“Stop!”
The policeman’s voice just sounded behind me.
I didn’t care so much at all. I rushed straight in to the doorway, and I stooped down across the cordon into the hallway.
The corridor was empty and there was no one here.
For a moment I didn’t know where to go.
When I hesitated, the police had caught up and held my arm directly. He yelled, “Are you a journalist?”
“No!” My arm was twisted and pressed by the police, and I couldn’t turn back. I could only say, “I’m really the fiancee of the dean. He didn’t go home. Tomorrow is his birthday, so I’m worried!”
I knew it was impossible for me to escape.
The police listened and hesitated. “Do you have a picture of you?”
A picture of us?
I thought about it and shook my head. “No.”
“You don’t even have a photo of both of you. And you tell me you are boyfriend and girlfriend. How could I believe that?” The police were angry. “I think you are a journalist!”
As he said, he took out the phone and called directly. “You send someone to the Sunshine Hospital. I caught a journalist.”
I was anxious, “I’m really not a journalist! I’m a designer, and I can prove it!”
“Designer?” The police let me go, “Prove it.”
I quickly took out my phone and looked up some of my old news from the internet for the police.
Fortunately, there were some interviews about me I have had before.
The policeman pressed me with one hand and held the cell phone with another hand. After watching the news, he stared at me suspiciously and said, “Although you prove that you are not a journalist, you cannot prove your relationship with the dean. I cannot tell you what happened.”
“Then tell me if there are any dead in the hospital.”
That is enough!
The policeman looked at me hesitantly and said, “I can only tell you that the dean is still alive.”
These words made me feel at ease.
My nervousness calmed down.
But I quickly responded, “If he is alive, why is his phone turned off? Is something wrong? Is he injured?”
“No! If you do not leave now, my colleague will come and take you to the police station.”
The police was getting tired of me.
However, I also saw that he really couldn’t say anything about the hospital.
I had to leave the hospital.
When I got home, I checked it online. Sure enough, I found some news about the hospital.
I learned from the online news that the MERS epidemic was found in the Sunshine Hospital, and the entire hospital was now blocked.
I checked MERS online again.
I found out that this was a respiratory disease caused by a new coronavirus. This infectious disease was similar to SARS but had a higher lethality.
I panicked when I knew the news.
Will Ming be infected? Will he be okay?
“Happy broken pupa, gorgeous new impulse...”
When I was in a panic, my phone rang!
It was Ming!
I have never felt so excited at the moment because I saw Ming's phone!
“Ming, are you okay?” When I answered the phone, I asked first.
The phone was silent for a while before the man said, “Do you know all?”
