In Aryadelle, George drove to the hospital to ask the medical staff about the girl who jumped into the river.
"Are you a member of her family?" the nurse asked.
George was stunned for a while before nodding. "I'm her friend. How is she doing right now?" "She's still being resuscitated. Are you going to help her pay for her medical fees? Or are you going to contact her family to get them to make a trip here?" George said without any hesitation, "I'll pay.
George paid a sum of the medical fee for Leah, then the nurse led him to the emergency department.
"It's hard to say what your friend's condition is right now. Once the emergency doors open, you ask the doctor," the nurse said and left.
George sat down on a chair outside the emergency room.

George looked at Leah and saw her pale face and her eyes closed as if she was...
"Doctor, is she dead?" George exclaimed.
The doctor was stunned for a while. On the stretchers, Leah heard George's unlucky words. She was so furious she opened her eyes.
"Are you the patient's family?" the doctor asked. "She's not dead, but she needs to stay in the hospital." George responded with "Oh." When he saw Leah open her eyes, he let out a sigh of relief. "It's good that she's not dead. Let her stay in the hospital!" "I'll go write a bill. Go and deal with her checking-in procedure," the doctor said before walking to the consultation room by the side.
George looked at Leah once more. "How are you feeling?" "Alright. I don't think I'll die." Leah smiled, half serious, half mocking. "Why are you here?" "I called your phone, but a stranger answered. I cout from school, and I saw your bag by the fruit shop." Leah was a little stunned. "You remembered what my bag looks like?" "You have a little bear charm hanging on your bag. The bear is extremely ugly. It's hard not to remember," George teased her before asking, "Why did you jump? Did someone force you?" el The smile on Leah's face vanished. Since she did not answer, George said angrily, "It must be Natalie, right? I don't need to think to know that it's her." "We don't owe each other anything ne anymore in the future." Leah saw how tense George was. She reached out and tugged on his hand. "I learned how to swim when I was very young. I even trained with the national team. I deliberately chose to jump into the river because I was confident that I would survive." "Swimming and jumping into the river are two different matters. Also, jumping from such a high place. Even if you know how to swim, you could still die." George pushed her hand away. "Don't say that you don't owe each other anything. This matter can't be djust i that." "What else can I do? My parents are already cutting ties withbecause of her, " Leah said bitterly, holding back the tears in her eyes.
