Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife novel Chapter 45

Chapter 45: Chapter 45: Another Jump from the Building?

County Hospital was not large, just five stories high. Cheng Su walked around on the ground floor and found that modern hospitals didn’t have much to admire or places to sit, just a few large trees planted around. They were nothing like the hospitals of the twenty-first century which, in order to provide patients with a good recovery environment, had large and beautiful gardens with various flowers and plants, resembling parks.

She simply decided to go up to the hospital’s rooftop—after all, ascending high to see far, it would be good to have a look at the county town as well.

The June sun shined strongly; as she walked out onto the rooftop door, she stretched out her arms and yawned loudly before stepping forward.

Suddenly, her gaze was drawn by an elderly man with white hair standing in front of her, his hands on the railing, half of his body leaning out.

Cheng Su’s eyes narrowed. No way, she had only come for a walk, how could she have come across someone trying to jump off a building again!

Jumping off a building, seeing it yet again, Cheng Su’s head buzzed, her heart lamented, but her legs moved as if they had wings, quickly dashing toward the man.

"Don’t jump," she said as she grabbed the old man’s arm with a tug.

The old man stumbled from her pull, also startled with a big jolt, and turned his head to see a young girl.

"Old man, life is truly precious. As the saying goes, nothing is more serious than life and death. If there is something you can’t get over, why resort to suicide?" She held his arm tightly and pleaded while catching her breath.

"Suicide?" The elderly man was taken aback, pointed at himself, and laughed, "Girl, you think I’m going to jump off the building?"

Uh, isn’t it?

It was only then that Cheng Su looked at his face. The old man had graying hair and seemed to be in his late sixties or seventies, yet he looked remarkably spirited, his complexion rosy, his mouth upturned in a smile, and his eyes were bright and alert—hardly the look of someone who wished to die.
