Chapter 214 Identity Exposed, Mrs. Kingsley of the Kingsley Family!
"John, are you nuts? We're on the 25th floor! We'll die if we jump!"
"Calm down! You're young with endless possibilities. Work hard, and you can achieve your dreams. But if you give up now, you'll have nothing!"
"No way! I'm just a lowly internist. I'll never afford a car like that or beat Zach. Don't worry; we'll be together soon."
"You're insane! I don't want to die!"
"Someone's going to jump!"
Suddenly, someone below screamed, and chaos erupted.
Brooklyn took a deep breath, feeling like John was squeezing the life out of her.
"Dr. Davis, there's still hope if you let go now. When the police arrive, you'll face kidnapping and murder charges. Let go, and I won't hold you responsible."
"I won't let go! I've had enough for three years! Every day I admire you, but I can't confess. Who are you? You're Brooklyn, the star doctor of Aucester Hospital. Everything about you makes me feel inferior, but not anymore. I won't feel inferior anymore!"
By now, dozens of people had gathered below, including doctors and nurses from the hospital.
"Dr. Mitchell, what's going on?!"
"Dr. Davis! What are you doing?!"
"Quick! Call the police!"
A few minutes later, police cars arrived, gathering below the main hospital building. The police used megaphones, shouting at John to let go.
Brooklyn realized the shouting was useless.
She felt incredibly unlucky lately.
John suddenly said with a sinister smile, "Brooklyn, look, so many people are here to witness us. Are you happy?"
She wasn't happy at all; she even wanted to hit John.
The worst part was the reporters arriving, which was even more terrifying than jumping off the building; their mouths were like machine guns, making it impossible to explain.
Brooklyn held back, "John, can we go down?"
"Brooklyn, don't mess around. Come with me."
Her eyes widened, her mind in turmoil. The wind blew strong, sweat covering her back. 'What to do? John is now ready to die.'
She didn't move, and John suddenly pulled something out from his white coat pocket.
A scalpel!
He pressed the cold blade against her neck. It could easily slice her open with just a slight move.
"Be good and come with me."
He tightened his grip around her waist with one hand, while the other hand held the knife to her throat.
Brooklyn didn't dare to move, following John step by step to the edge of the railing.
With the wind messing up her hair, she tried to stay calm. "Dr. Davis, what do you like about me? I'm just an ordinary married woman.."
"I don't believe you. Do you think lying to me now will work?"
Brooklyn closed her eyes. John was out of his mind; reasoning wouldn't work.
"Dr. Mitchell!"
Suddenly, Zach's voice called out from below. He had just finished surgery, still in his green scrubs while shouting anxiously, "Don't be afraid, I'll save you!"
"If anyone comes closer, I'll kill her first before jumping!"
Zach spread his hands, trying to calm John down. "Dr. Davis, let go first. Whatever you want, I can give you money. Just name your price."
While Zach was negotiating, the police had secretly made their way to the rooftop, ready to act.
Meanwhile, in MBK Group's president's office.
"Boss, something happened! Mrs. Kingsley has been taken hostage at the hospital!"
"What!"
"It's her colleague who wants to jump. They're on the rooftop now!"
Sebastian threw down his gold pen, grabbed his car keys, and rushed downstairs.
His car ran three red lights, taking just ten minutes to get to the hospital.
When the reporters saw Sebastian's car, their cameras instantly shifted from the rooftop to his face. The internal incident at the hospital had even alarmed MBK Group's president!
In an instant, rumors about Brooklyn and Sebastian resurfaced, the speculation growing even wilder.
Brooklyn saw Sebastian's car, her face turning pale. The panic of being held hostage was suddenly replaced by a deeper fear. The reporters were here, Sebastian was here, and she was here. How would this end today?
Sebastian snatched the megaphone from the police. "Let her go!"
With a fierce, grim, and determined tone, he seemed to use all his strength and anger to tear John apart with his voice.
John's face changed when he saw Sebastian, tightening his grip on Brooklyn's neck. "It's none of your business, so get lost!"
'Damn, does he want to die, telling Sebastian to get lost?'
Dario's car arrived shortly after, having been left behind from the start. Sebastian's driving was too aggressive!
Sebastian gripped the megaphone tightly. The reporters and Zach was there, but he knew exactly what he was doing. He looked up at the slender figure, swaying heavily by the wind on the rooftop.
He had almost lost her once; this time, he wouldn't allow any accidents.
"She is my wife, Mrs. Kingsley of the Kingsley family! Do you think it's none of my business?"
