FreeNovelSusan could feel the icy chill radiating off Lysander, immediately realizing she had crossed a line. Even in her rage, she shouldn't have cursed Lysander with such a dark fate. It wasn't just about cursing him; it was about her own safety, too.

Everyone knows you were trapped under rubble three years ago and ended up in a coma. I just lost my temper and spoke without thinking." As she spoke, Susan was already dragging her child back toward the room. With air mattresses laid out below, even if she jumped with her child, it wouldn't threaten Joshua anymore. With a tough guy like Lysander around, she wasn't going to gain any advantages.
After coming to this realization, Susan decided to cdown with her child. Truth be told, sitting at the window, staring down, had scared her too.

After pulling the child to safety, Joshua held him tight. Ever since the accident, his health hadn't been the same, and pulling the child up took all his strength, leaving him gasping for breath. Looking up, he saw Susan glaring at him with resentment. Joshua quickly moved back with the child, his breathing uneven, and told Susan, "You should cdown too, it's too dangerous." Though he seemed concerned for Susan, his words were just for show. He moved back to the doorway with the little boy in his arms.
