Chapter 220
At the rooftop entrance, a policeman saw Yvette lying on the ground but could not spot the kidnapper
anywhere.
Yvette instinctively screamed for help. However, the kidnapper choked her throat before she could utter
a word.
A sharp pain came from her cut throat, clearing her fading consciousness.
She struggled harder, but she was no match for the kidnappers. Seeing the strap torn apart, a glimpse
of lace lingerie stained with blood was exposed.
She clung desperately to the kidnapper’s leg, trying to push him off the edge and end it all together.
Still, it did not work because her strength was insufficient.
The kidnapper sneered at the dying Yvette, dismissing her efforts. “Do you really think you can deal
with me? Dream on! Be obedient, and I’ll make it quick, hmm?”
With that, he attempted to tear her clothes off.
Yvette, however, bit down on the kidnapper’s leg, using every ounce of strength she had.
Soon, her mouth was filled with a nauseating taste of blood.
However, she did not release her grip. With a ferocious look, she seemed ready to bite off a piece of
flesh and would not relent until she got what she wanted.
The kidnapper, in pain, retaliated by kicking Yvette.
The pain almost made her let go, but with sheer determination, she persevered.
The police captain, upon seeing Yvette’s exposed leg and foot, noticed that something was amiss. He NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

deputy chief of the police, who was in charge of this rescue operation.
“Deputy chief, the kidnapper refuses to communicate. Yvette is struggling violently, and something bad
might happen. What should we do now?”
The deputy chief was located just below the rooftop.
He looked up to see Evan climb up the exterior wall glass and said, “Tell me their exact position on the
rooftop.”
“The kidnapper is on the south side of the top floor, near the second ventilation shaft.”
The police had access to the building’s blueprints, so his description could quickly pinpoint their
location.
“Update me on the current situation.”
“The kidnapper’s figure is blocked by the ventilation shaft. We can only deduce Ms. Yates‘ position
based on the placement of her feet. She appears to be lying on the ground and struggling violently.”
As he spoke, the police captain was deeply worried. He was afraid that Yvette might fall off the rooftop
during her struggles.
Although there was an air cushion below, the distance from the rooftop to the ground was over a
hundred feet, while the safety limit for the air cushion was fifty feet. The probability of an accident was
still considerable.
The deputy chief observed Evan, who had reached the rooftop’s edge, and his heart fell.
He said to the police captain on the other end of the phone, “Got it.”
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
The police captain did not know that the deputy chief had other plans. He stared at the phone, feeling
confused.

“Just… ‘got it? Not taking any action? Ignoring the hostage?”
If it were not for the fact that “follow orders” was engraved in his bones, he would have charged forward
to save the hostage.
Even though the chances of success were not high, it was better than just waiting there and doing
nothing at all.
However, he did not know that after the deputy chief hung up his phone, the latter used his walkie–
talkie to inform Evan of the kidnapper’s location and the situation on the rooftop.
He did not say much, but Evan understood the gravity of the situation.
He was less than two feet away from the kidnapper. One swift movement, and he could be on the
rooftop.
However, he did not impulsively rush to save Yvette. Instead, he used an extended pinhole camera to
survey the rooftop.
At that moment, Yvette, who had mustered her strength, let go of the kidnapper’s bloody leg and lay
helplessly on the rooftop’s edge.
Seeing that the other strap of her dress was about to be torn off, she closed her eyes, summoning the
last bit of her energy.
She wanted to roll off the rooftop before the kidnapper could succeed.
Evan, who was beneath her, confirmed the kidnapper’s precarious position and swiftly climbed up.
His long legs instantly swept the kidnapper’s injured leg.
When the distinct sound of bones cracking reached his ears, he quickly subdued the kidnapper.
However, an unexpected event occurred.
Just as Evan was attacking the kidnapper, Yvette, who had gathered enough strength, fell off the
rooftop.

The wind roared in her ears as she tried hard to keep her eyes open, wanting to take one last look at
the world.
She was surprised to find the man she had loved at first sight falling with her, extending his hand
toward her.
She smiled brightly, thinking, “Is this an illusion before my death? It turns out that the person I most
want to see isn’t my parents or friends but the man I’ve kept hidden deep inside my heart.”
Evan looked at Yvette’s bloody smile and said firmly, “Give me your hand!”
His commanding tone made Yvette subconsciously reach out her hand.
Just before hitting the air cushion, her hand was grasped by the man. It was warm and powerful.
In the next moment, everything spun around them.
She felt herself being turned around and falling into Evan’s embrace.
The two of them landed heavily on the air cushion, bouncing more than three feet into the air before
falling again.
After this turmoil, Yvette could not hold on any longer and fainted.
Evan, who had become a human cushion, was still injured due to the rapid descent despite his perfect
landing.
He endured the intense pain and handed Yvette over to the police, who rushed forward.
Then, he spat out a mouthful of blood and also lost. consciousness.
When Cecilia got the news, Yvette and Evan were being taken to the hospital.

It happened to be a hospital owned by Forte Group.
She contacted Solomon, Christopher’s assistant, to instruct the hospital to provide them with the best
treatment. If there were any developments, they were to report to her immediately. Solomon agreed
immediately and promptly arranged for a consultation with specialists.
Cecilia immediately called Fiona. “Fiona, Yvette has been rescued. She is being sent to Forte Group’s
hospital. Could you inform your parents to go to the hospital?”
Fiona, who had been anxiously waiting at home, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“Okay, I’ll inform my parents right away. Thank you for your help, Ceci.”
“This is what I should do. No need to thank me. How is your recovery going?”
“I’m recovering quite well. I’ll be able to walk on my own in a few more days.”
For Fiona, being able to reclaim her life was already a cause for great joy.
As for the injuries she sustained, she considered them as trials in this mortal world.
After talking briefly with Cecilia, she hung up the phone.
Then, she immediately informed her parents, who were also anxiously waiting at home, to go to the
hospital to take care of Yvette.
When Yvette’s parents arrived at the hospital, she and Evan had just been sent into the examination
room.
They waited for about half an hour before Yvette was pushed out of the examination room.

Selene immediately approached the doctor and asked, “How is my daughter?”
“Ms. Yates is fine. She lost a lot of blood and was frightened, but after receiving a blood transfusion and
calming medicine, she’ll be okay soon.”
“My daughter hasn’t been… harmed, right?”
Selene asked because Yvette’s dress was stained with blood and had a broken strap.
“No, she hasn’t been harmed.”
Hearing the doctor’s affirmative answer, Selene reassuredly
patted her heart. “Thank goodness. It was a false alarm.”
The doctor replied, “Yes. Luckily, when Ms. Yates fell, there was a police who jumped down to save
her. Otherwise, falling from such a height, even if she didn’t die, would cripple her.”
It was not an exaggeration by the doctor. Without landing correctly, there was no escaping death or
severe injury.
Even with the right landing, the impact could cause internal bleeding.
Justin hurriedly asked, “Who saved my daughter? Is he badly hurt? Can I meet him to express my
gratitude?”
Just as he finished speaking, Evan was pushed out of the examination room.
