Coralie could see through the crowd that Valerie, who already had her hair cut short, was standing outside the railing on the roof. She stood there in thin clothes and her slender arms were hooked onto the railing; she was teetering on the edge of the building.
It appeared as though she would be blown off should a strong wind come.
When Skylar passed through the crowd and stood outside the circle, Valerie's originally dim eyes immediately lit up.
Looking past Skylar, she also caught a glimpse of Coralie and Lillian, behind him.
"Skylar, you're here. Come and give me a hug."
As she spoke, Valerie suddenly let go of the railings. She stood on the narrow platform outside the railings and opened her arms, leaning towards Skylar.
"Ahl-
Amelia saw what happened. Her vision went black, and she fainted.
She was really afraid that Valerie would fall down.
Valerie saw Amelia had fainted, but she did not react to it. Instead, she kept her arms open, waiting for Skylar to hug her.
Seeing this, the policeman nearby quickly said, "Go and hold her. You might be able to save her."
"Alright."
Skylar nodded.
He got closer to Valerie inch by inch until he reached the railing. He stretched out a hand to pull Valerie.
Unexpectedly, Valerie suddenly pulled Skylar back and said, "Skylar, Skylar, you're finally here. Do you know how long I've waited for you? Do you know how much I wanted to see you? I was so upset and sad. I thought you were ignoring me. Can you come and keep me company?"
Her voice was not loud, but everyone on the balcony was holding their breath, so they could hear what she said.
However, Coralie did not hear it.
Skylar looked outside and saw a 50 centimeter wide platform. It was not a problem to stand on it. After all, there were no protective measures. If something was to happen, he would definitely fall off.
"Alright."
As Skylar spoke, he also jumped across the railing to the narrow ledge.
He looked down and realized that the building was at least 100 to 200 meters high. From this point of view, the air cushion erected by the police was tiny.
It seemed as though it would require some skills to fall right onto the air cushion.
Seeing Skylar jump across the railing, both Coralie's and Lillian's hearts rose to their throats.
Although Lillian was concerned about Valerie, she was more concerned about Skylar!
That was her son. If something was to happen, she would have to be the one to send her son off.
Lillian pulled Coralie to the front of the crowd. Coralie followed her because she was concerned about Skylar.
When Valerie saw Coralie pass by, a hint of shrewdness glinted in her eyes. She looked at Skylar with a smile on her lips and suddenly raised one foot to reach outside the platform!
"Don't be rash!"
The police saw Valerie's actions and were so scared that they broke into a cold sweat. Skylar grabbed the railing with one hand and then held Valerie's waist with the other. He then instructed, "Go back."
He wanted to pull Valerie out, but she suddenly grabbed the railing and shook her head. "Kiss me."
In this narrow space, if she struggled, it was possible that the two of them would fall together.
Skylar didn't dare to do anything rash.
In the face of Valerie's unreasonable request, Skylar's expression was extremely grim. Although his hand was holding Valerie's waist, his face was turned away, and he had no intention of kissing her at all.
"Fine, I'll kiss you."
As she spoke, she stood on her tiptoes and put her hand around his neck to kiss him.
Skylar was taller than Valerie. He raised his head. But even when Valerie stood on her tiptoes, she still could not kiss Skylar's lips.
"Lower your head."
"That's enough. Go back quickly."
"Lower your head and let me kiss you."
At this time, Valerie was at a disadvantage. She clearly knew that it was impossible for her and Skylar, but still she wanted to provoke Coralie.
