Chapter 115: Staying overnight
Ellennie stepped forward to Grace to express her regret for the loss of her loved one, who could not remember who Anne was for a moment, but Catherine provided an answer in time.
It seemed that she remembered the only time Iannie had met her, and she didn't know how Grace felt about it, but Anne could clearly feel the atmosphere chill.
When Ellen went to visit Steven, Steven faintly showed his evasion of Elle, but it was only under Grace's advice that Steven revealed some of the secret version of the truth to Anne.
Combined, no one can say whether Steven's accidental crash has something to do with all this.
Eaanne keenly sensed this slightly strange atmosphere, and after a little chat, she shrank into the corner of the lounge with her hot coffee.
Looking out the window, the rain outside did not abate, and the sky became darker. At first, everyone thought it was just a big rainstorm, and when the rain stopped, maybe the road connecting the nursing home to the outside world would be unblocked. But as time went on, the expected high tide came, and the hope of leaving the nursing home today became more and more slim.
In this regard, Anne was mentally prepared from the beginning, the storm began just as she was about to leave, so she had already decided that she would be trapped here until she suffered a disaster that could endanger her life.
Catherine, who had finished chatting with Steven's family, was also sitting next to Eaanne at the moment, she looked at the time and the heavy rain outside, and said worriedly: "I don't know how your disaster will happen, but I hope it is better not to have this house blown down by a strong wind." β
Yi Anne was taken aback by Catherine's somewhat dangerous thoughts: "It shouldn't be so miserable, the White Horn Nursing Home has been open for so many years, and it is on the coastline, so it will not cut corners in this kind of thing." β
Amid all the worries, it is true that there are no houses collapsed in nursing homes, and there are not even high-incidence events such as power outages in Nobel Province.
In the end, after confirming that everyone present could not leave the nursing home tonight, those who had hoped before had to go to check in. Anne Yi thought that the so-called accommodation would be a separate hotel opened by the nursing home, but in fact, the end result was some vacant rooms in the nursing home that were temporarily unoccupied by the elderly.
The housing in the Baijiao Nursing Home is actually similar to the apartment, with single, double, and multi-person suites, Yi Annie casually booked a single room, and saw that it was fully furnished, which seemed to be no different from ordinary motel housing, and then told Wang Yuxin, who was alone in the new home, that she was working alone with furniture in her new home.
Most guests are unhappy about the extra cost of staying overnight, but it's impossible to ask Steven's family to pay for it. In this case, there is indeed nothing to be done.
Moreover, now the weather is actually clear!
Looking at the only way out of the nursing home, which had been flooded by the rising tide, everyone couldn't help but curse: "If the rain had stopped an hour earlier, there would have been no need to stay in the nursing home tonight." β
At this time, although the nursing home can provide water amusement canoes and other equipment to send people out of the nursing home area, there is really no way to do it. And even if they send people out, they will have to walk for nearly two hours to reach the nearest town, so it is better to stay in a nursing home.
Therefore, most people still accept this reality, and some people even borrow fishing rods from the elderly people in the nursing home and go fishing in the lake that is connected to the sea. Truth be told, this saltwater lake does catch some large fish at high tide. The abundant algae in the lake attracts small fish at the turn of spring and summer, and large carnivorous fish, mainly sea bass and tiger fish, can sometimes even catch small sharks.
Anne was not interested in this kind of activity that required patience and luck, but the nursing home was a very boring place, and unlike Catherine, she did not have the pressure to deliver papers, so she followed a few idlers over to watch the fishing.
Although the dark clouds had dispersed, the sun was also setting in the west, and in the dim light, the sea and the lake were unusually dark, absorbing the light from the vicinity.
"Wow, it looks like there's really a big fish!" The sea fishing enthusiast who walked in front shouted softly.
Everyone followed the man's pointing and looked over, in the black water, there seemed to be darker shadows swimming into the lake from the direction of the sea, although the black shadows were only fleeting, but it was estimated that they were indeed more than a meter long.
"Wow, there is such a big fish here in Baijiao, I never knew it!"
"Don't be a great white shark, have you read the news, two great white sharks have been caught in the port of Xiacheng recently, both weighing nearly a ton!"
"The great white shark is much longer than this, and the water is relatively shallow here, so if the shark comes, it will definitely show its dorsal fin. I think it's just a big bass. β
"Don't guess, go and catch it and you'll know what kind of fish it is."
Anne was standing a little in front of her, and her heart fluttered violently as the shadow swam through the waterβit didn't seem like a fish, but a human?
She was taken aback by her own speculation, and could only comfort herself, probably a cup bow snake shadow.
After the sea fishing enthusiasts settled themselves, pulled out folding chairs on the shore and sat down waiting for the fish to take the bait, Yi Annie also took a walk nearby.
After more than ten minutes, the fishing enthusiasts began to whisper among themselves, and Yi Annie leaned in to listen to it, and it turned out to be a topic that had not been hooked until now, which seemed very unusual.
Thinking of the strange shapes of the black shadows in the water before, Yi Annie lost the interest in watching people fishing, said hello to Donald in the fishing group, and walked back in the direction of the building alone.
When she got to her quarters, she saw a near-black figure at the door of her quarters, somewhat hidden in the dim hallway light, and it looked like the man was still dressed in funeral clothes. After all, it could have been a small trip of half a day, and not everyone would have prepared a change of clothes in the car like Anne Yi.
It was only when she got closer that Anne recognized that it was probably Inferno.
The reason for using the word "probably" is that although the man was dressed the same as the previous Inferno and looked similar, his face was a little more vicissitudes than the Inferno whom Iannie knew.
It wasn't until she found out that she had stared at the other party's face for a while that Yi Annie felt inappropriate, which was indeed a bit impolite.
"Please let me in first." The vicissitudes of life version of Inferno didn't show anything, and spoke directly to Yi Anne, which was somewhat similar to a command, but made Yi Anne sure that this person was really Inferno.
Presumably, he is a vampire and cannot enter ordinary people's homes on his own, so he needs to be invited to enter.
Yi Anne didn't react for a while, in her impression, this vampire, who may have lived for two or three hundred years, is not afraid of sunlight and churches, and should have left the category of normal vampires a long time ago. Unexpectedly, this restriction was still in effect for him.
"Phil, what's wrong with you? Are you getting old? After inviting Inferno into the room, Anne finally asked the question.
