Sylvia Ran's words made everyone present turn pale with shock.
"Charles, I never broke up with you back then, so technically, we never ended things!" Sylvia Ran continued, "But you married someone else behind my back! I don't care. As long as I love you, I can accept anything you do! I only ask you, for the sake of the wild love we once had, for the sake of you searching the world for me, just give me a chance! Today, give me your answer—yes or no!"
Charles looked at Cecilia Gu with a troubled expression.
Cecilia Gu still didn't turn around.
Charles sighed softly. Never mind, I'll explain later.
"Alright, I promise you! Can you come down first?" Charles replied gently, "If anything happens to you, a lot of people will be heartbroken."
"If something happens to me, will you be sad? Will you feel pain? Will you care?" Sylvia Ran looked at Charles with tearful eyes, full of hope. "Charles, tell me honestly, do you still care about me? Do you still love me?"
Charles could only nod helplessly and said, "Yes, I still care about you! So, can you come down? Please don't make me worry about you anymore, okay?"
Sylvia Ran finally nodded with tears in her eyes and said, "Alright, Charles, I promise you! As long as you care about me for one more day, I'll live for you for one more day! The day you stop caring about me, I'll leave this world without hesitation!"
Charles had said all he could for now; the most important thing was to get Sylvia Ran down safely!
He'd deal with the future when it came.
Charles could only nod.
Only then did Sylvia Ran smile and open her arms to Charles.
Charles rushed forward and scooped Sylvia Ran into his arms.
Sylvia Ran clung tightly to Charles's waist, nestled in his embrace, and said sweetly, "Charles, I knew you still loved me. I know you're only with Cecilia Gu for the child. Charles, you've suffered so much! I'll spend my whole life making it up to you!"
Seeing Sylvia Ran had been safely rescued, Cecilia Gu didn't want to listen anymore. She immediately said to the others, "Let's go."
As soon as Cecilia Gu took a step, everything went dark and her body staggered uncontrollably—
"Cecilia!"
"Cecilia!"
"Cecilia Gu!"
Rona Muir, Sophie Mo, and Max Mo all cried out in surprise at the same time.
Charles Yin spun around at the sound of their exclamations, only to see Cecilia Gu's body limp, collapsing against Max Mo.
Just as Charles was about to rush over, Sylvia Ran clung to him desperately, refusing to let go.
Cecilia felt all her strength drain away, her limbs powerless as she leaned on Max Mo, softly apologizing, "I'm sorry. This is my fault."
Just those seven simple words pierced the hearts of two people.
In that moment, Max Mo wanted nothing more than to blurt out: Cecilia, leave Charles Yin and come with me!
But he couldn't say it!
At this moment, Cecilia had only lowered her guard with Max Mo—she still didn't fully trust him.
He couldn't risk it!
Those seven words stabbed into Charles Yin's heart like a knife.
All he could do was watch as Cecilia, pale and trembling, relied on someone else's support just to stand—unable to go over and explain himself...
Cecilia, I'm sorry...
"Sorry, I don't think I can work today. I need to go home..." Cecilia said softly. "I'll stay at the Yun Family for a few days. Looks like I really need to rest."
After saying this, Cecilia struggled to stand up from Max Mo's support, but it was all in vain.
Charles could easily have sent Little A and the others to help Cecilia.
But this time, he didn't do it.
He knew Cecilia was angry. She needed to let it out.
At that moment, Sylvia Ran was still holding him tightly, and he had no right to blame Cecilia for anything...
"Sorry, Rona's a girl and she's in heels, and Sophie is pretty frail too. Max Mo, I really don't have the strength. Can I ask you to carry me out?" Cecilia said calmly.
The calmer Cecilia sounded, the more everyone ached for her.
