"..." Lia Chester smiled reluctantly, "Alright then, what a pity."
"I’m going to take a look around the ward." Koa Jackson didn’t respond further, slipping one hand in his pocket, he went out.
He spent half an hour walking through several wards.
After chatting with a patient’s family member in the corridor for a while, it was almost time.
When he looked up again, he realized he was on the third floor.
There was a large garden downstairs, it was the same place where Mia Ginger and Louis Cox embraced by the bench.
Recalling that moment——
He inevitably felt displeased again.
Before he could turn around, an unexpectedly enthusiastic voice came from behind, "Professor Jackson?"
It was a male doctor from the hospital’s emergency department.
Koa Jackson smiled politely, "Doing rounds?"
"Yes, yesterday a patient had a minor issue," the middle-aged doctor stuffed the stethoscope into his pocket, smiling casually, "but it’s been checked, nothing serious. Some patients nowadays are too alarmed, a small problem feels like a major crisis to them."
"It’s good there’s nothing wrong, they aren’t doctors themselves, it’s natural for them to worry."
"True." The male doctor sighed, suddenly remembered something and smiled, "Ha, I knew you looked familiar, it was that girl from last time."
"The girl you took away last time," realizing his words sounded too blunt, the doctor explained, "I mean that night at the emergency department, you left with the girl whose mother attempted suicide. I saw her yesterday and she looked very familiar to me."
"In the hospital?" Koa Jackson was a bit surprised.
"Right, it was really troublesome," the doctor recalled yesterday’s situation with a sigh, "that recent news on Twitter, about a female student at the Aviation Tourism Institute who died, you know about that? That girl must be her friend, she got into a fight with the journalists in the emergency department yesterday, quite fierce!"
The doctor sighed after finishing, then realized it might be inappropriate since he didn’t know the exact relationship between Koa and that girl.
It was too indiscreet.
"A fight?" Koa Jackson was clearly taken aback, looking at him.
With an inquiring expression.
"Yes, a fight indeed. I think the journalists were at fault too, they reversed priority and started faulting the girl’s family, even went to her house. The girl’s mother had a heart condition, she was rushed to surgery but didn’t make it. As soon as we went out, a fight broke out, and guess what happened in the end?"
The male doctor lamented, "A young man showed up, seemed to have some influence, and managed to get all the journalists out of there. This morning, the public opinion had shifted, saying a detective in charge of the case issued a clarification, probably due to that young man’s intervention."
"Hmm." Koa Jackson came back to his senses.
"Are you alright?" Seeing his expression, the male doctor cautiously asked.
"I’m fine." Koa Jackson glanced at his watch and smiled faintly, "I have something to do after work, I’ll take my leave now."
"Go ahead." The male doctor responded quickly.
Thinking perhaps his earlier words had upset him, feeling a bit regretful.
Koa Jackson left the hospital.
He rested one hand on the steering wheel, unusually distracted for a moment.
His phone lay on the passenger seat, the screen dimmed.
Ye Something, Eastern Peak Village...
Just these two pieces of information were enough for him to instantly know that the girl in the news was indeed Mia Ginger’s friend.
