Chapter 708

"What the heck?"

"Oh my God, that's a lot of blood."

"Such a young lady, too."

Whitney peered over the crowd that had gathered outside the bakery, her heart skipping a beat at the mention of a young lady in distress...

Pushing through the onlookers, she darted to the railing to look down below.

There, lying in a pool of blood, was none other than Sandy!

She froze in shock. "Sandy...? Move! She's my friend, she's fallen, can somebody call 911..."

Whirling around, Whitney spotted the escalator and bolted down it.

Sandy was sprawled next to the observation elevator, her head cracked open on the sharp steps, blood gushing out. Her leg was bent at an unnatural angle, clearly broken. "Sandy, come on, wake up." Whitney crouched beside her, too scared to move her, instead fumbling with her phone to dial 911, her hands trembling too much to make the call. Suddenly, a strong hand reached over, steadying her shaky fingers to press the numbers, then checking Sandy's pupils, his voice deep and calm, "Stand back, let me hold her." Whitney turned, her eyes wide in surprise, "Ludwik..."

"The call's through," Ludwik handed her the phone.

A bit of calm returned to Whitney at his composed demeanor, and she quickly relayed their emergency to the hospital.

After grabbing a pair of disposable gloves from a nearby shop, Ludwik carefully lifted Sandy, preserving the scene as much as possible.

"Call the cops," he instructed.

"The cops?" Whitney was bewildered.

He nodded towards the upper level, "That's where she fell from. See, the railing's intact."

Whitney's gaze followed, and it clicked. The railing was undamaged.
