Chapter 392: Who Can Help Me?
Chapter 392: Who Can Help Me?
If it were not to save her from the shot of Joyce, Eric could have completely gotten rid of Joyce’s entanglement.
If it were not to protect her, he could have taken protective measures in time, and the person lying dying now would have been her... If it weren’t for her, nothing would have happened today...
The clouds suddenly overwhelmed the clear sky while the thunder rolled over...
All sunlight was blocked.
“Eric, mobile phone, mobile phone...” Crystal recovered soon after a while, “I will call an ambulance now.”
Crystal groped in his pants.
But all she could touch was sticky blood....
“Coat pocket…”
She took the mobile phone out of his coat pocket and found that it couldn’t be used at all because of being soaked in blood.
“Blood? Why is there so much blood?”
Crystal exclaimed, only to find a bloody piece on his chest.
“Darling, you still owe me a few hickeys...”
“You got shot? Where is it?”
“No one is here now...”
“Eric, have you got shot?”
“Yeah.” Eric stroked her hair, “You look freaked out...”
Tears suddenly overflowed from Crystal's eyes, “You were shot, why didn’t you tell me earlier!?”
Eric smiled weakly, “So what if I tell you...”
He had been shot long ago, but he was still protecting her.
Even if he had fainted, he could have suddenly become sober and avoided the final blow given by Joyce.
But she didn’t realize that he had been shot until now!
“I, I will call an ambulance, Eric, I will call an ambulance...” Crystal's tears rolled down, and she panicked, “What should I do? I don’t have a mobile phone, what should I do...”
“Don’t worry... there is a public telephone booth along the roadside...” As Eric was speaking, the blood kept flowing out, “You can make an emergency call there.”
“Stop talking, stop talking!” Crystal covered his lips.
She was afraid that he would have no more blood if he were bleeding more. Then Eric took the opportunity to kiss her palm... His narrow eyes were raised, smiling handsomely, “When you worry about me... you look so beautiful...”
Crystal's tears rolled down again, “I’m going now...”
She moved his body gently. What she touched were all blood and wounds.
She opened the car door, and a blast of cold wind came in... Several raindrops hit the ground.
Boom!
It was the sound of Joyce’s sports car exploding.
Crystal looked over, the flames lit up the sky, and smoke rose in the rain.
Gritting her teeth, she told herself to be strong at this time.
As she was just about to get out of the car, her arm was grabbed tightly by Eric, “Darling...can you accompany me more...?”
“You have no time, I’ll go and come back quickly, wait for me...”
“Just five minutes?”
Crystal's feet seemed to be tied to lead, which were too heavy to move.
Eric stretched out his hand, “Come on, give me your hand...”
Crystal's mind was blank, then she gave him a hand.
He held her hand and smiled slowly, “Promise me, you will... keep our child anyway.”
“Our child...” Crystal choked.
“Huh?” Eric grasped her hand tighter, “You promise?”
Crystal nodded hard.
He smiled again and reached out to wipe the tears from the corner of her eyes, “Don’t cry.”
The blood on his hand rubbed her face, mixing with tears.
The rains kept falling.
Eric’s gaze became more and more hollow and gradually unfocused.
Crystal pulled her hand out hard, “Eric, I will find someone to call an ambulance now. You must wait for me, wait for me!”
“I know well about my body, don’t worry, you are still alive, how dare I die?...” He tried hard to raise his lips and smiled, “I won’t scare you...”
“It takes time to wait for the ambulance to come, we can’t wait! I have to call them right away...”
“Don’t run, be careful about the child… Don’t worry about me...”
“Okay.”
“Slow down, don’t fall...”
“Okay.”
“Just go...”
Crystal nodded and slowly released his hand, “I will come back soon, I will definitely be back, Eric, wait for me!”
Crystal stepped back a few steps, suddenly turned, and ran forward cruelly.
When she ran to the end of the road, she couldn’t help but look back and saw bloody Eric lying on the passenger seat.
But his eyes were looking at the yellow rapeseed flowers in the field...with divine detachment.
The rain was getting heavier. Crystal ran forward along the road, tears continuously falling down from his eyes, mixed with rain.
She had run for ten minutes, but where was the phone booth along the way? Her brain exploded suddenly, and her whole body froze.
It was as if a sleepwalker suddenly woke up.
Along the way they had come, she had looked at the ridges of the field outside the window. Never did she see a phone booth?
He had been lying to her. He had lied to her!
He knew his physical condition, and he couldn’t wait for the ambulance, so he pushed her away on purpose.
Crystal suddenly turned around, wanting to run back, but what should she do after going back? Would she watch Eric die in front of her? Crystal did not expect that when Eric was about to die, she was still worried that his death would leave a shadow on her...
[Darling...can you accompany me more...]
[Be with me, only five minutes?]
[I know my body well... Don’t worry, you are alive, how dare I die?...I won’t scare you...]
Crystal suddenly looked like a lost child, staring at the road with confusion. There were only large fields, without anyone else...
“Help! Somebody there...?”
“Is there anybody...?”
“Who can help me...?”
Crystal was like a puppet without a soul.
The heavy rain hit her pale face, her loud voice was quickly drowned out by the rain.
Crystal slowly squatted down, she felt weak, and her mind was blank.
In heavy rain, she recalled everything about Eric....
[Crystal, marry me.]
[Crystal, as long as you want, as long as I have, I can give you the whole world, but you can only be mine.]
As if an evil man came towards her….
He hooked up his lips and smiled at her... [That’s also a good start from not hating me, not having any feeling, to feel good, to like... then to love.]
[We still have a long way to go, it’s okay, I can wait for you slowly. I can wait for you for a lifetime.]
She had always hated him so much, wishing him to die!
But why did everything happen in this way?
If he died because of saving her, she would not be peaceful in her life. She should have been the person to die! It should be her!
In the distance, there was the sound of a car coming in.
Crystal was agitated, watching a small car approaching through the rain and fog.
Crystal got up immediately and stood in the center of the road, “Stop-help!”
The fog light hit her. She was covered in blood, and her hair was messy. As she walked, the blood on her body was dripping on the ground.
The driver paused and braked sharply.
Crystal wiped her tears and said, “Please help me, we have a car accident, please...”
However, before she approached him, the car reversed abruptly, as if he had seen a ghost.
Crystal stiffened. It seemed that no one was willing to help her. In such a remote place, vehicles would only pass by occasionally...
If she had waited for the next car to come, Eric would have been dead! She couldn’t just let Eric die…
