Milly couldn’t believe him. This isn’t the point!

Anxiously, she pleaded. Jonathan, please hear me out. The wire is incredibly perilous. Could you come down so we can discuss this slowly? The situation is complex.”

Jonathan, upon hearing her, assumed it was her being nervous about the wire because she saw it for the first time. He flashed a reassuring smile. T okay. This setup is professional, no danger here.

“And the crew has checked it thoroughly. So, don’t worry, everything’s fine.”

Seeing his disbelief, Milly’s anxiety spiked. Persuading him to descend and abandon the stunt was her sole

recourse.

After all, she lacked the authority to halt another production’s operation.

Yet, Jonathan remained adamant, trusting in the stunt’s safety despite her protests.

What now!

Jonathan, please, this wire stunt is…

“Who are you? And who let you onto ser?”

Before Milly could respond, a furious voice cut her off.

Entering the scene was the film crew’s director, sporting a scruffy beard and an intimidating aura.

Concerned that the director might scare Milly, Jonathan swiftly intervened, “Director, she’s here to see me. Let her wait on the sidelines. I’ll take her away after filming.”

The director, with a disapproving glare, scrutinised Milly.

Thankfully, Milly seemed compliant, not reminiscent of untrustworthy media personnel. Jonathan’s endorsement eased the director’s scepticism, prompting him to remain silent.

However, he coldly emphasised, “Notify us in advance next time, no exceptions. Even if it’s your parents, I don’t want unfamiliar faces on set.”

“Of course, director,” said Jonathan quickly.

To maintain strict confidentiality during filming, everyone, regardles confidentiality agreement, ensuring no plot or costume details leaked.

of position, had to sign at

Visitors needed prior notification and director approval for entry onto the set.

Milly’s sudden arrival had bypassed this protocol.

However, the director was kind enough to bend the rules a little for him. He obviously wasn’t going to kick her out, much to Jonathan’s relief.

The director’s assistant, via megaphone, announced, “Is everyone ready? Let’s start filming the opening

scene.”

Chapter 139 Saving Jonathan

With the clapperboard snapping shut, the distant crane began its slow ascent.

Milly, tense with clenched fists and furrowed brows, watched with bated breath.

Here it goes again….

Is this the inevitable course? Despite her efforts, was failure predetermined?

No. She refused to accept that. There had to be a solution.

The wire rose steadily, higher and higher….

Meanwhile, Jonathan flawlessly executed his actions, delivering lines with calm assurance.

Everything seemed serene, yet Milly couldn’t shake her unease, silently pleading that her fears were baseless as she bit her lip.

One second went by.

Two seconds went by.

Three seconds went by.

It feels like an eternity here!

“Cut! Good take!” With the director’s enthusiastic call, the crew began lowering Jonathan, suspended mid-

air.

As Jonathan descended, Milly felt her heart gradually steady.

All seemed well. Had she misread the situation?

Then, a sudden shout shattered the calm, plunging them into chaos.

Milly’s heart, just settling, surged once more. She glanced up to see Jonathan suspended mid–air, his four support wires snapped, causing his body to tilt.

D*mmit, so fate arrives nonetheless.

The director, too, spotted the issue and swiftly called for rescue personnel. But time was running out, the rope teetering on the brink, rescue potentially too late.

Self–rescue became their only hope.

Anxiously, Milly stood below, recalling her past filming experiences. The wire, typically secured by four ropes, now hung precariously with only two intact. Could they support an adul

weight?

Then, a faint crack echoed in the air.

Another rope snapped.

The director wasted no time/deploying an air cushion for added safety.

Silent swooped in and grasped Milly for a moment. She continued, “If… if you can’t hold on, protect your head with both hands, curl up, aim to land on your side, and roll!”

In that precarious moment, Jonathan, hanging mid–air, should have been consumed by fear. Yet, miraculously, he found solace in her clear instructions.

Protect your head… Curl up… Land on your side….

His mind swiftly processed Milly’s instructions, his body primed for the impending impact.

Simultaneously, a faint crack echoed, and he felt himself hurtling downwards.

Recalling Milly’s advice, he swiftly followed her guidance.

With a thud, he hit the air cushion bed, but his landing was askew, teetering on the edge. Inertia propelled him upwards, perilously close to tumbling off.

Oh no!

The force was overwhelming, overpowering the nearby staff’s attempts to restrain him as he flew too high up into the air.

Just as he braced for impact, a figure hurtled towards him…

Another crack.

Two bodies collided with the ground.

For a moment, Milly’s vision darkened, then a surge of pain jolted her back to reality.

A crowd quickly gathered, voices clamouring with concern. “Are you alright? That was incredibly dangerous!”

Milly waved them off, assuring she was unharmed, her gaze darting anxiously to Jonathan.
