Chapter 1404
She was very happy during her days spent with him. Very happy indeed, so much so that she did not realize that
she, who did not fear death, was also capable of emotional attachment. However, all of this had been given to her
by Jared...
As the wind hissed past her ears, her mind became flooded with memories and thoughts about Jared. She suddenly
felt remorseful for lying to him. If she died, he would be devastated. Strangely enough, Nicole, who had always
been strong, had tears streaming down her face before being carried away by the wind.
"Goodbye... Jared..." Just as she closed her eyes, waiting for death to arrive, she heard a scream in her ear.
"Nicole!" Nicole subconsciously darted her eyes to the side and saw Jared rushing toward the spot where she would

"No!" Nicole screamed, for she would rather die than to see him get hurt trying to save her.
However, unable to change the direction in which she was falling, she landed atop Jared, who managed to cushion
her fall.
"Ugh!"
After she had heard a grunt, she heard a loud thud from below, whereupon there was another thud, and then a
loud shriek.
"HELP! There is a dead person!"
"Someone just fell down the building!"
Pandemonium erupted around her at once. A large group of nurses and doctors rushed in, in a hurry. The entire
place was filled with a cacophony of screams, chatters, and commands. And yet, in the midst of it all, Nicole could
only hear Jared's weak voice.
"I... Caught you..." His voice was still deep and husky, but as he uttered the words, Nicole's heart began to ache, as
though as it had been sliced open.
It must have been painful for him, as the entire weight of her body had landed on him at such a height.
She raised her head to look at Jared, whose face was already as pale as sheet. The corner of his lips had runnels of
blood seeping through, but he was still staring at her with a smile.
"You IDIOT... Why did you come back? Why... why did you even catch me!?"
'This damn fool! Does he not know that a person falling down from the seventh floor can actually squash those
below them!?' Nicole thought.
Looking at Nicole's red eyes, he noticed that it was actually the first time she had cried in front of him, and though
there was an excruciating pain in his chest, he mustered all of the strength left in him and lifted his hands to wipe

her tears away. "Don't cry..."
But his touch only made her tears flow uncontrollably...
"You idiot! Idiot!" Nicole yelled, not knowing what else to say.
She hastily got up from him to feel his pulse, panicking as she could not feel anything. Indeed, his pulse was very
weak, and he was barely alive anymore.
"Help, Help!" she yelled.
This was the first time in which Nicole had experience such severe panic. She had never experience this in the past,
not even when she had experience life-threatening injuries from her missions.
However, she was utterly terrified today. She was afraid of losing Jared and she feared that he would leave her.
The doctors then brought a stretcher, after which they placed Jared on top of it and rushed him into the hospital
building.
