Is My Broke Boyfriend Actually a Billionaire Heir? - Chapter 26

I never expected it.

The moment I opened the stairwell door–

There was someone collapsed at my feet.

The sudden figure startled me so much that I jolted, letting out a short, sharp scream.

But right after that came shock: “Julian Montgomery?”

Julian Montgomery, sitting on the ground, also looked uneasy.

His right wrist was caught in a rope loop, hanging from the doorknob.

When he saw me, he hurriedly pulled his hand free and scrambled to his feet.

“I, I… I didn’t mean to…”

“What are you doing here?”

The rope loop hanging from his right hand.

Julian Montgomery, sitting in the stairwell, bleary-eyed with sleep.

The scene before me–I couldn’t even piece together a reasonable or realistic explanation.

“I didn’t know exactly how many days you’d stay, and I didn’t know your flight time.”

“If I sleep in the room, I won’t hear when you leave.”

“Sitting here with my hand hung up, my arm goes numb more easily, and I sleep lighter.”

“If someone presses the elevator button to go downstairs, I can wake up…”

As he spoke, Julian Montgomery tugged lightly at the sleeve of his black hoodie.

But I’d already seen the red marks pressed into his skin.

“Julian Montgomery, you are fucking insane!”

I slammed the trash into the garbage can.

I shook my head, gave Julian Montgomery a long, deep look, and turned to walk out.

But Julian Montgomery suddenly grabbed my hand, his voice anxious:

“I’m not… it’s just…”

The words never formed a sentence.

In the end, it was only a sigh.

Julian Montgomery hung his head, once again admitting fault:

“Don’t be mad.”

“I’ll be more careful in the future.”

“I won’t let you see me.”

I took a deep breath and closed my eyes for a few seconds.

Forcefully wrenched my hand free from his palm:

“If you want to work yourself to death, then get far away.”

“Don’t die near me.”
