Spoil My Errant Wife

Chapter 397 

As the photographer had expected, two hours later, the rescuers really found the stone house and rescued them from the terrible and cold snow- capped mountain.

Hearing others walking outside, Bob immediately ran out to shout for help.

Geoffrey also looked out excitedly at the entrance of the stone house.

Christina gently pushed the man leaning on her and whispered, "Patrick..."

Patrick looked pale.

After returning to the stone house, he lay still in Christina's arms.

Christina didn't think too much.

She just let him lie in her arms and waited for someone to come.

What worried her was that Patrick's wound would get inflamed if they stayed here for too long.

"Patrick," Christina called him again.

Actually, Patrick was awake.

Christina did not realize that it had been a long time since she had called his name in such a caring and calm tone.

After the rescuers noticed the stone house and the fire, everyone in the cave ran out, led by Chandler, "Geoffrey!!"

The voice was filled with anxiety and excitement.

"Dad ! “ Geoffrey ran, stepped on the thick snow, and threw himself excitedly at Chandler ahead.

"I knew you would find me"

With his eyes and nose red, the little boy spoke in a pure and childish voice.

"Are you hurt?"

"Is there anything wrong?"

Chandler was filled with anxiety and held Geoffray tightly in his arms, with tears welling up in his eyes.

"Are you scared? Don't be afraid"

After the avalanche, everyone was so close to death, and the rescuers had dug out several bodies. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Chandler was really afraid of Geoffrey's death.

If something happened to Geoffrey, Chandler really didn't know how to face it.

Christina had mixed emotions when seeing Chandler and Geoffray reunite.

When she had first seen Patrick, she had actually been moved...

But they didn't seem to be so excited.

Chandler carried his son into the dirty and small stone house.

At that time, Christina was helping Patrick stand up.

Then, Chandler reached out to hold her hands tightly and said excitedly.

"Christina, thank you for saving Geoffrey.I was really flustered when hearing of the avalanche.And I was worried and helpless...Later, when Crystal said that Geoffrey was with you, I had hope in my heart.You saved Geoffrey's life.I will remember it forever."

People who encounter disasters would be immersed in the fear of death, while the people looking for them were also confused and helpless in the fear of despair.

Christina was a little embarrassed in face of others’ sincere gratitude.

"Nothing serious.It's my duty to protect him*"

"You just mentioned Crystal, how is Crystal now? Have you found and saved her, haven't you?"

"Crystal was found by us at the top of the mountain.She was covered in a layer of light snow and was fine.After we saved her in time, she woke up quickly.But she had been blaming herself and was especially concerned about you..."

Christina explained seriously, "I asked her to run alone.If Crystal didn't run, I couldn't protect both of them.Don't blame her"

Chandler smiled at her with a guilty look.

"I never blame her."

The moment he found Crystal, to be honest, he really blamed her, an adult, for not taking good care of Geoffrey. He was angry that Crystal was alive while Geoffrey could be alive or dead.

Rescue workers drove several equipped SUVs over, which were equipped with medical equipment.

Two medical staff stepped forward and had a simple exam on the knife wounds on Patrick's back.

Christina let go of Patrick and turned to look at Barbara who was left behind.

Just as Christina walked towards the stone house, the photographer approached Patrick and whispered, "The pain on your back is in vain."

Patrick examined the strange face.

"Who are you?"

The man sneered as if he didn’t want to talk to Patrick, and turned around to go away.

Suddenly, the man said, "Patrick, you take the signal fireworks with you, but you choose to stay here for two hours until the rescuers came.If I hadn't seen it personally, I wouldn't have believed that you would have done such a stupid thing..."

Patrick watched the tall and thin figure leaving and lowered his eyes to think about something.

At this moment, a familiar figure jumped out of the last SUV.

It was Charles who rushed over excitedly.

"Patrick, where's Christina?"

Hearing the news, Charles immediately rushed over.

"I have told you that she's lucky and she'll be fine..."

"Gone."

Patrick seemed to be used to reaching into his pocket to rummage, but he seemed more and more anxious...

"It's gone"

"What?" Charles looked confused.

"Why is my pocket watch missing?"

Patrick suddenly became agitated with his voice loud.

He suddenly looked serious, turned back, and ran towards the stone house...

The medical staff in front saw Patrick's anxiety and immediately followed him nervously.

"Mr.Hopkins, you're injured, don't run..."

Noticing Patrick's anxiety, Chandler ran to catch up with him as well.

"What's wrong?" Charles was clear about the importance of the gold pocket watch carried by Patrick, but how could it be gone? It was really difficult to find it in such a large snowy mountain.

Barbara was the last to leave the stone house.Her legs were broken, making it hard for her to walk.

It was really a tragedy, but she was lucky that the rescue team arrived so soon.

She had thought that her legs would have to be amputated if she would be rescued tomorrow or even later.

"Thanks to Christina..."

There was a glint of mockery in her eyes, and she was mocking what she suffered at the moment.

At the same time, she moved slowly towards the entrance with the help of her hands.

If she hadn't been lucky enough to experience the disaster with Christina, how could Patrick have been here? Thinking of how Patrick was lying in Christina's arms just now, Barbara's eyes darkened.

Barbara had known Patrick for so many years, and Patrick had always been strong.

Even if he was injured, he wouldn't show his weakness...

Leaning on a woman's shoulder in this way made him like a little boy.

Even though Barbara knew that her love was in vain, she had tried her best.

But after tonight, she was exhausted and gave up.

She realized that however hard she tried, she could not replace Christina, although Barbara was reluctant.

Just as she passed by where Patrick had sat, Barbara's eyes brightened.

The fire at the entrance had not been extinguished.

Under the orange flames, she could clearly see a finely made gold pocket watch.

"It's Patrick's pocket watch"

Barbara muttered, looking at the watch in her palm.

"What are you doing?"

Christina suddenly appeared and found that Barbara seemed to be in a daze with something in her hand.

Barbara quickly hid the watch in her palm, raised her head, and answered stiffly, "Nothing,"

Christina did not ask her anymore.

At this moment, two medical staff came over with a single bed.

Then, they helped Barbara up and took her out for treatment.

Christina was also about to leave, but it was unexpected that Patrick rushed over. Without saying anything, he walked straight inside as if he was looking for something anxiously.

He turned the stone house upside down, but in the end, he found nothing.

"What? What are you looking for?" Christina suddenly felt a little angry.

"My pocket watch."

Patrick looked at Christina with a mixed expression.

"Did you see my pocket watch?"
