When Crystal saw Christina again, she threw herself at Christina and burst into tears.
"Christina, thank God. You're all fine. You don't know how scared I was. What if something happened to you and Geoffrey? What if I couldn't find you..."
Crystal was lucky. She was the first batch of people to be rescued. At that time, she was unconscious. When she woke up, her mind went blank and she was so flustered that she uttered words that do not hang together.
Chandler was so anxious that his eyes reddened. He asked her where Geoffrey was. If he was the only one alive, what should he do? Being a sole survivor was painful.
It was horrible to see the scene of life and death in which so many people were buried alive by the avalanche as they rushed down the mountain, with the screams and chaotic footsteps of many people.
"Christina, you asked me to run first. I really... I felt that I was a coward. I was too selfish. I'm sorry. How could I run away alone and leave you and Geoffrey behind?"
Crystal was crying sadly. Christina could tell that Crystal might be blaming herself.
When Geoffrey, who was standing aside, saw that Aunt Zhu was crying so sadly, he was a little awkward. He said in a low voice, "We're fine."
"Mrs. Hopkins is so awesome. She's been holding me. We're fine now."
Geoffrey held the tissue and touched her awkwardly with his little hand. His voice sounded like a little adult. "Don't cry."
Christina sighed. "Crystal, you cried so hard that my clothes were wet."
Crystal stopped crying and looked up at the woman and the kid in front of her with teary eyes.
Christina and Geoffrey were both quite energetic now. They were the ones who had suffered but now they were still comforting her. She felt extremely ashamed at once.
"If you hadn't run first, the three of us might have died in this avalanche together," Christina patted her on the head. "Crystal, good job."
Crystal sniffled. She was amused by her friendly teasing.
"I knew that you would do what you said." Crystal took the tissue from Geoffrey and said almost subconsciously.
At that time, Christina said that she would protect Geoffrey and let Crystal run away.
When Christina heard that she took it for granted, she was touched. Crystal had always trusted her.
There was an innocent and bright smile on Geoffrey's handsome little face. "Mrs. Hopkins is the best."
His admiring look was so vivid.
Crystal looked at him. At first, she was worried that Geoffrey was too young to go through such a terrible thing, which would cause some psychological trauma to him.
Now it seemed that the child was stronger than they had imagined.
Geoffrey announced proudly, "I'm a bigger man now."
Geoffrey stood up straight and looked at Christina. He seemed hesitating and paused. but after a while, he seemed to muster up the courage to ask her directly.
"Mrs. Hopkins, can I play with my brothers in the future? I like them. I will take care of them and not let others bully them."
When Christina heard the strange word "brothers," she looked a little confused and did not know how to reply to him for a moment.
The "brothers" Geoffrey referred to should be the twins of the Hopkins family.
Just then, Chandler came in with some clean clothes.
He coughed and said as if he was trying to explain, "Christina, Geoffrey is very simple. He just likes the twins in the Hopkins family. There's no other meaning."
This must be explained clearly.
Because the children of the Hopkins family were destined to be different from ordinary people, many people were scheming to get close to the children of the Hopkins family, mostly for commercial or family interests.
In fact, when he and Charles first came into contact with Patrick when they were young, they were also reminded by the elders of the family to take good care of their relationships with the kid of Hopkins family. This interest-driven society was sometimes really disgusting.
The "like" in Geoffrey's words was pure like, not for the sake of profit.
Christina was slightly stunned and replied vaguely, "Okay."
She didn't think as much as Chandler, but she just did not know how to answer the question about the twins in Hopkins family. It was clearly her twin sons, but she felt that she didn't know them well.
The children in the Hopkins family were destined to be lonely, and there must be many restrictions on making friends since childhood.
Chandler smiled. "Senior Mr. Hopkins loves his precious great-grandchildren. It's not easy to get close to them."
He knew that this was an awkward topic. Even Christina could not interfere with how the twins grew up in the family. The two children were destined to bear a lot.
Sometimes an ordinary family background is so bad.
"Geoffrey, you look like a dirty little beggar. Come with me to take a hot bath and change your clothes." Chandler caught his son and went to the next room to take a bath.
Perhaps it was because of this avalanche, the reunion of life and death, they all learned to be grateful and cherish what they had. Even the kid seemed to grow up a lot at once.
Geoffrey held his father's hand and turned to remind Crystal, "Aunt Zhu, you have to rest more. You shouldn't go out with a high fever."
The little guy was in high spirits at the moment. The hotel was fully heated. He was very happy that there was electricity and heat here and that he could take a bath here.
He suddenly remembered something important and quickly took out a buckle with floral patterns from his pocket. It was the buckle that the people who claimed to be local nobles had given them before they were forced to go down the mountain.
