Chapter 1008 1008 Depressed Woman

It is often seen on movies and TV that the male protagonist violently demolishes the gate and then rescues the trapped crowd inside. But the fact is, Hugo knocked open the door that looked like a piece of paper, but the pain in his shoulder almost made him jump up. Obviously this building looks crumbling, who would have known how difficult it would still be to break open a door. No wonder people say "movies are all lies", superheroes aren't so easy to be.

However, Hugo couldn't take care of his shoulders at this time. It was just a flesh wound. He opened the door of the bathroom and immediately went in and looked at it, but he didn't see anyone, and Hugo's face changed." No one!" In an instant, Charlotte and others who were standing at the door also looked over, and the man could be heard muttering, "I really saw her go in, but I never saw her come out!" Seems to be defending himself.

Hugo frowned - his shoulders really hurt, and then he pulled the bathroom door back. When he saw the thin woman huddled in the corner, Hugo didn't show a happy expression. Instead, his expression immediately changed. Changed: Could it be that he rammed the door and injured the woman? Don't say, the woman was all right at first, but was hit by Hugo's door, flew into a disaster, and was injured, then Hugo really did a bad thing with good intentions.

Hugo immediately squatted down and carefully looked at the woman in front of him, "Are you okay? Are you okay?" He put his hands on the woman's shoulders and looked up and down, trying to find out something, but he couldn't really see it with the naked eye. what is the problem.

The woman didn't answer Hugo's question, but just stared at the floor with her eyes dazed. Those red eyes and the embarrassing tears on her cheeks could clearly feel her bad state, not to mention her lack of spirit. There was a gleam in his eyes. The familiar ashes made Hugo think of Zhang Xiaoye again. When Zhang Xiaoye lost his vitality in front of Hugo, that's how those eyes were, all the brilliance gathered together, and then gradually dimmed.

"Hugo, Hugo..." Charlotte's voice came over. Hugo turned around and saw Charlotte's finger pointing to the bathroom window. Hugo followed his finger and saw the iron window railing tied to the window. on the scarf. Hugo's heart shrank, and the truth could not have been simpler: the woman had attempted suicide. It's just that I don't know if she failed, or if she didn't have the courage to execute it.

Hugo quickly looked outside, shouted, "Ambulance," and then turned to look at the woman in front of him, her messy blond hair wrapped around her cheeks and neck like seaweed, making it difficult to see her. The appearance of the pair of souls almost disappearing makes people see through the cold.

"Wake up, wake up!" Hugo patted the woman on the cheek, trying to wake her up, but it was useless. Hugo really didn't know how to deal with this situation. He had never been an expert in this area, not to mention that the person in front of him was just a stranger. Even if he wanted to persuade, he couldn't start.

At this moment, the baby's cry in his ears seemed to be fragmented amid the chaos and the sound of rain, but it made Hugo wake up. He hurriedly shouted to the woman, "Think of your child, your baby!" Hugo wasn't sure if that would work, but that's all he knew about a woman: she had a baby in the bud, so Hugo would have to be a doctor. "Child! Imagine that. , If you leave, what will happen to your child? Don't you want to watch him... Does she grow up?" Hugo didn't know whether the child was a boy or a girl, so he could only scoff, "Don't you want to see him? Learn to walk, listen to him call your mother, then take him to school by yourself, watch him grow up day by day, find a suitable partner, attend the prom, and then walk into the wedding hall; don't you want him to go shopping with you, With you every Valentine's Day and bad Thanksgiving; don't you want to watch him become a good adult and create a world of his own..."

In the panic, Hugo could only search out the things about the child in his mind, but it seemed to be fragmented, and he was not sure whether all this was useful. In a hurry, Hugo could only try his best.

Just when Hugo was trying to find out more about the child, he heard a voice, "It's her," Hugo couldn't help but stunned, and subconsciously asked, "What?" Then he I saw the woman in front of me slowly raised her head, and said with a lonely and dejected face, "It's her."

she? is her? It took Hugo a second to realize that the baby was "she", and he had been saying "he" just now, which... Hugo was suddenly embarrassed.

Seeing the embarrassment on Hugo's face, the woman tried to tug at the corners of her mouth. Although she ultimately failed, at least it could be seen that her mentality was changing. The woman took a deep breath and wiped the embarrassment on her cheeks, "You're right, I should live for Jessica, and even more for me."

"Jessica... oh, Jessica!" The crying baby was called Jessica, Hugo nodded, "This is the right idea. You know, you chose this way to end your life , not only an escape, but also a betrayal of yourself. Because of your departure, not only will no one be happy for you, on the contrary, those who love you will be distraught, and those who hate you will be Excited."

Hugo was just talking about the matter, but this simple sentence made the woman in front of her silent. She just sat there dumbfounded and didn't speak, which made Hugo startled, and thought she was feeling the same again. ashes. But fortunately, after being stunned for a while, the woman raised her head and said, "This is the truth. What you didn't say is that those strangers would only feel sorry for me, but those sympathetic eyes couldn't help me get through it. Difficulty."

Hugo let out a long sigh of relief, "At least, these strangers in the Elephant Cafe today, apart from feeling pity for you, didn't give up."

"Hugo, the ambulance will be here soon..." Charlotte shouted anxiously, but her voice gradually fell, and she stood at the door of the bathroom with a dumbfounded expression.

The woman raised her head and smiled softly. Although it was ugly, it was at least an upward arc. "I think they ran for nothing." She tried to end her life just now, but she didn't have the courage. , so there is no harm to her body. Then she tried to stand up, but struggled once, but sat on the ground again. Hugo reached out and wanted to help, but the woman shook her head and refused, "I want to try and see with my own strength." After speaking, she gritted her teeth, stubbornly supported the wall, and stood up slowly.

At this time, after the other people standing at the door of the bathroom got Charlotte's affirmative answer, they all gathered around, and when they saw the woman stood up again, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

What's even more amazing is that in this chaos, the baby's cry actually stopped. In the Elephant Cafe, there was only the sound of rain and wind mixed with the sound of the cracked branches of the stove flowing quietly.

Although it is a more reasonable explanation to say that Charlotte woke the baby, who can 100% deny that there is no telepathy between the baby and the mother? It was precisely because the baby felt the mother's departure that it burst into tears, attracting the attention of everyone in the coffee house, and this was the only way to save it later; and when the baby learned that the mother was out of danger, the baby became quiet again. .

The woman walked to the stroller and looked at her daughter who fell asleep again. Tears were about to fall as her eyes warmed, but this time she didn't let it go, but quickly wiped the corners of her eyes and smiled again to cheer herself up.

After the ambulance arrived at the scene, it learned about the situation, and did a simple check on the woman's scene. After confirming that there was no problem, it left. After the woman thanked everyone in the coffee house separately, she went to the bathroom to take care of herself briefly, and all the disturbances were completely calmed down.

The woman sat at her table, a little lost.

She is really the most unsuccessful person she has ever seen. Her marriage ended in failure. At first, she almost rushed for this marriage, but she fell into domestic violence and was kicked out of the house to live on the street. In the end; she graduated for seven years, but still does not have a formal job, and has a child who is waiting to be fed. She has tried a few different jobs, but she has achieved nothing, and she even doubts whether she has the ability to survive alone; she is now Struggling because she can't pay her rent, having nothing but an old typewriter, she's now living off government handouts, and her only advantage over the homeless on the street is at least She rented a house.

During this period of time, she always felt as if her soul had been sucked clean, and all happiness had disappeared, leaving only the endless darkness and coldness, which made her strongly wish that she had never appeared in this world. Especially when her ex-husband tried to come over to snatch custody of her daughter, this feeling reached its peak. She almost dragged her last energy and applied for a protection order to the court to expel her ex-husband from the country. After that, she could no longer feel happiness or vitality.

This situation reached its peak today, and she decided to take her own life. But at the last moment, he still didn't have the courage.

The woman raised her head and saw Hugo, who was sitting alone at the coffee table and reading the newspaper. She knew that it was this man who pulled herself back at the most dangerous moment and rekindled her hope, although This ray of hope is still very small, but at least it makes her understand that suicide is not the solution to the problem, and for Jessica and herself, she must persevere.

Hugo seemed to notice her gaze, looked up and smiled, the woman returned a smile, and then she hesitated, "Hello, I'm Joanne. Rowling, although I just It has been said, but I must say it again, thank you for your help just now."

"My help is very small. I think you still need help. I mean, professional help, such as a psychiatrist..." Hugo said politely, but when the words were general, Hugo suddenly stopped , frowned slightly, and said loudly, "Joanna Rowling?"
