The door was locked, Carl sank, and stepped back to let Lovejoy open the door.Lovejoy took out the door key and opened the door. The fire in the fireplace was still alive. Carl walked in and yelled "Emily" a few times.But the room was empty, without any human voice.

"Where is she?" Cal gasped under his breath, and he found his fingers stiff and his skin numb.This is a fear overreaction, where is Emily?Didn't those two idiots say that Emily was still waiting for him in the room?What about that person?

If they were separated, Karl could hardly imagine the consequences.

"There's no one here." Lovejoy came out of Ruth's bedroom, very quickly making sure that there was no one else in the room but them.

Cal anxiously circled back and forth a few times. He had to calm down. Emily wasn't on the deck above, or in the room, so where else would she be?

where is she?

There was no way to calm down, Karl had never been so scared.He didn't even trust Lovejoy's judgment, and he wished Emily was still waiting for him somewhere in the room so they could meet again.

If he had known that the damn ship would sink tonight, he wouldn't have stepped out of the room so they wouldn't be separated.

"She should go up, let's find her up there." Lovejoy couldn't bear Carl's delay, he grabbed Carl's arm and was about to drag him out.

Karl finally broke free from that flustered state, he barely calmed down, and the fear in his eyes did not fade away.He opened and closed his lips twice before speaking with difficulty like taking a deep breath, "I know, Emily probably won't be able to wait for me, so I went up there. Let's go find her and get on the lifeboat right away, there is no time to waste After speaking, he shook off Lovejoy's hand, walked to the safe, opened the cabinet familiarly, and stuffed the valuable heart of the ocean, two important contracts, and some cash into the coat pocket .

The skirt worn by Emily slipped out, and Carl stared at it blankly, as if he could see her white side face sitting in front of the fireplace mirror, the focused and clean beauty was like a painting.

He never knew that falling in love with someone may only take a second, or even just an eye contact, and he will fall completely.

Carl tucks his skirt back patiently, then blinks, trying to look normal.He turned around and walked out, his footsteps were vain.The fact that she hadn't been found made Carl's heart palpitate. Anything could happen in this chaotic time.You may meet criminals from third class, you may be pushed into the sea, or get lost, or disappear...

Then Emily would disappear from his life completely, and this terrible vision could almost drive Carl crazy.

"Where will she be?" Carl almost hated Ruth, because she was safe on deck with her little lover, but he and Emily were separated.

"I'll help you find her, but we need to find the lifeboat first." Lovejoy followed behind him. The longer the time dragged on, the more chaotic it would be, and the less likely it was that we could find Emily.

"Yes, the lifeboat." Of course Carl knew the important conditions for survival. He walked out of the room and rushed into the elevator. This was his first reaction after getting anxious. He was used to taking the elevator.The waiter was going to stop the elevator, but Karl was too vicious to resist him, so he had to send him up again.

"Damn it, where is Emily?" Carl yelled furiously, he reached out and took out his watch, looking down at the time.And the moment he lowered his head, a figure quickly ran over to the outside of the rising elevator fence, and his blond hair drew a neat trace in the air.

Lovejoy hesitated when he saw the figure running past, but finally lowered his eyelids in silence.And Carl, who didn't see anything, was still muttering, "Emily..."

The deck was even more chaotic than before, and the crew and guards ran out to maintain order. Facing the passengers huddled together like ants, Carl said in despair, "Why don't they just jump into the sea."

"There is still a boat ahead." Lovejoy pointed to the bow, which was the starboard deck, and the first officer was letting the male passengers onto the boat, because all the women and children had already boarded.

"What's the use of having a boat, we haven't found Emily yet." Carl walked to the side of the boat and looked down. There was a dense crowd sitting in the lifeboat, the rope of the winch was lowered dangerously, and some male passengers on the lower deck were desperately He tried to jump into the lifeboat, but was pushed back by the rowing crew.

This kind of scene is close to riots, and it cannot be stopped without force.

The crew on the lifeboat fired into the sky without hesitation, scaring the men who were trying to overturn the lifeboat.

"It's a mess, time is running out." This kind of scene would only happen at the end of the road. Carl left the railing and nervously searched among the crowd. "Emily, Emily..." He caught a blond woman and went to see it, but was almost slapped.

"If you don't get on the lifeboat now, you may not have a chance." Lovejoy saw that the lifeboat carrying the man was almost full, and he reached out and grabbed Carl's clothes, and dragged him to the side of the boat.

How could Carl let Lovejoy get what he wanted? Just as he was about to struggle, the old servant calmed him down with a few words.

"Do you think Emily will still be waiting for you on the boat? She's a woman, and she could have gotten into the lifeboat long ago. She should be on a small boat at sea. You didn't find her in the room because she was already in the lifeboat. .”

It sounds very in line with the development of human nature. Normal people would not stay on the Titanic at this time, and Emily knew that the ship would sink before anyone else, so the possibility of her going directly to the lifeboat is very high.

"Let's get on the lifeboat as soon as possible. This is the most correct choice." Like a wizard, Lovejoy slowly coaxed the flustered Carl, hoping to push him onto the lifeboat.

Carl looked devastated, and his reason told him that Emily really got into the lifeboat and left, because normal people would make this choice.But on the other hand, he felt empty inside, because if Emily didn't worry about him leaving by herself, it proved that Emily didn't love him.

She didn't love him, and even though he was madly in love, Emily wasn't really in love with him.

This fact made Carl lose the energy to continue searching, and he somewhat believed Lovejoy's words that Emily might throw him into the lifeboat.He staggered and almost fell into the lifeboat. The crew member said loudly, "I'm going into the water, get up quickly." If there are no women or children in sight, then every man who can go up is counted as one.

"Go up." Lovejoy took his arm and pushed him up step by step.

A distress rocket soared into the sky, bursting into beautiful flowers above everyone's heads.This light woke Karl up, and he looked forward, through the endless crowd, to see the big ship on the verge of death.He clearly realized that if he didn't get on the lifeboat, then he would die in the sea with these messy people.

These third-class rats, the bottom class he hated most.

Disgusted by the consequences, he instinctively retreated into the lifeboat, wanting to stay away from the doomed cruise ship.The crew raised their hands and roared, "Go into the water, hurry up."

The lifeboat swayed for a while, Carl looked down at the lifeboat, then he looked at the deck in a daze, trying to see Emily.But he saw nothing, and looked back at the boat floating on the sea.

"Crazy." Carl tried to convince himself that Emily was on the lifeboat, but the accompanying fear did not leave.What if...she's still on board?

When he came back to his senses, Carl found that he had jumped out of the lifeboat, and then he walked into the crowd automatically. His spirit was highly concentrated. If Emily appeared in the crowd, even if she was dressed in the same shabby clothes as the first time they met Sack, Karl also believed to recognize her immediately.

"Mr. Hockley?" Lovejoy called to him as the lifeboat was lowered behind him.

Carl didn't have time to ignore the calls of others. He turned back to Lovejoy emotionally and said, "I'm going to find her. Emily is waiting for me."

A kind of extreme madness appeared on his face. Carl looked like a desperate gambler, and his reason told him that Emily had already boarded the lifeboat.But he couldn't believe the greatest possibility at all, what if she still stayed on the big ship?They will be completely separated and never find each other.

They have only known each other for a few days, they still have a long life, and he still has a lot of things that he hasn't had time to give her.

They are in love.

"We're in love." Carl finally yelled out, fearing that others would repeat in disbelief, "Emily won't leave me."

Lovejoy,...

Lovejoy then watched helplessly as his shrewd employer ran into the crowd, and three seconds later Carl ran back from the crowd.Just when Lovejoy thought he was repenting, Carl rushed in front of him without saying a word, and grabbed his suit jacket with his young and strong hand. Before he could stop him, Carl had already drawn his pistol.

"I'll go and get rid of Andrew who is in the way. If you want to run for your life, go." Carl's eyes were red, and he put the gun in his pocket fiercely and said to him.Then he turned around and ran, and when he saw a blonde woman or a blonde man, he would bother him, and this time he received an excited slap as he wished.

The old poodle told himself not to slander his employer, after all he was a professional.But he couldn't bear it anymore and he still said out loud, "It's too stupid."

It's not easy to be so stupid in a relationship.

Finally, he finally gave up and pulled his employer back. Lovejoy said loudly to Carl in the distance: "I saw her below, and she went back to the room to find you."

It is a miracle that both of them are lacking in IQ and can make a pair.

Those who should get on the lifeboat will not get on, and those who should escape will kill people... The old poodle said that he finds it difficult to understand the world of young people.

When Carl heard this, a flash of joy flashed across his face, and he rushed into the large inclined staircase without saying a word.Lovejoy stood where he was, and the crowd knocked him against the railing. He watched the lifeboats rowing farther and farther in the distance. The starry sky tonight was unnaturally beautiful.Then Lovejoy took out a cigarette and lit it silently. He bent his straight body, as if he had aged ten years all of a sudden.

Carl finally didn't get on the elevator this time. He knew clearly that his chance of survival was lost with time.Death was like some kind of dormant beast, which made him tremble before it came.The sound of the water was more inappropriate than ever. He had seen the blueprints and of course knew that the e-layer deck must be flooded. There was a passage running through the whole ship on that deck. Once the water was on the e-layer, it could basically spread to the whole ship without hindrance.Originally, the top floor of the water-proof cabin could be higher, but for the decoration of the grand staircase, the water-proof cabin was modified to be lower.

Now these gorgeous gadgets are useless at all, he can't wait to bite off a piece of the White Star Company, how can this broken ship be so badly built.

"Emily." Carl returned to the empty hallway, where there was no one there.The pressure of life and death can make him feel broken. Carl looked in the corridor, but he still didn't see anyone.

For a few seconds, he was so weak that he almost ran away, because the sound of the water was getting closer, and there was still time to escape.He had noticed the number of lifeboats, and the four collapsible boats should not have been put into the water yet.As long as he runs up now, he has the possibility of being rescued.

Cold sweat slid down his cheeks, Karl reached out to wipe it off, and he took a few steps back.Cowardice mixed with courage, he breathlessly began to count how much time was left.

Shipwreck... Emily said it was two o'clock in the morning, and now it was... He opened the watch cover with trembling fingers, it was one forty-five.

Running out of time, Carl reached into his pocket, which contained Lovejoy's pistol.That guy Andrew is really lucky, you can't touch him anyway.Turning around and running out of the corridor, there was the sound of water under the big stairs, and soon the ship would be crushed by the sea water.

The ornate chandeliers were not extinguished, and this daytime glow gave a false hope.Karl looked around, the place was terribly quiet, and he could almost feel the atmosphere of the tomb early.

"Emily..." Carl yelled, he had never found it so difficult to find someone.The slanted hull made him unable to stand stably. Karl staggered and stepped on a doll, feeling irritable, he kicked the doll out viciously.

The doll fell down the stairs with its head and body separated, and Karl watched it fall unconsciously.Then he saw that there seemed to be someone below, a man... He was lying on the side of the stairs in a dark overcoat, but he couldn't see the other half, and the life and death of others was not Karl's business.

In his view, now this ship can kill a stranger, so that the position of the lifeboat can be kept as long as possible.Carl called again, "Emily."

No one answered.

"Emily." The call was in his mouth, and Carl panted abnormally, and he thought of the man below by a ghost. If he asked, he might get news from Emily.Then he grabbed the banister of the stairs, leaned over the edge of the stairs and poked his head out, intending to ask him just like that on the stairs.

He saw that the water had come up from below, and then he saw the dark coat slowly soaking in the water, and a few strands of blond hair.

Karl,...

He thought he was hallucinating. The probability of Emily wearing a men's overcoat, a three-piece suit, and leaning crookedly on the stairwell covered in blood was almost impossible.

She was as quiet as dead, with a kind of weak and excessive paleness on her face.Carl's whole body was stiff, and he didn't dare to move his eyeballs to look at her. His mind went blank, and he even felt that he was actually the one who died.

He walked two steps slowly and almost fell on the stairs.Waking up suddenly, Carl ran frantically down the stairs, calling her name loudly.

"Emily."

She seemed to hear, and then Karl saw her open her eyes and look up slowly at him.In the humid water vapor, the light green under her eyes has a warm temperature, affectionate and focused.

This look is so real and beautiful that even death does not seem terrible.

Carl suddenly wanted to cry, just because she was still alive.Stepping on the icy sea water, he finally came to her side.Carl reached out and held her tightly in his arms, as if holding a lost and regained life.

"Fool," she murmured, laughing.

Cal hugged her and shivered, the water kept pouring in, and he realized that nothing mattered anymore.Living is not important, wealth is not important, it is enough for him to hold her.
