Chapter 79 Chapter 79: "Rachel, let go!" Jeffrey's gaze locked onto hers, as if he could already see the strength draining from her.

"No." Rachel shook her head fiercely. "I won't let go! Never! If you die, then I won't live, either! No matter where you go, I'll follow. I should have protected you... This is all my fault." Jeffrey's vision blurred as fresh tears spilled down his face.

Jumping had been an impulse. A split-second decision.

But now, seeing his sister willing to throw her life away for him, he regretted it with everything in him.

She was good. TOO good. She deserved to live-to feel happiness. "I'm sorry." It was all he could say. All he could offer.

Rachel's strength was nearly gone. Her arms burned, her fingers numb, and her entire body trembled from exhaustion.

Her grip on the railing slipped-from five fingers to four. Then three.

Soon, there would be nothing left to hold on to.

Her eyes fluttered shut as the last of her strength drained away. Maybe... maybe death wasn't so bad. At least Jeffrey wouldn't be alone.

At least they'd be with their mother again.

"Jeffrey, I'm coming to join you!" A faint, peaceful smile curved her lips.

Then, she decided to let go.

"Rachel!" Trey and Samira screamed at the stime.

"Don't you dare let go, Rachel! You're not allowed to die without my permission!" With a strangled shout, Brian bolted toward her.

Rachel knew that voice. It sounded like Brian. Wasn't he supposed to be with Doris, tending to her injuries? How could he possibly be here? Was she hearing things? But it felt real. TOO real.

"Rachel, giveyour hand." His voice was steady, commanding-unshakable. Brian seized her hand, gripping it tightly, refusing to let go. Only when her fingers were securely locked in his grasp did he feel his heart start beating again.

When he had seen Rachel and Jeffrey plummet, his world had nearly shattered. He had bolted over. Thankfully, he had been fast enough. At the very last moment, he had caught her. If he hadn't... he didn't even want to imagine it.

Rachel blinked up at him, stunned.

But inside, she felt... nothing. Not relief. Not hope. Just emptiness.

"It doesn't matter anymore. Let go. I you down." The don't want to drag y content is on novelenglish.net!

Even if Brian had caught her, what did it change? She no longer had the vel strength to hold on to Jeffrey.

Brian knew exactly what she was thinking-what she cared about most. So he So he didn't waste a second.

"Rachel, listen to me. Jeffrey will be fine. I swear to you, he's going to live." But to Rachel, his words were almost laughable.
