The Woman From Hell

When I returned to the ward with the heated porridge, Nina had disappeared.

I put the bowl down and hurried out. I grabbed a passing nurse and asked, "Hi, may I ask if you caught the patient of this ward leaving?"

"No."

I asked several people in a row, and they all saw nothing. I was flustered. I quickly contacted her attending doctor to help find her.

I heard a few nurses discussing among themselves while I was in the midst of searching. "There seems to be a patient on our rooftop who might jump. A lot of people surrounded them, watching. The doctor even called the police over."

"God, this has to save her."

Rooftop?

I ran to a window and looked down. There was indeed a crowd watching. The police had also arrived. Although a safety air cushion had been laid, the building was more than 30 stories high, which did not help.

Could it be...!

Feeling more and more uneasy, I quickly called for the elevator. Reaching the top floor, I rushed to the rooftop.
