenly came back!"
The woman turned her head towards them again, her pitch rising, "She lied to you too! Why can you forgive her? And still love her so much! Why not me? My love for you is no less than hers! She no longer loves you, she doesn’t love you anymore, but you still cling to her, while I love you so much... I’m willing to sacrifice everything for you, but you don’t care at all!"
Her angry and loud cry woke up the drugged Ethan in her arms.
The previously lifeless little boy who had been dangling his head slowly raised it, causing a stir among the crowd!
"The child is alright!"
"The child woke up!"
"Look, the child is awake!"
The urgent and excited shouts of the police officers brought Amelia back to life somewhat.
Looking closely, it was true, Ethan was indeed raising his head, he was awake!
"Ethan!" Amelia suddenly came alive, shouting excitedly.
Christopher also saw his son wake up, his face twitching and shaking. The eyes that held the deepest of sorrows reddened abruptly, and a tear rolled down from the corner of his eye.
"My son..."
Ethan gradually came to and saw everything clearly, suddenly starting to move: "Mom! Mom... I’m so scared... Mom, come save me!"
"Ethannn!" Amelia instinctively ran forward, but after taking only two steps, Lily Garcia shouted hoarsely, "Don’t come over!"
At the same time, she turned over, raising her leg and carrying the child in her arms over the edge of the roof.
"Don’t!!!"
Amelia was scared out of her wits, feeling as though her eyeballs were about to shatter.
Christopher Hart caught her just in time, his world collapsing as he helplessly watched Lily Garcia flip over with their son.
Everyone was so frightened that their hair stood on end, and they rushed forward.
However, in the next second, they saw Lily Garcia’s upper body reappear, still holding the child.
"If you come any closer, I’ll really jump!" she shouted, hugging the child in the crook of one arm, her other hand clinging to the edge of the rooftop.
The crowd breathed a sigh of relief, then realizing there was another layer of ledge on the exterior wall of the rooftop.
But the ledge along the outside of regular buildings is very narrow, and with her unstable emotions and the struggling child in her arms, the two of them could fall at any moment.
Everyone was hesitant to make a move, fearing it would set her off.
The police were again urging the walkie-talkie, inquiring whether the fire rescue facilities below were ready.
Amelia listened to her son’s crying, her heart starting to beat ferociously again, and she shouted hoarsely: "Ethan, Mommy’s here! Mommy and Daddy are both here! Don’t move, don’t move at all!"
Christopher held onto her, but had no time to comfort her, looking towards Lily Garcia and pleading again, "The person you want revenge on is me, let the child go, whatever you want to do, I’m with you."
Lily Garcia had suffered a miscarriage, the pain in her abdomen making her consciousness grow weaker and weaker, and with a child in her arms, she was at risk of falling at any moment.
Hearing the man’s words, she laughed softly and frivolously, "Okay... you come over, you stay with me, and I’ll let your son go..."
"Alright."
Christopher agreed and turned back to Amelia, whispering a promise: "Don’t worry, I will save our son."
Amelia watched his grave and serious face, even with a hint of facing-death bravery, felt a tightness in her chest, and subconsciously gripped his hand tighter: "Be careful."
Hearing this, Christopher’s lips curved into a slight smile, "With your words, no matter what happens, it will be worth it..."
He thought that she only cared about their son’s safety and was completely indifferent to his own life or death—even hoping he would simply die and be done with it. That way, no one would pester her, and she wouldn’t have to worry about him taking their son away.
Their hands slowly let go, and Christopher walked toward the edge of the rooftop.
A helicopter had flown into the sky at some unknown time, its spotlight shining down like daylight from the sky.
Lily Garcia’s hair fluttered in the wind, her complexion as frightening as a ghost’s as she stared at the resolute man marching towards her, so handsome, so dashing...
She couldn’t help but smile, "Christopher..."
Christopher approached the edge of the rooftop, with only a wall separating him from the woman and child.
The helicopter’s light enabled him to clearly see his son’s location—without hesitation, he lunged with both hands towards his son.
The smile on Lily Garcia’s face suddenly froze as she realized the man’s intent and quickly turned to dodge.
But she didn’t have the strength; her arms couldn’t support the weight of a five-year-old child...
Under the bright light, countless eyes watched in clear horror as the child was thrown out!
Everyone’s hearts hung in the air.
However, at the moment the child was thrown, a tall figure leaped out like an arrow from the inside of the rooftop—
