A Vengeful Girl

Chapter 147 The Aborted Suicide Attempt

Linda watched the teenager sitting on the balcony of the fifth floor of the teaching building. There were

no security guards around. She was afraid that the boy would jump off the building at any time.

"Mr. principal. Have you called the police?" Linda asked.

The principal was overwhelmed with anxiety. Then only he realized that they hadn't informed the police

yet.

"Call the police and firemen, now!"

Linda said loudly.

Bonny had run to the back of the teaching building and was thinking about climbing along the balconies

to the roof. Linda was worried about Bonny and the student who might jump from the building at any

time. So it's necessary to call firemen to unfold a protecting net below.

By that way, the possibility of casualty could be avoided.

The teaching building's outer walls had balconies, iron shelves for air-conditioners, windows and water

pipes.

Bonny was going to step on these to climb up to the fifth floor.

It was very dangerous, especially since she had no protective gear.

Bonny had received training to do this kind of climbing when she was in the army. But it was a long

time ago.

So she was a little worried.

Bonny rolled up her sleeves, stretched her body and, then, started to climb.

At that time, the crowd gathered in front of the building. So no one noticed Bonny.

Let alone John Lee.

Feeling worried, Linda kept staring at Bonny who was climbing up. Luckily, Bonny was skillful enough.

Soon, she set her left foot on the back balcony of the fifth floor and rolled over into the building.

Then she tiptoed to John Lee who was sitting on the front balcony with an A4 paper in his hands, which

was likely to be his self-criticism letter, and swinging his feet.

John looked up at the sky, took a long sigh and closed his eyes. He was depressed.

Bonny approached John Lee discreetly. She grabbed John's waist and dragged him out of the balcony.

John Lee was struggling and trying to get out of Bonny's grasp, "Who are you! Loosen me!"

"You can't do that. You are so young. There are a lot of wonderful things waiting for you." Bonny said.

"I don't care. I don't want to live anymore. Please let go of me!" John Lee yelled.

"No. You will regret!"

Bonny's eyes turned red and her brows wrinkled suddenly, as she thought about her own experience.

She also thought about committing suicide after her father was executed secretly. But she managed to

get past that difficult period.

In her view, suicide was something that cowards do.

Finally, Bonny persuaded John Lee to refrain from committing suicide. John Lee stopped struggling and

sat on the floor, crying. He loosened his hand. The self-criticism letter flew away with the wind. It waved

to and fro, and finally fell beside the parterre on the first floor.

Linda was seeing all this. She felt relieved. She trotted to the parterre and picked up the self-criticism © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

letter.

The handwriting was careless. Apparently, John Lee didn't want to write this letter at all.

The principal and the other teachers and students also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Director Li, call John Lee's parents and ask them to take John Lee home. He is a hidden trouble. How

about discussing with his parents about his suspension of schooling."

Getting suspended from school was something extremely cruel for a student. Linda thought for a while

and said, "Mr. principal, we haven't figured out what exactly happened. How about letting me talk to

John Lee first. After all, I am the psychology teacher. Maybe I can comfort him."

After hesitating for a while, the principal said, "Miss Xia. John Lee was suicidal. I think his situation is

more serious than being depressive. Maybe he..."

Linda was disappointed to hear the principal's words.

"Mr. principal, as a psychology teacher, I know how to help him. I think it isn't advisable to suspend a

student recklessly."

The principal, an educator himself, realized that what Linda just said made sense.

So he said, "All right. Miss Xia. Please talk to John Lee. I hope he will be OK."

Bonny was pushing John Lee to go downstairs.

"Why do you try to kill yourself? What's the big deal? Is it because of that self-criticism letter? Don't be

stupid!"

On the way downstairs, Bonny grasped John Lee's hand, as if to prevent John Lee from fleeing away

and trying to commit suicide again.

"You aren't me. You can't understand how I feel now." John Lee spoke.

"Maybe I can't feel your pain. But I once experienced something a hundred times worse than yours and

I didn't try to suicide." Bonny replied.

Hearing Bonny's words, John Lee raised his head and looked at her. Bonny's new. He hadn't seen

Bonny before.

But he was in deep depression. He had no mood to ask who Bonny was or what misfortune did Bonny

experience.

They finally reached the first floor. Bonny took John Lee to Linda, "My lady. Lucky me and him."

"Well done. Bonny." Linda said. Then she turned to the principal, "Mr. Principal. I am taking John Lee to

my office. Please ask director Li to call his parents to my office."

"OK." The principal said.

Linda looked down at John Lee who kept his head down and said nothing throughout.

"Come with me. Have you had your lunch?" Linda held John Lee's hand and dragged him to her office.

John Lee was a little surprised to hear Linda's caring words. He shook his head.

"Bonny. Buy some food and deliver it to my office."

"Yes, My Lady."

Linda took John Lee to her office. She pointed to the sofa and said, "Don't worry. Have a seat."
