Chapter 437
Chapter 437
Coralie watched Skylar go upstairs and waited in the car.
However, after she waited for a while in the car, she saw the police allowing another car to pass
through. It was a taxi!
Not long after, she saw a familiar person getting out of the car... The plump figure wore a pink coat, but
under the coat was a pair of blue and white striped cotton trousers. It was an odd combination.
When Coralie saw the situation, she opened the door and got out of the car. She called out, "Auntie
Ford, why are you here?"
Lillian's condition had only just improved slightly. It was still difficult for her to walk, so why had she
come?
When the driver saw Coralie exit the car, he immediately went to stop her.
However, when he got out of the car and saw Lillian, who was not far away, he was also shocked.
"None of you answered the phone, so Valerie's mother called me!" Lillian looked at Coralie with slight
annoyance written on her face.
She looked up and saw that Valerie was standing at the top of the hospital. Her hands could not help
but tremble.
"Auntie Ford, it's dangerous here. Why don't you go back and have Skylar's driver send you back?"
Coralie wanted to stop Lillian.
She didn't know what was going on above, but she knew that if Lillian came, things would only become
worse.
"Go back? Why should I go back? To watch you all persuade Valerie to die?" Lillian demanded,
insisting on going to the inpatient wing. As she walked, she said, "You don't care about her, but I do!"
Others had told Lillian how terrible of a person Valerie was and all the evidence was in front of her
eyes.
However, in Lillian's heart, it was full of the kindness that Valerie had shown her. She had bought Lillian
gifts and treated her like her own mother.
In the past few years, Anthony hadn't been at home and Skylar was busy with work. It was Valerie who
would visit her from time to time. Now that Lillian knew that Valerie was in jail, she couldn't ignore the
fact that she had attempted suicide.
"Auntie Ford, Skylar has already gone up. You can rest assured that he will persuade Valerie. She will
be fine."
"No! I'll go up on my own!"
How could Lillian be at ease with Skylar? In Lillian's opinion, Skylar was eager for Valerie to die..
At this moment, there was no way that she wasn't worried about Skylar.
At this time, because their phones were connected, Skylar also heard that Lillian was going up, so he
said to Coralie through the phone, "Don't stop her. Let her come up."
With earphones in her ears, she could only agree after listening to Skylar's words.
However, when she looked at Lillian's trembling figure, she felt really worried, so she could only guide
her to the elevator.
"Don't come up. You just need to take her to the elevator."
Skylar listened to what was going on down there and instructed Coralie.
However, when Coralie pressed the elevator button for Lillian and the elevator door opened, Lillian
dragged Coralie into the elevator. "You come in with me too."
Coralie was a little hesitant. Skylar had just told her not to go up.
"What are you afraid of? You are just pregnant. Valerie is going to die."
Lillian had always sided with Valerie.
She gripped onto Coralie's hands tightly, so Coralie had no choice but to follow her up.
When the elevator reached the top floor, they still needed to take a flight of stairs to get to the roof. The
police had already blocked the stairway, and regular people could not pass through.
When Lillian walked to the door, she was stopped by the police as expected. The police officer asked,
"Who are you?"
"I am Valerie's god-mother!"
When the officer had questioned her, Lillian had wanted to say that she was her mother-in-law, but she
merely addressed herself as her god-mother.
"God-mother? You can't enter either."
When the police heard her answer, he was bewildered. She wasn't even her blood mother!
"Officer, I'm not lying to you. I'm still hospitalized, but I came all the way here.
Look at what I'm wearing. If I'm not close to her, would I still come?"
While speaking, Lillian showed the officer her patient number on her trousers.
The police lowered his head and saw that Lillian really was wearing patient's trousers. She also
required help to walk, and it was clear that she was ill. He then explained, "The situation is very chaotic
up there. You'd better go back. We can't take responsibility if something goes wrong."
Upon hearing the police's words, Coralie hurriedly persuaded from the side, "Yes, Auntie Ford, please
leave it to Skylar."
"Be quiet! You all want Valerie to die, don't you?"
Lillian was anxious. She couldn't listen to anyone's words, especially when she heard Coralie's words.
She got even angrier.
Seeing this, Coralie immediately kept quiet.
The police stood unmoving too.
Lillian had no other choice. She sat on the ground and burst into tears on the spot. "Officer, please let
me in. It's my adopted daughter inside. If she dies, I won't live as well!"
At this time, the police had no one to consult. The other officers were busy with Valerie's situation at the
rooftop.
Lillian was old, and she was crying and causing a scene. She was also not well. If something bad
happened, he would not be able to bear the responsibility. So he could only make way for her and said,
"Go in. I don't care if anything happens."
Seeing the police step aside, Lillian quickly grabbed Coralie's hand and got up, dried her tears and
went to the rooftop without saying thank you.
The wind on the rooftop was very strong. Skylar was standing outside the circle of police officers and
hadn't entered yet.
He turned his head and saw that aside from Lillian, Coralie had also come up. His face immediately fell.
Skylar quickly walked towards the two and grabbed hold of Coralie. "Go down. Don't come up."
"No way!" Before Coralie could speak, Lillian said, "Valerie wants to commit suicide now. Why should
she go down?"
"That has nothing to do with this!"
"It does."
Lillian was dead set on not letting go of Coralie, so she tightened her grip around Coralie's arms.
Amelia saw that Lillian had arrived and Skylar was still not coming over. She approached them and
pulled Skylar saying, "President Holland, please quickly go and persuade Valerie. She said that she
won't come down unless she sees you. Furthermore, she's been standing there for so long. If she lets
go, she'll..."
"The police have already covered the ground with an air cushion below. She won't die if she falls."
Skylar stated matter-of-factly.
The police had laid the air cushion on the place where Valerie intended to jump off the building. As long
as she landed normally, she would not die.
"You! How can you say that! It's dangerous to fall down."
Amelia heard how irresponsible Skylar was being when he spoke. She was so angry that her eyes
turned red.
However, Coralie realized Hector was still not present.
From Hector's perspective, Valerie was an abandoned child. There was no need for him to care about
her at all.
"That's right, son. Go persuade her. I'm begging you."
Lillian also pleaded for mercy.
"Okay." Skylar glanced at Coralie and instructed, "You just stand here and don't go forward. Don't go
anywhere. Do you understand?"
"Yes, don't worry. I won't go anywhere. I won't move and I'll just stand here." Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Coralie knew she couldn't cause trouble for Skylar at this moment.
Seeing that she had agreed, Skylar released Coralie's hand. He turned around, walked through the
crowd and headed towards the railings of the roof, approaching Valerie.
