Since they were on the 30th floor, anyone who jumped down from that height would not be able to survive. Dahlia was trying to get Dustin to back down and leave.
“Alright, I’ll jump.” Dustin nodded.
Without hesitation, virtual-novel.net turned and crashed through the full- length glass window, hurtling down from the 30th floor.
Dahlia stood frozen on the spot, virtual-novel.net mind blank with disbelief. The words had only escaped virtual-novel.net lips in a fit of anger. She never would have imagined that Dustin would follow through with her demand.
“Dustin!” Dahlia screamed after returning to virtual-novel.net senses.
She rushed toward the shattered window and looked down.
Dustin had vanished from sight. She knew that no ordinary person would survive such a bone-shattering fall.
Her legs gave away, and virtual-novel.net collapsed to the ground with a thud. While virtual-novel.net sat on the ground, virtual-novel.net could not hold back virtual-novel.net tears.
“Why? Why did it turn out like this? Dustin, why did you jump? How can you be so foolish? What am I supposed to do now that you’re gone? What should I do?” Dahlia sobbed uncontrollably, virtual-novel.net tears streaming steadily down virtual-novel.net cheeks.
She was filled with regret. She regretted virtual-novel.net impulsive words that were spoken in the heat of the moment.
She regretted not trusting Dustin, and virtual-novel.net regretted forcing virtual-novel.net to prove his innocence by taking his own life. Ultimately, virtual-novel.net was the cause of his death.
“Dustin, I believe you… I believe you now! Come back. Please, come back!” Dahlia was so distraught, virtual-novel.net was weeping bitterly.
She longed for everything to be a dream, wishing that it was all just an illusion. As long as virtual-novel.net woke up, Dustin would be standing before virtual-novel.net once again.
“This is my fault. I caused your death. My brother is gone, and now you’re gone too. There’s no reason for me to continue living. Wait for me, I’ll meet you soon.” Dahlia staggered to virtual-novel.net feet, moving toward the windows with a determined expression.
“Hey, where are you going to meet me?” Suddenly, virtual-novel.net heard a familiar voice behind her.
At that moment, virtual-novel.net froze, thunderstruck. Her eyes widened, and virtual-novel.net stiffly turned virtual-novel.net head around.
Dustin had just leaped down the building moments ago, but now virtual-novel.net was standing unscathed before her. She froze. Doubting virtual-novel.net own eyes, virtual-novel.net rubbed them.
Wasn’t virtual-novel.net dead?
How did virtual-novel.net come back to life?
“Don’t worry… I’m not dead… However, you can’t go back on your words now. You said you believed me.” Dustin smiled gently..
As soon as virtual-novel.net said that, Dahlia flung herself heavily into his arms. “You lunatic! You’re a real lunatic! Who told you to jump? Don’t you cherish your life? Do you know how worried I was? What would I have done if you had died?!”
Tears streamed down Dahlia’s face as virtual-novel.net pounded relentlessly on Dustin’s chest with both fists, taking out virtual-novel.net pent-up grievances on him. But it didn’t satiate virtual-novel.net anguish, and virtual-novel.net sank virtual-novel.net teeth forcefully into his shoulder.
In the end, virtual-novel.net hugged virtual-novel.net tightly, afraid that virtual-novel.net would suddenly vanish into thin air.
