The noble lady always has a little intuition

As soon as the Carpathia arrived in New York and registered with the White Star Line guards at the port, Carl, Olivia and his party avoided the media who wanted to be interviewed with the help of the crew of the Canard Line, and then He left in the car sent by the Hockley family.

Since Edgar and the others will come to the United States soon, and they will still be interviewed by the media after Olivia recovers, Karl did not bring them back to Philadelphia, but to Hockley's real estate in New York inside.

As Karl had telegraphed the order when they were on board, the doctor was already waiting in the drawing room when they arrived at the Hockley house, and exquisite desserts were set on the dining room table.

After the doctor had finished seeing Olivia, who had almost recovered from her cold and had some bruises on the back of her left hand, everyone went to the restaurant together, but because they had all used it on the Carpathia before After a simple dinner, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening, so after drinking some hot cocoa and eating some pastries, Olivia and the three of them followed the maids to their guest room to rest.

Since the Carpathia was just an ordinary passenger ship, the bathroom equipment in the room was not very good, and she had a fever and fell ill during the few days on board, so she asked the maid to prepare hot water for her as soon as she arrived in the room.

After taking a good hot bath and feeling much more comfortable, Olivia put on her nightgown and lay down on the bed. It's just that she took a long nap on the boat in the morning, so she doesn't feel sleepy now. So she picked up the "Phantom of the Opera" novel that she had been reading and rereading recently, and revisited the last two chapters.

When she was halfway through the book, she suddenly heard a knock on the door. After taking a bath, she drove Ellie to rest. She could only take the nightgown on the side and put it on, then got up and opened the door.

Originally thinking that the person coming would be Eleanor or Audrey, she was surprised when she saw Carl. After all, although he used telegrams to deal with American business every day when he was on the Titanic and Carpathia, but There must still be many things in the United States that require him to deal with them in person, so in her imagination, he should have stayed in the study and stayed up late to work after resting on the Carpathia during the day, instead of standing in front of him like he is now. her door.

Olivia blinked at him in confusion, "What's up so late, Karl?"

Noticing that she had shrunk the collar of her nightgown because of the cold wind in the corridor, Carl quickly led her into the room and closed the door behind him.

"Eleanor sent a maid to tell me that she was worried that you were so busy reading that you didn't go to bed on time, and asked me to come and see you after finishing my work, so I came here..." Carl turned his head when he said this Looking at the novel she had spread out on the quilt, she rubbed her head helplessly and pamperingly, "You just recovered from illness, you should have a good rest!"

His behavior of being too close and treating himself like a child made Olivia very uncomfortable. After turning her head to avoid his hand, she sat on the side of the bed and looked at him with folded arms, "No need Are you busy with work?"

"The more important ones have been dealt with first, and the rest can be left for tomorrow..."

While talking, Karl noticed that Olivia forgot to put on her slippers because she rushed to the door to open the door for him just now, her feet just stepped on the dark red carpet, which made her small feet even whiter.

Feeling that his mouth was dry suddenly, Carl swallowed reflexively, then quickly walked to the bedside and picked her up horizontally, put her whole body on the bed, and put the novel aside, for her Covered with a quilt.

Olivia, whose face was flushed from the moment she was picked up by him, immediately grabbed the corner of the quilt after sitting on the bed again, "Okay, I'm going to sleep, if you don't worry, you You can take the book back."

"No, I'll stay here tonight." After finishing speaking, Carl didn't wait for her to answer, he went around and lay down on the other side of the bed, looked at her with one hand supporting his head, and put one hand on her waist.

Although she had been forced to share the bed with him on the Titanic, Olivia still couldn't get used to it. She moved to the other side when she saw his eyes beckoning her to lie down together. And frowned and said: "You promised me, Karl, as long as you don't have my permission, you won't do this again..."

Originally thought that after the Titanic incident, she would not reject such closeness, so Carl, who was frustrated by her current reaction, could only sit up, and lowered his head to kiss her frowning brows, "Levi, let me stay..."

Being called by such a nickname, Olivia's blushing face became hot again, and feeling that her thoughts had been shaken, Karl turned the bedside lamp into a weak light yellow light, and led her Lie on the bed together and pull the quilt to cover the two of them, then hold her in his arms.

His gaze made Olivia completely sleepless, so she turned her back to him, and she closed her eyes slowly until there was no movement behind her and the breathing on her head calmed down.

After a good night's rest and a morning, Carl agreed to be interviewed and invited reporters from the two largest newspapers in the UK and the US to come in.

Since the reporters had already interviewed several first-class passengers last night, the captain of the Carpathia, several crew members and several third-class passengers, they knew that the Carpathia had an accident on the Titanic They were called by Olivia in the first three days. They knew that it was Olivia who instructed the Carpathia to prepare lifeboats in advance so that so many people could be rescued. They knew that they could count them so quickly. The list of victims is because Olivia brought the passenger list and crew list to the Carpathia. They knew that Carl helped the crew direct the passengers to the lifeboat after the Titanic hit the iceberg. He even stayed on the Titanic. to the end...

At first, the reporters praised Olivia and Karl one after another, and then they asked why Olivia called Carpathia over suddenly.

"My parents died in a shipwreck more than four years ago," Olivia glanced at the two reporters in the UK when she was speaking, and saw that they remembered that incident After nodding, she continued, "So when I visited the top deck of the Titanic and heard that there were less than half of the lifeboats on board, I was very disturbed. When I got back to the room, I immediately asked someone to generate electricity. Report to contact my brother, hoping that he can send another ship over.”

While she was talking to the reporters, she recorded what she said. After finishing writing, the reporters turned to ask Carl. After all, according to the first-class passengers, if it wasn’t for Carl’s persuasion, many first-class male passengers would not I would like to sit on the lifeboat, and if it weren't for the help of those men, the rescue work would not have progressed so quickly.The crew also said that Carl gave them a lot of advice when transferring the passengers to the Carpathia, such as letting the third-class passengers divide into a team of 62 people, so that no one would cry because of separation. It delayed the escape time, like asking people to move the food and medicine to the deck first, so the crew had a way to transport those supplies away at the end.

"Except for the third-class passengers to be divided into groups first, my fiancée told me the rest," Carl reached out to shake the hand of Olivia sitting next to him, "I just An ordinary person, she is a genius..."

Hearing what he said, Olivia's face instantly became hot. When she looked up to meet his affectionate eyes, she quickly turned her head away, and pulled her hand back pretending to be calm, and then picked up the table. I drank the black tea.

Because they were still surprised by the relationship between what they heard just now, the reporters didn't notice the small movements between the two of them. After they recovered, a British reporter asked as a representative: "Why is Miss Campbell in How did you come up with the countermeasures in such an emergency?"

"For the same reasons as before, after my parents passed away, my brother and I were sad, and on top of that, we were also sad, we wanted to know exactly what happened on the boat, why did it happen when more than half of the passengers My parents lost their lives when both were rescued, so we asked the survivors a lot about the boat. After getting the answers, I began to think about what I should do to save my parents. I have never forgotten the method I came up with at the time, but it is a pity that it didn't help me much this time..."

The reporters quickly said no, and praised her foresight, but Karl raised his hand to wrap her shoulders in distress, stroking her arms.

Seeing that Olivia's eyes were shining with water when she was talking, the reporters couldn't ask this question carefully, so they could only move the topic to the fact that the first-class passengers were raising funds to give to the crew of the Carpathia. About awarding medals and bonuses, and asking if Olivia and Carl would join.

After taking a deep breath to calm down, Olivia replied: "I will not participate in the fundraising, but as one of the shareholders of Canard Shipping, our Campbell family will give the captain and the crew two month's salary as a bonus."

"Neither will I," Karl replied, "The captain of the Carpathia told us that if the crew in the boiler room and engine room on the Titanic hadn't stuck to their posts and kept venting the high-pressure steam in the boiler, the boiler would be on the way." It will explode when it touches the sea water, and we and other passengers may sink into the sea with the Titanic before the Carpathia arrives... So, I plan to pay a sum of money for the families of those cabin crew pension."

Because they had previously interviewed the surviving crew on the Titanic and heard them cry and mourn for the death of their colleagues working in the engine room, the reporters could also understand and appreciate Olivia and Carl's approach.

After asking a few more questions about them on the Titanic and the Carpathia, and taking a group photo of them, the reporters packed up their cameras and notebooks and prepared to leave. Before the report is published, the press release must be sent to them for review.

When Carl sent the reporters out, the last American reporter who had interviewed Carl and had friendship with Carl suddenly stopped, walked to his side and said, "Someone I know is at the White House. I heard the news that President Taft is planning to invite you, Mr. Hockley, Miss Campbell, and Captain Ross to the White House, and Congress plans to award you medals.”

Hearing what he said, Karl was overjoyed. After patting him on the shoulder and promising to treat him to dinner, Karl immediately returned to the living room and shared the good news he had just heard with Olivia.

Compared to his excitement, Olivia seemed very calm. After all, she had been in and out of Buckingham Palace frequently since she was a child. When she went abroad with her parents, she had also been to the palaces of Belgium and Denmark and met the royal families there, so she I don't think it's a big deal to meet with the president at the White House.

After putting down the teacup in her hand, she looked at Carl who was pacing back and forth because of excessive excitement with a strange expression, "Are you happy?"

"Of course! That's the president!" In order to let her feel his joy, Carl walked directly in front of her, pulled her up from the chair, hugged her around several times, and then put her down again. Kissed her hard several times on the lips, "Honey, you are really my goddess of luck!"

The author has something to say:

This Wednesday, I received a bunch of website short messages again, and the text I changed before was locked again and asked me to change it

I'm so tired that I don't want to change it anymore, because it's changed this time, so what, I may continue to lock it soon (╯‵*′)╯︵┴─┴

There is also a kind of idea that I don’t want to continue to code the serialized text, because it may start to be locked after the end

I don't understand why Jinjiang wastes manpower and money in such a way that people keep re-examining articles that have been completed for many years. ? ? ! ! ! !
