Although there was a deck underneath the balcony, Axel could have fallen off it if he flipped and turned. The fall from two floors might not have cost him his life, but it was enough to severely injure him.
"Good heavens! You crazy child! You've gone mad!" Mrs. Rosie hurried into the kitchen to inform Alyssa and Jasper, who were busy making tea.
"Madam, your brother Axel is sleeping on the balcony! | dare not wake him up. | can't take the responsibility if he falls off the balcony from the shock.” Jasper's eyes were filled with worry. Alyssa continued making her tea, unfazed. She drawled, "Don't worry about it. He'll never fall off the balcony. He's been like this since he was a kid, sleeping on high and steep surfaces. Rooftops, hills, trees—you name it. I bet he was a monkey in his previous life." Jasper was dumbstruck by the Taylors’ carefree and daredevil attitude. Were the Taylors unconcerned because they had too many children to spare? Finally, Alyssa and Jasper caved into Mrs. Rosie's nagging and went to the balcony for Axel.

"Don't waste your energy. Your arms are only for carrying me. Why would you lift a grown man like him? Just put a blanket on him." Then, she snorted and held his arm. "Congratulations on outdrinking Axel Taylor. You're the first to do so. Maybe you should down another two shots to celebrate it." He widened his eyes in shock. "Axel isn't drunk, is he? He's sober. | think he fell asleep because he was tired." "Oh, you don't know Axel. If he falls asleep after drinking, it means he's hit his limits. Otherwise, he could keep going until dawn.” Their whispers were interrupted by Axel's ringing phone. After three rings, he shockingly answered it with his eyes closed. He slurred lazily, "Who's this?" A few moments later, he answered, "Koger that! | Il return to the base!" While speaking, he sat up straight on the balcony and jumped off the railing.
"Axel, watch out!" Jasper gaped and yelled.
He proceeded to stop Axel, only to be held back by Alyssa. She comforted him, "Don't worry. He's fine. Don't believe it? Let's check it out." They wandered to the edge and found Axel sprinting out of the villa grounds, looking healthy and fine. He left behind something like a nail hole on the balcony railing.
"Special agents carry secret weapons from head to toe. They can even jump off the fifth floor without an issue,” she explained, caressing Jaspers cheek to reassure him. "He must be hurrying back to the organization after receiving a new mission. He didn't bother to tell us about it because he felt ashamed after losing the drinking game." Jasper shook his head speechlessly. "Axel acts like a boy." Smiling, she wrapped an arm around his waist and purred, "Yeah, he's just a schoolboy at heart. Don't mind him."
