Ex-wife, Please Come Back novel Chapter 307

Some people dreamt of fame and success, while some only dreamt of happiness for the rest of their lives. In the end, people tended to get disappointed, and even mad at the world, when they realized that they had lived an unhappy life.

And when someone accumulated too much disappointment, it would become despair that could eventually push him over the edge, making him want to die.

Worry was evident in Jacob's eyes as he looked around the interior of the car. He felt warm in the small space.

They drove along the road until they finally found her on a bridge.

Jacob calmed himself down and got out of the car, followed by James.

From their positions, they could see Cindy standing on the viaduct, without holding on to the handrail. The wind was blowing, but it seemed like she didn't care even if she fell down.

On the contrary, the two men were afraid that she would fall. Therefore, Jacob cast a meaningful glance at James, who immediately got what he was trying to say.

With a nod, he walked aside to do what Jacob asked him to do.

Maybe it was because Cindy felt Jacob's gaze that she turned her head to him. When their eyes met, she nervously held on to the handrail.

"What's going on, Cindy? Get down. It's dangerous!" Although Jacob's voice wasn't loud, it was enough to reach Cindy's ears.

A faint smile appeared on her face as she looked at the onlookers.

"Mr. Jacob, let me be. I will take all the responsibility. It's my fault. It's all on me..." She didn't know how long she had cried; but now, Cindy was unusually calm. All she wanted was to see Jacob and apologize to him.

In that way, she could end everything peacefully.

"No. Think about your parents first. Think about your mother that gave birth to you and worked hard to raise you. I know you have lived a hard life, but what about them? Have they lived an easier life than you? How can you be so selfish? Why can't you just let it go?" Jacob roared, unable to stop himself anymore.

The people on the bridge who were watching the scene all respected Jacob, especially now that they felt his sincerity to save the woman from herself.

"I'm unfilial. I've always played a good daughter, but I know I'm not. Just like how I have worked very hard, but had been regarded as a disloyal employee in the end because of this matter. I know... It's all my fault. I can't blame anyone else."

As the two of them spoke, Jacob noticed that James had come back to his side.

"How's it going, uncle? Why hasn't the police come yet? She might jump down the bridge any moment now." Not wanting to let Cindy hear what they were talking about, Jacob lowered his voice.

"I've already talked to them. They are already on their way. They'll be here soon." They both knew that the situation was critical, but no one knew what was running on Cindy's mind.

It would only take a second for her to jump from the bridge, but she would lose her life forever.

After hearing everything that Cindy had said, James frowned. He just looked at her in a daze.

"Little girl, you still have a long way to go. Don't kill yourself just because of your problem. Look at me. I'm already old, but still single. Even so, I'm still living a good life, right?"

The words James said caused an uproar among the onlookers.

"I don't know. Cindy hasn't told me the whole story yet, so the case is at a stalement until now. We don't know what happened. For now, we have to stop Cindy from killing herself. If anything happens to her, our chance to find out who that man is will be gone."

Remembering the man they had to find, Jacob's face darkened. He looked at Cindy and asked in his mind, 'Was the man worth dying for?' Maybe it was not worth it, but Cindy couldn't listen to anyone now.

"Miss, please calm down. Death can't solve the problem. There's still a long way to go. You are still young. There are still many good things waiting for you..."

Through the megaphone, the policeman tried to persuade Cindy.

"I know, but there's no turning back now. I have to do this. As I've said, Mr. Jacob, I can bear it alone." Tears streamed down Cindy's cheeks. She looked down the bridge, as if she was getting ready to jump.

The crowd screamed, because the woman seemed to have made up her mind. In a hurry, Jacob thought of what he could do as he observed Cindy.

"Cindy, to be honest, I always think you are a capable person. You are strong and brave, but today, you've let me down."

Since everyone's persuasion was useless, Jacob decided to use reverse psychology, so he blamed Cindy on purpose.

"Mr. Jacob... I didn't mean to..." Cindy's voice broke, because she suddenly burst into tears. She had worked as an assistant for so long, but only Jacob was nice to her.

Honestly, Cindy wanted to cherish this job. She thought everything would be fine, but she didn't think she could still do it now.

After taking a deep breath, Jacob said, "I'm not blaming you. On the contrary, I think you are very honest and hardworking. So you shouldn't stand there. Do you understand?"
