Chapter 439
“Mr. Andersen, I''m tossing you the rope. You''ve gotta make sure you and your wife slide down to safety!" Gabby shouted,
cupping her hands around her mouth, as she hurled the coiled rope upward with all her might.
Gabby, standing on the ground, was too far from the floor where Magnus was. She had to throw several times before she finally
managed to get the rope up to him.
Magnus caught the rope and quickly secured it around the sturdy pipes outside the shopping mall. He then turned to Natalia and
said, "Honey, do you think you can slide down with me?"
Natalia nodded. "As long as I''m with you, what does it matter where we go?"
“Alright! Let''s move!" The smoke from inside the mall was creeping closer, and Magnus had no time left to think. He tied the rope
securely around his waist and then, holding his heavily pregnant wife Natalia, squeezed out through the window.
The onlookers on Main Street had already gathered to watch the fire at the mall. Now, seeing Magnus emerge from the third floor
with Natalia''s prominent belly, they were abuzz with concern.
“Look up there, that guy''s carrying his pregnant wife!"
“My God, sliding down from that height is dangerous. If that rope snaps halfway, it''s no joke. That''s three lives at stake!"
“Exactly, buddy, take it easy. Be carefull"
"Yeah, slowly does it. No rush."
Amidst the crowd''s mor, Gabby remained calm. She turned to the crowd and called out, "Folks, that''s a couple up there, and
the wife is carrying an unborn child. Please, lend a hand to help them!"
“No problem, but how can we help?"
"Yeah, it''s so high up, we can''t just fly up there and bring them down."
“Even if we could fly, it won''t be easy with two adults."
The crowd voiced their concerns for Magnus and Natalia, but fora moment, no one could think of a viable way to help.
Gabby was not flustered. She waved her hands for attention. "Quiet, please! Can | say something? Any shop owners nearby,
please help out. Bring mattresses and nkets to cushion their fall just in case they plummet. Don''t worry, for any bedding you
provide, | promise topensate you tenfold after they''re safe.”
With Gabby''s assurance, the crowd quickly dispersed and returned with thick nkets and various cushions. In no time, they had
padded the area beneath the window.
In truth, Magnus and Natalia could havended safely with just the three strands of rope, but Magnus didn''t have the luxury of
time to ponder this. He secured the rope and prepared to slide down with Natalia in his arms.
Gabby yelled up to them, "Mr. Andersen, hurry down with Natalia. It''ll be dangerous if the fire spreads!"
Looking down, Magnus was impressed by Gabby''s resourcefulness in gathering so many cushions under such pressing
circumstances. Hugging Natalia tightly, he reassured her, "Darling, don''t look up or down, just stay in my arms. Are you scared?"
Natalia, trusting his embrace, shook her head. "Not at all. As long as I''m with you, I''m not afraid of anything."
Moved by her trust, Magnus held her close. "Hold on tight. We''re going down." With one hand securing Natalia and the other
guiding the rope, he began their descent.
Tense with effort, Magnus stepped against the brick facade of the building, creating a tense scene that left the onlookers holding
their breath.
One step, two steps, three steps... Slowly, Magnus and Natalia made their way down, getting closer to the ground with each
movement...
Until finally, they reached the pile of cushions, eliciting cheers from the crowd. "They''re safe! Thank God!"
Drenched in sweat from the tension, Magnus only rxed once he was sure they were on solid ground.
Gabby rushed over, "Mr. Andersen, Mrs. Andersen, are you both okay?"
Natalia was indeed nervous, but she hadn''t shown it earlier to keep Magnus focused. Now that they were safe, a hint of color
returned to her face.
Upon seeing Gabby, who had gathered so many cushions for them, Natalia gratefully said, "Thank you, Miss Gabby."
Gabby shrugged off the gratitude. "Mrs. Andersen, don''t mention it. | believe anyone in my ce would''ve done their best."
After making sure Natalia was unharmed, Magnus turned to Gabby with gratitude. "Thank you, Miss Gabby."
He meant it sincerely. From Gabby''s
actions and tense demeanor, he

Now that they were all safe, that was what mattered most. Gabby''s timely rope had been a lifesaver.
To Magnus’ thanks, Gabby responded with modesty, "Mr. Andersen, | was just doing my job. No need for thanks."N?velDrama.Org content rights.

Magnus watched Gabby handle the situation with such ease and generosity, mentally giving her kudos. It seemed he''d really
scored a top-notch assistant this time.
"Oh, and Gabby," Natalia turned back, her voice warm and friendly. "What a coincidence to find you here! Thank goodness you
were around, we would''ve been at a loss without you."
Gabby chuckled, "Oh, my cousin just
had a little bundle of joy, so | was
here hunting for the perfect gift for
the new baby. | spotted you and Mr.

would surely get you out safely."
