Lu Yi was dead.
Just a few days ago, Lu Yi warned him to stay alert, and urged him to stay close with his family when it rained heavily, as it might lead to a flood. However, Lu Yi failed to stay alert himself.
He threw himself into the rising flood. Though he was a doctor, capable of saving lives, he was not gifted with the ability to bring back the dead, let alone those missing people whose corpses could not be found. How could he bring them back alive?
Lei Qingyi crouched on the ground as he produced a cigarette and proceeded to light it up.
"It's a hospital ward," He Yibin reminded him. "You can't smoke here."
"I'm sorry, I forgot about it." Lei Qingyi doused the cigarette, but he lingered in the same position.
He felt uneasy without taking a smoke. So, he sucked the doused cigarette that was sitting in between his fingers. Although the cigarette no longer gave out any smoke, he felt like it eased his addiction a little.
