Chapter 485 Mr. Zackary Fell from the Building

"Ethan!"

Zackary's face still wore a gloom as deep as water, but his heart was pounding so hard it almost burst out of his chest.

His fists were tightly clenched, his knuckles faintly turning white.

He knew that Ethan and Penelope didn't care about him, they didn't want him. Yet, he found that he was terrified of losing them.

Hearing Zackary's voice, Ethan slowly opened his eyes again. He didn't immediately jump down, but stared blankly in his direction downstairs.

Seeing that Ethan hadn't jumped down, Zackary breathed a slight sigh of relief, but his heart was still tightly strung.

"Ethan, if you dare to jump, I'll immediately have Penelope join you in death!"

Ethan's long eyelashes quivered slightly, he didn't want his mother to be buried with him.

He willingly went to his death, all for the sake of his mother's final days, so she could live better, without being threatened, without living in fear. He didn't want to harm his mother.

Seeing Ethan hesitate, Zackary didn't dare to delay. He quickly rushed into the entrance of the building and headed to the top floor at the fastest speed.

Ethan still stood at the very edge of the rooftop. If he lifted his foot again, took just one more step forward, everything would be irretrievable.

The rooftop was surrounded by quite a few bodyguards, but none of them dared to approach Ethan casually. Seeing Zackary coming up, they automatically made way for him. They were all anxiously waiting for their boss to coax the young master back.

"Ethan, come over here!"

Zackary reached out his hand, he really wanted to pull Ethan over, but he was worried that if he pushed him too hard, he might actually jump off. So, he could only maintain a distance of a few meters from him.

Hearing Zackary's voice, Ethan slowly turned his face.

In his hollow eyes, countless emotions gradually surfaced, so complex that they were simply impossible to capture.

Looking into Ethan's deep black eyes, Zackary's brows furrowed even more. He still didn't call him a stupid cripple, but instead spoke in a cold voice, "Ethan, stop seeking death and trouble, get over here!"

Ethan's lips moved slightly, he didn't make any sound, but Zackary could roughly read his lip movements.

He said.

You were a bad person.

After his lips gently moved, all the myriad emotions in Ethan's eyes vanished in an instant. The once sparkling eyes, always filled with a bright smile, were left with nothing but the desolation of a dried-up well.

Ethan knew that if he committed suicide by jumping off a building, his mother would definitely be devastated.

But even if it would upset mom, it was still better than having her being forced, stepped on, and brutally tormented by others.

During those years in the dungeon, the torment that mom had endured was already too much, really too much. He couldn't let mom be tormented by this villain for his sake anymore.

Ethan no longer looked at Zackary, he stiffly turned his face back again.

Watching Ethan's thin yet upright figure, Zackary's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly had a very bad premonition.

Sure enough, the next second, Ethan jumped down recklessly.

"Ethan!"

Zackary roared heartrendingly, chasing after the approaching Lola, feigning an appearance of extreme anxiety, crying out, "Ethan, don't!"

"Zackary!"

Lola truly believed that this time, Ethan was undoubtedly going to die. However, in the blink of an eye, she found that Zackary had already rushed to the edge of the rooftop, tightly grasping Ethan's hand.

At that moment, Ethan's entire body was already hanging below, and Zackary's body was almost suspended in the air.

It was only because he hooked his foot tightly around the extremely low iron railing on the edge of the roof, which was probably only a few centimeters high, that he and Ethan did not fall all the way down.

Although he had caught Ethan and they had not fallen, the situation was extremely dangerous at that moment. If Zackary lost his grip even slightly, both he and Ethan would fall!

"Zackary!"

Lola was completely stunned by the scene before her. Once she regained her senses, she frantically tried to pull Zackary up.

But back then, he only had his foot hooked on that circle of iron railing, trying to pull him up wasn't that easy.

Moreover, the strength in his feet was, after all, limited. He was struggling to hold on to the iron railing with his feet, even if he was alone, let alone the fact that he was also holding onto Ethan with his hands.

Lola was so anxious that she was almost in tears. She really, really wished Ethan was dead, but she was also afraid that something might happen to Zackary if he died.

If she absolutely had to make a choice, she would rather have her most despised Penelope and Ethan live to a ripe old age, than see Zackary suffer the slightest harm.

The servants and bodyguards on the rooftop and downstairs were also quite frightened by this scene. They didn't want anything to happen to Ethan and Zackary, but at this moment, the situation of Zackary and Ethan was indeed dangerous. For a while, they didn't dare to act rashly.

Ethan tilted his face upward, looking incredulously at Zackary who was gripping his hand tightly. He really hadn't expected that he would hold onto his hand so desperately.

Okay, so what about it?

Even if he saved him, let him survive, it was merely to use him as a threat against his mother.

He wouldn't give him a chance.

Ethan's eyelids drooped halfway, his small hand suddenly exerted force, as if trying to break free from Zackary's grip.

"Ethan!"

Zackary said coldly, he really didn't expect that at this point, this little brat still insisted on seeking death.

"Boss, hang in there! I definitely won't let anything happen to you and the young master!"

Samuel rushed over with several bodyguards, he forcefully grabbed Zackary's leg, trying to pull him and Ethan up.

But pulling him and Ethan up in this position was really difficult, especially when Ethan was trying to break free from Zackary's grip and continue to jump down.

At that moment, Zackary truly disregarded his own life and death, he only wanted to ensure Ethan's safety.

He wanted to quickly take Ethan up, but in his current position, with his legs and feet being held by Samuel and the bodyguard, and his hands tightly gripping Ethan, he simply couldn't exert any force properly at that moment.

Samuel and several bodyguards were lying on the edge of the rooftop. They exerted their strength together, but the effect was still minimal.

Ethan didn't try to break free from Zackary's grip anymore.

Zackary cast his gaze down to his face, only to find that his eyes were tightly closed, motionless.

Solemnly, he had already passed out.

"Ethan!"

Zackary knew that if things continued this way, Ethan would definitely not be able to bear it. Seeing Dylan rushing over, he tightly gripped Ethan's small hand, forcefully pushed back with his legs, and with all his strength, he turned around and fiercely threw him onto the rooftop.

"Big brother, catch him!"

In fact, Zackary couldn't directly throw Ethan onto the roof like this, but he knew how good Dylan's skills were. Moreover, the two brothers had always had a tacit understanding from childhood to adulthood. He believed that his elder brother would definitely be able to catch Ethan.

Sure enough, Dylan bent down and accurately grabbed Ethan, then quickly pulled him up to the rooftop.

However, Zackary suddenly exerted such force, the strength of his legs kicking out violently, that Samuel and the others couldn't hold onto him for a moment. His body, unable to be restrained, plummeted down the building.
