Chapter 749 Successful Rescue, Sebastian's Tragic End
Clio didn't want Sebastian to die.
But if she called the police now and they were rescued, all of Sebastian's revenge would fail. She couldn't imagine how devastated he would be.
However, if she let things continue like this, Dashiell wouldn't be able to hold on for long.
Sooner or later, Seraphina and Sebastian would fall!
Such a difficult decision.
"Call the police!" Dashiell said with great difficulty.
He knew very well that his strength was limited.
He didn't have the strength to pull both Seraphina and Sebastian up.
If he tried, Sebastian would definitely resist, and with his limited strength, their chances of survival would be even lower.
Clio bit her lip hard, tears streaming down her face.
Even if Sebastian hated her, she didn't care anymore.
Compared to Sebastian's death, nothing else mattered.
She quickly dialed 911.
Sebastian obviously saw it too.
He became agitated below, shaking Seraphina's body wildly.
Dashiell's hand slipped.
Because of Sebastian's resistance, he almost let go of Seraphina's hand.
Seraphina was also terrified.
Fortunately, in the next second, Dashiell's hand tightly grasped hers again.
Both Seraphina and Dashiell's palms were sweaty.
At this rate, Seraphina could easily slip from Dashiell's grasp.
Seraphina was still scared.
So scared that she didn't dare to say a word.
In fact, Dashiell didn't dare to speak much either.
He was afraid that if he spoke, he would lose strength, and Seraphina and Sebastian would really fall.
He used all his strength to hold onto Seraphina.
The wind on the rooftop blew against their bodies.
A few minutes passed, but it felt like a century.
Clio had called the police, but she didn't know how long it would take for them to arrive.
Seraphina suddenly felt warm liquid dripping onto her face and arm.
She looked down.
Blood.
Whose blood?
She looked up and saw blood dripping from Dashiell's arm.
"Dashiell," Seraphina called out to him with difficulty.
Dashiell pressed his lips tightly together.
The wound he had bandaged last night had torn open again due to the exertion.
"Dashiell, what's wrong? What's wrong?" Seraphina asked him anxiously.
Dashiell didn't answer.
In the next second.
A sharp sound.
Seraphina's body suddenly jolted downward.
She was startled to see the railing starting to deform, clearly unable to bear their weight.
This old building was already scheduled for demolition, and the public facilities were deteriorating.
If this continued.
No.
If this continued, all three of them would die.
"Dashiell, let go!" Seraphina shouted at him.
Dashiell could also feel that the railing's load-bearing capacity was insufficient.
He didn't let go but said to Clio, "Ask the police where they are!"
Clio quickly took out her phone and dialed again.
However, the railing's load-bearing capacity was weakening by the second.
It wouldn't last another minute.
One minute.
Even the fastest police response wouldn't make it in time.
Seraphina's tears flowed uncontrollably.
She didn't want Dashiell to die with her. She didn't want that. She said, "Let go, Dashiell, let go."
Dashiell endured.
"If I die, I die. You don't need to sacrifice your life."
Dashiell still didn't let go.
He could feel the railing collapsing bit by bit.
"Dashiell, I'm begging you, let go," Seraphina said desperately.
She really didn't want to drag Dashiell down with her.
She didn't want him to die.
"If I die, it's deserved. No matter what, my dad did leave Sebastian with nothing. Whatever retribution he deserves, he should get. But you don't need to sacrifice your life!" Seraphina said fiercely.
At that moment, it was clear that Dashiell's physical strength and the support of the railing were both failing.
"Dashiell, I'm begging you, let go... I'm begging you to let go..." Seraphina had already loosened her grip.
Their palms were already sweaty.
As she loosened her grip, his hold on her weakened.
Dashiell could feel Seraphina's body slipping downward.
Sebastian could also feel that he and Seraphina were falling.
He really wanted Seraphina to die.
He wanted her to die with him.
But.
In his mind, he saw the pure and cute image of Seraphina from when they were together.
She originally knew nothing.
She had done nothing wrong.
It was he who had caused her so much pain.
Actually, Atticus should be dead by now.
It's been so long.
Knowing Atticus, he would do anything for Seraphina.
Atticus knew very well that if he didn't die, Seraphina would surely die.
If Seraphina died, he wouldn't survive either.
So he would definitely do as Sebastian had said.
In this way.
He had avenged himself.
As for Seraphina, he had never really decided whether he would actually kill her.
Towards Seraphina, he wasn't that cold-hearted.
His emotions.
Made him waver.
He looked up.
Looked up at Dashiell's flushed face, blood flowing down his arm.
Dashiell probably still loved Seraphina.
As long as someone loved Seraphina, that was enough.
Just as he was about to let go.
He heard Dashiell say, "I'm sorry, Seraphina, I might not be able to hold on."
Seraphina nodded.
Nodded frantically.
It's okay.
If you can't hold on, let go.
If you can't hold on, let go quickly.
She never wanted Dashiell to die with her.
It wasn't worth it.
It really wasn't worth it.
She felt the strength in Dashiell's palm weakening.
The next second, the next second, she would be gone.
But in the next second.
She suddenly heard Sebastian's voice.
Heard Sebastian say, "Goodbye, Seraphina."
Goodbye, Seraphina.
That goodbye.
Was really a farewell.
She suddenly felt her ankle loosen.
Sebastian let go.
Let go.
At the same time.
Dashiell's other hand grabbed Seraphina's almost separated hand and pulled her up tightly.
With one less person's weight.
Dashiell gritted his teeth and used all his strength to pull Seraphina up.
The railing was also on the verge of collapse.
Seraphina hadn't been pulled up by Dashiell yet.
A loud noise.
Sounded below them.
Seraphina's eyes reddened.
She knew it was Sebastian.
It was the sound of Sebastian falling.
In the end, Sebastian let her go.
She clearly hated Sebastian.
Hated him for hurting her so much, hated him for making her go through things she never imagined in her life.
But facing Sebastian's death at that moment.
Still made her heart ache to the extreme.
After all, Sebastian was also a victim.
Seraphina's vision blurred with tears.
She looked at Dashiell in front of her, watching him use all his strength.
Finally pulling her up from the rooftop.
Before she could catch her breath.
Seraphina suddenly saw a figure jump down beside them!
