I Died, and My Four Targets Lost Their Minds
Irving, too, looked at me with feigned surprise and said, "So you'd already called the firefighters ahead of time. No wonder you dared to jump down. I thought you were trying to kill me by pushing me off the rooftop. I guess you just wanted to scare me, huh?
"But don't you remember that you had some men beat me until my eardrum was perforated. If I really did fall from that height, I might've gone completely deaf."
Irving looked fearful and aggrieved. His eyes reddened as he looked at Natalia.
He went on, "I'm not afraid of dying. I just can't bear to leave you behind. Still, Lucian loves you very much. Even if I really died, he would probably take good care of you."
