I carried Patrick and walked on the snow with great difficulty. Because my hand was injured just now, I felt in great pain as the weather was cold.
It seemed that the snow in the mountain was particularly heavy.
Once stepped on the snow and my foot sank in. It could reach my calf.
I just walked step by step. From time to time, I took out my phone to see if there was any signal.
However, I was disappointed every time I looked at it.
How could there be no signal here?
I was confused.
On such a windy and snowy night, I could still pull Patrick along for a while with the help of the door. But as time went by, my strength was being exhausted.
But I knew that maybe I had walked only one kilometer.
I knew that I couldn't fall, otherwise, we might both die here.
I continued to walk forward.
I didn't know how long I had walked. I only knew when my consciousness was getting fainter and fainter...
"Tinkling."
I heard a very slight sound coming from the pocket of Patrick's trousers.
That was the sound
of a phone text message!
I was so excited!
I took out my cell phone and saw the image of signals in the upper left corner. There were some signals!
It was likely that I'd found a life-saving straw. I called 911 for an emergency as soon as possible!
After the personnel at the other side knew our situation, they said that the ambulance would come right away!
I saw hope finally.
I grabbed Patrick's hand and continued to walk forward.
It didn't take long before I saw two yellow lights appearing not far away.
Blue- white lanterns flickered alternately on the ambulance as if they were giving out the light of hope in this snowy night.
Soon, the ambulance was closer and closer.
A few medical staff got out of the car and picked up Patrick first. Then I got in.
When I got in the ambulance, I focused on watching the medical staff do examinations for Patrick.
At this time, a doctor came over and looked at my hand, saying, "Your hands are frozen. Hurry up to move it."
Once he reminded me, I lowered my head and found that both of my hands were purple. The wounds seemed to be frozen. In the warm car, it seemed my fingers were difficult to bend.
The doctor looked at me and said, "Don't move. Go to the hospital later and let the doctor there help you treat it."
The ambulance sent us to the nearest hospital.
When I got off the car, my heart thumped when I looked up at the name of the hospital in front of me.
Glorious Light Hospital.
We arrived at Shelton's hospital.
I hoped that he was not there.
I prayed in my heart.
However, sometimes, everything was following Murphy's Law.
As soon as Patrick was sent into the emergency room, I turned my head and saw the man whom I hadn't seen for a long time-Shelton.
Now he was no longer wearing glasses, and his hair was shorter than before. His whole temperament looked cold and sharp.
Looking at him, I couldn't help but feel strange.
Even so, I still walked up to him and said, "Please don't hurt Patrick. If you don't want to save him, we can transfer him to another hospital. We..."
"In your heart, I am so vicious?"
Shelton interrupted me.
There was a flash of hurt in the man's cold eyes.
He bent down slightly, lowered his head, and wanted to grab my hand. I dodged subconsciously, but the man moved quickly and still grabbed my hand.
