Camden River’s mind was a blank.
His body was stiff, staring fixedly at the empty window.
It took a while for him to return to his senses.
Suddenly, he turned around, pushing through the crowd, racing downstairs.
Mia Ginger was a step ahead of him, and the two of them almost arrived at the first floor outside the teaching building simultaneously.
The lawn was surrounded layer upon layer of people.
Mia Ginger quickly ran over, but Camden River slowed his pace.
He heard the students around discussing.
"If you’re going to commit suicide, don’t choose this place. Broad daylight is really terrifying."
"She looks quite pretty, what’s wrong with her, truly."
"Luckily she fell on the cypress tree first, otherwise she’d at least be paralyzed."
"Indeed, she’s very lucky."
Sentence by sentence, the words flooded into his ears. After a long while, Camden River finally captured the information, his thoughts slowly returning, experiencing a roller coaster of emotions, his mind unusually calm and silent, without any waves.
Taking two more steps, he pushed through the crowd with one hand, standing in front of Windsor Myres.
Windsor Myres lay flat on the lawn, with scratches on her face, arms, and ankles.
Her long wavy hair scattered, spread like seaweed on the ground.
The long shirt she was wearing was torn in several places,...
For the first time, Camden River scrutinized her appearance, under such circumstances.
She was like a doll that had fallen from a height, like a fearless fairy in a supernatural story.
He was like a king, with one word, could decide her life or death.
A promise once made is irrevocable.
Camden River remained silent for a long time, his heart tumultuous, his face cold and expressionless.
Windsor Myres fixed her gaze on him, curled her lips into a smile, and slowly said, word by word, "I didn’t die jumping down, you promised me. Camden River, you said it yourself."
The crowd immediately stirred.
Glancing at Windsor Myres on the ground, then at the outstanding Camden River.
In their hearts, they faintly began to speculate, matching the two of them.
Camden River had been proud since childhood, with very thin skin; at this moment, despite everyone’s pointing and chatter, he was somewhat numb.
Windsor Myres, however, seemed indifferent.
Suddenly, she grasped Mia Ginger’s wrist beside her and commanded, "Class president, take me to the hospital."
As soon as she finished speaking, her head tilted and she fainted.
The surrounding crowd was shocked.
Quickly reacting, she took out her phone to call an ambulance.
Camden River didn’t leave either, abandoning his usually pristine image, tossing his books onto the lawn, sitting directly on it.
Silently, not saying a word.
Expressionless, not knowing what he was thinking.
The ambulance soon arrived.
The doctor and nurses brought Windsor Myres onto the vehicle.
Mia Ginger and Camden River naturally followed.
Soon, they arrived at the hospital.
Windsor Myres was pushed into the emergency room for examination, while Mia Ginger and Camden River sat outside waiting.
After a while, Mia Ginger turned her head to look at him, her voice low as she asked, "Um, are you okay?"
Camden River had remained silent since running downstairs, expressionless all the way to the hospital, looking quite different from usual; she was a bit worried, and given the circumstances, it was only right to offer a word or two of comfort.
