Chapter 42
In the afternoon, they went to the canteen for lunch.
When everyone returned, they crowded this place and blocked completely.
“Oh my god, what should we do? Why does she seek death? What if she really jumps down?”
Ava and Wendy could not help but look up. There was a girl standing on the roof of the sixth floor of the teaching building.
Ava’s eyesight was extremely good. She saw’the girl’s death–seeking expression.
“This is Tilly Harper. She didn’t do well in the last exam and her dad hit her again. Her mom ran away and complained that her dad was a good–for–nothing. Her dad drank all day long and always abused her when he was drunk. Tilly probably can’t take it anymore.”
Someone ran to look for the teacher. Ava’s pupils constricted. She saw Tilly’s foot stretch forward.
“Ah!”
Someone screamed. It was too scary.
Would Tilly be able to survive if she jumped off the roof of the sixth floor?
At this time, the teachers were not in the office. They were either in the classroom, in the dormitory, or at home.
“Oh my god, what should we do?”
Wendy was about to say something to Ava when she saw Ava push through the crowd and run toward the teaching building.
What was Ava trying to do?
To rescue Tilly? It was too late!
Tilly was on the sixth floor after all.
No matter how fast Ava ran, she could not keep up.
“Ava!”
Wendy shouted and quickly followed Ava.
However, Ava ran very fast and did not look back.
Then, Wendy’s mouth dropped open in shock.
What was Ava doing?
Ava was actually climbing the wall.
Rosemont High School was a century–old school, and the buildings in the school have only been renovated and expanded on the original foundation.

This was still the old–fashioned building from before, which was why there was no elevator.
There was a long sewer pipe exposed. Ava tried it and was climbing up the pipe.
Ava’s movements were agile, and she rose quickly.
Wendy quickly covered her mouth to prevent herself from making a sound. Wendy was afraid of disturbing Ava and Tilly, Some people followed Wendy’s gaze and could not help but keep quiet out of shock.
Ava climbed up
The security guard at the door also rushed over after hearing the news and ran upstairs at the speed of a 100–meter sprint.
Downstairs, a teacher that some students called over was shouting through a loudspeaker, “Tilly, I know you’re in a difficult position. Just stand there and don’t move. Can you sit down? If you have anything to say, just tell us, okay? I can help you. We can all help you…
“Tilly, say something.”
Tilly, on the other hand, had a blank expression on her face.
Tilly didn’t speak. Her face was lifeless.
The teacher’s heart skipped a beat.
When a person was in a desperate situation and couldn’t even send out a cry for help, they were really done for.
The teacher took another step, walking on the edge.
The boarding students spontaneously took their quilts and spread them on the ground layer by layer, praying that if something bad really happened, these would serve as a buffer.
However, Tilly could not see or hear any of this.
Tilly had lost all hope.
Wendy stared at Ava.
Ava climbed to the top and jumped up. Ava bent down in Tilly’s direction and advanced quickly.
Sophia stood in the crowd. She did not see how Ava went up, but she saw Ava.
Was Ava trying to save Tilly?
Ava must be crazy to be in the limelight.
A vicious thought flashed across Sophia’s mind.
Since Tilly wanted to jump down, it would be best if she brought Ava down with her. If the two of them died together, everything would be over.
The others also saw Ava approaching Tilly.

Chapter 42
Someone made a shushing gesture, signaling everyone to be quiet and not disturb Tilly.
Someone exclaimed, “Isn’t this Ava? It’s the transfer student, Ava Reynolds. What is she trying to do?”
“How did she go up? The security guard at the door hasn’t even gone up yet!”
“Can she really save Tilly?”
Jay stood silently in the crowd.
When Sophia heard the discussions of others, the gloominess in her eyes became even more obvious.
Ava really wanted to be in the limelight.
The previous video didn’t ruin Ava’s reputation. Instead, it made Ava even more famous.
If Ava really stopped Tilly from seeking death this time, all people cared about would only be Ava.
Sophia took a step back. When no one was paying attention, she shouted, “Tilly, look behind you!”
Everyone was shocked. Who was shouting?
Tilly was shocked by the sudden shout.
Tilly looked back at Ava, but her feet slipped, and she felt weightless.
Tilly fell from the edge of the roof.
The timid ones had already closed their eyes in fear and did not dare to look again.
Someone made an ah sound.
Tilly fell just like that.
Was Tilly dead?
Would Tilly fall into pieces?
Oh God!
“Ah, Ava holds on Tilly’s hand! She did it!”
Someone couldn’t help but shout.
Sophia could not believe it. She looked like she had gone crazy.
How was this possible?
Just as Tilly was about to fall from shock, Ava actually pulled Tilly back.
This was different from what Sophia had expected.
Sophia originally thought that after Tilly fell, she would find someone to spread the news that Ava had acted on her own and insisted on getting close to Tilly, causing Tilly to be agitated and fall downstairs. At that time, Ava would no longer be able to

stay in Rosemont High School.
However, Sophia didn’t expect this.
Tilly’s body suddenly soared into the air. Her survival instincts took over.
Tilly seemed to have been possessed and suddenly came to her senses. A terrified expression appeared on her face.
Only at this moment did Tilly know that she did not want to die
Tilly looked at Ava.
Ava’s legs hooked directly over the railing. One of her hands hung over the railing while the other held Tilly.
Ava was so beautiful. She looked calm, and her face was flushed.
That made sense. It would be strange if Ava had a good time holding Tilly like this.
“You… Who are you? I don’t want to die.”
“If you don’t want to die, hold my hand tightly.”
Ava’s tone was cold.
Everyone came back to their senses and ran upstairs.
Ava was holding on. She was very strong, but at this moment, she had no place to borrow the strength. She was not confidens that she could throw Tilly up.
Moreover, if Ava did not control her strength well, Tilly would be injured when Ava threw her.
“Tilly, listen to me. Hold on tight. Don’t let go of my hand. Hold on a little longer. Someone will definitely help us.”
Tears streamed down Tilly’s face, and her eyes were blurry.
“If you can’t hold on, let go of my hand,” Tilly said.
“No! Someone will come.”
Ava was very certain.
How good was it to be alive? Only by being alive would there be hope.
