Chapter 274 Leila Catching Me Alone?
Sitting on the edge of the rooftop, Ethan froze as he heard Hazel’s voice.

He turned around, confused, like a guilty child, and saw her darkened face. He opened his mouth, but no words came out.
Hazel and Leo’s speed was also not slow, only a few minutes slower than Johnson.
At this moment, he stood about two meters away from Ethan, afraid to approach him for fear of upsetting him.
“Ethan, calm down. Getting angry won’t solve the problem.”
“Think about it, Leila. Think about us…”
Johnson continued to persuade him not to lose hope, but Hazel not only did not persuade Ethan, but also bypassed Johnson and sat down near the edge of the rooftop, only then starting to catch her breath from climbing the stairs.
The wind on the rooftop was strong, blowing her hair into a mess.
In the hurried voices of Johnson and Leo, Hazel’s gaze focused on Ethan, like two amber gems embedded between her pupils.
“Wanna jump? Come on, let’s jump together.”
“Leila happened to go back to Seattle with her father. According to the wealth of the Campbell family, she won’t have to worry about food and clothing in the future. Anyway, the child is young, so without her mother and uncle, she will cry for about ten days or a month. If we both jump together, we can also save some funeral expenses.”

you jump, The people present heard her words, and their mouths couldn’t help but twitch.
Forget about Ethan.
Johnson and Leo never expected that she would make such a move.
The key is that Hazel not only spoke, but she also directly executed.
After finishing speaking, the person sat on the edge of the rooftop, which made the onlookers‘ hearts pound with fear.
This is a building that was over ten floors high!
Even if her intention was to stop Ethan through this method, what if?
If she didn’t sit firmly, she would really fall down!
Johnson and Leo exchanged glances.
The former was looking after Ethan, while the latter was watching Hazel.
“Ms. Robinson, don’t be impulsive. Ethan would never abandon Leila. The child has always been attached to him. If she finds out that her uncle is gone, who knows what she might do.”
Johnson glanced at Ethan, giving him a hint to come down quickly.
Leo also persuaded.
But Ethan didn’t know whether his mind hadn’t switched on

or he hadn’t thought it through, and he just didn’t move.
Suddenly, he also followed and sat down at the edge of the rooftop.
Like a broken jar, it was shattered.
Johnson: “Forget it, we can’t persuade you two anyway, let Leila have two uncles again.” Leo also agreed, “It’s a good opportunity for the children to

“Who said I came here to seek death? I just came to see the traces of past experiences and, by the way, watch the sunrise here. You all have overwhelmed me with your reactions.”

Hazel and the other two gave him a look that said, “Do you believe us?” and continued to sit on the edge without moving.
In desperation, Ethan could only take a step back from the edge of the rooftop, but due to being still drunk, his footsteps momentarily wavered. Hazel’s heart raced, and Johnson, even more so, lunged forward, grabbing hold of him and rolling towards the inner side of the rooftop. They didn’t

Ethan, who was tightly held by Johnson, rolled on the ground for several rounds and almost got strangled by him. Leo quickly got up and hurried over to pull Hazel up, looking at the tiny spot she had just sat on, his heart almost stopped. Hazel hurriedly approached Ethan, all her emotions reached her lips and then held back.

Hazel released his wrist and tapped him on the forehead, with not much force.
“Ethan, you really have made progress!”
He rubbed his forehead that had been hit, groaning in pain, looking like it hurt a lot.
But Hazel’s face did not soften at all.
Her heart was still pounding, unable to calm down from the scene she had just witnessed of him sitting on the edge of the rooftop.
Ethan

Johnson, who was standing next to him, snorted coldly and angrily said, “You’re sitting on the edge to watch the sunrise? With such a big rooftop, it’s affecting your Dr. Jing’s enjoyment of the sunrise, isn’t it?”
Just now, he pushed open the door and saw that Ethan had already leaned forward.
If he hadn’t been a few minutes faster, maybe the person would have just free–fallen.
Ethan: “…”
Upon hearing Johnson’s words, Hazel’s hand immediately swung out.
“You went too far, sis, by hitting someone but not hitting their face!”
“I was an adult, and you beat me in front of them. I have no face left, do I?”
“Sister, please go easy, it hurts!”
Hazel couldn’t listen at all now.
Watching Ethan, who was running around with his head in his hands, she had a feeling of being a strict elder dealing with an unruly child at home.
Johnson and Leo were watching the show nearby, occasionally commenting that her strength in beating Ethan this time wasn’t as heavy as before, it seems she has become softer–hearted.
“Ms. Robinson, you still lack strength. How about we go back and have breakfast before continuing? If it doesn’t work, I can find a stick for you so that your hands won’t hurt.”
Ethan got angry and said, “Both of you, say less!”
He dodged Hazel’s kick as he spoke, sidestepping to the side.
Johnson glanced at him lightly and said, “I, insist, said!”
“Alright, alright, alright, you wait for me!”
The conversation was not over yet when Hazel swung her leg over.
Ethan pleaded urgently, “Oh sister, my dear sister, I really didn’t mean any harm. I just came to visit, please don’t hit me. I still have to video chat
with Leila later.”
A gust of wind blew over, causing her hair to become disheveled.
Hazel coldly snorted and continued, “Stop video chatting. It’s better for her to adapt to life without her uncle in advance, so she won’t even have

Ethan: “???”

mirror,
Leo sat in the passenger seat, operating a portable computer. The screen was filled with dense and constantly changing data, making it dizzying to look at.
Hazel sat in the back seat with her eyes closed, resting.
Ethan knew that he had truly scared Hazel and the others this time. While apologizing, he felt touched and warmed inside.
He tugged at her clothes and sighed, “Sis, could you please listen to me…”
Hazel pulled back her sleeve and still ignored him.
Ethan: “…”
We returned to the resort after rounding the last bend.
In the silent car, Hazel still had her eyes closed, her voice as light as a feather.
“If he doesn’t die and you can’t find peace, then we will bring him down.”
“What?” Ethan froze.
