Chapter 442 Who Is Lady Linda
Chapter 442 Who Is Lady Linda
The bodyguards silently climbed to the top floor and slowly approached Emily Wang. Emily was sitting
alone on the roof, her eyes looking at the noisy crowd below. She didn't notice that someone was
behind her, approaching discreetly. Emily then closed her eyes, distressed. The thoughts in her mind
began to run wild. She really wanted to jump off now.
If she jumped off the building, she would be emancipated from the agony of life. She wouldn't need to
be tortured by any of her troubles any longer.
Linda's four bodyguards almost reached Emily. But suddenly, Emily seemed to have felt something
moving behind, so she turned her head around. When she saw the four bodyguards coming close,
Emily was shocked and hysterically shouted at them, "Don't come near me!"
"Young girl, life is so precious. Please don't be impulsive, and calm down. If you're going through
difficult times, please follow us, so you could go and have a talk with Lady Linda, " said Ron.
"Who is Lady Linda?" Emily asked as she gripped the edge of the rail tightly. One of her legs was
already hanging in the air. If she loosened her grip, she would fall down instantly.
"Come to me, and follow me down. Then, you will know who Lady Linda is."
"Don't come any close! Step backward. If you move one more step forward, I'll jump now, " yelled Emily
agitatedly. She wasn't convinced, and she didn't want to hear him out. She shook her head and moved
a step forward.
Her movement caused an uproar among the crowd on the ground floor.
Linda looked up. The girl was already in a dangerous state. She guessed that the girl must have
noticed her bodyguards.
Linda decided to go upstairs and persuade the girl herself.
"My Lady, don't go there. You are pregnant. It's dangerous, " Anna said as she pulled Linda's arms,
stopping her from going up.
"It doesn't matter. I just want to talk with her in person. It's not dangerous. Do you think she will drag
me down with her?" said Linda. She patted Anna's hands to reassure her.
Then, Linda climbed up the stairs. When Ron and the other bodyguards saw Linda, they moved aside
and greeted Linda with respect, "My Lady."
"Ms. Xia?" Emily was surprised.
"Emily Wang, why are you attempting suicide? If you have suffered any injustice, or have any difficulty,
just come down with me and tell me. I will surely help you out, " Linda persuaded her.
Emily shook her head, seemingly hurt inside, and said, "You can't help me. No one can help me. Only
death can end my pain."
"How do you know that I can't help you if you don't give me a chance? Life is full of hope. Ending your
life is never the way to solve any problem."
"Yes, it's the only way. I can't live. I want to die. It's the only thing I can do now."
Linda suddenly laughed and said, "Fine, since you are so determined, I won't stop you anymore. But I
have to tell you some common sense. If you jump off, you have to make sure that you hit your head on
the ground first, so that you can die at once. Otherwise, you will only be paralyzed. That will be much
more miserable. Understand?"
Emily didn't speak. Linda continued to say, "Aren't you scared of the horrible pains you will experience
if you don't die immediately? If your body hits the ground first... My god... Can you imagine how painful
it will be? What's more, the ground floor is cold, and it's made of hard concrete. Your body would be
badly mangled, far beyond recognition, and your blood would splash everywhere... It will be such a
horrible sight..."
Linda hadn't finished her words, but Emily had already started to tremble with fear. Emily had
goosebumps all over her body when she pictured the scene in her mind.
Linda knew that she had weakened Emily's resolve to commit suicide. Jumping off a building was such
a terrible thing to do. Linda wondered why a girl at such a young age wanted to do a stupid thing. Her
life was just beginning. There were still a lot of wonderful things in her life that she could devote herself
to. Why did she have to end her promising life at such a young age?
"Ron, please stay here, " Linda told Ron, and then she instructed the other three bodyguards, "All of
you, go down, and disperse the crowd downstairs."
Linda was worried that the people down there would say something radical to agitate Emily again, so
she asked the bodyguards to drive them away. She could be able to persuade Emily quietly and make
her talk about her frustrations. But, just in case, Linda also asked Ron to stay there to protect them.
Bun was still on her honeymoon with Brian and hadn't come back, yet. Linda needed Ron to protect her
now.
"What do you think? Do you still want to jump off now?" After the other three bodyguards had left, Linda
walked closer to Emily. Emily seemed to have calmed down a little, and she didn't refuse Linda's
approach.
"Ms. Xia, I don't know what I should do. I just think that I should end my life to stop everything, " said
Emily.
"What problems are you facing? Please tell me. I will try my best to help you, " Linda said as she
reached out to Emily's hands. Emily's hands were trembling, and they were so cold. Linda assumed
that Emily must have come across something very terrible in her life.
"I..." Emily hesitated.
"It's okay. You can tell me."
"..."
Emily opened her mouth and was about to tell Linda her story, but then, another man climbed up the
stairs and showed up at the entrance of the staircase. Linda looked back and saw Jerome Liu standing
there.
Jerome was gasping for air after having climbed up the stairs.
"Emily Wang, what happened? Why do you want to jump off the building and end your life? Come,
follow me, and tell me everything, " said Jerome. He went over and caught Emily's hands, trying to drag
her away.
But Linda slapped Jerome's hand and asked, "What are you doing? Don't touch her. You are a man,
and she is just a teenage girl. Mind your manners."
Jerome got angry when he heard Linda's words. It was this busybody again! He pushed his gold-
rimmed glasses up his nose and said in a furious voice, "What do you mean? She's a student in my NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
class. I am her head teacher. Was it wrong to care for my own student? Ms. Xia, can't you just mind
your own business?"
