Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce!
Chapter 439 Failing to Save You

"This is great. You're incredible!" Zach swung the captain of the bodyguards away and swirled about in anger.

After a while, he saw those bodyguards hanging their heads, disoriented. He yelled again, "What are you waiting for? Find a way to go down the mountain and save them."

"Yes, sir." Upon hearing Zach's order, the bodyguards hurriedly nodded and got scattered. They surveyed the terrain, trying to find a way down the cliff.

His eyes red, Zach took out his phone and called the rescue team.

Whether Mr. Flint was dead or not, Zach had to find him.

The man Zach was worried about was hanging from the cliff face.

He was holding Sydney. His other hand was grasping a tree trunk that was as thick as the wrist.

Halfway down the cliff, he spotted this small tree and instinctively grabbed its trunk, thus stopping the fall.

Unfortunately, the tree trunk was not thick and barely strong enough to bear his weight alone, not to mention two people.

The tree trunk had bent about 30 degrees and continued to bend down Presumably, it would break in a few minutes.

By then, Sydney and he would fall again.

Julien looked down at the bottomless abyss and then at the trembling tree trunk above. In the end, his eyes landed on the woman in his arms. Fear was written on her white face. In a gentle voice, he said," I'm sorry, Sydney. I came to your rescue, but in the end, I failed."

Sydney kept shaking her head.

It was not like that. He had saved her.

First, he was not the cause of her abduction. She was surprised and touched that he came to her rescue.

Second, Burton's plan was perfect. He abducted her to lure Layden here and kill him. No other parties were involved until the sudden appearance of Julien.

His appearance disrupted Burton's plan and caused it to fail. Both Layden and she survived.

Julien saved not only her but also Layden. He didn't have to apologize. Cayden and she were the ones who owed him thanks and apologies.

Above all, she was touched when Julien jumped the cliff to save her.

At that moment, she was dazed. Even the fear of falling down the steep slope abated a lot. Her mind was filled with the image of him following her to jump off.

She didn't know why he did that. Wasn't he afraid of death?

Didn't he know how dangerous it was?

He certainly knew.

From the beginning, she didn't see the slightest fear or regret on his face and in his eyes. She only saw intrepidity and determination.

He was still like that up to this moment. Many people were courageous to do something at first. Most of the time, it was an impulse and a knee-jerk reaction. Later, they would regret it. Julien was different. He didn't regret following her to jump off at all.

For a moment, Sydney felt a tingling sensation in her nose and had mixed feelings. The rims of her eyes reddened, and she tried to say something.

She wanted to tell him that he shouldn't have done this.

But Julien wouldn't understand it. He looked at her and said feebly, "I don't know what you're trying to say. I really want to tear off the tape for you, but I'm not able to do that." Sydney nodded in understanding.

He was holding her with one hand and grasping the tree trunk with his other hand.

Although no discomfort was shown on his face, she knew that he was suffering. His arm should be aching.

After all, it was holding the weight of two people.

She could see his red wrist, but the hand that grabbed the tree trunk was white. His wrist was red because he exerted so much strength that it caused congestion. His hand was white because the blood could not flow smoothly.

His hand and arm were trembling, which showed that he was reaching his limit. He could barely grasp the tree trunk.

Perhaps, he couldn't hold on till the tree trunk broke.

The fall would resume, and they would be reduced to pulp.

At that, Sydney lifted her head and looked seriously at the man. She wanted him to let go of her.

Then, he no longer had to bear the weight of two people. He could grab the tree trunk with both hands.

Most importantly, when she was gone, the tree trunk would rise instead of breaking soon.

Perhaps, he could hang in there till the people in the helicopter found and saved him.

She wanted him to live.

After all, the one abducted by Burton was her. The ones Burton wanted to kill were Layden and her. He got involved because of her.

He didn't deserve to die!

Perhaps the look in Sydney's eyes was too obvious. Julien was able to read it. The tenderness in his eyes was gone and replaced by displeasure and determination. "I won't let go."

Sydney's eyes widened, but only a muffled sound came out of her mouth.

"Are you crazy? If you don't let go of me, you'll die too!" She was trying to say.

Julien smiled and said, "I know. It's not bad to die with you."

He was insane!

Sydney blushed with anger.

Just then, a cracking sound came from above.

She froze and jerked up her head to take a look.

She saw the tree trunk gripped by Julien had cracked. Only the thickness of several centimeters remained intact.

It could support them for a dozen seconds at most.

Julien suddenly grunted in pain.

Sydney hurriedly looked at him. Beads of cold sweat were dripping down his pale face. Her panic was instant. "Mmm..." "What's wrong?" She was trying to ask.

Julien lifted his eyelids with difficulty and forced a faint smile. "I..."

Before he could finish his words, there came another cracking sound.

The tree trunk broke completely.

Julien let go of the tree trunk at the same moment, and his arm abnormally hung behind his back.

Sydney couldn't see it because Julien and she were falling together.

Julien suddenly pressed her head against his chest and said in a hoarse voice, "Don't be afraid and don't look."

Sydney didn't speak. She couldn't speak.

Instead, she closed her eyes, leaned against his chest, and listened to his rapid heartbeat. Somehow, her fear abated. She felt peaceful.

Everyone was afraid of death, and she was no exception.

The moment the tree trunk snapped, she groaned in her heart that death was imminent. To die this way was horrible. Even her body might be mutilated.

During the fall, the wind whistled in her ears, and her heart was thumping.

Surprisingly, she was no longer afraid.

Maybe it was because of Julien's words or someone was with her at the dying moment.

In short, it was not bad.

She just felt sorry for Julien.

He could have survived it. Although it was his choice, she still felt guilty for dragging him down.
