My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 1404

She was very happy during her days spent with him. Very happy indeed, so much so that she did not realize that she, who did not fear death, was also capable of emotional attachment. However, all of this had been given to her by Jared...

As the wind hissed past her ears, her mind became flooded with memories and thoughts about Jared. She suddenly felt remorseful for lying to him. If she died, he would be devastated. Strangely enough, Nicole, who had always been strong, had tears streaming down her face before being carried away by the wind.

"Goodbye... Jared..." Just as she closed her eyes, waiting for death to arrive, she heard a scream in her ear.

"Nicole!" Nicole subconsciously darted her eyes to the side and saw Jared rushing toward the spot where she would fall. Just as she was about to crash, he suddenly opened his arms.

"No!" Nicole screamed, for she would rather die than to see him get hurt trying to save her.

However, unable to change the direction in which she was falling, she landed atop Jared, who managed to cushion her fall.

"Ugh!"

After she had heard a grunt, she heard a loud thud from below, whereupon there was another thud, and then a loud shriek.

"HELP! There is a dead person!"

"Someone just fell down the building!"

Pandemonium erupted around her at once. A large group of nurses and doctors rushed in, in a hurry. The entire place was filled with a cacophony of screams, chatters, and commands. And yet, in the midst of it all, Nicole could only hear Jared's weak voice.

"I... Caught you..." His voice was still deep and husky, but as he uttered the words, Nicole's heart began to ache, as though as it had been sliced open.
