Chapter 966
A man in a police uniform continued pointing his sniper rifle at Madeline. He was unmistakably on
guard, ready to shoot another bullet if thest was not fatal.
However, it seemed the chances of Madeline surviving were low. Rosalie stared at Madeline,
twitching on the ground. Then, she noticed a device rolling out of Madeline’s pocket, and Rosalie’s
expression changed slightly.
The device resembled a remote control with a countdown. Now, it was counting down from 8, 7,
6…
It was a timer.
‘Was Madeline fiddling with this timer in her pocket?
What exactly is this device for?’ Rosalie suddenly had a bad feeling, but Madeline could no longer
speak by then. After her body convulsed for a while, she stopped moving, as if announcing the end
of her life. Then, Jonathan rushed forward and grabbed Rosalie’s arm. “Let’s go! I’ll take you to the
hospital.” As he said that, he bent down to pick her up.
“Jon, this timer-” An explosion suddenly went off before Rosalie could finish her words, and the
whole building began to shake.
It was a bomb.
Rosalie froze and finally understood what the timer in Madeline’s pocket was used for. It was a
device to detonate the bomb.
“Everyone, get out of here!” Jonathan ordered.
Those who could work for Jonathan were naturally skillful. Within a short time, they had already
started looking for the best escape route.
The helicopters hovering in the sky lowered the ropedders. These helicopters could carry some
people
away.
The explosion continued, and some parts of the abandoned building began to crack. It could
copse at any time.
Jonathan held Rosalie and tried to hold their ground.
“Lillian! Hurry and get Lillian on the helicopter!” Rosalie shouted. Her friend was pregnant, and the
safest way to leave was via helicopter.
“Don’t worry! Someone will take Lillian to the helicopter,” Jonathan assured.
As he expected, immediately after he spoke, two people had already arrived at Lillian’s side and led
her to climb the ropedder put down by the helicopter.
Seeing her friend holding the ropedder and slowly climbing up, Rosalie finally calmed down a
little.
“We should go, too.” As Jonathan spoke, he quickly tore off her sleeve and used it to press on the
wound on her neck first, fearing that she would bleed more. “Don’t worry about anything else right
now. You only have to grab onto the ropedder and climb slowly until you reach the top, got it?”
He instructed while carrying her toward the ropedder nearest to them.
Rosalie leaned against Jonathan’s chest. He was not wearing a top then, and the freezing rooftop
wind made his chest feel icy.
However, she felt particrly at ease because he was there. It felt like she did not need to worry at
all with him here.
Jon, you saved me again,” Rosalie murmured. “Just now, if Madeline didn’t get distracted, do you…
You didn’t really n on stripping naked, did you?”
Even though her neck would hurt every time she spoke, she still could not help but ask him the
question.
His dark eyes stared at her. “What if I did n to do that? If she weren’t distracted, I’d continue
stripping. If she keeps holding you hostage until the end, and I can’t find an opportunity to save you,
even if she wants me to crawl like a dog, I’d do it.”

Rosalie’s eyes were full of shock as she stared at Jonathan, thinking, “This prideful man would do

much for me?”
“Why? Don’t you believe me that I’d go that far?” Jonathan asked.
She shook her head with difficulty. “N-No…”
“It doesn’t matter whether you believe me or not. I’m willing to throw everything away to save you.
So, what about you? If I’m in danger one day, will you alsoe to save me, no matter what?” He
asked as if directing the question to himself rather than her.
He did not intend to wait for her answer at all. He carried her toward the ropedder and carefully
put her on the ground where many cracks had been formed. Then, he let her stabilize herself before
pulling thedder over.
Just then, another loud explosion sounded.
The explosion also shook Rosalie and Jonathan. The cracks on the rooftop under their feet were
gettingrger, and the whole building was on the verge of copse.
With another explosion, the ground under Rosalie’s feet suddenly caved in, and her body
immediately fell. Yet, a hand firmly grabbed ahold of her and stopped her from falling.
“It’s Jon! He caught me!” Rosalie eximed inwardly.
Rosalie struggled to raise her head and only saw Jonathan holding her hand tightly. His other hand
clutched onto the ropedder, trying his best to pull her up.
However, the cracks on the rooftop he stood on continued crumbling. It would copse at any time.
The explosion kept on going off, and more areas of the rooftop fell.
He could not find a stable focus point on this crumbling rooftop. It was impossible to pull her up with
one hand.
Rosalie knew this very well unless he grabbed her with both hands.
Nevertheless, he had to grab onto the ropedder with his other hand. Once he let go, the two of
them.
would fall.
In an instant, various memories shed across Rosalie’s mind, and she made a decision. “Jon,
remember to take care of Guille, Jen, and Zeki. Zeki… You’ll need to be more patient with him. Also,
you can tell them I’ve gone to a far ce and can onlye home in a long time. When they grow
up, you can tell them the truth.”
Rosalie said with difficulty. Crimson blood had soaked the tie around her neck, dripping along the
cloth strip.
Jonathan’s face suddenly turned pale. He scolded, “Don’t talk anymore, Rosalie! I want you to stop
talking again! I’ll get you out of here!”
“Her words sounded like a final message! She can’t leave me!” These were the only thoughts filling
Jonathan’s head.
