"Mrs. Hopkins, how long will it take my father and Uncle Shepherd to come back?" Geoffrey asked.
It was snowing so hard tonight that the child could not sleep peacefully. Geoffrey leaned against Christina tightly and looked worried with his bright eyes.
"They'll be back soon." Christina comforted.
Christina didn't know exactly when they would be back and had to wait for them. Seeing that Geoffrey's little face was a little red, she immediately touched his forehead to check if he had a fever.
Christina found that he seemed to have a fever with a hot forehead.
As Christina glanced at Crystal, Crystal nervously touched his forehead and found he really had a fever. Then Crystal gently asked, "Geoffrey, do you feel uncomfortable?"
Geoffrey listlessly shook his head in a low voice. "I'll be fine. Don't tell my dad."
Crystal worriedly wrapped him in more quilts.
Christina thought for a moment and got up. "The hotel usually has some medication on hand, including cold medicine. I'll go find it."
When Christina walked through the crowd in the lobby and was about to ask the hotel staff for the medicine, she was stopped by two well-dressed young women.
The two beautiful foreign women with blonde hair and blue eyes suddenly knelt in front of Christina. "Miss, we beg you to save my father."
Christina was shocked.
"We can't just stand by and watch our dad die. He's in pain and needs to be sent to the hospital immediately." They said.
They referred to the old man who had suffered a sudden stroke. He lay flat on a long table and kept warm with a blanket in terrible condition.
"We are from a famous local family. You take my father's belt buckle and contact the people in the town. They will immediately send someone up the mountain to save us. We will definitely reward you with a large sum of money."
Crystal saw that Christina was stopped over there and decided to see what happened after asking Barbara to look at Geoffrey.
"Do you want Christina to ski down the mountain now?" Crystal asked.
Crystal was shocked and angry when she figured out their intention. "Although the storm has stopped, everyone knows that the ski resort in the east is so steep that it is dangerous to ski during the day after the snowstorm. Now it's late at night, she will die!"
A few more men came over aggressively. "This young lady is very professional in skiing. She must be able to go down the mountain."
Christina expressionlessly said, "I'm sorry."
In this situation, everyone had to keep themselves alive, not save others.
Christina promised to stay to look after Crystal and friends and would not leave this place because she would die if she skied down the steep slope in the east of the mountain although it would only take 20 minutes.
When the two beautiful women who had been kneeling on the ground heard her refusal, they immediately stood up to glare at her angrily and scolded when pointing at Christina's face. "You selfish person."
"You watched an old man die in such a cruel way. In spite of your ability to help us, you have refused us ruthlessly."
The woman shouted in a shrill and harsh voice.
Christina kept silent and felt that these people were ridiculous.
Christina thought that they only cared about the safety of their own relatives, not the lives of others.
As Christina dragged Crystal away, one of the men behind suddenly shouted angrily, "My father could not die in this way. You have to go down the mountain!"
"What, what do you want to do?!" Crystal asked.
Crystal looked frightened and saw the man holding a pistol at Christina.
As they were getting noisier and noisier, the onlookers retreated in fear. From time to time, someone shouted, "Put down the gun."
Christina seriously pushed Crystal behind and subconsciously touched the steel knife at her waist with her right hand.
"Your father has a stroke and is ill. I'm sorry, but I could not help you." Christina said.
Christina tried to calm down and confronted the man in front.
The man, in his 40's, was nervously holding a gun and put the gun on safety to wave it in the crowd.
"You ruthless woman, you refuse to help us and watch my father die in this way. You will have a bad day. We will die together if you refuse to help me!"
As the man brandished this gun and pointed it randomly at people, people screamed and dodged in fear.
The man was crazy to threaten Christina with a gun at this moment.
Someone in the crowd shouted in fear, "I've seen you ski. You're a professional skier and can go down the mountain to save the old man."
"The old man is very pitiful. He made a great contribution to the local community when he was young. You should take the risk for him to go down the mountain. This is your honor."
Someone shouted, "You are the only one who has the ability to not save him from death!" They were all blaming Christina in unison.
