Chapter 575 âIf you like my daughter so much, then I trust you.â Despite saying this, Lydia didnât reach for Natalieâs hand. Instead, she cried with glassy eyes and seemed intent on staying where she was.
Taking off her coat, Natalie said, in a trembling voice, âThe wind is so strong up here. Are you cold? Here, take my coat.â
Suddenly, as Natalie was about to join Lydia on the edge of the roof, she heard a man shouting.
She turned around to see Brandonâs handsome face contorted with anger.
âNatalie!â Brandon stared at her in disbelief and said, âItâs dangerous out there. You could die! Please donât mess about.â
âI just want to save Lydia. I donât care about anything else.â Natalie pursed her lips before saying, in a serious tone, âCan you do me a favor? Please go and find her baby.â
âIâve sent people to search the hospital,â Brandon said in a low voice. âWeâll find her soon.â
The door to the rooftop then flew open, and Sean ran in breathlessly.
âThere were people pretending to be employees of the Larson Group that took away Lydiaâs baby.â
The veins on Brandonâs forehead popped out in anger. He cursed in a low voice, âFind them and then weâll deal with them in the severest way possible.â
âOkay, Iâll go and find them. Iâm on it now.â Sean, shocked by Brandonâs reaction, ran off in search of the suspect.
Natalie knew it definitely wasnât Brandon who had kidnapped the baby, but she also knew that Lydia was so agitated she could do something stupid and dangerous at any time.
If she really fell off the building, the consequences would be unimaginable.
If anything happened to Lydia, the Larson Group would never be proved innocent. Taking a deep breath, Natalie shook off Brandonâs hand and said, âItâs okay. Trust me. I can get her down safely.â
Natalie braced herself, and walked away from Brandon towards Lydia.
As she walked into the cold, piercing wind on the rooftop, it blew her hair behind her ears. She had to be careful. One stupid move could tip Lydia over the edge, hopefully not literally; Lydia was extremely nervous at the moment.
Natalie had never felt such fear as she did standing at the edge of the rooftop. She had always been a little afraid of heights. And this height would make anyb*ody feel dizzy.
Gritting her teeth, Natalie climbed to the edge of the roof and threw her coat around Lydia. Natalie tried to raise a smile, as she said, âCome on, weâll get down together, okay?â
Lydia didnât say anything, just shifted further along the edge.
Startled by her sudden movement, Natalie pleaded with her, âPlease, come down with me. Your baby will start crying again without her mother.â
âBaby... My baby... You have to bring my baby to me. If she canât find me, sheâll cry...â It was obvious to Natalie that Lydia was in a trance, she was just repeating things back and forth incoherently.
âIf you come down, then you can see your baby. Think about it. Itâs too dangerous to bring the baby up here to the rooftop. Besides, itâs freezing up here. What if she gets cold?â Rubbing her shoulders, Natalie shivered with cold, looking jealously at her coat wrapping Lydia up tight and warm.
Lydia nodded, agreeing with Natalie, who helped her to slowly walk back from the edge of the rooftop.
Everyone was relieved to see that Natalieâs comforting words seemed to have done the trick.
However, as Lydia began to step back to safety, she suddenly turned her head, looking down in a daze. She grabbed hold of Natalie urgently, saying, âNatalie, I can hear my baby calling me!â
Natalie couldnât hear anything. She knew that Lydia was imagining things.
âNo, the baby is in the hospital, indoors, not up here.â
Natalie forced a smile, hiding her fear. Again, she calmly tried to convince Lydia to step back from the edge.
Lydia couldnât help but keep looking down. Suddenly, she pushed Natalie away, running back to the edge of the rooftop, trying to jump down.
âMommy is coming, baby. Donât cry, please donât cry...â
Natalie fell to the ground. She tried to get to her feet in time to catch Lydia.
Lydia fell from the edge, her whole b*ody hung in the air. Natalie was clinging to just one of her hands, as Lydia carried on murmuring about her baby, i The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband ï¤Chatper 574 The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife (Joanna)
ï¤Chapter 1329 Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen ï¤Chapter 1187 Gritting her teeth, Natalie clung onto the rusty fence with her free hand and shouted to the rest of the people gathered there, âHelp! I canât do this on my own! I canât hold on for long.â
No one expected Lydia to jump off the building like that, so suddenly, after it looked like Natalie had talked her down. Everybody was frozen in place with shock.
Although Natalie had a hold of Lydia, it was only by one hand, and she did not have such a firm grip as she would like. She couldnât use her other hand to help, as Lydiaâs weight would pull her down with her. She could feel Lydiaâs fingers were slowly sliding between hers. Danger was imminent.
Brandon was the first to rush over and try desperately to pull Lydia up with Natalie.
Luckily, the nurses and doctors there reacted quickly, rushing up to help, and they all worked together helping Brandon and Natalie pull Lydia back up over the edge.
Eventually, they got her back up and Lydia was safe. ɳÏÊÒ½Ê ÏÈ¥.ÆÏɱ She huddled up in a corner, still wrapped in Natalieâs coat. She must have been terrified.
âItâs okay. Weâre safe now. Weâre safe.â Exhausted, Natalie was so focused on comforting Lydia that she hadnât even noticed she was shaking herself.
Lydia was still in a state of shock, and her teeth were chattering. She curled up in a ball, arms wrapped around her legs, and burst into tears.
Natalie was just about to lean in and comfort Lydia, when she heard the voice of baby crying. She looked towards the stairs.
