Throwing the Child in the Air
Every movement on the bridge kept everyone''s hearts pounding.
Dn''s expression was grim as he clenched his fists.
Meanwhile, the cops taking cover behind the car doors were on high alert.
We were on edge as the situation left us feeling helpless.
As took two more steps, but the man roared, "Stop! You wouldn''t want..."
His words were intermittent, indicating As was trying to reason with him.I suspected As knew the
man.
Meanwhile, Ava’s voice faded like she would run out of breath.
My heart ached, and I felt suffocated.However, I knew no one dared to make any sudden moves.
Everyone feared agitating the man who might let her go.
For some reason, the man became agitated.
He repeatedly pointed the gun at As, shouting angrily.
After his outburst, he threw Ava into the air, and she plummeted toward the surface.
As that happened, the man leaped from the overpass and plunged downward.
Immediately after, I heard several gunshots.
I gasped and screamed maniacally, "No!"
Simultaneously, I saw As dart forward and extend his arms toward Ava.
As she was about to hit the ground, As rolled a great distance uponnding.
Suddenly, Ava’s cries ceased.
By that time, Dn had rushed toward As.
I broke free from the bodyguards and yelled, desperately running toward As.
I didn’t know what had happened to him and Ava or if they were injured.
Then, the bodyguards and cops also charged forward.
Before I could reach the two, I heard Ava’s cries, "Uncle As! Mommy! I’m scared!"

It felt like everything had finally returned to normal at that moment.I saw As holding Ava as he rose
with one hand, sheltering Ava against his chest.
His knuckles were scraped and bleeding as he embraced my daughter.I saw bloodstains on As’s
white shirt at the elbow.
When I reached them, he embraced me and secured us in his arms.
He pressed his face against Ava''s tear-streaked face, saying, "It''s okay, my dear Ava.Don''t be
afraid.Uncle As is here."
Ava was still sobbing as he stroked her back, adding, "Look, Ava, I''m here.Don’t be scared."
"Uncle As? I saw you calling me when...Mo-Mommy..."
Ava''s words were incoherent as she continued to sob while hugging As’s neck.
Her eyes remained wide with fear, trembling uncontrobly.
asionally, Ava nced back at me.
Her words were frightening, and she refused to let go of As.
I pressed my face against hers, realizing she was too frightened to make sense.I cried with her as her
helplessness broke my heart.
As examined her and said, "Chlo, we should go to the As examined her and said, "Chlo, we
should go to the hospital."
He called Dn and instructed him to handle the aftermath before carrying Ava away.
As then pulled me along and quickly got into the off- road vehicle that had arrived beside us.
He told the driver, "To the hospital, quickly."
