Carlos is the one who react first. He rushes to the brink of the railing and thought that will see a terrible sight, but unexpectedly, he sees a huge orange air cushion.
He sees people wearing a mixture of red and orange clothes on the ground, and also white litter with a police car parked next to it.
The strength in the body is disengaged at once. Carlos sits on the floor and leans against the dusty fence behind him, “Everything’s fine…. She’s fine….”
Carlos looks up at Rex, and unexpectedly faced a pair of reddish eyes.
Carlos, who had never seen Rex like this, is stunned, “Rex….”
His cheek’s moved slightly, like a gritted teeth gesture, “Where’s she?”
Carlos breathes a sigh of relief, “The police and firefighter is here, with an air cushion with them, and Lily is fine.”
After speaking, the man in front of him turns around and left without looking underneath. He seems to be evading. Even if he know that the person is fine, he still refuses all the possibilities.
…..
Falling from a high level, even if she falls into an air cushion, the impact of force and gravity is still huge. The moment she hits the air cushion, she fell into coma and is taken to the Hospital.
When Rex arrives, she has been pushed into the emergency room.
Karl personally intervenes, and all the experts of the internal medicine is gathered in the operating room.
Looking at the red light lights up on the wall, Rex feels even more depressed. He then draws out a cigarette. The mist is white. His complexion is cold, which cause none of the medical staff that passes by dare to stop by.
Everyone knows that Rex is a friend of Karl who is the director of the hospital. The girl that was pushed inside just now is young. They must have a special relationship.
At this time, no one will dare to look for trouble.
It is just that the man in front of him has his eyes dangled. His hand keeps on moving the cigarette to the trembled mouth, as if he is extremely depressed.
He stares blankly, which is completely out of spirit. He keeps on recalling the scene on the rooftop.
After living for thirty-two years, and since his parents divorced at his sixteen years old, he hasn’t shed a tear in front of people. No matter how hard and pain it was, he will stay still. But today, when she fell in front of him, a haze of tears rose in the eyes.
If she really dies, what would he do?
Rex asks himself but couldn’t get an answer. He only realizes that he would never let go the man who hijacked her. He would make him regret for his born.
Intense, tempestuous, and uncontrollable.
He is obviously interested only with her body at first, but now, he care about the heart too.
Only then he discovered that he unconsciously fall in love with her.
The thin lips lifts to take a deep breath and chokes the smoke out from his nose. It keeps him sober and sensible.
An hour later, the door of the emergency room is pushed open. Karl comes out and walks towards him while taking off the mask. “She’s fine. The over-shocked caused her a slight concussion and must be hospitalized. It isn’t convenient to be at home after all.”
He nods and presses the cigarette butt on the lid of the trash can, then throws it.
Karl looks at the smoke around him and sighs silently, “This is a hospital, you can go out to smoke.”
He doesn’t answer him, but asks, “Is she awake?”
“Not yet, but you may go inside to see her.” Karl moves aside to give him a way.
Rex stands still, but his vision looks at the direction. As if he could see the patient through the door panel.
Karl asks the medical staff behind him to leave and pats his shoulder, then moves closer, “Did you still on a cold war?”
“No.”
