In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 289

“Only family members are allowed into the building. Miss, please take a step back and don’t intervene in our procedures.” At that, the officer pushed me backward.

I nearly fell, but fortunately, someone supported me from behind.

“I’m Marcus, the son of the woman up there. Can I go up?” After Marcus helped me to a stable position, he then took out his identity card to show it to the officer.

After a glance, the officer responded, “Mr. White, go ahead.”

Marcus shot him an exceptionally cold look before he towed me into the building. Trailing behind him, we soon reached the top floor.

Outsiders were usually barred from entering these office buildings, especially the top floors; individuals were only allowed in if they had an employee’s card with them.

The top floor of this building was an open space with tall railings. Greeneries were planted everywhere, and there were even chairs, tables, and umbrellas. Evidently, this was a place meant for resting.

I did not know how Sharon had mustered the strength to get past the railing. She was standing on the short ledge that was only as wide as a palm, and her hands were holding onto the railing. Even from a distance away, I could see she had an exhausted look on her face.

The wind on the top floor was intense, and her body was swaying with it. If she were to pay less attention, she would have fallen off the building.

From this height, I was sure she would be unrecognizable if she were to fall.

It was terrifying to watch her stand by the ledge, and I vaguely realized the psychologist and rescue team were already on the top floor with us.

When Marcus brought me to the top floor, Sharon became even more agitated. With bloodshot eyes and a hoarse voice, she croaked, “Marc, I’m sorry.”

Tamping down the fear in his heart, he looked at Sharon with an ashen face. In a trembling voice, he uttered, “Mom, don’t be. I don’t blame you for anything. Come to us first. Let’s talk about whatever it is on your mind when we’re back home, all right?”

However, Sharon shook her head, her face pale from the cold. “Marc, live a good life after this. You’re the White family’s only son, and your father loves you. He didn’t have a child with Sally because he’s afraid you’ll have nothing after he’s gone. You have to keep living and have a family. Take care of the family. That way, your dad and I will rest in peace.”

She was telling him her last words.
