Emily closed her eyes as she let go of all the tears that welled up on her eyes. Every drop of tear fell down on Sean's eyes, and it felt like warm acid burning on his skin. He removed his hand on her face and paused for a few moments to look at Emily. There was a hint of malice on his eyes as he said, "I'm sorry, but everything will be fine after a sweet dream. I promise."
At the mention of the word 'dream', Emily's eyes immediately shot wide open. She shook her head violently and refuted, "No! I don't want to sleep. What difference does it make? It's going to kill me either way."
"You know what? I never intended to kill you, but you are really disappointing me right now. All I hope for you to do is be obedient," Sean said, the impatience evident in his tone. He then slightly pressed the syringe and a beam of liquid sprinkled out, making a beautiful curve in the air.
For Emily, the liquid looked more scary than beautiful. She had never once been frightened like this all her life. She struggled and tried to get up like a lunatic and even bit a few hands that were holding her down. "Let go of me! Let me go!" She yelled while thrashing on the bed.
No one expected that Emily would act like a crazy, wild animal, and soon, they all let go of their grip on her as they clutched onto their hands that were now red with bite marks.
At this very moment, Emily exerted all her strength and energy to struggle out of her binds and ran away from the room.
Sean tried to catch her, but he only got a piece of her white sleeve. The syringe then fell on his hand and on the ground, making Sean more furious and impatient.
"What are you just standing there for? Catch her!" Sean yelled, picking up the syringe on the ground as if it was the most precious and valuable thing on earth.
Emily looked back and saw the medical staff running after her. She knew better that it was impossible for her to run out of the Lu's building alone with all the people under the Lu family roaming around the building and especially her energy that was slowly draining would never let her make it outside.
Therefore, she decided to run above and as she reached the rooftop, she stood on the edge of the high-rise building, waiting for Sean.
Within the span of two minutes, Sean and his subordinates arrived at the rooftop.
Sean could not help squinting his eyes from the sun light. His eyes widened in surprise as it focused on Emily standing on the edge with the wind blowing her medical gown and hair. "Cloris, get away from there! It's dangerous!" he yelled.
He then ran immediately towards her.
"Stop! Stay back!" Emily shouted. She was so weak and frail that she felt like a kite now waving in the strong wind. It seemed like she didn't need to jump. One strong push from a wind could make her fall down. She ignored this feeling and focused her attention to Sean. "One step closer, and I will jump down from here!" she threatened, pointing down.
Sean froze on his tracks. His face fell and eyes darkened. "You… you would rather die than be with me."
It was more of a statement than a question. Emily waved her hand and said, "No, it's not what you think."
of her. Slowly, she stretched out her arms on her side gracefully despite her frail body. She looked like she was going to fly away like a butterfly.
Sean's eyes widened in fear as he knew what Emily was about to do. Without thinking about it, he called out, "I promise you! I promise you anything you want!
As long as you come down here and don't jump, I promise that I will not push you anymore. Just, come down here please!"
Emily opened her eyes and scoffed. In a cold voice and a hint of irony, she said, "I don't believe you."
Sean stared closely at her with wide eyes afraid that if he blinked, she would be gone right in front of his eyes. He trembled and could not help but feel nervous, "What should I do to make you believe? Should I write down a legal contract? Tell me, please!"
"It's simple. Let go of me," she said without any hint of emotion in her eyes and tone.
Sean shook his head slowly. "That's impossible."
He would never promise her that as it was his last resort. "But I can promise you that no matter what I do, I will always ask for your permission first and never force you to do anything against your will from now on. Do you hear me?"
For a short while, they just stayed in impasse like this.
In that moment of time, Emily could feel her energy draining away as her legs began to shake and tremble. She knew that she was going to fall any time now.
Sean trembled as well. Watching her like this made him really anxious and scared.
He wanted so much to drag her back here, but he controlled himself and never dared to act rashly especially when Emily was just one small jump away from death's door.
That was why, Sean decided to coax her away from the edge first, but before he could speak, a subordinate came to talk to him and whispered something in his ear. Emily wondered what could that be.
She noticed how Sean's expression turned complicated. As for him, he had expected that something like this would happen. He looked at Emily and thought about it for a second before he spoke in a gentle tone.
"Emily, come down please. Jacob is here for you."
