Chapter 77 Chapter 77: Only then did Yvonne understand everything.

Edmond had sent someone to follow them. It was no wonder Norton had bothered to give her a ride. He had even fastened the seatbelt for her.

It was all for show! "How sly," Norton muttered under his breath. Outsmarting Edmond had becone of his greatest amusements over the years.

"You're just like him, you know," Yvonne pointed out in a teasing tone. After shaking off the other car, Norton took a detour and got back on the main highway. He actually drove her all the way to Amberfield. This surprised Yvonne quite a bit.

Rachel had been following the police as they combed through the streets.

There was still no sign of Jeffrey, nor any news of his whereabouts. The longer tdragged on, the deeper her heart sank.

If she lost him, she would no longer have any reason to keep living.

Fortunately, God seemed to have taken pity on her.

Just when she was at her most desperate, Trey called. "Rachel," he said, his voice trembling with excitement, "I found Jeffrey! He's on the bridge." "I-I'll be right there!" Rachel was so overwhelmed with emotion that she could barely string her words together. She ended the call and rushed to the location Trey had indicated.

At that smoment, Ronald was driving as fast as the traffic rules would allow. Even so, Brian was urging him to go even faster.

"Step on it!" Brian barked from the passenger seat.

"We're already going as fast as we can," Ronald said helplessly. "Things could get dangerous if I push any further." ☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐ - more stories here Brian's expression was tense, his heart pounding inside his chest. He clicked his tongue before saying again, "Faster!" He knew if anything happened to Jeffrey, Rachel would hate him for the rest of her life. The mere thought of her hate-filled gaze had him gasping for air.

Rachel arrived at the bridge and immediately caught sight of Trey. After looking around, however, she didn't see her brother.

"Where's Jeffrey?" Trey silently raised his eyes. Following his gaze, Rachel tilted her head back. Her heart nearly stopped.

She took a deep breath and forced herself to stay calm. She couldn't cry. She couldn't lose control. Not yet.

High up on the bridge, Jeffrey was already halfway to the top.

Rachel couldn't make out his expression, what with the distance and the dim light of the dawn. She had no way of knowing what he might be feeling right then. Rachel called out, "Jeffrey! It's me, Rachel! I'm here! Please, cdown, okay?" Above, Jeffrey paused at the sound of her voice. The dam finally broke, and tears spilled from his eyes.

"I'm sorry, Rachel," he whispered into the wind. "It's all my fault. I shouldn't exist in this world. If it weren't for me, n. you wouldn't be so burdened." Rachel couldn't hear his words, of course.

All she could do was desperately persuade him to cdown. "Con, Jeffrey, please cdown! I can't live withoutyou. I'm begging you! I already lost Mom; I can't lose you, too! Please cdown, if only for my sake. Please! Don't you feel sorry for me?"
