Chapter 329: Chapter 329: Adults May Not Always Endure

After lunch, Jiang Ye left.

After all, they were both busy.

But, the cafeteria was crowded, how could nobody notice the two of them together at noon?

As soon as Lu Jing returned to the department, he was teased by the nurses at the nurse station, and then teased again by his colleagues in the office.

"Doctor Lu, were you deliberately spreading dog food today?"

Pff~

Actually, Lu Jing just came back to the office to grab some things; he was supposed to be in the clinic all day.

Ahem.

"I did not, don’t slander me."

"Not yet? Who in the hospital doesn’t know that Captain Jiang ate in our cafeteria this afternoon?"

Lu Jing felt helpless. Wasn’t it just a trivial matter? Yet it seemed to be known throughout the hospital?

Well, people are under a lot of work stress nowadays.

Let alone the medical staff.

Alright.

Let them tease.

He just picked up his things and left.

"Ahem, I’m off to the clinic!"

There were still a few minutes before his afternoon shift began.

"Go ahead, go ahead."

Lu Jing truly bolted out of the department.

After entering the elevator, he finally took a deep breath or two.

Luckily, he didn’t run into any acquaintances along the way.

....

Once he reached the outpatient clinic, he adjusted his mindset and began calling patients.

He was busy for nearly two hours before he finally took a break.

Just as he was holding his cup and about to drink some water, he suddenly heard a shout from the hall:

"Somebody’s jumping off the building!"

Jumping off?

Instantly, the whole hall erupted into chaos.

Many people ran outside,

Including the doctors who had just finished their shifts; they ran very fast.

After all, if there was a chance to save someone, these doctors could provide immediate treatment.

Lu Jing checked the system and saw no more patients scheduled.

He took a couple of sips of water and got up himself.

No need to ask; everyone was running in one direction.

Once outside, he saw a crowd had gathered under the neighboring inpatient building, and three fire trucks were parked there.

At that moment, firefighters on the ground were unfolding an air cushion, and indeed, there was a figure sitting on the edge of the roof.

Looking closely, one could see it was a girl.

Only when Lu Jing moved closer did he overhear discussions among the crowd:

"I heard she’s only sixteen or seventeen."

"Poor girl, what made her think of doing this?"

"Ah, kids nowadays mature so early but have such fragile mentalities, unlike our times."

Another person suddenly said:

"I heard that girl has had psychological issues, she’s been living in the hospital, hasn’t she?"

"What’s going on? Tell me."

"Ahem, I also just heard about it; it’s the girl’s father, who has a mistress and even had a son with her who is now in kindergarten.

The girl’s mother was provoked and became extreme, obsessed with having another son to win back her husband, and she neglects and even abuses her older daughter."

Hiss~

Those listening couldn’t help but feel sorry for Miss Guan.

At such a young age, facing so much that even adults might not endure.

While Lu Jing was listening intently, suddenly, the crowd stirred.

It turned out that the girl on the roof had moved a bit, startling everyone.

There were quite a few people on the roof by then.

Firefighters, police, medical staff, quite a number of them, but most kept their distance, afraid of startling the girl.

Except for a few firefighters who were close, continuously trying to talk her down.
