My billionaire husband spoils me too much novel Chapter 383

At 3:00 pm, the tourists finally exhausted all their patience.

"You said the reinforcements would arrive at 2:00 pm. Why haven't they arrived yet?"

The hotel customer service staff came out again and again to explain that they were on the way, but everyone felt the temperature was getting lower and lower. The sky outside was as dark as evening, and everyone was in a panic.

"Our hotel has done its best. The rescue cars are really on the way. They will arrive at night at the latest. Just like the delay of the flight, they've met some special circumstances on the way. And we can do nothing about it."

Over the crowd came the shouting one upon another. "Wait until night? I'm not sure if they can make it tonight!"

Everyone's luggage was packed, and 200 tourists were squeezed into the lobby of the hotel's first floor. Even the elevator entrance in the corridor was filled with people.

They were all in a hurry to go down the mountain, but now they couldn't leave.

The clamour lasted for half an hour. During the period, someone tried to rush out of the door, but the moment the door was pushed open, the strong wind and snow swept over, causing several strong men nearby to be unable to open their eyes. They covered their faces with arms, and their bodies were constantly pushed back by the wind.

The large vases, which were three meters high on both sides, clattered to the ground, and their sharp fragments were blown up by the wind. The crowd screamed in fear.

Christina pulled Geoffrey from the nearby chair into her arms. The brittle shards flew over and stabbed the wooden chair like darts, which were extremely sharp.

Geoffrey was so scared that his little face turned pale. He shrank into Christina's arms and did not dare to move.

More than a dozen tourists close to the door had been scratched by the shards. Their arms and faces were bleeding and they cried for help in pain. The door was closed urgently, and then the situation calmed down slightly.

Everyone knew that going down the mountain now was undoubtedly a suicide. The hotel staff bandaged the injured tourists' wounds. Fortunately, the bleeding was not serious. But now everyone calmed down.

"We have to wait in such weather."

Christina's face was expressionless. She muttered and lowered her head to pat Geoffrey's little head, and looked at him with her clear eyes. Geoffrey met her calm eyes, and suddenly, he somehow felt less afraid.

"Thank you."

Chandler thanked Christian sincerely. Thanks to her quick reaction, otherwise, his son would have been scratched by the broken vase.

Christina pinched Geoffrey's cold little face. "Be on guard at all times in an emergency. Only when you can protect yourself can you protect others."

Geoffrey replied shyly, "I see."

Chandler knew that Christina's grandfather, General Eisenhower, had been strict with her since she was a child.

"I'll go to Barbara and find out what's going on." Chandler stood up. He felt assured to entrust Geoffrey to Christina. "Charles, come with me, lest Ray kicks me out again."

Barbara had some conflicts with Christina. It was more convenient for Charles to ask about the situation.

Christina and Crystal were sitting quietly in the corner of the lobby, waiting for them back. Crystal was a little ashamed. She felt that she was useless. She thought for a while and decided that she was good at taking care of the food. "Christina, I'll go to the restaurant to get more bread, lest we don't even have enough food tonight."

"Let's go to the kitchen together."

Christina felt that she'd rather walk around than sit idly, so she took Geoffrey to the back kitchen of the hotel with Crystal.

Geoffrey looked up at her in confusion. "Mrs. Hopkins, do you dislike the bread?"

Under Charles' hard publicity, Christina is notorious for being picky about food.

"No." She was a little embarrassed.

Normally, customers were not allowed to enter the kitchen, but considering the current situation, no one cared so much. The three of them sneaked inside and found that there were no employees working in the huge kitchen, and the cutlery was also placed in a mess.

"This hotel is really unreliable." Crystal could not help but frown.

Christina's voice was calm. "These employees must know something that the customers don't know. They're not in the mood to go to work. Something must have happened."

"Will they run away early by themselves?"

"It's hard to say. Under the severe situation, life is the most important thing."

Just as they walked out of the kitchen, they saw Charles and Barbara chatting in a corner. They looked serious.

Christina walked straight over and heard Barbara say, "Ray has arranged it for me. I'll leave here in ten minutes."

"How can you leave without a car?"

"In this situation, even if there were cars, it would be difficult to ensure a safe evacuation."

As she spoke, Barbara lowered her voice. "Ray just told me that the eight people who left early in the morning were also out of contact and could not be reached by satellite phone."

There were only three satellite phones in the hotel. The earliest maintenance team took one, and the eight people who left early this morning also took one. Now the hotel only had one satellite phone that could contact the outside world.

Christina's footsteps were quite light. She suddenly walked to two meters away from them and asked in a low and steady voice, "The repair team has lost contact with those people this morning. Can you still leave safely?"

When Barbara heard her voice, she raised her head in shock.
