He knelt beside the bed and pressed his face against Calvin's big hand.
"Carl." Sean shouted in a low voice, "Carl...you, you can't leave me behind."
Calvin made no response.
Sean swallowed more.
If it weren't for Calvin's accident today, he wouldn't even have the right to visit here. The investigators of the Mercury Needle Workstation not only thoroughly investigated his illegal operations in the Bergman case, but also investigated all his movements in the habitable area in the past few years.
Sean was very upset. He had obviously been careful enough in many things in the past, but he didn't expect that he still left clues in some places.
The more serious accusations came from a series of actions he took against Sophie last year. Now, he is a prisoner awaiting trial, being held in a cell at the base - a few corridors away from him is the prison of the chelates, and he can hear those shrill and crazy laughter every night. , they hit the wall over and over again, hitting the ground and fence with handcuffs and chains. The fierce sounds made Sean frightened and kept him awake at night.
The transaction on the house he and Calvin bought together was suspended. Half of the reason was that neither of them had a chance to contact banks and real estate companies in the past few months, and the other half was because his account was frozen. Office No. 006 is completely indifferent to this.
...It wasn't supposed to be like this.
Originally, he was very close to everything he wanted - Sophie gave him sincere trust, and given time, he would be able to capture this little girl who was not yet an adult. At the same time, he and Calvin used their extraordinary At a small price, he participated in an extremely/high-risk operation inside a habitable place, and a large amount of money was hovering over his head...
But it just failed...
All was lost.
He lost everything again, and this time fate even wanted to take Carl away from him - how did it happen?
A vague figure appeared in his mind.
In fact, he should have realized it a long time ago, and fate had taught him a lesson long ago, but he thought it was just a foreshadowing for the desire to rise first and then to suppress it.
Anytime Hesta shows up, bad luck begins.
Everything that was originally on track went wrong as soon as she came along.
… She is the source of everything.
An uncontrollable hatred emerged in Sean's heart. They were like a sudden surge, washing away all the helplessness and fear he felt at the moment - he knew that Hesta was also staying in the underground hospital now, although not Know exactly which ward it is.
But he knew that Hesta was also ill, and had been ill for several months, even missing the award ceremony in the core city - he must have been seriously ill.
This morning, Sean heard the nurse here talk about Chiba saving Calvin. He asked the nurse, "Where is Ms. Chiba? I want to thank her in person." The nurse told him that Chiba will be here today. Something happened, I went out.
Sean's cheeks twitched slightly with hatred, he stood up and left Calvin's ward.
The mercury needle responsible for guarding him was standing outside the room. Sean took the initiative to talk to him. His face was filled with tears and he was in grief. He just wanted to see Qianye in person so that he could express his gratitude to her in person. The guard sighed. , and asked him to go find the nurse and ask - Sean's visiting time is only three hours today, and when the time is up, she still has to take him back to the cell on time.
Sean cried on the spot and looked so haggard that he almost fainted. The guard reluctantly helped him to the nurse's station on the same floor. The nurse told him that Chiba didn't say when he would come back, and he might not be able to wait.
Sean just shook his head, indicating that he was willing to wait, so the nurse told him the floor where Hesta was located - Chiba would go there as soon as he came back.
Sean's hands reached into his pockets.
On the way here, he picked up a nail covered with rust. He didn't think too much when he picked it up. He just bent down and pretended to pour the gravel out of the shoe, and by the way, he held the nail in his hand.
It turns out that this is fate: fate has destined that on this day, he will have an end with Hesta.
The elevator soon reached the sixteenth floor underground.
As soon as he stepped into the corridor here, Sean felt something was wrong - the lights in the corridor were only half lit, there was no nurse's desk on this floor, and the medical staff's duty room could be seen at the entrance. The doors of the wards on both sides of the corridor were closed. The viewing window was dark - there seemed to be no lights on in the room.
"Here...why is it so dark here?"
Sean's throat moved slightly, trying to turn on the light in the corridor.
"You'd better not move," the mercury needle guarding him whispered. "Since you are here to wait for someone, just sit here with peace of mind."
"……good."
Sean sat down. He held his breath and listened to the movements around him. The entire corridor was quiet, with only the occasional voice coming from the duty room. This scene made him feel a little uncomfortable, but he controlled his breathing and tried his best not to Let the watcher see the clues.
As the time approached eleven o'clock, several nurses pushed a trolley out of the dispensing room. When passing by Sean, he saw a capital h on the name of the medicine bottle - he naturally followed the nurses with his eyes. They entered the fifth room on the left.
The door to the ward was closed again, and the sound of water came from inside.
Sean looked at the guard on the side, "How long do I have?"
The guard looked at his watch: "Thirteen minutes."
"...Would you like to call Ms. Chiba for me?"
"No, didn't you say, wait until you get it, forget it if you can't wait, you will still have a chance to come over in the future, it's not too late to thank you next time."
Sean raised his voice: "But -"
"No buts."
Sean lowered his head and held his knees tightly.
Almost at the same moment, there was a noise in Hesta's ward, as if something was being broken one after another. A nurse backed out of the ward. She ran to the duty room, "Here, two people, help each other. Maybe it’s because Chiba is not here today and Hesta started making trouble——”
Sean looked at the guard again, "Can I go to the bathroom?"
The guard nodded, and she followed Sean into the men's room on this floor, guarding directly outside Sean's cubicle.
Sean held his breath, and after a while, he heard the tapping sound of the guard's fingertips touching the screen - she was looking at her phone.
He raised his head, looked at the fresh air duct above his head, and slowly took a deep breath.
Suddenly, the mercury needle outside the compartment felt dangerous, and the alarm on her wrist instantly sounded - Sean entered bullet time.
After a loud noise, the cover of the fresh air duct fell down, Sean disappeared between the ducts, and the watchers immediately entered tracking mode.
"What are you doing Sean! You can't run away!"
At the other end of the corridor, Sean fell from the ceiling to the ground covered in dust - yes, he couldn't run away, I already knew I couldn't run away!
How much time can I buy now?
Do you have ten seconds?
It doesn’t even take that long—
Sean took out his hand from his pocket, clamped the nail tightly between his ring finger and middle finger, and pressed the nail head between his fingers with his thumb - he wanted to insert the nail into Hesta's eye. Just like a mercury needle kills chelates.
Let's die together, Hesta!
