Chapter 733 Elevator Horror (4) Successful Rescue
Everhart Bank.
Inside the closed elevator, Seraphina anxiously awaited rescue.
From time to time, she glanced at Dashiell beside her.
Dashiell seemed even more nervous than at the beginning.
Logically, now that people knew they were trapped in the elevator, shouldn't he be more relaxed?
Why did Dashiell have a feeling that it was even more dangerous now?
"Dashiell," Seraphina called him.
Dashiell's eyes flickered.
He turned to look at Seraphina, noticing that she seemed much calmer.
"If something happens, don't blame me," Dashiell suddenly said.
Seraphina was taken aback. "What do you mean?"
Dashiell didn't answer.
He turned his gaze away.
Dashiell was thinking, if Sebastian was really that cruel, it would be him accelerating their demise.
"Dashiell, what do you mean?" Seraphina asked anxiously when Dashiell didn't respond.
"Nothing," Dashiell replied coldly.
"What do you mean?" Seraphina's personality wouldn't let it go.
She was the type who had to get to the bottom of things.
"The rescue team might take a while. You should rest for now."
"Dashiell, are you hiding something from me?" Seraphina continued to ask.
Dashiell remained silent.
When he didn't want to explain, he chose to stay quiet.
To be honest, Seraphina really hated this side of Dashiell.
He never said anything.
No matter what happened, he was always silent to the point of driving her crazy.
At this moment, Seraphina forgot she was still in danger. She grabbed Dashiell's arm, "Dashiell, can you speak properly?"
"Nothing," Dashiell said coldly, "Wait for the rescue."
"You must be..." Seraphina suddenly screamed.
The previously still elevator suddenly shook again.
Instinctively, she threw herself into Dashiell's arms, terrified, "Why is it shaking again?"
Dashiell also tensed up for a moment.
Could he have really bet wrong?
Was Sebastian really that vicious, capable of being so cruel to Seraphina?
"Dashiell!" Seraphina clung to his clothes. "What's happening now?"
In her terror, Seraphina forgot that she and Dashiell had been arguing just moments ago.
Dashiell's face darkened slightly.
He looked down at the panicked Seraphina in his arms.
At that moment, he suddenly hugged her tightly.
Seraphina was a bit surprised.
Was Dashiell hugging her?
Holding her tightly in his arms?
She seemed to hear his intense heartbeat.
She suddenly stiffened.
She always thought Dashiell despised her, sometimes to the point of not wanting to speak to her.
Even in the elevator.
Although he didn't push her away, she always felt he was rejecting her, passively.
Seraphina vaguely remembered that there was a moment when Dashiell had hugged her.
In any case, all the illusions now felt real, feeling Dashiell's warmth.
His chest made her feel that he could protect her, that she could rely on him no matter what happened.
Seraphina and Dashiell held each other tightly.
A scene suddenly flashed in Seraphina's mind.
She thought of the last time she was kidnapped.
That time, her eyes were covered, and her ears were blocked.
But she felt someone was saving her, risking their life to save her.
At that time, Seraphina's feelings were very similar to now.
But when she was finally rescued and the blindfold was removed, the person she saw was Sebastian.
She never confirmed if the person who saved her was Dashiell.
Now, Seraphina couldn't help but ask, "Dashiell, was it you last time too?"
Was it him every time she was in danger?
Dashiell's throat moved slightly.
He didn't know what Seraphina was talking about.
He just felt a bit guilty.
If the elevator malfunctioned, he would use his body to shield Seraphina.
He didn't know how much chance Seraphina had to survive.
He could only do his best.
"Was it you who saved me when I was kidnapped?" Without getting a response from Dashiell, Seraphina continued to ask.
It must have been him.
It must have been.
Seraphina was actually certain.
She just wanted an answer.
An answer that would make her resolute and unwavering.
Dashiell now understood what Seraphina was talking about.
Last time, when Seraphina was kidnapped by Penelope, it was him who saved her.
But he didn't want to say it, as it would burden Seraphina.
Seraphina was kidnapped because of him, and it was his responsibility to save her.
At this moment, under Seraphina's urgent questioning.
He began to waver.
Maybe, they were about to die in the next moment.
Before dying, he shouldn't hide it from her.
He opened his mouth, but before he could speak.
"Mr. Rainier! Ms. Everhart!" The security guard's voice rang out loudly from outside the elevator.
Dashiell was instantly interrupted.
Seraphina's attention was also drawn by the sudden voice.
"The repair and rescue teams are here, working on fixing the elevator. Please stay calm and wait a moment," the security guard shouted.
"Okay," Dashiell responded.
He couldn't help but really breathe a sigh of relief.
Sebastian wasn't that evil after all!
Otherwise, they would have been dead before the rescue team arrived.
After a while.
The elevator began to slowly descend.
Soon, it reached the correct floor.
The elevator door was opened by the repair personnel.
At that moment.
Many people were standing outside.
Besides the rescue and repair teams, Sebastian was also at the door.
After his outburst, he had driven over immediately.
He watched as Dashiell was rescued.
He watched as Dashiell returned from the brink of death.
He suppressed his overwhelming emotions, but when he saw Seraphina and Dashiell tightly embracing in the elevator, he couldn't hide his anger, which flashed across his face.
He suddenly reached out and yanked Seraphina from Dashiell's arms with great force.
Seraphina hadn't even reacted before she was pulled into another embrace.
As she instinctively tried to resist, she heard Sebastian's anxious, almost tearful voice in her ear, "Seraphina, you really scared me. You really scared me."
Sebastian's body seemed to be trembling.
Dashiell just watched as Sebastian and Seraphina tightly embraced.
His eyes flickered, and he looked away.
"Mr. Rainier, are you okay? Do you need to go to the hospital?" the rescue team asked quickly.
"I'm fine," Dashiell shook his head, "Check if she's hurt."
But it seemed she wasn't injured.
Dashiell walked through the crowd and left directly.
At that moment.
A staff member shouted loudly, "Mr. Rainier, your back is covered in blood."
