Ren Xuelan listened to what Director Wang said.

It felt like a huge stone was pressing on my heart.

She sighed heavily, her shoulders slumped, and her voice was full of reluctance:

"Sigh... Alright, Lao Xie, call her now, hurry up!"

Upon hearing this, Xie Heng felt as if he had received a pardon.

He frantically pulled out his phone.

As he scrolled through his contacts, he felt a surge of relief.

Thankfully, I managed to get her number from her last time, even though I was a bit hesitant.

Otherwise, we would be completely lost today!

The phone rang several times after I dialed it.

Xie Heng was so anxious that he kept spinning in circles.

Finally, it's connected.

Yan Ning's cool yet slightly puzzled voice came through:

"Uncle Xie? Is there something you need?"

"Yan Ning!"

Xie Heng's voice rose eight octaves, conveying an urgent tone:

"Something terrible has happened! Come to the hospital quickly! Huaiye has run to the roof! If he can't see you, he's going to jump!"

"What?!"

On the other end of the phone, Yan Ning's voice tightened instantly, "Jumped off a building? How could this happen? Weren't you all receiving proper treatment at the hospital?!"

Xie Heng was so anxious that he became incoherent:

"It's true, he's on the top floor! Ten people couldn't stop him! He only recognizes you and insists on seeing you!"

"I'll send the address to your phone right away! Please, Yan Ning, come quickly, or it will be too late!"

The call was disconnected.

Yan Ning held her phone, her fingertips icy cold.

Her mind was in complete chaos.

She thought that if she handed Xie Huaiye over to the Xie family and to a professional doctor, everything would be fine.

How did it get like this? Did he jump off a building?

That once arrogant man is now so vulnerable that he has to resort to this method... to see her?

A feeling of heartache that I can't quite explain.

A feeling of helplessness still welled up inside me.

Without thinking twice, she grabbed her bag and rushed out of the Su family's gate.

I hailed a taxi, gave the driver the hospital address, and kept urging him to drive faster.

My heart was in my throat.

We finally arrived at the hospital.

The wind was strong on the top floor of the hospital, making people's clothes flutter.

The atmosphere was so tense it was suffocating.

Security guards and doctors stood nearby, barely daring to breathe.

Yan Ning stumbled and ran up.

Following everyone's horrified gazes, I looked in the direction they were looking.

Xie Huaiye stood alone on the cement platform at the edge of the rooftop!

He was wearing a large hospital gown.

My body trembled slightly in the wind.

Like a leaf that could be blown away at any moment.

His face was frighteningly pale, and his eyes were fixed stubbornly on the ground floor.

"Thank you, Huaiye!"

Yan Ning's heart clenched suddenly.

He blurted out his name.

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Xie Huaiye trembled and turned around abruptly.

"Sister Yan Ning!"

He was like a child who had been lost for a long time and finally found his family.

He shouted with a sob in his voice.

The next second, he completely disregarded everything.

He jumped straight off that dangerous edge.

Staggering, he opened his arms and lunged at Yan Ning!

Yan Ning was knocked back a step by him.

She instinctively hugged him tightly.

His body was ice cold, and he was trembling like a leaf.

"It's alright, it's alright, I'm here, I'm here..."

Yan Ning patted his back forcefully.

The sound was played very softly.

She felt a mix of emotions, a deep, bittersweet feeling.

Under everyone's watchful eyes.

Yan Ning held Xie Huaiye's cold hand tightly.

Half supporting, half carrying.

They led him away from the dangerous rooftop step by step.

I returned to that ward that smelled of disinfectant.

Doctors and nurses immediately surrounded them to conduct an examination.

On the other side.

Director Wang's expression was grave.

They quietly pulled Ren Xuelan and Xie Heng to a secluded spot in the corridor.

"Mr. Xie's situation is much more complicated and serious than we had anticipated."

Director Wang lowered his voice, his brows furrowed, "His dependence on Miss Yan Ning has gone beyond the scope of normal companionship."

"As you all saw just now, it was entirely due to extreme psychological attachment and separation anxiety."

"This is no longer something that can be solved by simple visitation."

Xie Heng asked nervously, "Then, Director Wang, what do you mean?"

Director Wang pondered for a moment, then looked directly at Ren Xuelan and Xie Heng.

The suggestion was made in a serious tone:

"For the patient's safety, and for the continuity and stability of treatment, my professional advice is..."

"Have Miss Yan Ning move in temporarily and live with Mr. Xie."

"The best approach is to stay with him 24 hours a day. This is currently the most effective way to stabilize his emotions and prevent extreme behavior from happening again."

"What?!

Ren Xuelan felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

Her eyes widened instantly, and she almost screamed:

"Living together? With that girl?! Director Wang, are you sure you're not mistaken? This is absolutely unacceptable! What kind of behavior is this?!"

Her face was full of resistance.

It was as if this suggestion would tarnish the Xie family's reputation.

Director Wang had anticipated this.

He adjusted his glasses, his tone characteristically calm of a doctor:

“Madam, I understand your concerns, but please calm down and think about what just happened.”

"Mr. Xie was standing on the edge of the rooftop, and not even ten oxen could pull him back. Why did he come down immediately as soon as Miss Yan Ning arrived?"

"This is not a coincidence; it is a strong psychological dependence and survival instinct!"

"His current mental state is like that of an insecure toddler who only recognizes Miss Yan Ning as his safe haven."

"Forcibly separating them is tantamount to pushing him off a cliff again."

He paused, then emphasized:
