Chapter 282
Sylvia committed suicide.
It happened so unexpectedly. It was the first time Kimberly had faced such a situation before. Looking at the large pool of bright red blood in the bathroom, she almost fainted. However, she knew that she had to keep it together.
Who was going to save Sylvia if she fainted? Kimberly tried to suppress her fear and carried Sylvia out of the bathtub, with George's help. Sylvia's face was pale, and Kimberly's lips were turning pale just by looking at her. George was strong. He carried Sylvia to the sofa. Kimberly applied pressure on Sylvia's hand, trying to stop the blood from flowing out.
"I can't stop it. George... I'm afraid she will die before the ambulance comes," Kimberly said, her voice trembling. Then, she thought for a moment and said firmly, "George, I'm afraid I have to trouble you. Help me carry her to the car. Let's go to the nearest hospital now."
George was a man, and he had a lot of experiences in his life. Although he was shocked at first, he had calmed down by now.
He nodded and carried Sylvia in his arms, "I'll carry her downstairs."
"Okay," Kimberly responded and followed him out quickly. She took out her mobile phone and switched on the navigation app, searching for the nearest hospital.
As she was looking for the nearest hospital, she thought of something and quickly sent a message to Quill, Sylvia's brother, asking him to go to the hospital.
They rushed downstairs. The people in the lobby were scared out of their minds when they saw the body covered in blood. They wanted to show their concern. However, Kimberly scolded them and said, "Lock up this guest's room now."
"Okay!" The person responded. However, he didn't know which room Kimberly was referring to. He checked the CCTV footage immediately after Kimberly and the others had left.
After getting into the car, Kimberly kept applying pressure on Sylvia's wrists. George drove to the nearest hospital, following the directions Kimberly gave. Although the hospital was the nearest to the hotel, it still took 10 minutes for them to arrive. Kimberly was so anxious that she couldn't calm down at all.
She felt like she was sitting on pins and needles.
"Kimberly..." She heard a weak voice beside her. Kimberly looked down and saw Sylvia's eyes were opened. She was looking at Kimberly with her pale face.
Seeing this, Kimberly was heartbroken. Tears welled up in her eyes. She bit her lower lip and said firmly, "Don't talk now. We will reach the hospital soon."
"No... No..." Sylvia shook her head and said feebly, "Please don't save me. I... don't want to live."
"What are you talking about!" Kimberly rebuked her. She gnashed her teeth and said, "Close your eyes and rest now. We will be at the hospital in a few minutes. The doctor will save you. You must live."
"Kimberly..." Sylvia called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.
Kimberly couldn't bear to look at Sylvia anymore. She tried her best to hold back her tears and turned her head away. She didn't want Sylvia to see her crying. She said harshly, "Even if you want to die, don't die in front of me."
"I'm sorry," Sylvia said softly. Then, she rolled her eyes and fainted.
"Sylvia! Sylvia!" Kimberly shouted. Seeing Sylvia faint, Kimberly's face turned pale out of fear. She said anxiously, "George, please drive faster! I'm afraid she won't make it..."
Kimberly's tears choked her before she could finish her words.
She held Sylvia in her arms and kept on applying pressure on her wrists, trying to stop the blood from flowing out. She was really scared.
Kimberly felt as if she was back in that dark little room again. It was so dark that she couldn't see anything at all. She was the only one inside the room. She felt engulfed by the darkness.
"No! Don't..." Kimberly bit her lip so tightly that blood started to drip from her lips. The pain brought her back to her senses.
She couldn't give up!
No way! There would be no one to save Sylvia anymore if not for her.
"George, hurry up!"
Kimberly urged again.
Finally, they reached the hospital. The doctors and nurses had received the news in advance, and were waiting at the entrance. Seeing them getting out of the car with blood all over their bodies, the hospital staff quickly carried the stretcher to receive Sylvia.
"Hurry up! This patient is in critical condition! Get her on the cart and go to the emergency room immediately."
Kimberly followed behind them. Her body was covered with blood because she had been holding Sylvia in her arms the whole time. Kimberly and Sylvia looked terrifying covered in blood.
"Doctor, how is she? Has she lost too much blood?" Kimberly asked in a trembling voice, the tears welling up in her eyes.
The doctor spoke while trying to save Sylvia, "You are her friend, aren't you? Please don't worry. You should clean up the blood on your body first. We'll send your friend to the emergency room later. It's unhygienic to leave the blood on your body."
George followed behind them at the same time. Kimberly wanted to enter the emergency room along with Sylvia, but she was stopped instead.
'Bang!'
After the emergency room door closed, Kimberly became even more nervous. She kept biting her lower lip. George stood beside her for a while. He realized Kimberly was standing still for a long time. She looked very scary in such a state.
He stepped forward and offered, "Young Madam, there is a chair over there. Would you like to have a seat?"
Kimberly stood still and did not give any response, as if she didn't hear George.
George tried to persuade her again but to no avail. In the end, he had no choice but to go to a quiet corner himself. He took out his mobile phone and was ready to call Maddox.
All of a sudden, Kimberly, who had been standing still, seemed to realize something. She turned around and looked at George.
"George, are you calling Maddox?"
George stopped. He turned around and looked at Kimberly strangely, "Young Madam, what's wrong?"
"Are you calling him?" Kimberly repeated her question again. Then, she thought of something and rushed forward, "Don't call him."
"Why? I think it'd be better to inform Young Master Yardley. This is a serious matter."
"No," Kimberly replied. She said coldly, "This has nothing to do with him. That girl inside the emergency room is my friend. Don't call Maddox."
Seeing Kimberly's stern face and hearing her firm tone, George thought that Kimberly didn't want to worry Maddox. Therefore, he kept his mobile phone and said, "Since you insist, I'll keep my phone. I'll take care of things here. You can go and wash yourself up."
Kimberly looked down at her clothes and said in a low voice, "There are no clothes for me to change into. How can I clean up? I'm fine. I'll just wait for Sylvia here."
"Do you want to have a seat on the chair?"
"The blood will stain the chair."
The family members of the other patients who were waiting outside the emergency room all stayed away from Kimberly because she was covered in blood. Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
Kimberly's body was covered with bright red blood, her eyes were red and puffy because of the crying, and her hair was messy. She looked terrible.
Fortunately, she was a young girl. Otherwise, anyone would think that she had tried to murder someone.
