The bodyguards silently climbed to the top floor and slowly approached Emily Wang. Emily was sitting alone on the roof, her eyes looking at the noisy crowd below. She didn't notice that someone was behind her, approaching discreetly. Emily then closed her eyes, distressed. The thoughts in her mind began to run wild. She really wanted to jump off now.
If she jumped off the building, she would be emancipated from the agony of life. She wouldn't need to be tortured by any of her troubles any longer.
Linda's four bodyguards almost reached Emily. But suddenly, Emily seemed to have felt something moving behind, so she turned her head around. When she saw the four bodyguards coming close, Emily was shocked and hysterically shouted at them, "Don't come near me!"
"Young girl, life is so precious. Please don't be impulsive, and calm down. If you're going through difficult times, please follow us, so you could go and have a talk with Lady Linda, " said Ron.
"Who is Lady Linda?" Emily asked as she gripped the edge of the rail tightly. One of her legs was already hanging in the air. If she loosened her grip, she would fall down instantly.
"Come to me, and follow me down. Then, you will know who Lady Linda is."
"Don't come any close! Step backward. If you move one more step forward, I'll jump now, " yelled Emily agitatedly. She wasn't convinced, and she didn't want to hear him out. She shook her head and moved a step forward.
Her movement caused an uproar among the crowd on the ground floor.
Linda looked up. The girl was already in a dangerous state. She guessed that the girl must have noticed her bodyguards.
Linda decided to go upstairs and persuade the girl herself.
"My Lady, don't go there. You are pregnant. It's dangerous, " Anna said as she pulled Linda's arms, stopping her from going up.
"It doesn't matter. I just want to talk with her in person. It's not dangerous. Do you think she will drag me down with her?" said Linda. She patted Anna's hands to reassure her.
Then, Linda climbed up the stairs. When Ron and the other bodyguards saw Linda, they moved aside and greeted Linda with respect, "My Lady."
"Ms. Xia?" Emily was surprised.
"Emily Wang, why are you attempting suicide? If you have suffered any injustice, or have any difficulty, just come down with me and tell me. I will surely help you out, " Linda persuaded her.
Emily shook her head, seemingly hurt inside, and said, "You can't help me. No one can help me. Only death can end my pain."
"How do you know that I can't help you if you don't give me a chance? Life is full of hope. Ending your life is never the way to solve any problem."
"Yes, it's the only way. I can't live. I want to die. It's the only thing I can do now."
