Chapter 72 Jumping off the Building


    Chapter 72 Jumping off the Building


    Jacob wanted to touch her forehead, but Avery instinctively dodged it. "Mr. Hill, please respect


    yourself."


    "I just wanted to check if you still have a fever," Jacob exined.


    Avery smirked mockingly. "Mr. Hill, don''t you find yourself ridiculous? You bound me in the bathroom


    and drenched me with cold water. You''re not three years old. Don''t you know the consequences of your


    actions? Since you already knew I would catch a cold and have a fever, why are you pretending to be


    concerned now?"


    "I didn''t know you were so weak, nor did I know a fever for you would be life-threatening."


    Avery''s smile became broader. "Would it make any difference whether you knew or not? We''re already


    divorced, Mr. Hill, yet you still pretend to be a loving husband. You made me sick."


    Although Avery didn''t know why Ethan was on her bed, it wasn''t suitable for her to have prolonged


    contact with him, given her current situation.


    She regained her senses and slowly moved away from Ethan, who clung to her. She also uncovered


    the nket and pulled out the needle from her arm.


    Avery didn''t press the wound to stop the bleeding. A small amount of fresh blood flowed from the tiny


    wound. She didn''t even frown or spare it a second nce.


    "You..." Jacob was shocked.


    Avery struggled to stand up, her weak body trembling. Her gaze was cold and determined as she


    straightened her back and spoke, each word a stato, "Jacob Hill, you had an affair during our


    marriage and wanted a divorce. If you can''t let go of the anger from your sister''s death, take my life as


    After finishing her words, Avery leaped onto the balcony. Surprisingly, she was agile and climbed up


    like she had done it a hundred times before.


    The ward was on the seventh floor. After hopping off, she would be disabled from the fall, even if she


    wouldn''t die.


    Jacob never expected her to act so recklessly. "Calm down, Avy!"


    Avery was only wearing a thin nightgown barefoot. The cold wind yed havoc with the white curtains.


    Snowkes fell on her pale and lifeless face. Avery looked indifferent, her eyes devoid of any desire for


    life.


    "Jacob, you don''t know I''ve loved you for so many years. Since I first saw you, I couldn''t help but fall in


    love with you. Do you remember when you saved me from drowning? I thought, how wonderful it would


    be to be your wife."


    "Later, when we were finally together, those were the happiest days of my life. Every day, I was anxious


    because everything had been smooth for me since I was born. I was afraid God would take everything

    away from me one day."


    "I cautiously enjoyed your love, hoping it wouldst longer. But I never expected retribution toe so


    quickly. In just two years, I went from heaven to hell. Overnight, I lost everything."


    "At first, I couldn''t believe your betrayal. I thought it was just a dream, and once I woke up, you would


    return to me. But when I woke up, I saw you swimming towards La, abandoning me and our baby."


    "For a year, I tried to sort out everything and confront the reality. You''d already made up your mind, and


    the situation has already been determined. Everything was irreversible. I respected your choice."


    "I thought we would bepletely unrted after the divorce, living separate lives. But what have you


    done? You threatened me and even harmed those who were kind to me. I wonder if your feelings


    towards me are driven by love or hate."


    "But I know that as long as I am alive, we will be in an endless battle, like a knot that can never be


    untied. This kind of life is so fucking miserable. I''m already sick of it."


    "You know what? I used to be shiny like the sun, free like the wind. After I married you, I gave up my


    freedom. What did I get in return? You still betrayed me."


    Avery''s tears trickled down her cheeks. "I don''t me you for stopping loving me. I only me God''s


    n for separating us. If your sister''s death burdens your heart, I''ll give you my life in return. From now


    on, I will head for my own freedom. We''re even."


    She opened her arms like a butterfly and jumped out of the window.


    "Avy!" Jacob''s voice tore through the air, heart-wrenching.
