354 Chapter 353
Victoria watched this with joy.
If Rebecca fell, she would certainly die. By then, Clance would have one less rich young lady competing with her for Lewis Horton.
"Keera" would then be blad for not saving Rebecca, for she had added to Rebecca's distress and suicide, leaving the Allen family with a grudge against "Keera".
It was like killing two birds with one stone!
With delight, she looked ahead, only to see soone darting forward, desperately grabbing Rebecca's arm.
Rebecca herself was swaying precariously in midair.
Keira was lying on the ground, her upper body almost suspended in the air as she clutched Rebecca's wrist for dear life.
When Keira seed about to fall together with Rebecca, Frankie and Ellis arrived. They hurriedly seized her legs.
Only then, with the three of them together, were they able to barely keep Rebecca from falling!
Rebecca looked up, showing a hint of terror on her face.
Staring at the girl who was tightly gripping her hand, Rebecca's mind flashed back to the light that had glimred in the hospital years ago, when she was nearly tortured to death by her husband and mother-in-law. She rembered the light from the girl who had made that phone call to her brother.
Her vision blurred as the two figures gradually rged.
But the next mont, she snapped back to reality, crying, "You're not Miss Keira! Why do I see her shadow in you again? Keira, I'm sorry... There has to be at least one person in this world who rembers you..."
Keira felt she had reached her physical limit.
She heard Rebecca's cries and, in desperation, scolded, "Stop spouting nonsense! Co back to us! I'm Keira, Rebecca. I want you to live. Otherwise, why did I bother saving you in the hospital before?!"
Rebecca was montarily stunned.
But then she shook her head. "The mole by your eye is drawn on... I don't believe you. Let go, even if you pull up, if I want to die, there are countless ways."
She closed her eyes. "If you save , I'll only hate you. I don't want to owe you or anyone else anything." Only by not owing anything to Keera could she justify continuing to hate her.
Otherwise, she would be betraying Keira!
Seeing her being so extre and obstinate, Keira sighed quietly.
From behind her, Frankie shouted, "Miss South, don't listen to her. If you can save Rebecca, you'll be the Allen family's savior. Please don't let go!"
Hearing Frankie call her "Miss South" made Rebecca's emotions escalate further. She struggled, trying to push Keira's grip away.
She even dug her long nails into Keira's flesh.
But Keira felt no pain, even as her body still hung in midair during this life-or-death mont, with the people below looking as tiny as ants.
She knew the terrible consequences of falling from this height.
In such circumstances, the body would automatically block out the sensation of pain and release more dopamine, fueling the instinct to survive.
All Keira could do was shout at Frankie. "Shut up!"
Knowing that explaining anything to Rebecca at this mont would be pointless, she simply yelled, "Pull up!"
Ellis and Frankie used all their forces, slowly pulling Keira back onto the rooftop.
It didn't take long for Keira to get there.
She clung to Rebecca's hand until Frankie released her and grabbed Rebecca from the side. Only then did Keira relax.
She felt as though her arms were no longer her own.
Plus, the friction between her skin and the ground made her chest sting, as streaks of blood appeared from the abrasion.
But she ignored the pain, anxious for a glimpse of Rebecca.
Rebecca was dragged onto the rooftop and lay on the ground. She seed lifeless as she looked up at the sky.
Her white bridesmaid's dress fluttered in the wind.
But her eyes lacked any sparkle.
Frankie looked at her, his eyes reddening with anger as he rebuked, "Rebecca! Is Keira the only person in your life? Have you forgotten you still have your parents? And you have ! If sothing really happened to you, what do you expect the three of us would do?!"
Upon hearing this, Rebecca just moved her eyeballs. "Frankie, three years ago, when I didn't listen to your advice and insisted on marrying that man and moving to Oceanion with him, you should have considered dead from that mont on..."
That sentence made Frankie speechless.
He suddenly understood what Rebecca ant...
If there were no Keira, the previous Rebecca, the pampered Rebecca, the Rebecca who was the precious daughter of the Allen family, would have long since died in that hospital incident in Oceanion.
So, the Rebecca who was alive now was no longer his sister, nor the daughter of their parents, but soone saved by Keira.
In her mind, there was only Keira, her savior.
Thinking of this, Frankie wanted to cry and to scold her...
But he couldn't scold her; he knew that his sister was just unwell.
She was suffering from depression.
The girl who might save his sister might never appear again...
Frankie suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of helplessness.
Even though he had saved his sister once, he couldn't save her every ti...
If there were any negligence on his part one day...
He clenched his fists tightly, not daring to think of the consequences.
Just then, Keira suddenly crawled to Rebecca's side, gazed at her, and said in a low scolding voice, "Rebecca, what nonsense are you talking about? I only made a phone call for you. The people who gave birth to you, raised you, and pampered you will always be your family! How can you devalue your own life for my sake?!"
Rebecca looked at her.
Thinking about how this woman had desperately tried to save her just monts ago...
If Frankie and Ellis hadn't arrived in ti and grabbed her legs, "Keera" might have fallen down with her.
Rebecca started to cry. "Keera, stop pretending. I don't need you to save ! How could you save ?! How am I supposed to face Miss Keira?!"
She covered her face, starting to cry in agony.
She owed "Keera" her life now. How could her life now belong solely and cleanly to Miss Keira?
When Keira heard this, she moved her sore arm, watched Rebecca cry uncontrollably, and took a deep breath. "I told you, I'm Keira."
Rebecca's crying paused at that mont, then she continued to sob and bellow. "Do you think I would believe that? The mole under your eye is drawn on! Stop pretending to be Miss Keira!"
By her side, Frankie also said, "Miss South, thank you for this rescue, but please stop agitating her..."
Keira lowered her gaze, then suddenly grabbed Rebecca's hand and forcefully pulled her up from the floor. "Co with !"
Rebecca was so frail that she was dragged away, and the two of them entered a restroom.
Keira pulled Rebecca straight inside, and then imdiately looked at her. "Makeup remover wipes, do you have any?"
Rebecca was montarily stunned at this request.
Keira then said, "If the mole is still there after I remove the makeup, can that prove I am Keira?"
Rebecca was dumbfounded.
She then blurted out. "Keera, what new trick are you playing now? I've told you. Don't think that by saving , I would put you on par with Miss Keira. You can never compare to her! You want to remove your makeup? Fine, here you go!"
This hotel was upscale, and the restroom there had makeup remover wipes.
Rebecca imdiately pulled out one and handed it to her.
Keira wiped the corner of her eye with it.
On the makeup remover wipe, there indeed appeared the black trace of an eyebrow pencil...
Rebecca scoffed. "See? Your mole is drawn on. You..."
But the words that followed were cut short as she looked up and saw Keira's face. Her speech ca to an abrupt halt!!
