EN By Snow De Eira Chapter 476


    As he got closer toward Meredith, Josiah could now see clearly that Meredith‘s rope was stretched


    thinner and thinner and that she could drop any minute.


    Meredith was in just as dangerous a situation as he was. Ysabelle though had already left the building


    whileughing away manically, Meredith who was quivering in fear did not even dare to breathe hard.


    But even so, the rope tied around her broke in the end. Josiah had just crossed two–thirds of the


    walkway when he heard the rope breaking apart. He immediately looked toward Meredith.


    “Edith!” Josiah cried out.


    He then ran over to Meredith without even thinking.


    “Joe” Meredith was falling over and her mind had gone nk.


    She thought she would drop to the ground and her life would end just like that.


    All of a sudden, she stopped falling. She opened her eyes abruptly to see Josiah grabbing onto her


    shirt‘s cor.


    “Joe...” She thought that she was safe now but she soon realized that Josiah too was hanging mid–air.


    He had one hand holding onto the edge of the third floor and the other hand that was grabbing her


    cor.


    “Edith, hurry up and jump inside.” Josiah was struggling to not let his grip on the edge slip.


    Because there was nothing for him to hang on to and Josiah felt as if his fingers would easily slip off


    from the edge.


    Meredith was just near the second floor but because she was frightened, she did not dare to take the


    jump


    “Joe, I…”


    “Don‘t be scared, I’ll protect you.” Josiah was gritting his teeth tightly but he still smiled at Meredith to


    encourage her.


    But before Meredith could even take a leap, Josiah could not hold on anymore.

    He was slipping off from the edge and with all the strength left in him, he swung Meredith toward the


    second floor.


    Meredithnded hard on the cemented ground of the second floor. She immediately felt a wave of


    piercing pain crashing into her.


    Before she could even make sense of what was happening, she heard a loud thud of something


    landing on the ground.


    “Joe...” Startled, Meredith murmured his name as she crawled toward the edge and looked down.


    At the sight of Josiah who was leaning against a pile of bricks without moving, Meredith was


    in shock After a pause, she called out, “Joe, what‘s wrong with you see,


    Staggering and stumbling, Meredith tried to find her way to go downstairs


    s


    But the oldctory was too big, and she just could not seem to find the way to w domu and she started


    breaking into tears,


    Meredith could not recall when and how she passed out. She only remembered that she was running


    around in circles on the second floor, not able to find the exit,


    And after a while, her legs gave her away and she cked out, By the time she regained


    consciousness, she was already in the hospital, The smell of antiseptics choked her and she was


    surrounded by painstakingly white walls She called out anxiously, “Joe...” Even though she did not


    recall how she passed out, she remembered clearly how Josiah had saved her and sell to the ground,


    The sight of Josiah lying lifelessly on the pile of bricks was harrowing and terrifying to Meredith.


    “Ma’am, you‘re awake.” Yoseph walked into the room to see Meredith staring nkly at the ceiling with


    tears in her eyes, and she was calling out to Josiah.


    At the sight of Yoseph, Meredith grabbed his hands and asked, “Yoseph, where is Joe? How is he? He


    fell to the ground. Did you guys manage to find him?” Yoseph patted her hands andforted her,


    “Calm down, ma‘am, Sir is in the ICU and he will be fine.“
