Chapter 2076 Selfishness


    Elisa and the jumper observed as the police departed.


    Determination shone in Elisa’s eyes. She understood that she could only rely on herself, and failure


    was not an option. She had to seed.


    Simrly, the two of them, each with their own hidden motives, began to chat aimlessly.


    Elisa obtained a bag of beer from somewhere and slowly approached the man.


    The person determined to end his life was very cautious, stopping Elisa when she was still two or three


    meters away from him.


    “Stop right there! If you take one more step, I’ll jump!” he yelled.


    Elisa remained silent, making calctions in her mind. If I turn around and rush over, there is no


    guarantee that I can safely pull him to the rooftop. Moreover, due to the rain, the rooftop is extremely


    slippery. He might identally slip and fall, making the situation much worse.


    Therefore, when Elisa was about two meters away, she halted, raised the beer in her hand, and asked,


    “Would you like some?”


    “The person was clearly surprised, unable to understand why Elisa still had the mood to drink in such a


    situation.


    He gulped and declined her offer.


    Elisa chuckled and nonchntly opened a beer.


    She was genuinely thirsty. Tilting her head back, she drank more than half of it in one go. She couldn’t


    help but let out a satisfied sigh and say, “It’s delicious.”


    The person contemting suicide stared nkly at her.


    Elisa’s alcohol tolerance wasn’t the best, so her face turned red almost instantly. However, this made


    her appear even more radiant.


    Elisa had intended to have a drink together to establish a connection between them. Since he wasn’t


    going to drink, she could only drink alone.


    Elisa gazed at the man and said, “Before you arrived, I already knew everything about you. I know you


    have a seriously ill wife at home, and I understand why you’re considering this. But I have to ask, is it


    truly worth it?”


    The man’s gaze was somewhat evasive, his psychological defenses seemingly shattered by Elisa’s few


    words.


    However, he stubbornly clung to his position, refusing to admit defeat even in the face of death.


    “I have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about,” he said.


    Elisa chuckled, brushing off the raindrops on her clothes. “After you’re gone, how can you be certain


    that your wife will receive proper treatment and care? Even if she recovers, knowing that her life was


    exchanged for yours, how would she feel? Would she be able to ept it peacefully? If I remember


    correctly, you also have a daughter. She’s only eight years old this year… Can you truly bear it? To


    simply let go and leave them to shoulder everything as a widow and an orphan


    Elisa began to coax and reason with the man, speaking from the heart.


    It seemed that she truly touched him, as Elisa clearly observed the changes in his expression.


    That indicated that she was on the right track.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    Elisa continued, “You wouldn’t want your daughter to lose her father at such a young age, would you?


    When she goes to school, there will be people who will discriminate against her, and you won’t be there


    to support her.”


    Elisa took a sip of beer and continued. “Don’t indulge in such self-centered behavior. It’s incredibly


    selfish towards your daughter and your wife. You’ve left them with all the hardships and longing while


    you walk away, driven by your own actions. Is that fair?”


    “Stop talking! I had no choice… God has never given me the option to choose!” The man began


    sobbing.


    The person contemting suicide became emotional.


    At that moment, a junior police officer cautiously asked Ernest if they should intervene.
