Chapter 731 Elevator Horror (2) I Love You
Seraphina was terrified.
Instinctively, she clung to Dashiell's body, burying herself tightly against his chest, her nails digging into his skin. Her body was trembling, constantly trembling.
The elevator plummeted for a distance and then suddenly stopped.
Dashiell looked up at the elevator buttons, unsure of which floor they were on now.
He even thought that the next time it lost control, it might just fall straight to the bottom.
In his arms, Seraphina's suppressed sobs began.
Dashiell's throat moved slightly.
He looked down at the trembling Seraphina in his arms.
At this moment, she seemed unable to control her fear and had started crying.
"Dashiell, I don't want to die," Seraphina said painfully.
"We won't die."
"There are so many elevator accidents..." Seraphina choked, "Many people die."
Dashiell pressed his lips together.
He suddenly let go of Seraphina.
Seraphina was startled by Dashiell's sudden release.
She clung to him, not letting him leave, and was extremely agitated, "Where are you going?"
"I'm going to check the elevator."
"How will you check?"
"I'll see if the emergency phone still works," Dashiell replied.
"Okay."
"Let go of me," Dashiell reminded.
Seraphina felt a bit embarrassed.
She had instinctively clung to Dashiell just now.
As if Dashiell was her only support.
She let go of Dashiell.
Dashiell walked to the elevator door and tried the emergency phone, but there was no response.
He took out his cell phone, but there was no signal.
So, the signal was blocked?
Which means this was premeditated.
Dashiell's expression changed slightly.
He also knew who it was.
He hadn't expected Sebastian to go this far.
He was now even wondering if Sebastian was targeting just him or Seraphina as well.
"Dashiell, how is it?" Seraphina asked nervously from the side.
Dashiell didn't answer Seraphina.
He walked to the door and pounded on the elevator door.
The elevator door shook, and the sudden noise startled Seraphina again.
She didn't want to die.
Her eyes were red, and tears kept falling, "Dashiell, are we going to die here together?"
Dashiell kept pounding on the elevator door, trying to attract attention from outside.
Unfortunately, it was too late now, and the company was almost empty. Even if the security was patrolling, they might not notice.
"Dashiell," Seraphina called him.
He didn't speak, which made her feel even more terrified.
Dashiell calmly thought about how they could get out.
If it was Sebastian's plot.
Then they were really doomed.
He gritted his teeth and tried to pry open the elevator door.
He didn't know where they had stopped now.
If it were at the bottom, there might be a chance of rescue.
Just as Dashiell was about to act.
The elevator shook again.
Seraphina was already on the verge of collapse.
Feeling the elevator shake, she was so scared that she immediately hugged Dashiell.
Dashiell had his back to her.
Seraphina hugged his back, her hands tightly wrapped around his waist, her face pressed deeply against his back.
Dashiell's injuries hadn't fully healed.
In daily life and work, it wasn't a big problem, but any bump or knock would still cause pain.
Dashiell frowned.
In the end, he endured it without saying anything.
He let Seraphina hold him, feeling her constantly trembling body.
Dashiell's hands moved closer to the tightly closed elevator door.
He exerted force, trying to pry it open.
The elevator door opened a little.
Through the gap, Dashiell saw that they were not on a normal floor.
So, trying to rescue themselves by opening the elevator door became very difficult.
One wrong move, and they could fall straight down the shaft.
And from his earlier observation, the current stopping point shouldn't be very low.
He estimated it was above the 10th floor.
If they fell from this height, it would be certain death.
Dashiell kept thinking.
Seraphina clung to Dashiell's body, constantly trembling.
All she could feel now was Dashiell's warm back.
She suddenly thought, what if the next second, she could no longer feel it.
What if the next second, they both died in here?
"Dashiell," Seraphina called him.
"What," Dashiell responded.
He was already sweating.
"Are you afraid of dying?" Seraphina asked.
Dashiell responded again.
Everyone is afraid of dying.
Especially dying so suddenly.
"I'm very afraid of dying," Seraphina said, burying her face deeper.
As if Dashiell's back was her only support.
She wanted to hide herself in his back.
Dashiell's throat moved slightly.
He couldn't comfort Seraphina now, telling her they wouldn't die.
If it was an elevator accident, the elevator wouldn't fall straight down. The elevator's self-protection function wasn't like what you see on TV, where a malfunction means death. With today's advanced technology, and Everhart Bank using the top-of-the-line elevators, a complete loss of control was impossible.
But now it was man-made, anything could happen.
"If we are going to die..." Seraphina said, her voice choking again.
Many images flashed through her mind.
Many images of being alive.
She even thought of Atticus, whom she had hated since childhood. If she really died, would he feel sad?
She also thought of Cecilia.
What would Cecilia do when she saw her body?
She even had a feeling that she had experienced this before.
The more she thought, the more upset she felt, the more she thought, the more terrified she became.
Seraphina clung tightly to Dashiell and asked him, "Do you have any last wishes?"
Dashiell's body stiffened slightly.
Until now, he had been thinking mostly about how to save themselves, how to maximize their chances of survival.
Now, with Seraphina's sudden question.
Probably, he didn't have any last wishes.
The only one he felt sorry for was Magnolia.
Dashiell didn't answer.
When faced with trouble, he always used his strong willpower to keep himself from panicking, let alone being weak.
"None?" Seraphina asked softly.
For a moment, she felt that Dashiell wasn't afraid of dying.
Dashiell seemed to face everything calmly.
Unlike her, who, when faced with trouble, was only capable of fear.
"None," Dashiell answered indifferently.
Seraphina knew it would be this answer.
Her eyes suddenly reddened again.
The disappointment and immense fear in Seraphina's heart were truly unbearable.
She leaned against Dashiell's back and said in a voice only she could hear, "I love you."
Dashiell.
At this moment of death.
I want to tell you.
I love you!
But you seemed to no longer care.
