The noble lady always has a little intuition
Chapter 26 26
Lying in the warm blanket, Karl tried to sleep for a while. After all, at one o'clock in the morning, he was going to move to the Carpathia with Olivia and the others. Although Lai Fujie and Brooke were there, he Still have to share some responsibility for caring for the three ladies.
Originally, he was supposed to go to bed earlier, but there was a lot of noise and crying in the aisle after nine o'clock. He opened the door a little and looked outside, only to find that the noise was Davis cursing Mrs. Bookett. The voice of a woman, the crying is Rufu begging Davis not to break off the engagement, and Ruth yelling not to let the security team take Jack away.
Although he previously asked Lai Fujie to go to Davis to inform him, he did not insist after Lai Fujie came back and reported that he had searched the restaurant and smoking room of the first-class cabin but could not find anyone, but now it seems that Ruth and Jack still did not escape. this time.
He asked Lai Fujie to find out what happened, and it didn't take long for him to know the cause and effect.
When he returned to the room and saw the bedroom with clothes scattered all over the floor, Davis, who was worried that his things would be stolen, immediately checked his safe, and then he found that there was another one in the heart of the ocean and tens of thousands of dollars in cash. A sketch of Ruth wearing nothing but a heart of the ocean, with Jack's initials in the lower right corner, and along with the sketch is a sheet that reads "You can lock my portrait and necklace in your safe " note.
When Davis saw the sketch and the note, he was furious. He first asked himself to "invite" Ruf over for the maid hired by the Bucket mother and daughter, and then paid a lot of tips to let his manservant Take the security team to search for Ruth and Jack.
After almost half an hour, Ruth and Jack were brought back by the servants and the security team, both of them disheveled.According to the manservant who found them, they found them on the bottom deck. When Ruth and Jack were found, they had just finished a fierce sexual intercourse and were lying on the grounds of Gu Genhai, one of the richest Americans. Tom's car to enjoy the warm and sweet atmosphere afterwards.
Seeing some obvious red spots on Ruth's neck, Davis couldn't take it anymore and broke off the engagement directly. He also framed Jack for stealing his diamond-encrusted watch locked in the safe, and asked the security team to take Jack away. up.
After hearing the ins and outs of the whole incident, Carl became more and more disgusted with Ruth. Obviously Olivia had given her a lot of advice, but she still recklessly treated her fiancé without breaking the engagement and paying back the debt. loyal.In addition, because he saw Ruth and Jack kissing in the evening, Carl thought that Davis would break off the engagement with Ruth sooner or later. After painting a nude painting, he no longer has any interest in the diamond.
Out of the psychology of watching a good show, Carl asked Lai Fujie to inquire about the follow-up situation. He didn't let Lai Fujie go until he heard that Davis had driven the Buckett mother and daughter out of the room and left them nothing but a few clothes. Going to rest, while he himself took off his suit jacket and prepared to go to bed for a nap.
Just when he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly heard a loud voice coming from outside the bedroom. After a few seconds, he realized that it was the voice of Olivia and Ellie talking, and Olivia Livia's tone was obviously anxious.This kind of cognition made him wake up in an instant when his head was still a little groggy. He got out of bed quickly, took the overcoat that was on the back of the chair, and opened it again a few hours ago while putting on the clothes. The connecting door to Olivia's room.
Seeing Olivia anxiously wanting to leave the room, Ellie stopped her while putting warm clothes on her body, Carl, who didn't know what happened, asked in confusion: "What's wrong? What happened? "
"I want to go out and have a look... I don't know what to say, I suddenly have a feeling..."
While speaking, Olivia's hand clutching the clothes on his chest was still trembling, which reminded him that she had a similar reaction when they visited the top deck where the lifeboats were placed a few days ago.
Even though he was skeptical about her premonition, in order to reassure her, he went back and changed into a thicker coat, and then left the room with her.
As soon as Olivia left the room, disregarding etiquette and elegance, she raised her skirt and started running directly towards the stairs leading to the deck. This made Carl who was following her have no time to stop her and could only chase after her. Run together from behind.
After arriving on the deck, Olivia stopped, and even though she was wearing a heavy coat, Carl, who was standing a few steps behind her, could still see that she was shaking, and he quickly stepped forward to grab her shoulders, " What's the matter, honey? Are you cold?"
Olivia didn't answer him, but just looked ahead in horror, which made him frown, and followed her line of sight, and then he saw an iceberg about as high as the Titanic, and The ship is heading towards the iceberg.
Not long after, he heard a loud order from the upper deck to the crew to turn the ship. He remembered hearing that voice, but now his head was confused and he couldn't tell whether it belonged to the first officer or the first officer. of.
Seeing the iceberg getting closer and closer, Karl could only hold Olivia's shoulder tightly with one hand, and hold her uninjured right hand with the other, and kept praying in his heart that the ship could turn around in time.
Although it was just a few minutes, it seemed to him that a century had passed. In the end, the bow of the ship turned, but the side of the ship did not avoid it, and just passed by the towering iceberg.
Feeling the huge vibration under their feet due to the impact, many ice chips grazed their cheeks, and large and small ice cubes fell around them. Karl was stunned facing the iceberg because of such a huge change.
"Carl, Carl...Carl!"
"Don't worry, Olivia, the Titanic is the strongest ship, so we'll be fine..." Olivia's call brought the overwhelmed Karl back to his senses, and he tried to say something To appease her, but his tone was very weak.
Although Olivia tried her best to keep calm, her voice was still trembling uncontrollably: "No, judging from the shock caused by the impact just now, the situation may be much worse, I'm afraid... I need to go back and send a telegram To the Carpathia, confirm her current location..."
Hearing what she said, Carl belatedly remembered that the Carpathia would come between midnight and one o'clock in the morning.Even though there was still a glimmer of hope in his heart that the Titanic would be fine, but after realizing that there was a way out, his hanging heart was relieved a lot. He couldn't help but kissed her somewhat cold cheek, "I'll go to the captain and Mr. Andrews to confirm the situation, you and Eleanor and the others don't leave the room until I go back."
After confirming that Olivia nodded, he immediately ran back, and then Karl quickly walked to the top deck where the captain's cabin was located.
When he arrived at the captain's cabin, Andrews just ran over with a bunch of blueprints in his arms, and not far behind him was Ismay in a nightgown.
Since the sale of shares to Ismay was carried out in Ismay's suite yesterday, the people present still thought that Karl was one of the shareholders of White Star Shipping and did not invite him out, while Ismay was Because of the violent vibration of the Titanic just now, he was restless, and he had no intention of caring about things other than the conversation between Captain Smith and Andrews.
Carl couldn't understand the technical terms used by Captain Smith and Andrews from time to time, but he understood that the Titanic can only withstand flooding in four watertight compartments at most, and five compartments have been flooded so far. The pumping speed of the combination can't keep up with the speed of sea water coming in, so the Titanic will definitely sink.
After quickly writing and drawing a few calculations in the corner of the design drawing, Andrews said in a heavy tone: "One hour...at most two hours, the ship will definitely sink."
The conclusion he gave made Ismay completely unacceptable, "How is this possible... I mean, this is the Titanic! The greatest ship in the world!"
"As long as she's made of steel she'll sink..."
The conversation between Ismay and Andrews reminded Carl of himself who had always held blind trust in the Titanic and Olivia who was trying to correct his thoughts. A bit of an overthinking, overreacting version of myself.
At the same time, he was very fortunate that Olivia did not make him agree to sign a contract with White Star Line, that the Hockley family did not provide any steel for the Titanic that was about to sink, and that Olivia had asked him to send White Star Line The shipping shares were all sold, allowing him to make a fortune instead of losing money. Fortunately, Olivia transferred a ship regardless of the cost and trouble, so that he can survive such a severe danger. Great hope of rescue.
Just when Captain Smith ordered the telegraph operator to contact the surrounding ships to see how long it would take to arrive, and when Andrews was worrying that the lifeboats might not be enough, Carl coughed lightly, and then spoke at the fastest speed: "My fiancée The Carpathia was called, and I think Mr. Smith remembers that we were going to move to the Carpathia around midnight. She and I just saw the scene where the Titanic collided with the iceberg, and she Now I have returned to my room and sent a telegram to the captain of the Carpathia to confirm how long it will take for them to arrive..."
Hearing what he said, Captain Smith and the others, who were still in despair, showed expressions of relief. After all, according to the message received by the telegraph operator, even if the nearest ship Californian moved at full speed, it would take two It will take hours to arrive, let alone other ships.
Once it was confirmed that a ship could arrive within the next hour, Captain Smith and the others began to assign tasks to try their best to keep the passengers and crew until the arrival of the Carpathia.When the crew started to move, Karl also left the captain's cabin, ready to return to the cabin as soon as possible to bring Olivia and the others to the top deck. After all, the lifesaving ship can accommodate one-third of the passengers on the Titanic. I hope that Olivia, the others, or herself will need to lie on a door panel that was removed from nowhere and wait for rescue.
When he knocked on the door to open Olivia's room, besides Olivia, Audrey, Eleanor, and their four servants were there, even Lai Fujie was called over, and all of them They were already wearing life jackets and overcoats, and a folded life jacket was placed on the table in the living room.
As soon as she saw him coming in, Olivia immediately put down the teacup used to warm her hands and stood up, while he strode towards her, kissing her cheeks with gratitude and relief on his face, "You are right, dear Yes! The Titanic will sink in two hours at most! You are an angel sent by God to save us!"
Hearing what he said, except for Olivia and Lai Fujie who had more experience in life, the others showed expressions of horror, but because Olivia had mentioned this possibility to them before, they did not They didn't make any other panicked or scared reactions, just held each other's hands.
After letting go of Olivia, Carl took off his coat, and asked Lai Fujie to help him put on the life jacket, "So how long will it take for the Carpathia to arrive?"
"The telegrapher said it was estimated at 12:30, but there were also a lot of ice floes on the channel they were passing, and other ships also sent telegrams to warn them that there were icebergs, so it might be later in the evening..." After biting his lips and thinking for a while, Ou Livia said quickly, "I've already opened the safe for you, as well as the luggage... Judging from the current situation, we may not be able to bring all the luggage up, please check if there are any important documents You must bring something with you, Zoe and Nancy can help you bring it, the women should be the first to get on the lifeboat..."
"thanks……"
Apart from thanking him, Karl didn't know what to say anymore, so after kissing her lips again, he immediately turned and went back to his room to get things.
