Chapter 827 Tremble, Antonio!
"Sarah!" He quickly took the elevator up, but when he reached the high platform, the height below made his legs uncontrollably weak, and even his surgical wound started to hurt.
Antonio clutched his wound, and after a while, he softly said, "Sarah, please come over here, okay? Don't mess around."
Sarah turned to look at him, raising an eyebrow indifferently. "Why are you here? I was afraid you'd worry, so I didn't tell you."
She wasn't particularly surprised, nor did she show any emotion because of his arrival. Calmly, she said, "I'm about to have a baby, and I suddenly wanted to challenge this thrilling feeling. Do you want to try it too? My treat."
Antonio watched her standing in the wind, her hair flying, and his heart trembled.
"Sarah, if you really want to jump, I'll come with you after the baby is born, okay? You can jump as many times as you want then, but not now. It's too dangerous; your body can't handle it. Please come over, be good." He pleaded with her, his tone humble to the core.
Sarah remained unmoved, "This is my own business. I'll bear the risk myself. You said it yourself, it's my body, so why should I listen to you?"
Wasn't he like this before? He thought it was dangerous, so he acted on his own, hiding the truth from her "for her own good."
Antonio stood there in a daze, his clothes flapping in the high-altitude cold wind.
He suddenly understood that she wanted him to feel firsthand the anxiety and fear she experienced when he hid the truth about his health from her.
It must be said, this harsh tactic was very effective.
"Sarah." Antonio's face was full of regret and worry. Sincerely, he said, "I really know I was wrong. I won't lie to you again. Please come over, okay? Seeing you standing there, I'm scared."
Sarah stood there, with the abyss behind her, as if she could fall at any moment.
That feeling made him afraid to even breathe heavily.
He was even more terrified than when he knew his own life was in danger.
Sarah watched his expression closely, and his sudden realization made her very satisfied.
Only true empathy counted as an apology.
She pretended to be indifferent, shook her head, and sighed, "Look at you, your face is pale. Well, in that case, I'll come down with you first. If you get scared and fall ill later, wouldn't you blame me again?"
After speaking, she glanced at the staff nearby, signaling them to help her remove the safety gear.
Actually, this was all pre-arranged with the staff by Sarah.
Just kidding, she wouldn't dare to bungee jump!
Standing in such a high place pretending to be calm had already taken all her courage!
The purpose of doing this was, of course, to use the same method to make Antonio remember and never dare to deceive her about such serious matters again!
He had been apologizing before, but Sarah knew those were just superficial. He was afraid she would leave him, so he admitted to anything. For Antonio, admitting fault was just a way to win Sarah back, but it didn't mean he really thought his previous actions were wrong.
And in that case, if the same situation happened again, Antonio might do the same thing! That was not what Sarah wanted!
But after today's incident, she thought Antonio would have some real empathy!
Antonio felt relieved only when he saw her take off the safety harness and be led to the elevator door by the staff. He hugged her and kissed her forehead. "Sarah, please don't play such games again, okay? Let's not scare each other with such things anymore. I won't do it either. I really realize I was wrong. I'm sorry."
Sarah listened to his trembling voice and said nothing.
At that time, she suddenly discovered the truth and immediately had to send him into the operating room, watching him bleed profusely!
This was nothing compared to that!
Antonio, still shaken, held her hand as they got into the car and personally fastened her seatbelt. "Sarah, back to the hotel now? Didn't you say the food at the restaurant downstairs was delicious? How about we have lunch at the hotel?"
As long as Sarah didn't do anything dangerous again, anything was fine.
"No." Sarah looked ahead, "I don't want to go back to the hotel. There's another place I want to go."
Thinking of the scene on the bungee platform just now, Antonio still felt a bit scared and nervously asked, "Where do you want to go?"
"I'll give directions, you just drive."
"Okay."
At least this time he was with her. Sarah shouldn't do anything dangerous again. If it turned out to be another thrilling place, he'd think of something else then.
For now, comforting Sarah was the most important.
For the next half hour, Antonio held the steering wheel, following the directions from the passenger seat, never deviating.
Until the car stopped at the airport entrance, Antonio was a bit confused, "Sarah, why are we at the airport?"
For the first time today, Sarah smiled, gracefully got out of the car, and said, "What else can you do at the airport? Thank you, Antonio, for taking the time to bring me to the airport. Goodbye."
As she finished speaking, a few staff members from their hotel, dressed in uniforms, approached with Sarah's luggage.
"Ms. Miller, here is the luggage you requested the hotel to deliver. We hope you choose our hotel again next time. Have a pleasant journey."
Sarah reached out to take it, smiling sweetly, "Thank you. Traveling alone is really inconvenient. Thanks for your excellent service."
Antonio was silent.
Was he just a driver who only realized what was happening at the end?
Sarah had clearly planned this with the hotel staff long ago; otherwise, her schedule wouldn't have been so perfectly coordinated today!
He hadn't even figured out how to comfort Sarah, and she was already walking inside with her luggage.
Antonio was startled and quickly parked the car to chase after her.
Sarah quickly got her ticket and was about to go through security when her suitcase was pulled from behind. "Sarah, I'll go with you. Don't leave me!"
She turned around, pretending to be earnest, "But your luggage is still at the hotel, and you didn't bring your documents, right? Oh, and did you buy a ticket? When I bought mine, there was only one left. Besides, your body hasn't fully recovered. It's better to stay in Luminara for a few more days. I'm doing this for your own good. I hope you understand my good intentions, okay?"
Antonio was silent.
He never wanted to hear "for your own good" again!
Sarah ignored him and walked away.
"Sarah, can you wait for me? I'll have the hotel send my luggage over now. You can reschedule for the next flight, and I'll..." Antonio kept babbling behind her, but Sarah had already walked straight into security, where the security personnel stopped him, "Sir, please show your ticket."
He didn't have a ticket!
