Lu Bosheng was pushed awake by a few panicking nurses.
He sat up, alert all of a sudden. Upon opening his eyes, he saw several nurses standing in front of him, looking very nervous. The lights in the hospital room were switched on with blinding incandescence. Squinting his eyes, he asked, “What is it?”
“Something terrible happened… Your daughter, she…”
The nurses were agitated and could not bring themselves to complete their words.
Upon hearing the keyword, though, the man perked up with heightened awareness and turned his head sharply to look at the crisp-white bed, only to find it empty.
“Where’s my daughter?!” He jumped up from the couch in great agitation, grabbed one of the nurses, and questioned, “Where did she go?!”
Before the nurse had time to open her mouth, a shrill siren cut through the night outside.
The man stared hard with his bloodshot eyes, and then, as if realizing something at once, he blatantly pushed through the crowd and staggered out of the door!
…
Two police cars drove into the inpatient wing, quickly stopped the sirens, and then a few men in uniforms alighted from the vehicles.
The spacious building was filled with people.
Patients, family members, who were keeping watch overnight, and the hospital staff—doctors, nurses, and cleaners—on duty, they all gathered around one particular spot with their heads bowed. Many were shaking their heads and sighing with graveness.
Lu Bosheng rushed out of the hospital building and noticed, at once, that the fountain pool not far away from him was crowded.
Visibly shaken, he frowned in disbelief as his eyes quickly turned red and wide. He inhaled several gulps of cool air to calm himself down.
The fountain was some distance away from the entrance. The man did not know how he covered this distance, but all he could remember was that he walked over with dread in his heart and heard some bystanders saying as they shook their head and signed, “Why did this young lady have to do this to herself…”
“She probably jumped from the balcony and the strong wind sent her crashing over here. Sigh…”
“What a pity; she’s so young still…”
He moved the crowd with great distress. “Move over, move over… Let me see my daughter… Let me see my daughter!”
As soon as the crowd heard him saying that he was the father, they immediately made way for him in silence. Some kind-hearted souls tried to console him softly. “Mister, our condolences to your loss!”
He pushed through the crowd, dashed to the spot surrounded by the bystanders, and immediately saw the puddle of blood on the ground!
It was a terrible sight to behold.
The woman was a pile of mangled blood and flesh and had died a horrible death. She had fallen from a great height and crashed a leg when she reached the ground.
The visual was too much to bear for the poor man as he failed to catch his breath surging into his head and almost fell head-first onto the ground.
The police, who had rushed over to manage the scene, came in time to hear a man cry in anguish from among the crowd, “Tiantian!”
…
The next day, news about the missy jumping to her death spread like wildfire.
The pain of losing his daughter was so unbearable that her father suffered a sudden heart attack and was sent to the emergency room.
When her mother, who had rushed over immediately upon hearing the news, found out that her beloved daughter had jumped to her death, she fainted from shock, and the couple was treated at the emergency unit together.
This event came too suddenly for Huanyu. The chief producer was awakened in his sleep by the nightmarish news and had to rush to the hospital to take charge of the situation. Due to the uncertain circumstances surrounding the entire event, the company did not release the news to the public immediately.
