The noble lady always has a little intuition

After the lifeboat that Olivia was on was pulled onto the deck by the crew of the Carpathia and the male passenger on the Titanic who was rescued earlier, Ellie, who had been watching from the deck, immediately stepped forward, And while helping her get off the lifeboat, he exclaimed nervously: "Thank God, you are finally here! Mrs. Bedford and Miss Bradford are so worried! Oh, my God, your hands are so cold! With your clothes on, how did you get wet?!"

The crew in charge of commanding the lifeboat that Olivia was sitting in was not very familiar with the lifting operation of the lifeboat. He didn't get the rope hook at the stern in the correct position, so the people on board tried to pull the lifeboat up. At that time, the hook at the other end fell off, and the stern of the lifeboat fell to the sea again. Fortunately, the lifeboat was not more than five feet away from the sea at that time, and the people sitting at the stern did not fall into the sea, but half of them Passengers were soaked by splashes of icy sea water.

Many of the passengers in the other half were soaked. Although Olivia, who was sitting in the center of the hull, had her coat on her left body wet, but because she was still wearing a thick life jacket inside the coat, the dark blue color inside was long. The sleeves of the gown did not get wet.

After reporting her name to the crew in charge of checking her identity, Ellie originally wanted to let Olivia quickly enter the cabin to keep warm, but Olivia just asked Ellie to help her take off her coat and life jacket, and then hurriedly The voice shouted to the crew on the side: "Where is the waiter?! Tell them to bring all the spare blankets! And the electric heaters, put them all in the hall."

As more and more passengers were successfully rescued on the Carpathia, and most of the male passengers began to help lift the lifeboat immediately after boarding the ship, regardless of rest, some crew members on the Carpathia did not need to continue to stay on the deck To help rescue, so after Olivia finished shouting, the captain Luo Shiqiang who had seen her before immediately asked the crew members who were responsible for serving the passengers to do what she said.

After asking the first officer to take over his supervisory work, Luo Shiqiang immediately walked to Olivia's side, and nodded apologetically at her, "Sorry, Miss Campbell, because of the broken ice floating in the sea, we arrived earlier than the expected arrival time." Half an hour late..."

"No, I am very grateful to you. We were rescued because of your timely arrival." After thanking him, Olivia said while looking at the deck on the side where the rescue work was going on, "The Titanic side I have already ordered that a boatload of ingredients and medicines will arrive in the near future. We don’t need to worry about the lack of food for the time being, so please ask the kitchen to prepare simple white bread, hot soup and hot cocoa. After the rescue work Both the crew and the passengers need something to eat. Also, tell the telegraphers to contact the company in the US and ask them to send a supply ship to meet us. We need more food, medicine and blankets... yes Now, let them bring a few boxes of clothes and shoes, both for civilians and first-class passengers, get more suits and women's dresses, and send some tailors."

Although she didn't know why she asked for a suit and a dress, Luo Shiqiang still gestured to the crew who was helping to record, asking him to send a telegram to the telegrapher as she said.

After the crew member left, Luo Shiqiang asked, "Do you need anything else, Miss Campbell?"

Because all her thoughts were on the passengers on the latest lifeboat, Olivia had no way to think carefully about the details that had not been dealt with, so she could only shake her head and reply: "There is no..."

Luo Shiqiang knew a little about the situation of Campbell's family, one of his employers, and Luo Shiqiang, who knew that her fiancé hadn't come from the Titanic, could understand her current mood, so he nodded to her, "Then I'll go and see Look at the situation of the rescue work, if there is a need, Miss Campbell can tell me or any of the officers, and we will follow your instructions."

Not long after he left, Eleanor, who was staying with other first-class female guests at the other end, was brought over by Ellie. She first hugged Olivia excitedly, and then reprimanded: "You should go inside to rest and keep warm now, instead of standing on the deck and blowing the cold wind, Olivia!"

"From the moment the Carpathia participated in the rescue work, I must stay here until the last moment."

Seeing Olivia's serious expression, Eleanor couldn't hold on any longer. After all, except for the child and the passengers whose clothes were splashed by the sea just now, everyone else was staying on the deck despite the cold wind. , Waiting for the arrival of other passengers, and those passengers who entered the cabin did not surround themselves with electric heaters to warm up and rest, but stood by the window and watched the situation on the deck.

After taking off the fur from her neck and wrapping it around Olivia's neck, Eleanor took her to the place where the other female passengers were. Places with a lot of people are easier to warm up.

Whenever a lifeboat full of passengers was pulled up and the passengers reported their names to the crew in charge of registration one by one, Olivia tried to see each passenger clearly, hoping to see Carl or Lai Fujie standing in it .And when a ship full of third-class passengers was pulled up, but Carl and Laforger hadn't appeared yet, she became anxious.

Sensing that she was biting her lower lip tightly, Eleanor quickly held her hand to try to comfort her. Audrey on the side seemed a little puzzled while worrying about Carl's condition, but when she saw another ship When the lifeboat was pulled up and all the third-class male passengers were sitting on it, she couldn't help but ask, "Why hasn't Karl come yet? It stands to reason that the first-class passengers would be the first to get on the lifeboat." , even if he didn’t want to steal the women’s and children’s seats, but now all the women and children should be sent here…”

Hearing what she said, Olivia subconsciously clenched the hand that was not held by Eleanor into a fist, and a sense of guilt sprouted in her heart and became stronger as time went by.

She did give Carl the advice to take advantage of this opportunity and let him assist in the escape of the passengers of the Titanic. After all, he usually gives the impression that he is just a profit-seeking businessman, although the Hockley family sometimes donates money to participate in charity work. But everyone remembers only Mrs. Brown and others who personally devoted themselves to charity work. Although the Titanic crashed into an iceberg this time was an unfortunate accident, it was also a great opportunity for him to earn a good reputation.

However, she originally thought that he, who has rich experience in seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, would immediately get on the lifeboat to escape after a while in the escape work. Unexpectedly, the passengers in the third-class cabin had already boarded the lifeboat one after another. He and Lai Fujie have not yet appeared.If he didn't come back safely in the end, then she who advocated his help must bear the greatest responsibility...

After taking a deep breath to subdue the panic in her heart, Olivia took a few steps forward and asked one of the crew members who was helping to lower the rope: "What time is it?"

Because they saw her talking to the captain just now, the crew quickly swallowed the words asking her not to disturb the rescue work, and hurriedly took out the pocket watch from their pockets, "It's 28:[-], what can I do?"

Olivia didn't answer. In order to avoid commotion, she went directly to Luo Shiqiang after talking to Audrey and Eleanor, and tried to use a calm tone to say: "According to the plan of the designer, Mr. Andrews, It is said that the Titanic can only last until two o'clock at most, how many people have not come yet?"

After asking the second officer next to him, Luo Shiqiang answered: "About 1000 or more than [-] passengers and crew have been successfully transferred to the Carpathia, and there are still eleven lifeboats on the way. A lifeboat is rowing in the direction of the Titanic, so I guess it's still time..."

Just after he finished speaking, the hands of the second officer, who was watching the situation of the Titanic with binoculars, froze for a moment. After a moment of silence, he stammered: "Captain, the bow of the Titanic has sank a little more. Because of this, the red part of the stern is exposed at the bottom..."

Hearing what he said, Olivia hurriedly borrowed his pair of binoculars, and when she saw the obvious tilt of the bow of the Titanic, she could only grit her teeth tightly so as not to scream, "Still There are more than 300 people..."

Before she could finish speaking, the lights of the Titanic flickered suddenly, which made the second officer tremble again, and murmured in a trembling voice: "The boiler room and the engine room may not be able to hold on." How long has it been, and if that side is submerged as well, the Titanic may..."

"What might happen?" Although Olivia had read a lot of books on ships because her parents were dead fishing boats and needed to understand the operation of Canard Shipping, she didn't know more about professional knowledge.

"If no one vents the high-pressure steam in the boiler, then the boiler will explode when it touches the icy sea water, and accelerate the silent speed of the Titanic..." After a long silence, Luo Shiqiang could not help but sigh Tone, "According to the scale of the Titanic, there are at least two hundred crew members in the engine room, and those 200 people may be... so there are probably only more than 100 people who need to be transferred..."

In the end, there was obvious choking in his voice, which caused the second officer's eyes to start to glow. Although Olivia was also infected by their emotions, she still insisted not to let any emotions show. Now face.

While they were talking, several of the eleven lifeboats mentioned by Luo Shiqiang were already under the boat, and Luo Shiqiang and the second officer went to help the final rescue, while Ollie, who was injured in her left hand and had no strength, Wei Ya stood not far behind the crew who was in charge of checking the names.

After the sixth ship was pulled onto the deck, Olivia finally saw Karl and Lai Fujie on the full-stacked boat, but Karl's condition looked very bad, he was pressing his forehead with a handkerchief, and that A clean white handkerchief and the collar of his white shirt were still stained with blood, while Lai Fujie supported him and protected him out of the lifeboat.

Just when she recovered from the realization that Karl was injured, he, who had confirmed his identity with the crew, saw her and called out excitedly, "Olivia!"

Hearing his voice, Olivia ran forward a few steps, but stopped quickly and walked in front of him instead, "How did you get hurt? How do you feel now?"

Since he had been looking at her since just now, Karl didn't miss her excited look when she ran towards him, nor did he ignore the worry and nervousness in her tone when she asked him a question.After feeling disgusted with the nobleman's always pretending to be reserved, he put down the hand holding the handkerchief to press the wound, and instead hugged her tightly, and kept rubbing her cheeks, One kiss after another fell on the ear, forehead, and hair, "It's just a small injury, I'm fine. But you, you're freezing to death, why are you standing on the deck without a coat?"

Because there are many couples crying and hugging each other on the deck, ranging from first class to third class, so Carl and Olivia's behavior is not abrupt, but after being hugged by him, Olivia did not After hesitating for too long, he raised his arms and hugged him back and forth, and said to him softly, "Thank you, thank you for coming here safely..."

Although she spoke endlessly, Carl still guessed what she was thanking for, and he said in a teasing tone while stroking her back: "I haven't changed your title to Mrs. Hockley yet. Before, how could I be willing to die!"

The author has something to say:

sorry carvin

It happened recently that a 70-year-old female regular customer gave me a book first, saying that she was very satisfied with my service attitude, so she wanted to share a book on health preservation with me, and she could keep it for herself or return it to her

Because I am basically not interested in books other than novels, so I returned it to her after a quick look

After having it once, there will be a second time and a third time. In addition to the book, she also gave me a few small things like hair clips, and typed a letter on the computer, saying that she only has a son but no daughter, and the son has no daughter. Caring blablabla

I even called the company once to tell me how to take care of myself, and asked me if I would find her troublesome. Since I was a customer, I could only say no trouble, but I felt very embarrassed.

I ran into her again yesterday when I went to work half a day to support other bureaus. She was very happy and said she would treat me to dinner. I told her that I would go home to eat.She originally wanted me to tell the family that I couldn't go back, but I said that the family was ready.Later, she asked me to call her and said that she would make an appointment with me to have a good chat, but I refused.I rejected it several times, so she left me a phone number instead, and asked me to tell her after thinking about it

I find it annoying and creepy. Although I asked my older colleagues and they said that they might want to introduce her son to me, I still find it horrifying...
