"Trista, come here."
"Wait a minute, I'll see what's going on with these faucets!" I patted one faucet and another. I patted five faucets one by one, but there was no water. The sixth faucet followed by the water pipe stopped running. I never found that things would get so bad and tears rolled down.
If there is no water, the toilet will soon be swallowed up by the fire, and Donald and I will die here
"How could this happen?" I muttered to myself with a crying voice. I pushed open the doors of six toilets one by one and opened the water tank of the toilet one by one. I found that there was still some water here. I hurried to pick up the plastic water spoon and wanted to scoop out the water inside. However, the water tank was too small and the water spoon was too large. I had to pick up the rag stuffed in the crack of the door and put it into the water tank to get wet and screw the water into the plastic bucket.
It was not easy to accumulate a bucket. I splashed the floor and Donald's neighborhood, and then poured the remaining water on the gate to alleviate the urgent need.
But it's obviously a drop in the bucket.
I don't know how long it took. I finally ran out of water in the six toilet cisterns. There was no water!
"Did you just call me over?" I tried to squeeze out a smile, trying to suppress the feeling of despair, "do you want me to reward you with another kiss?"
His lips and his face was pale. "Are you afraid?"
"Not afraid."
He stretched out his hand and pulled me into his arms and sat down. "What are you afraid of with me?"
"I'm afraid you lose too much blood..." I looked at the blood flowing on the ground and panicked. "How is it black? Donald... Your blood... Why is it black?"
He didn't answer, but his eyes looked deeper at me, as if there was something on his mind.
"Donald, talk to you! Why is it black?" I'm not feeling well. "Was the dagger poisonous? Was it a bullet? Or did you have both? Did you know it long ago?"
So he does not let me not bandage the wound in vain
It turned out that he knew it was poisonous
In order not to worry me, how long did he endure
I can't imagine, "why don't you tell me!"
"What's the use of saying it, except to add to your worry... You know, I don't like your frown."
My tears fell, "Donald, I love you."
Holding his face with both hands, I kissed his forehead, eyes, nose, lips, chin with tears
He kissed me back, "I love you too."
"Don't leave me." I cried in fear. Only then did I know how much I loved him
"Trista, repeat what you just said." He gently raised the corners of his mouth.
"I love you, Donald." My tears fell more violently, "I can't live without you, don't go, don't leave me, you said you would take care of me all my life..."
"I won't go." He stroked my hair gently. "I won't leave you."
The fire had burned to the door. The thick smoke came in and made us cough.
Donald's pov
"There's a way." I noticed the exhaust fan on the ceiling!
Different from other places, the exhaust channels of all our subsidiaries are larger than those in other places, with a full width of half a meter. In order to better exhaust effect, the gas here is directly discharged outdoors. There is a small terrace outdoors. If we can get there, we must have a chance of being rescued!
Almost without hesitation, I picked up the pistol, banged the exhaust fan, quickly took off my vest, cut out a piece that was not red with blood, and dyed only a little water. "Cover your mouth and nose and come with me."
As the exhaust port is right above the wash basin, I first jumped on the table around the wash basin, then pulled Trista up and put the pistol in her hand. "Put it away and use it if necessary. Just aim at the target and pull the trigger, like this."
I fired a shot.
"……"
"This is my mobile phone. The appearance of those people are photographed in it. When you go out, give it to IRA and he will investigate it."
"……"
"Brush my card if necessary in the future. Don't save it for me. All bank card passwords are your date of birth, and the insurance beneficiary is also you. The group will give it to you later... Now, I squat down and you step on my shoulder."
Her eyes burst into tears. "What are you doing? Do you give your last words?"
"Why are you crying again?" I sighed.
"Don't you mean to take care of me all my life? Why leave me alone?"
"……"
"Didn't you give me all the important things and let me live alone?"
"For me, only you are important." I kissed her on the forehead. "There's no time. Let's go. I'll keep up with you soon."
She shed tears. "You can't leave unless someone asks you to step on your shoulder..."
"……"
Trista's pov
"You gave me the chance to live, and you?" I cried and accused, "the fire will burn in soon. You can't get out at all!"
"……"
"I won't leave you, never." Choking and coughing, I decided not to go, "Donald, I'm not going!"
"There's no time!" He forced me to leave. "Be obedient and find someone to save me? Don't argue with me anymore."
The temperature is getting higher and higher, even the space is filled with smoke, and the oxygen is getting thinner and thinner
"You cheat..." I cried and hugged him, burying my face in his arms. "You want to cheat me out, don't you? According to the current speed, this place will be swallowed up by the fire in less than five minutes! Before I can move the rescue troops, you will die!"
"How do you know if you don't try?"
"If I don't go, I just don't go."
"Why have you become so disobedient? Do you want my parents to lose their son and their daughter-in-law at the same time?" He frowned, "the group can't live without heirs. The lion group will depend on you to carry forward in the future. And the heritage left by your grandfather. Are you willing to give up? If you don't live, how can you investigate the truth of your grandfather's death?"
I raised my eyes in surprise, "what did you say?"
"Your grandfather was killed!" He coughed twice. "But I haven't found any useful clues so far. That's why I haven't told you the truth for a long time! It took me a month, but I can't find out anything. Don't you want to continue the investigation? How did grandpa die? Who framed him? Including your mother, did you never think their cause of death was suspicious?"
I can't believe it.
"So, step on my shoulder and leave here. If you really worry about me, live well. Your life is more important than mine. I want you to live!"
I'm a fool. I don't know whether what he said is true or an excuse to deceive me.
"What are you still in a daze? Come up!" He has squatted down.
"No..." I shook my head in tears. "If what you said is true, why wait until now?"
"Because I don't want you to stay and die with me!" He roared at me.
My tears fell more violently.
"I love you, Trista." He touched my face and said lovingly, "I'm injured now and can't leave here. Will you help me find the rescue troops? I promise I'll never die until you come back."
I shook my head in tears and was in a dilemma
What should I do? How can I leave Donald at such a critical moment? But if I don't ask for help, he and I will burn here alive
"I have done everything I promised you before, and this time is no exception. I said I would do it when you came back." He rubbed my face. "So, it's not too late. Let's go. Don't hesitate."
My hand fell on his shoulder and tears fell, "I'm gone. Will you really wait for me?"
"Yes."
"Even if the fire comes, you can live?"
"Yes."
"Then you can't break your promise. You must wait for me and save you when I come back!" I held his shoulder and just wanted to go up, but I couldn't bear to see the wound on his back
He was so badly hurt that almost the whole back was covered with blood
"Trista, what are you thinking? It's too late!" He interrupted my thoughts.
I hesitated again and again, but I went down to the washstand without hesitation, "I'll stay with you."
"……"
"I'm not leaving, Donald. No matter what happens, we'll face it together!" I reached out and touched his face. "Come down, too. I'm ready to live or die together. I'll never let you leave alone."
"You stupid woman!" His eyes were full of blood, and even his voice was hoarse. "You know I can't last long, Why do you do this?"
