“No…don‘t come here.” Meredith was standing close to the old corridor and could see the cracks on them and how the walkway was about to rumble.
“joe, don‘t come up, you‘ll fall to your death,” She urged, “you don‘t have to care about me, just leave.”
“Edith…” Josiah was feeling antsy and he did not know what to do.
He who had been through the ups and downs in the business world was suddenly faced with a challenge that he did not know the right solution to.
He was not afraid to die, but he was worried that if he died, he would not be able to save Meredith.

The pillar was close to the edge and just a slight movement and Meredith would fall over. Josiah fumed, “Ysabelle, get her inside!” Unbothered by his taunts, Ysabelle

Looking at the rope which was tearing little by little, Ysabelle nodded. “Good idea!”
She then turned to look at Josiah who was inching slowly across the walkway, smiled, and said, “Mister
Josiah, you‘ve only got a minute to save your wife from falling over and crashing against the hard cold floor.”
Josiah, who was entirely focused on where to put his foot next on the walkway, got
nervous upon hearing Ysabelle‘s words. Ysabelle laughed maniacally, “Josiah Shelby, Meredith Leighton! Are you both ready to die?” Before she left, Ysabelle gave a look to one

Josiah who had only crossed a third of the walkway immediately crouched down and waited for the walkway to stop shaking.
Feeling anxious, Meredith started crying, “Joe! It‘s too dangerous! Go back!”
Josiah lifted his head to look at her.
Under the night sky, his gaze looked determined yet gently. “Don‘t cry, Edith, and try to stay still. We can‘t let the rope break! “I will save you, so be good and wait for me.”
