Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 118

Elspeth knew what it was like to lose a father, so she immediately rejected Nicholas’ idea.

“Let me stay behind. I can’t let you stay no matter what.” Blake looked at her and asked affectionately in a voice filled with reluctance, “You will remember me, right? I saved you twice.”

After punching him, Elspeth retorted, “What nonsense are you talking about? It’s not a matter of life and death yet. What if nothing happens?”

“Fine. I’ll zip.” He pouted. “No matter what, I’ll stay behind. I’ve made my decision, so none of you can stop

me.”

Noticing the situation, Nicholas sighed. “You’re such a good kid. If only this never happened.”

When Elspeth saw him sighing, she assured him. “It’s fine, Mr. Joneson. Let’s all calm down. What if the crane can take all five of us?”

The operator raised the crane again. After the Jonesons boarded the crane, Blake supported Elspeth and wanted to send her up the crane. However, she gave him a hard kick on the back.

Immediately, she ignored Blake’s shock and yelled at the people below, “We’re done!”

Hearing that voice, the operator started the crane’s engine and slowly moved away from the rollercoaster.

Blake anxiously wanted to get up but could not do so due to the shaking. ‘Elspeth, what are you doing? Elspeth!”

“Blake, how can I face Mr. Winthrop if something happens to you?” She waved at him. “Alright, then. Take care of yourself. Perhaps… I can’t be your manager anymore.”

Although her words sounded saddening, they were indeed words one would say during a life-and-death

situation.

She turned her head away and wiped the tears from the corner of her eye. Never would she have expected to die in a rollercoaster accident after numerous survivals.

Suddenly, the carts began shaking violently. Elspeth held on to the seatbelt and thought of something before quietly unfastening it.
