After hanging up the phone, Mu Jin Huan drove to the hospital.
The afterglow of the sunset filtered through the car window, casting half of his sharply contoured face in orange-yellow sunlight and the other half in shadow.
Deep within his calm black eyes, there was a hint of impatience that others would find hard to detect.
A dense crowd had gathered beside the hospital's inpatient department, their chatter almost drowning out the city's noise. Emergency responders were urgently inflating a safety cushion while someone, using a loudspeaker, attempted to talk down a would-be jumper from the rooftop.
Mu Jin Huan strode into the hospital, his firm jaw tightly set. "Where is the person?"
Doctors had to jog to keep up with his pace, hastily replying, "On the rooftop. We dare not act recklessly for fear of agitating Miss Yu."
It was shift change time in the evening at the hospital, and many people were coming and going. The elevator stopped on almost every floor.
