Chapter 208 – Meeting at Last
A large hole broke out of the side that had trapped her, and out of that large hole ran a light like running water, which was so dazzling that you couldn’t open your eyes, but a hand seemed to pierce the firmament and reach out from that dazzling light.
Blanche Capra looked away for a moment unable to move.
Then she heard his voice come in clear and precise, “Are you in there? Have you seen me?” With that he beckoned his hand. His hand could no longer be seen in its original form, blood and water mixed with dirt wrapped around a hand, yet it was still so strong.
Even though he knew that he would cause great damage to his hands by digging with his bare hands like that. But when he really dug in, when she really saw his hands with her own eyes, the joy of seeing the light of day has been far away from the heartache he brought and touched behind, she can not feel the other, only feel this moment, she fell in love with this person is how difficult for her to let go.
Blanche Capra bit her lips not to answer, outside of York Charlie for a moment did not hear her response, but some anxiety, he shouted a few times her name, even with the name, but as the morning bells and twilight drums all at once hit in her heart, she finally could not hold back, and constantly shouted, “I’m at, I’m at, I’m at …”
He anxiously wanted to see her, she also anxiously wanted to see him, they have never had such a longing, the next moment, the two can tightly and deeply embrace together.
There could be no deeper urgency than to have not experienced life and death, but to have experienced them as if they had.
York Charlie heard Blanche Capra’s answer, the whole man moved again, as if he really treats his flesh palm like some steel machine, anything can penetrate, anything can break, what’s more, his heart’s desire for her is in this distance of a stone’s throw.
But someone behind him pulled him back, “Stop digging, now let’s do it, let’s do it!” It was the fireman who had been standing a short distance away and had rushed in at that moment at the sound of the commotion.
York Charlie, however, turned his head and yelled at them, “She’s been in there so long, how long are you going to wait?!”
The firefighter was shocked by his solemn look, the hand that was pulling on him loosened, and seeing him digging with his own hands again, those hands were almost miserable, he immediately replied, “Get the guys, this guy is crazy!”
York Charlie was only one man, not to mention that he was physically overdrawn, and two firemen came alongside to hold him back while the others went back to digging that gaping hole with their tools.
Blanche Capra was inside listening to her body shaking, she had never shed so many tears since she was reborn, she tried to hold them back but couldn’t, where was her so-called calmness and reason? Things that were as strict as dogma she adhered to. Blanche Capra yelled, “York Charlie, you stop digging, let them come! Let them come!”
She screamed almost at the top of her lungs.
York Charlie heard her screams, but he stopped refusing to let the firemen stop him, he felt his hands had begun to shake slightly, he no longer had the strength to dig, and he didn’t want to really waste those hands to make Blanche Capra sad.
So he stopped, but his eyes were fixed on the spot for an instant.
When Blanche Capra was in the sunlight again, she could see none of those men in fire-suits, nor any of the people of the world, while her eyes subconsciously went in search of that figure, and before her heart had time to penetrate with a trace of anxiety, York Charlie was already standing before her eyes.
She saw him almost at first sight.
Blanche Capra looked at him, his face an easy, pleasant smile, while he looked, instead, dusty and dirty, as if the person trapped underneath was him and not her.
“York Charlie!” she called his name and flung herself into his arms.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
York Charlie almost took a half-step backwards at her movement, and Blanche Capra felt the weakness of his body, and also the delayed embrace of his hands hanging behind his back, and Blanche Capra withdrew from him at once, and then caught his hands with unerring accuracy.
Almost unavoidably, he landed right in the center of her hands.
For a moment there was silence, Blanche Capra’s head was bowed, her shoulders suddenly shook a little, a little, more and more distinctly until they trembled violently, and her whimpering sobs came from underneath, and York Charlie wanted to hold her and comfort her tenderly, but now he didn’t even have that strength left in him.
He only had time to say two words, then both eyes black fainted, unconscious.
…
York Charlie’s sudden fainting startled Blanche Capra, but fortunately the fireman next to him was quick to help York Charlie, who fell to the side.
The two words he had just uttered, like being blown away by the wind, were gone in an instant, and could not be traced.
“Don’t cry …”
Blanche Capra literally froze in shock, then frantic hand-wringing, was maddeningly overwhelmed. She couldn’t even think about what was wrong with him, her heart was filled with fear and dread.
All that seized her, and all she could do was watch as someone lifted him into the car, and then her own feet subconsciously followed, closely.
Not daring to blink an eye, she was afraid he would suddenly be gone.
York Charlie was taken to the hospital.
Blanche Capra stayed by York Charlie’s side every step of the way, looking at the way he lay unconscious in the hospital bed, looking at his hands wrapped in bandage after bandage, looking as vulnerable as he had ever looked.
Blanche Capra couldn’t help but crouch over York Charlie’s hand and whimper.
York Charlie lay in the hospital for the rest of the day and still didn’t wake up the next day. She was worried and heard from the firemen that she had actually been trapped for two and a half days. York Charlie had been digging at first and couldn’t wait for them to get there. She had fainted once in the middle of the day and woke up the next night. She was so worried that the firemen had told her that she had been trapped for two days and a half.
At that time, all kinds of signs, they already think that the possibility of her living close to zero, but York Charlie still do not believe that, must go alone to dig her out. It wasn’t until another early morning came that they heard her respond.
And after that, as she knew she would, even though everyone said she couldn’t dig any further, York Charlie couldn’t wait for them to come up with a suitable plan and chose the worst but most direct way to continue with her own hands.
Blanche Capra didn’t expect the process to be so convoluted and mind-blowing.
He hadn’t slept for days on end when he was at the office before, only sleeping the night before he came on a business trip; his body was already tired and hadn’t recovered yet, and then he continued to overspend endlessly for her sake.
Even the doctor had said that his body was in too serious of a deficit, it was playing with his life! There was also his hand, besides the obvious bloody trauma, his tendons and bones were also injured to the bone, it would take a long time to recover, and there was even a high possibility that it would leave aftereffects.
Blanche Capra was even more unaware that while she had been awake for one day, York Charlie had actually experienced three days. While many feelings filled her heart and mind, fortunately she and he finally met.
