Lola didn't easily give up. She got up again and continued to beg Harry.
But when she stood up, she saw nothing but mere darkness. With that, she fainted and collapsed on the floor.
When Lola woke up, she was on a hospital bed yet again.
She saw Joseph sitting by her side. Chuck was giving her a physical examination.
When she saw Chuck, she thought of Harry at once. Lola suddenly sat up from the bed and forcefully removed the IV on her arm. She ran out without her shoes.
Both men in the ward were startled and quickly ran after her.
When they came out, Lola had already passed through the crowd of the corridor and went inside the elevator.
When Joseph reached the elevator, he saw that the floor number at the top of the elevator door was rapidly increasing. He became so worried and immediately had a really bad feeling about it.
He went to the other elevator and pressed the button repeatedly. He waited anxiously.
Chuck felt his veins about to pop out when he saw the topmost floor number displaying on the elevator screen.
32! That's the topmost floor of the hospital!
Joseph's face was almost white with impatience. Seeing that, Chuck dialed a number.
"She's on the top floor now. I don't know what she intends to do. We can't get to the top floor right now since the elevator hasn't come down yet." This was the sixth floor. Climbing the stairs would cost a lot of time. They had to wait.
There was a minute of silence on the other end of the phone and the receiver said, "It's none of my business!"
Chuck hung up speechlessly. At this point, the elevator finally arrived.
Joseph drove all the other people out of the elevator. They hurriedly went to the top floor.
When they arrived at the top floor, Joseph's mouth gaped in fear when he saw what was happening in front of him.
Lola was sitting on the edge of the building, waggling her feet and looking blankly at the sky.
"Sister..." Joseph called to Lola with a trembling voice, "Never take problems this way. There are better things ahead of us."
Lola smiled happily. It was really weird. "Joseph, you are here."
But all she was picturing out was Harry.
The way he looked, the words he said, the things he did to her, how he loved her, how he cared for her...
She smiled and then cried. Her heart was broken to pieces. Shattered. It hurt so much.
She just wanted to jump down here, so that she would never feel this extreme pain again.
"Hey, your sister-in-law is going to give birth to a baby soon. You're going to be an aunt." With his mind spinning, Joseph gradually approached Lola and decided to say something she would really care about.
Lola had seen this a lot on TV, but she didn't expect that sitting right on the very edge of a building's roof would feel so good.
"Dear brother, don't come any further. I don't want to hurt you."
Lola smiled again. The sun was shining brightly. It was like the moments when she was with Harry, and the air was just filled with love and care.
She remembered what Harry would always tell her, "Lola, I love you."
"Lola, from now on, you are my woman. We will be together for the rest of our lives!"
And their room of memories in the manor... Did he ruin all the pictures or not?
Ruined. Everything's ruined and destroyed...
Lola began to cry. If the pictures were ruined, she would be so sad and disappointed.
It would really break her heart even more! Lola looked down and felt dizzy. She actually had fear of heights.
Joseph's phone suddenly rang. It was a call from their older brother. What would he say if he knew what had happened to his sister?
