Chapter 56 Then Come to My House
When I pushed the door hard, it seemed as if something was stuck between the two glass doors and I couldn’t open it at all.
I stretched my hand and scratched back and forth in the gap of the glass door, and unexpectedly, I touched a very thick iron chain.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
Yes, someone locked the door with an iron chain.
I don’t understand. Normally, the printing room door is never locked. Why was it suddenly locked today? Moreover, there was a living person like me standing in the room. Couldn’t that person see it? Or was he doing it on purpose…
When I was at my wit’s end, I banged on the door and shouted loudly to the outside.
Unfortunately, there was no movement on the other end, and the silence was so frightening.
It was dark in front of me, dark behind me, dark under my feet and all around me.
The only thing I could see was a tiny skylight at the top of the far side of the room, through which a tiny patch of light shone, but it was of no use.
For some reason, I felt a tightness in my chest and my breathing became difficult. I groped my way to the corner of the wall and squatted down. I held my chest tightly with my right hand and pressed my left hand on the cold ground.
My heartbeat became abnormal and my mind started to run wild with thoughts, as if everything was wrong. I was overwhelmed by fear and hatred, and I kept shaking and feeling anxious.
I tried to touch my shirt pocket, but there was nothing in it. I didn’t bring my cell phone with me when I came out just now.
In a moment of despair, I reached out and patted the glass door again, shouting a few words with a trembling voice, but still to no avail.
Do I have to spend the whole night here? Why was there a sudden power outage here and why no one noticed my existence…
As I thought about it, tears of fear slid down my cheeks. I wiped away the tears, crawled on the ground, and walked to the glass door again. I beat and shouted until my voice was hoarse and my voice broke.
I don’t think anyone will come to save me, even though it’s cold and wet here.
I leaned against the wall, hunched over hard, trying to keep myself warm. As time passed by, my patience was consuming little by little.
I didn’t feel tired, nor did I feel anything particularly uncomfortable in my body. However, the fear in my heart was really terrifying, as if I was going to be swallowed by death in the next second, as if I couldn’t get out of here alive tonight.
I was alone on this floor, there was no sound around, it was pitch black, no one heard my cry for help, and I couldn’t contact anyone outside.
This feeling of being trapped before my eyes is too unbearable.
After crying enough and shouting enough, my energy was almost exhausted. I lay weakly on the ground. The ground was so cold that it stung my skin.
Slowly, I began to lose consciousness. The moment I closed my eyes, I only felt that my throat was very dry, as if there was a slight smell of blood, and my head hurt. It was so painful that I just wanted to sleep quickly, so that I could No need to endure the darkness.
However, just when I gave up the idea of being rescued, there were rapid and fierce footsteps on the fifteenth floor of the stairs.
Someone is here!
I used my last bit of strength to knock on the glass door, but my strength was so weak that it had no effect. I wanted to speak, but my throat seemed to be blocked and no sound came out.
After two seconds, the footsteps were getting closer and closer to me, and suddenly, I heard someone calling my name.
” Candice ! Where are you! Speak!”
I clenched my fists and pounded on the glass door again and again. Soon, the man found my position.
When the figure of that person appeared in front of me, I pursed my dry lips and tried to open my half-closed eyes. The figure of that person was very tall and big, and I seemed to have seen him somewhere.
Suddenly, he shouted at me at the top of his lungs, “Get out of the way! I’m going to break down the door!”
Eugene ‘s image immediately appeared in my mind. This should be his voice, it must be him.
I propped myself up and tried to move backwards. I didn’t know what was behind me, but as I moved backwards, a hole was cut in my clothes.
Suddenly, I felt a slight pain, as if my back was scratched.
I endured the pain and said, “I… will move aside… you can smash it.”
One second, two seconds, three seconds…
In just three seconds, I heard the glass door in front of me being smashed into countless pieces.
There was a loud crashing sound in my ears, and even a lot of glass shards bounced to my feet.
The glass door was completely shattered, and at this moment, the lights on the entire fifteenth floor were lit again.
The moment the lights came on, my eyes were dazzled and hurt. I lowered my head and tears streamed down my cheeks. I closed my eyes and cried in a hoarse voice, “I’m sorry… I’ve caused you trouble again…”
Eugene didn’t say anything, he just stood quietly in front of me. For a long time, both of us were silent, as quiet as the night outside, deep and boundless.
When my eyes slowly returned to normal, I raised my head and looked at his face. He stood there silently, his eyes fixed on me, motionless.
After a while, a security guard hurried over from the other end of the stairs. He stood beside Eugene with a horrified look on his face, bowing and apologizing: “I’m sorry, Mr. Johnson ! I’m sorry, Mr. Johnson ! The main switch was turned off! We didn’t expect that the whole building would suddenly lose power! I’m sorry, Mr. Johnson ! I’m sorry, Mr. Johnson !”
Eugene, who was standing in front of me, still had no expression on his face. He looked at me with deep eyes, then walked to my side, squatted down and said, “Didn’t I tell you not to stay here too long?”
I nodded vigorously, and the tears that had not yet dried in the corners of my eyes fell to the ground with a crackling sound.
Eugene grabbed my jaw and continued, pointing my gaze towards me: “Why do you always disobey me?”
I was speechless, squeezing back tears and swallowing.
Eugene turned around and ordered the security guard, “Check the surveillance to see who cut off the power and who locked the door.”
The security guard nodded and bowed repeatedly in response, and promised that such a thing would never happen again.
I knew I was saved, so I tried to stand up and leave. At this moment, Eugene hugged my upper body and calves and lifted me up horizontally.
I whispered awkwardly: “I… I can walk by myself…”
He glared at me with a dark face, “Still trying to be brave?”
I lowered my head silently.
Forget it, don’t be polite. After all, both my legs are numb and it will be difficult for me to walk.
Eugene carried me back to the office, he threw me directly onto the big bed in the inner room. With a “thump”, I fell into the soft sheets.
I straightened my clothes and said with a slow breath, “I’m sorry to trouble you again.”
Eugene ignored me and walked straight to the desk. He rummaged through the drawers for a while, and when he came back to me, he was holding iodine and disinfectant cotton pads in his hands.
Only then did I realize that my legs were covered with scratches.
My brain reacted extremely quickly, using up almost all my strength to lift my legs up into the air. I kept my legs on top and my body on the mattress, facing Eugene .
Eugene was stunned, stood in front of me with an embarrassed look on his face, and said, “What are you doing…”
I supported my waist with both hands, my voice trembling, “I’m afraid… I’ll stain your sheets… My calves are bleeding…”
Eugene looked at me with disdain, pointed at the area below me and said, “You’ve made it dirty.”
I turned my head, and sure enough, a hint of red appeared on the pure white sheets.
I hit my head hard, and then Nuonuo asked, “Can this sheet… be dry-cleaned?”
He didn’t say anything, just coldly grabbed my ankle, then sat on the edge of the bed and started to disinfect and apply medicine to my calf.
I was a little flattered. After all, such treatment was really beyond my expectations.
Eugene was carefully helping me apply the medicine, his eyes were very focused. I faced the dim light above my head and looked at his side face, intoxicated and charming, as if he was the kindest at this moment.
After the wound was treated, he pushed my legs to the side. I fell unsteadily into the sheets, and he stood up, adjusted his collar and said, “Can I walk by myself?”
I saw that he was going to take me away, so I nodded quickly, and then jumped down to the ground. But the moment my legs landed, I still couldn’t stand firm because my calves were weak, and I fell to my knees on the ground with a plop, kneeling on Eugene’s back. before……
That scene was like begging the master for forgiveness…
I lowered my head in shame, biting my lip with my teeth, not knowing what to say.
Eugene sighed helplessly, then reached out and supported my arms. He lifted me up and I stood up straight. He said in a collapsed voice, ” Candice , did I owe you in my last life?”
I shook my head. “Probably not…”
He frowned, turned around, squatted on the ground, patted his shoulder and said, “Come on up, I’ll carry you.”
He carried me?
Surprised, I quickly waved my hands to refuse, “No, no! This is too much trouble. I can hold on to the wall myself…”
Before I finished speaking, he reminded me angrily, “Stop talking nonsense!”
All right……
I lay down and leaned on his back. He stood up easily and lifted me into a space of 1. 9 meters.
The air up there smells so good…
I unconsciously took a deep breath, and Eugene asked helplessly, “What’s wrong with you?”
I said stupidly: “It’s okay… it’s just that the air up there smells so good…”
He shook his head helplessly, “That’s the smell of shampoo.”
“…”
Eugene carried me downstairs, he stuffed me into his car. As soon as I got into the back seat, I saw Kim sitting opposite me with a nervous look on her face .
Kim saw me, he jumped on me with his eyes wide open. He touched my face and said, ” Candice Mommy ! Does it hurt? Are you hurt? Kim will blow it for you!”
Kim carefully searched for wounds on my body. When he found my calf covered with scars, tears welled up in his eyes. He looked at me pitifully and blew air into my wounds. ” Candice Mommy , are you in a lot of pain…”
The little guy’s voice had a hint of tears in it, and it sounded like his grandmother’s voice, and it melted my heart.
I held up his little face and gave him a big kiss. “Good boy, it doesn’t hurt! It’s okay! Thank you Kim for worrying about me!”
Kim gently caressed the area around my wound. At this time, Eugene got in the car, fastened his seat belt, looked back at me, and asked, “Go back to your house or mine.”
I answered firmly, “My home! Thank you!”
The car started, and the clingy Kim slowly lay on my lap. I pinched his little face and said, “Little brat, why are you going out with your dad in the middle of the night? You don’t have class tomorrow!”
Kim pointed at Eugene ‘s back and said, “Dad was watching the company’s surveillance at home and saw that Candice’s mom was in danger. I was worried, so I followed her! I have to urge Dad to save you! Because I am not grown up yet and cannot protect Candice !”
Kim ‘s words made sense, and it was only then that I realized that the reason Eugene came was because he saw the surveillance camera in the company’s office at home.
It turns out that there is surveillance in his office.
So, he was at home just now and has been using remote monitoring to spy on me!
Eugene, who was driving, cleared his throat and ordered Kim : “If you are sleepy, go to sleep and stop talking.”
Kim made a coquettish gesture in my arms, then hugged my waist tightly, buried her face in my belly, and said, ” Mommy Candice , call me when you get home, Kim is sleepy.”
I stroked his forehead and said, “Well, go to sleep. I’ll call you when I get home.”
During the whole car ride back, Eugene and I didn’t have any communication. He drove his car and I took my time.
Occasionally, I would catch him secretly looking at me in the rearview mirror, but for just a moment, he would look back, as if nothing had happened.
But it’s really strange, every time when he and I look at each other, my heart beats faster and faster with nervousness, thump-thump, and I can’t control it at all.
Maybe it’s because the night is too spooky now , which always makes people’s hearts become fragile easily.
When the car arrived at my door, Eugene turned around and said, “Get out of the car. I’ll take you upstairs.”
I looked down at Kim who was sleeping soundly, feeling a bit embarrassed, “Help me take Kim away first… He hugged my waist, I dare not move…”
Eugene leaned over to take a look, then restarted the car. I didn’t understand what he was going to do, but he said coldly, “Then let’s go to my house. I don’t want to wake him up, and it will be troublesome to coax him.”
