Chapter 484 Ethan Jumped off the Building

Such a large dose of pesticide didn't kill that stupid cripple, this time, she would make that stupid cripple willingly go to his death!

That stupid cripple being alive was, for her, also a ticking time bomb.

Zackary thought that he and Penelope didn't care about him, yet she was still so devoted to him. If he knew the truth, would there still be a place for her, Lola, in this world?!

She absolutely wouldn't let such a disadvantageous thing happen to her!

The wound on Lola's wrist really hurt. When the doctor disinfected it, he was especially careful, but she still winced in pain continuously.

The intense pain affected the performance of the malicious cells in her brain, and for a moment, she couldn't think of the best way to make Ethan disappear without anyone noticing.

She was thinking about waiting until her body didn't hurt so much before figuring out how to kill him, when she heard the panicked voice of the servant.

"Oh no! The young master was about to jump off the building!"

Lola's heart leapt with joy, but she still feigned a look of anxiety as she asked the servant, "What did you say? What happened to Ethan?"

"Ms. Hilliard, it's terrible! The young master went to the rooftop of the backyard at some point, oh! That's five stories high! If he jumps down..."

The servant didn't dare to continue speaking, but Lola knew what she wanted to say.

A five-story building, Ethan had just had his stomach pumped, plus the backyard was paved with a layer of hard bluestone flooring. If Ethan jumped down, there was only one way out - death!

Good that he is dead!

She was dead, so she didn't have to waste her energy anymore.

Penelope, too, had died of excessive grief!

Lola lifted her face, subconsciously glancing towards the direction of the stairway. She really hadn't expected that the foolish cripple could cause such a fuss. In such a short time, he had actually managed to quietly go to the backyard stairs from the back door.

How could Lola possibly miss the spectacle of the clumsy cripple falling to pieces!

The doctor had just finished treating her wounds when she grabbed her phone from a nearby table and hurried towards the backyard.

Actually, Lola wanted the servant not to call Zackary yet, waiting until that stupid cripple was completely dead before notifying her. But the servant had already called him, so she couldn't stop it.

When Lola went to the backyard, Ethan was already standing on the edge of the rooftop. The servants of the villa were nervously waiting below, fearing that he might really jump off.

"Young master, please hurry back! I beg you, can you please hurry back?"

The villa butler was so anxious that his tears were about to fall. Although he didn't particularly like Penelope, Ethan still had the blood of the Spencer family flowing in his veins. He was loyal to the Spencer family and naturally couldn't bear to see him fall to his death or injury.

"Young master, don't go any further! Falling down will hurt a lot!"

The other servants in the villa were frantic, some even went to the rooftop, but they dared not approach Ethan. They feared that if they got too close, he would be more determined to jump off the building.

"Young Master, even if you don't consider Mr. Zackary, you should think about Mrs. Spencer. She cares about you so much. If anything happened to you, how could she go on?"

"And there was Ms. Sullivan..."

"You were Ms. Sullivan's darling. If she knew you jumped off the building, she would definitely be heartbroken!"

"Young master, I beg you, please don't hurt yourself, alright?"

Upon hearing a servant mention Penelope, some semblance of focus finally returned to Ethan's vacant eyes.

He couldn't bear to make his mother upset.

But he was even more unwilling to let anyone use him to threaten his mother again.

Last time, Uncle Kemp used him to threaten mom, and mom risked her life to save him, she was seriously injured.

Originally, Xavier said, his mother's illness had a chance of being cured. But because of the injury she suffered, even he couldn't save her anymore. She didn't have many days left to live.

This time, he knew clearly, that person also wanted to use him to threaten his mother.

He didn't know what he wanted to use him for, what he wanted to coerce his mother into, but no matter what he wanted to do to his mother through him, he wouldn't let him succeed.

Actually, he was afraid of pain.

But he was more afraid of losing his beloved mother.

His mother didn't have much time left. If he jumped from the building now, he could go down and wait for her.

After his mother found him below, they would never be apart again.

Just like those days in the dungeon, even though life was tough, even though there was no daylight, as long as he had his mother's company, it was still the happiest and warmest time in his short life.

There was still a short distance to the edge of the rooftop. Ethan lifted his foot and continued to hobble forward.

Due to his physical disability, his walk was truly hard to watch, but his entire being was filled with determination.

Like an unyielding little warrior, he faced death with composure.

Finally, Ethan stood at the very edge of the rooftop.

He didn't jump down immediately, he was waiting for someone.

He was waiting for Zackary.

In the last moment of his life, he wanted to silently tell him that he intended to use him to threaten his mother, but he wouldn't let him succeed.

He wasn't strong enough to protect his mother, but he would still do his utmost to prevent others from bullying her casually.

"Young master, stop! Stop!"

"Young Master, I beg you, please don't go any further, I implore you!"

"Young master, Mr. Zackary is coming soon. He will be very sad if he sees you like this. Please, don't do anything foolish!"

The servants were running around in the yard, they had already called the police. Anything soft they could think of inside the villa, they had taken and thrown on the ground.

Zackary had just met Dylan outside Silverybay Estates a while ago, which delayed him for some time, and he didn't get far.

Upon receiving a call from the servant, he rushed back in a great hurry. As soon as he burst into the backyard, he saw Ethan standing on the edge of the rooftop.

In Ethan's deep black eyes, there was a dead silence. He was such a small child, at the most vibrant age, yet there was no sign of vitality in him. He seemed to have noticed Zackary's arrival, his eyebrows drooped, and his gaze slowly fell on him.

His lips didn't move at all, but Zackary just knew what he was saying to him.

He was telling him, "Don't even think about using me to threaten my mother."

On his small, frail body, there was a determination of burning one's boats.

"Mr. Zackary, what should we do! You can't let the young master jump down!"

Several maids were so anxious that they shed tears. A few of the older servants had watched Zackary grow up. Looking at Ethan standing on the rooftop, they seemed to see the once lonely and world-weary young Zack, and were instantly overwhelmed with tears of nostalgia.

"Zackary, Ethan wouldn't really jump, would he?"

Lola put on a worried look, even feigning to wipe away a tear, "Ethan, please don't do anything foolish, okay? Even if you were to bite me to death, I would be willing, I beg you, please don't hurt yourself, okay?"

Lola tightly gripped Zackary's arm, "Zackary, you have to think of something, you can't let Ethan jump down!"

On the rooftop, Ethan had already closed his eyes. He spread his arms, seemingly imagining himself as a small bird, ready to leap down.
