Hearing Zain’s words, the nurse looked a little uncertain, bit her red lips and then looked carefully at the picture for a while, -Well, the patients are all resting. Go in and look for it carefully, by yourself. The gentleman is also right. After all, they are already very tired. He must be different from the one in the photo, maybe… that’s why I didn’t recognize him?
After saying this, the nurse looked at the photo again.
The man in the photo had a handsome face. He is the kind of man who would never be forgotten after one look, and if one of the saved survivors had the appearance like his, the nurse was sure she would not forget him.
But… Zain’s words made her hesitate.
They were looking for her family, and she could not rush to judgment.
-Thank you, let’s go look for him then,” Zain reached out and took the phone away from Alice, then gently pushed her shoulder, “Move carefully, I’m coming with you.
Alice nodded with a pale face, -Okay, okay.
She said with a shiver. Zain took her by the shoulders and escorted her to the living room. Due to the accident and the fact that there was only one hospital nearby, and not particularly large, they had limited beds and had to add beds to the wards, some of which had been added to the corridors.
Zain took Alice through the wards one by one, but never saw the familiar man.
Alice was unfazed and said nothing through the whole process. After searching a few times silently, she didn’t see Kennedy, so she went back to look for him, fearing he had slipped away.
First time …
Second time …
Third time …
I don’t know how many times he had looked, but Alice kept looking. Zain couldn’t help but grab her slender white wrist, forcing her to stop.
-Stop looking, Kennedy is not here.
Alice looked up and her eyes fell on Zain’s face, puzzled.
-Zain, maybe we missed him, if he’s not here… then where is he now?
To this question, Zain could not answer, and he did not know how to answer it. He could only bite his thin lips holding her shoulders seriously, -Tontita, it’s too late now. The search and rescue teams won’t start the rescue until tomorrow, we have searched six or seven times here, but we haven’t seen Kennedy.
-No…- Alice nodded, -We haven’t seen him, but maybe we missed him. What do you think… ask the nurse again?
Zain looked at her helplessly, “Don’t be silly. All the rescued are here. If we can’t find him here, he’s not here. All you have to do now is find a place to rest. And tomorrow when you wake up, we’ll follow the search and rescue team again.
Surprisingly, Alice’s eyes and expression were calm, which was strange. Megan, who was standing next to her, couldn’t resist stepping forward at the sight of him.
-Yes, Miss. Health is important. Take care of yourself so you can find Mr. Kennedy Moore.
She said this in the hope that Alice would take care of herself and return to the hotel to rest. But the same trick didn’t work twice. When she heard his words, Alice shook her head.
-I can’t sleep.
Then she looked sharply at Zain and grabbed his sleeve, “I want to go back to look for him.
Zain couldn’t stand her any longer and said seriously, -Stop being capricious. It’s already dark and windy out there. Didn’t you hear the officer say that the current is strong and dangerous? Besides, even if you went, what could you do? Stay there and keep watch? Keep watch for a night? And will Kennedy show up?
His voice was firm and stern, like that of a strict old man.
Next to them, Megan was watching them uneasily.
Alice was in such a state that she should have been comforted. After all, she was the most affected by what had happened, but she had not shed a tear or fallen down, but had followed everyone everywhere.
She hadn’t expected that Zain had said the harsh words to her at this time. Megan thought for a moment and then hurried to take Alice’s arm, explaining in a soft voice, -Miss, your brother doesn’t want to blame you. It’s just that when we got to the hospital, it’s already cordoned off and we had to go to the hospital. It’s just that when we got to the hospital, it was already cordoned off. Even if we go back now, we won’t be able to go in. Why don’t we go back to the hotel and rest for the night? And after we rest, we’ll go there and have a look, okay?
Zain stood to the side, his eyes cold.
Alice lowered her eyes and said softly, “I know you are doing this for my sake, but… I can’t go back to the hotel to sleep, you know that…”.
-I know, we all know that,” Megan took her by the shoulders and continued to gently coax her, “But you can’t neglect your health. Think about it… it’s already cold and you’re already tired from running today in your wedding dress. Besides, it’s too late now, if you want to leave, you’ll get sick. Miss, I’m not accusing you, but… I think if you insist, first you have to go back to the hotel to change your clothes, take a bath, sleep for a while, as long as you want, and get enough spirit. Tomorrow… let’s see if we can get on the search and rescue team’s boat and go look for him together?
This last sentence moved Alice.
-Is it possible?
Megan thought for a moment, “I’ll talk to the officers and try to get access.
Alice nodded.
-Okay, then I’m going to … go back to the hotel, take a shower and get some rest.
Seeing her finally engaged, Megan smiled, “That’s right, miss, the car is already waiting for us outside, shall we go?
-Well.
Megan helped Alice out, and Zain stopped for about three seconds before following her.
It was already cold, especially in the evening. The cold breeze blew into their ears as they left the hospital, so it was quite warm when they got into the car. After getting into the car, Alice was always huddled in a corner, hugging her shoulders and looking very isolated.
The car had been driving for about ten minutes when it started to rain outside.
-It’s raining…” muttered Megan unconsciously as she looked out the window.
After she said it, she immediately stopped talking. She had thought of something.
“It’s raining in this weather… Not a good thing.”
Megan unconsciously looked at Alice.
Indeed, Alice, who had been curled up and not moving, sat up abruptly at the sound of the rain.
-It’s raining.
Megan looked out the window and said in a soothing voice, -Just a little, it shouldn’t be raining much.
