A Wound that Never Heals

Chapter 237

Chapter 237 Aurora, Does It Hurt?

The two people who fell from the rooftop quickly disappeared into the endless darkness.

The rooftop fell into chaos. It was full of Dakota’s hoarse and weak cries, the footsteps of someone who was rushing downstairs, and the screams and clamors of someone.

Countless voices mixed together, making the snowy midnight even more deathly silent.

Dakota fell to the side of the railing.

She could not stand up for a moment, and her face was pale as she crawled in the direction of leaving the rooftop.

Her entire body trembled as she tried to get up. It took a long time for her to hold on to what she could hold on to.

She staggered and stood up.

Dakota’s legs were trembling and her throat was choked. She could no longer hear anything. She was anxious to go downstairs and muttered, “My daughter, my darling.”

Lucian no longer had time to care about Dakota. He quickly rushed downstairs with the police. Dakota followed behind him and tried her best to speed up.

Everyone was desperately rushing downstairs. Although everyone knew that no matter how fast they were, it was impossible to stop the two people who fell from the rooftop.

When Lucian followed the police and the others downstairs, he discovered that Braylen and Avery, who had just come up with him, had already disappeared.

The incident happened too suddenly, and it was currently snowing in the middle of the night. It was almost impossible to expect professional rescue personnel to build rescue equipment below the rooftop.

Braylen and Avery found it hard to think of any solutions in this short period of time.

But at this time, Lucian could only place his last hope on the two of them.

When a group of people arrived downstairs, it was already chaotic downstairs. And the noise of the crowd had woken up many patients and their family members in the hospital.

The police cars and fire trucks rushed over in the end, and in thirty seconds, the air cushion was quickly filled with air.

Braylen and Avery rushed over almost at the same time as the police cars and fire trucks. They ran over from the outside of the hospital, followed by a bunch of bodyguards of Avery.

More than ten people were carrying a total of dozens of quilts and two large inflatable castles.

Behind them, the person in charge of the furniture store and amusement park raised their voices and cursed as they chased after them.

Before the people upstairs jumped down, the special police and firefighters had quickly estimated the location of the fall and prepared a rescue air cushion. Everyone was staring at the situation at the top.

Fortunately, this was the lowest floor of the inpatient building. The highest floor was only the sixth floor. If it was higher, the rescue air cushion would be powerless.

Braylen and Avery quickly got on their own while urgently ordering the bodyguards next to them to help. They placed the cotton quilt and the inflatable castle next to the rescue air cushion that the police had arranged.

The police wanted to remind them that this kind of cotton quilt and inflatable castle, no matter how much they put, would not have much effect.

The cotton quilt could easily rebound and hurt the internal organs, and the inflatable castle might explode under too much pressure.

But thinking of the position, it was estimated that the people would fall on the rescue air cushion. As for the things next to it, they could just let it be, so the police did not stop it.

The two shopkeepers who were cursing and chasing after them originally wanted to complain to the police, but seeing that the situation was not right, they immediately fell silent.

When Lucian rushed down, the two people had already been saved by the rescue air cushion.

Braylen was almost scared to death.

Seeing the two people who successfully fell onto the air cushion, his whole body directly collapsed, and he sat on the ground with a pale face without any image.

After a long time, Braylen finally got up in shock and asked in a trembling voice, “Why are there two people falling down?”

Fortunately, the position of the fall was close. Otherwise, with only one large rescue air cushion, who should they save?

Darlene fell with her face to the ground.

The wind and snow blew on her face so that she could not open her eyes. She heard the sharp whistling of the wind.

Other than that, she did not see or hear anything else.

Darlene did not hear anything about the noisy and chaotic shouts below.

Then, Darlene felt her body fall into a huge cloud. It felt soft, cold, dead, and silent.

The expected loud sound of her body falling to the ground and the heart-wrenching pain did not come.

Darlene thought to herself, when people die, they will not feel pain.

Darlene’s closed eyes did not open. She knew that everything was over. It was good that she did not feel pain. She was already dead. How could she still feel pain?

The height of the rescue air cushion was very high. The police were preparing to slowly release the gas to lower the height of the air cushion and send the two people who fell to the hospital.

Darlene felt her body sinking bit by bit.

There seemed to be a lot of people calling out to her, but it also seemed it was just an illusion.

Then Darlene clearly felt that someone was approaching. The person crawled to her side, shook her hands, and pulled her into his arms.

His voice was familiar, trembling, almost desperate, but also pleasantly surprised.

His face was pressed against Darlene’s face, and his arms that were holding her were shaking violently. Darlene felt that his face was wet.

It was Gustave’s voice, but it carried a myriad of emotions that he had never revealed before.

Gustave’s slightly trembling voice carried a trace of a very, very deep sob.

“Aurora, does it hurt? How do you feel?”

Darlene closed her eyes tightly. Her eyelashes trembled. She had relaxed her body because she realized that she was dead. Now she slowly tensed up again.

Darlene wondered why there was this voice beside her. She opened her eyes and looked at Gustave’s face. His tears fell on her face.

Darlene’s eyes were full of confusion.

“Why are you here?”
