Chapter 1403 - My Husband’s Business Comes First (4)
Huo Mian immediately sat up. “What happened?”
“Do you remember the girl hospitalized in room 5? She’s a patient of our department.”
“I do, I thought we had her under control and she was doing better?” Huo Mian frowned.
“Yes, she was, we were going to discharge her this week but for some reason, she ran up to the rooftop… The firefighters and policemen are all here… She’s threatening to jump.”
“How did that happen?” Huo Mian became nervous upon hearing that her patient wanted to commit suicide.
“I think she was agitated or something… I don’t know what happened specifically, but things are dire here… The other attendings in our department wanted to ask you what you wanted to do since she’s your patient.”
“Wait for me, I’ll be right there.”
Huo Mian didn’t want to wait since a girl’s life was at stake. Therefore, she immediately called Bella and told her to push back the meeting with the design department.
Then, she drove her Audi R8 all the way to South Side; Huo Mian had been gone for a few days now since a lot of things at GK required her attention.
Director Wu approved her leave of absence but to her surprise, a patient that was recovering well suddenly threatened to jump off the hospital building.
When Huo Mian arrived, she saw from a distance that a girl wearing a patient’s gown was standing on the edge of the rooftop, twelve floors up on the inpatient building.
Police cars, fire trucks, bystanders, and even reporters were downstairs.
“What’s the situation right now?” Huo Mian immediately asked Chen Jie upon seeing her.
“She’s been like this for 20 minutes, but she won’t come down… she also won’t let anyone go near her… The girl’s mom cried so hard that she passed out a few times… They’ve been trying to get her to come down but the attempts were unsuccessful.”
“Are the rescue cushions in place?”
“They are, but 12 floors is really high… it might not be of much help. Plus, it’s so cold outside and she’s not wearing a lot of clothes. If she keeps standing there she might get frostbite, even if she doesn’t jump,” Chen Jie analyzed.
Huo Mian nodded. Then, she took her white lab coat from Chen Jie and put it on. “Let me try, I know her fairly well.”
“Chief… be careful,” Chen Jie reminded her, worried that something might happen to Huo Mian.
“I’ll be fine,” Huo Mian said. Then, she took the elevator straight up to the top floor and then made her way up to the rooftop.
This young girl was 15 years old, currently a Grade 8 student in C City. Apparently, growing up, she had been a straight-A student who received many awards.
Because of the pressure she endured as a young girl and her parent’s pride, she slowly became a studying machine. Soon, her mentality shifted.
This girl’s conditions were special – she didn’t suffer from depression. Rather, she was diagnosed with mania.
She had a hot temper and was easily irritated, even by the little things. She smashed everything at home and her parents couldn’t do anything about it; that was how she ended up at South Side.
After getting to know her, Huo Mian realized that this little girl was quite innocent. She tried to ease her temper by hanging out with her. They played games, painted, listened to music, and even went to Ni Yang’s fan meeting together.
They did everything that a young girl was supposed to do and soon, she slowly recovered.
She was supposed to be discharged this week, but for some reason her mood was heightened, causing her to want to jump off the hospital building.
Truth be told, this girl had been at South Side for almost a month, and Huo Mian came to like her very much.
Therefore, as long as she could save her, she didn’t want any accidents to happen to this patient of hers.
After she arrived on the rooftop, the girl’s parents looked at her as if she was their savior. “Dr. Huo, you’re finally here, please save Yuning, she’s our only daughter!”
