Chapter 30

Sophie Lawrence tightly gripped her mobile phone. After a long silence, she slowly uttered a few words.

"I'll come to pick it up tomorrow morning."

After hanging up the phone, Sophie Lawrence was extremely nervous. Her thoughts drifted back to the pregnancy experience before her rebirth. At that time, she had already been pregnant before receiving the call from the medical clinic. Did that mean there was still hope now...

Healing Haven (the hospital).

Henry Mitchell received a call, being informed that the massage chair he had reserved for Mrs. Sang at the Massage Parlor last time had arrived and he could go to pick it up. Henry Mitchell glanced at his work schedule. Almost all of them were consecutive shifts, and he could hardly spare any time during the day. After pondering for a while, he submitted a leave application to his leader and planned to pick up the massage chair in the afternoon.

Three o'clock in the afternoon.

The Fire Brigade Station suddenly received an alarm: someone was about to jump from the rooftop of the Shopping Mall. Sophie Lawrence immediately led her teammates to set out for the rescue. The siren of the fire engine wailed through the Street, and soon, a large number of onlookers gathered below the mall.

Sophie Lawrence looked up at the rooftop and saw the person who wanted to jump standing on the edge of the rooftop, extremely agitated, stretching his hands and feet out of the rooftop from time to time, which elicited waves of exclamations from the onlookers downstairs. Sophie Lawrence couldn't help frowning and asked the mall manager, "What's the situation?"

The mall manager replied helplessly, "We don't know either. If it weren't for the cleaning lady finding that the door leading to the rooftop had been pried open, we would still be kept in the dark."

Sophie Lawrence immediately made a decisive decision: "Frank Richardson, Xiaoming, you two go to the rooftop first." She earnestly instructed, "Be sure to take safety precautions."

Then, Sophie Lawrence looked at the other teammates and said, "Raise the ladder."

However, just as the ladder had been raised a little, a fierce scream suddenly came from the rooftop. Sophie Lawrence quickly raised her hand to the teammate operating the ladder, signaling him to stop.

Immediately, Frank Richardson's voice came from the walkie - talkie on her chest: "Captain, this person is extremely agitated. He said that if the ladder is raised any further, he will jump directly."

Sophie Lawrence pursed her lips tightly and frowned deeply, quickly thinking of countermeasures in her mind. A few seconds later, she pointed to several teammates and said, "You guys go to set up the air cushion. Pay attention to set it up in a place where the person upstairs can't see. Move it to the front when it's done." Then she took a deep breath and said firmly, "I'll go up and have a look."

Roof Terrace of Shopping Mall (the rooftop of the shopping mall).

When Sophie Lawrence climbed onto the rooftop, she found that there were no railings around the edge of the rooftop at all, only a step less than half a meter above the ground. At this time, the man who wanted to jump was standing on this step, and below his feet was the terrifying seven - story - high abyss. Sophie Lawrence quickly scanned the area around the man and then looked at the situation under her own feet, and immediately had a plan in mind.

While Xiaoming was communicating with the man, Sophie Lawrence tied a safety rope around herself and rushed towards the man without hesitation, intending to drag him down from the step. Almost at the same time as she moved, Frank Richardson also reacted and rushed towards the man together with Sophie Lawrence.

Unexpectedly, the man had extremely good eyesight. Seeing Sophie Lawrence rushing towards him, he was about to turn around and jump immediately. At this critical moment, Sophie Lawrence suddenly grabbed the man's clothes and threw him back forcefully, but she herself lost control due to inertia and fell out of the step, falling towards the downstairs.

"Captain—!" Frank Richardson immediately exerted all his strength to tightly grip the safety rope on Sophie Lawrence, but it was still a step too late.

Instantly, a deafening chorus of exclamations rang out downstairs. Sophie Lawrence was falling downward at an extremely fast speed, and her cheeks were stinging from the howling wind. Once again, the sense of death flooded towards her like a tide.

On the street opposite the mall, Henry Mitchell and Chloe Morgan were attracted by the exclamations of the onlookers downstairs and involuntarily looked up. When Henry Mitchell saw that familiar firefighter uniform, he seemed to have his soul instantly sucked out, standing still on the spot, motionless.

Just a few seconds later, with a loud "bang", that familiar figure disappeared.
