Sylvia committed suicide.
It happened so unexpectedly. It was the first time Kimberly had faced such a situation before. Looking at the large pool of bright red blood in the bathroom, she almost fainted. However, she knew that she had to keep it together.
Who was going to save Sylvia if she fainted? Kimberly tried to suppress her fear and carried Sylvia out of the bathtub, with George's help. Sylvia's face was pale, and Kimberly's lips were turning pale just by looking at her. George was strong. He carried Sylvia to the sofa. Kimberly applied pressure on Sylvia's hand, trying to stop the blood from flowing out.
"I can't stop it. George... I'm afraid she will die before the ambulance comes," Kimberly said, her voice trembling. Then, she thought for a moment and said firmly, "George, I'm afraid I have to trouble you. Help me carry her to the car. Let's go to the nearest hospital now."
George was a man, and he had a lot of experiences in his life. Although he was shocked at first, he had calmed down by now.
He nodded and carried Sylvia in his arms, "I'll carry her downstairs."
"Okay," Kimberly responded and followed him out quickly. She took out her mobile phone and switched on the navigation app, searching for the nearest hospital.
As she was looking for the nearest hospital, she thought of something and quickly sent a message to Quill, Sylvia's brother, asking him to go to the hospital.
They rushed downstairs. The people in the lobby were scared out of their minds when they saw the body covered in blood. They wanted to show their concern. However, Kimberly scolded them and said, "Lock up this guest's room now."
"Okay!" The person responded. However, he didn't know which room Kimberly was referring to. He checked the CCTV footage immediately after Kimberly and the others had left.
After getting into the car, Kimberly kept applying pressure on Sylvia's wrists. George drove to the nearest hospital, following the directions Kimberly gave. Although the hospital was the nearest to the hotel, it still took 10 minutes for them to arrive. Kimberly was so anxious that she couldn't calm down at all.
She felt like she was sitting on pins and needles.
"Kimberly..." She heard a weak voice beside her. Kimberly looked down and saw Sylvia's eyes were opened. She was looking at Kimberly with her pale face.
Seeing this, Kimberly was heartbroken. Tears welled up in her eyes. She bit her lower lip and said firmly, "Don't talk now. We will reach the hospital soon."
"No... No..." Sylvia shook her head and said feebly, "Please don't save me. I... don't want to live."
"What are you talking about!" Kimberly rebuked her. She gnashed her teeth and said, "Close your eyes and rest now. We will be at the hospital in a few minutes. The doctor will save you. You must live."
"Kimberly..." Sylvia called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.
Kimberly couldn't bear to look at Sylvia anymore. She tried her best to hold back her tears and turned her head away. She didn't want Sylvia to see her crying. She said harshly, "Even if you want to die, don't die in front of me."
"I'm sorry," Sylvia said softly. Then, she rolled her eyes and fainted.
"Sylvia! Sylvia!" Kimberly shouted. Seeing Sylvia faint, Kimberly's face turned pale out of fear. She said anxiously, "George, please drive faster! I'm afraid she won't make it..."
Kimberly's tears choked her before she could finish her words.
She held Sylvia in her arms and kept on applying pressure on her wrists, trying to stop the blood from flowing out. She was really scared.
Kimberly felt as if she was back in that dark little room again. It was so dark that she couldn't see anything at all. She was the only one inside the room. She felt engulfed by the darkness.
"No! Don't..." Kimberly bit her lip so tightly that blood started to drip from her lips. The pain brought her back to her senses.
She couldn't give up!
No way! There would be no one to save Sylvia anymore if not for her.
