Chapter 476
As he got closer toward Meredith, Josiah could now see clearly that Meredith‘s rope was stretched thinner and thinner and that she could drop any minute.
Meredith was in just as dangerous a situation as he was. Ysabelle though had already left the building while laughing away manically, Meredith who was quivering in fear did not even dare to breathe hard. But even so, the rope tied around her broke in the end. Josiah had just crossed two–thirds of the walkway when he heard the rope breaking apart. He immediately looked toward Meredith.
“Edith!” Josiah cried out.
He then ran over to Meredith without even thinking.
“Joe” Meredith was falling over and her mind had gone blank.
She thought she would drop to the ground and her life would end just like that.
All of a sudden, she stopped falling. She opened her eyes abruptly to see Josiah grabbing onto her shirt‘s collar.
“Joe...” She thought that she was safe now but she soon realized that Josiah too was hanging mid–air. He had one hand holding onto the edge of the third floor and the other hand that was grabbing her collar.
“Edith, hurry up and jump inside.” Josiah was struggling to not let his grip on the edge slip.
Because there was nothing for him to hang on to and Josiah felt as if his fingers would easily slip off from the edge.
Meredith was just near the second floor but because she was frightened, she did not dare to take the jump
“Joe, I…”
“Don‘t be scared, I’ll protect you.” Josiah was gritting his teeth tightly but he still smiled at Meredith to encourage her.
