"The patient in Bed No. 3? Isn't it Caroline?"
At that time, Rosy was sleeping. So my first reaction was to walk out of the ward with my cell phone.
I went to the door and closed the door.
At this time, the corridor outside was in a mess. And the voices of doctors and nurses were mingled together.
"What's going on?"
"I don't know. When I checked the room, she wasn't there. I didn't pay attention to it at first. But the security guard said that there was a patient on the roof just now. And I saw that it was the patient in bed No. 3!"
The nurse, who was speaking, sounded like she was crying.
If something bad happened to Caroline, she surely would be implicated.
Several doctors went upstairs with the nurse.
At this time, Jeremy and Gina weren't here.
Rosy was resting.
In other words, there was only one person related to Caroline in the whole Holy Spirit
Hospital, that was, me.
I followed the doctors and nurses, went into the elevator with them, and arrived at the top floor.
It was April now. And after suddenly getting warm, the weather turned cold again. After I went up, I saw Caroline, who was dressed in a thin hospital gown, standing on the edge of the rooftop on the top floor by herself.
There was a fence, which was about 130 centimeters high, at the edge of the rooftop.
The fence was supposed to be there to prevent someone from falling off the rooftop accidentally.
But this time, Caroline was standing outside the fence, which was only about 20 centimeters wide.
As long as she took a step forward, she would fall downstairs!
"Don't be impulsive!"
A doctor shouted beside her.
As soon as I went up, Caroline saw me. She, who had been silent, suddenly pointed to me and said, "She! That woman!"
All the doctors and nurses around looked at me.
A doctor misunderstood her meaning and immediately said with dissatisfaction, "What's going on? Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on it and not to let any patient come up?"
A security guard on the side wanted to drive me away.
I wasn't interested in this matter. I knew that Caroline wouldn't jump off the building for real and that she just wanted to force the Cowell Family to come forward and give her an explanation.
It would be best if they could promise her an identity.
I turned around, planning to go downstairs. Then I heard Caroline's voice behind me, "Don't go!"
So, I was invited back.
Caroline pointed at me and said, "Call Patrick Cowell! Tell him that if he doesn't come here, I will kill myself!"
It was as I had expected.
That day, Patrick came here to visit Caroline. It seemed that he left in less than ten minutes.
As soon as he left, Caroline cried so loud that I could even hear her crying as I went to the stairwell to dump the trash.
After that, Patrick never appeared again.
As soon as Caroline made such a request, all the doctors asked me to make a phone call.
I had no choice but to call Patrick.
Although I hadn't saved his number, his number was still fresh in my mind.
I dialed his number. As soon as I put my cell phone close to my ear, I heard Patrick's voice coming from the other side of the phone, "Hello, Charlotte."
In less than a second, Patrick answered my call.
When his voice came over the phone, I couldn't help but be stunned. Patrick was so happy. And he seemed to have a smile on his face. When I heard his voice, I could see that he was answering my call while curling up the corner of his thin lips into a faint smile.
It seemed that he was surprised to see that I had called him.
I opened my mouth and forgot what I was going to say for a moment.
Patrick, who probably hadn't heard my voice, asked again, "What's wrong? What can I do for you?"
"Hmm?"
I felt that the words related to Caroline were stuck in my throat.
At this time, Caroline, who was on the rooftop not far away, was anxious, "What's wrong? Did he answer your call or not?"
