Chapter 199: A Kiss

(Elena Blackwood’s POV)

David looked at me, almost collapsing. “I know everything, Mother and Father are gone, and you are not my biological sister.”

His voice cracked with pain. “My sister wouldn’t abandon me…”

The words hit me like physical blows. David’s eyes were red with tears and betrayal.

I was stunned for a few seconds. Seeing him take a step back, his hand trembling on the railing, I desperately tried to salvage our relationship.

“David! I didn’t abandon you! No matter who I am, in my heart, you are my own brother!”

My voice broke with emotion. “Twenty years of companionship, growing up together, are you going to deny it all because of this?”

The wind whipped around us on the rooftop. David’s face was a mask of anguish and confusion.

“But Sophia said…” he murmured, still in shock.

I immediately seized the opportunity to discredit her. “I don’t know what Sophia told you, but can you really trust her words!”

My voice grew stronger with conviction. “You were in a coma for months, and Mother and Father’s accident

was related to her. I remember all of this!”

“So, I can’t let her go so easily!” I continued, my hands clenched into fists.

I approached him slowly, my voice filled with raw emotion. “I only have you as my brother, and the

Blackthorne family only has you!”

Tears streamed down my face. “Do you want to abandon me too?”

David remained unresponsive, his grip on the railing still tight. The silence stretched between us like a

chasm.

Suddenly, Firefighter Blake, secured by a safety rope, climbed up from the other side. He moved with practiced efficiency.

In one swift motion, he pulled David back to safety. They both fell to the ground with a heavy thud.
