True Love Waits

Chapter 1094 Three's A Crowd

Melody screamed at Napier's rough manner. "Don't treat her like that, Napier!"

Her voice seemed to calm Napier down a little. He clenched his fists.

Evelyn stood up and straightened her clothes like nothing had happened. "Melody..." Tears welled in her eyes. "How long have we known each other?"

Melody smiled sweetly. "Twelve years, three months." She remembered the exact time. She'd had a lot of time to think. She was happy then, happy that she was young, healthy, and had a good friend in Evelyn.

"Yeah, we've known each other a long time. And you wanna go and leave me alone? You're the one who said you wanted to see me get married." Few people had seen Evelyn shed any tears at all. But she was unable to hold them back. She took a few deep breaths, and raised her head to hide it.

Melody stood up from the edge of the building, heedless of what the negotiator and the police were telling her. She stood there facing everyone. She stared at Evelyn intently and said, "But Evelyn, you'll get married one day, but I won't be there to see it. Besides, be honest: you don't want to take care of me anymore. If I die, I won't be a burden anymore."

"It's not like that! Melody, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that! You know I didn't mean that. I'm still here every day, right? You're not a burden, it's just hard to watch you in pain." If she could turn back time, Evelyn would change what she said. She would never utter those words again: "I don't care about you anymore."

Melody smiled palely. She walked on the edge of the roof carelessly. Everyone present was afraid she would fall off accidentally.

She didn't get how much danger she was in. "Don't take another step forward," she shouted at a firefighter. "Go away. I only want to talk to Evelyn."

Evelyn took a step forward and gently tried to calm her down. "I'm here. Melody, listen to me. Stay right there. I'll come get you, okay? Hey, look, if you come down from there, we can hang out. We'll go wherever you want!"

Melody lifted the long part of her dress and the wind caught it and did the rest. She was breathtaking. But she looked away, an expression of relief spreading over her face. "I won't be your problem anymore, Evelyn. I'm tired. It's been five years, and I just can't anymore."
