THE RESCUER
"Veronica."
At that moment, she heard a soft voice.
Her body momentarily froze. She slowly turned around to see who it was.
Her heart trembled as she saw a familiar face.
"Ironin…" she called out his name. Her voice quivered.
"…" Ironin felt like something tugged his heartstrings.
Her pitiful voice was soft. He knew she was frightened.
"Come to me," he said in a low voice.
'Come to him? But how?'
Puzzled, Veronica lowered her head to check the distance between them.
Not only were they on the fourth floor, but they also had a three meters distance.
How was she supposed to jump over to him? She wasn't a ninja!
The height was enough to give her goosebumps.
Her eyes turned red as she glanced at Ironin. "…Ironin, I'm scared."
She was afraid if she jumped, he might not catch her on time.
What if she fell? What if she was injured?
She was too scared to think of anything else.
