The Lost Mermaid [Zhongyingmei]

Doris almost forgot that the reason they came to England was the Titanic, which was said to be the largest, strongest and unsinkable passenger ship in the world.

"Originally, Mr. Andrews, the chief designer of the Titanic, only planned to invite representatives of several ocean companies to participate in the trial voyage, but Mr. Hockley believed that the first-class guests should have the right to experience it before other guests. The miracle of the Titanic. I am afraid that Mr. Ismay also considered the issue of stocks, and readily agreed. That businessman only has stocks in his heart. Even if he has a weight like the Titanic in his hands, he will not forget to maximize his profits. .”

Doris's hand trembled slightly.

1900 went on to say: "It's good to have a look, they blow up the Titanic, but we have never seen it. I used to live on a passenger ship, but I want to see how incredible this Titanic is." !"

"Do we have to go?"

"No, if you don't want to go, we can stay at home until the day of the maiden voyage." 1900 smiled easily, and he saw Doris's hesitation.

Doris whispered, "Let me think."

1900 nodded thoughtfully in agreement, and closed the door for her by the way when he left.

Doris walked to the window on crutches and sat down.She casually threw the letter on the dressing table, and unconsciously tapped the wax on the envelope.

She looked at herself in the mirror, her gray and dry hair had all grown back to pure black, exuding a soft radiance under the sunlight; her eyes had also returned to the color of sea water, and no longer showed faintly dirty eyes. Grey; her naturally paler-than-human face, which always made her look sickly, now had a pink blush nourished by the heart of the ocean.

Doris has never been better off on land.

She opened the drawer, took out the velvet gift box, and gently opened the clasp.The heart of the ocean exudes a low-key light, and it soaks Hockley's breath when he is around him, and Hawkley is also easily affected by it because he is half of the mermaid blood-his temper is no longer as irritable and unruly as it was at the beginning. irritability.

When she was kidnapped that day, she tried her best, and the energy in her body exploded like a balloon, tearing the gangster apart.When she fled through the dark and narrow skylight, she felt his approach, but she couldn't face him like that at all, and, at that time, she was still wondering if Joey Love had done it under Hockley's order. ghost?

Hawkley sent the Heart of the Ocean to dispel her doubts.Thinking about it now, his subordinates may not be sincere, and even deceive and paralyze him.

"I should give him back the Heart of the Ocean." Doris said to herself in the mirror. "What do you think?"

'But he's not a mermaid?The heart of the ocean may still have the power to curse him! ' said a small voice inside her.

"His temper has improved a lot under the nourishment of the Heart of the Ocean. Then, his half-mermaid blood must have offset that curse?"

'But the Heart of the Ocean is supposed to be yours! '

"No, the Heart of the Ocean belongs to the Mermaid...he is also a descendant of the Mermaid!" Doris finally made up her mind to return the Heart of the Ocean to him, "What's more, I should remind him, Joey Luo Husband is a bad man!"

Doris pushed the box aside, took out a piece of paper and a pen from the drawer, wrote a few words on it, and stuffed the note into the box.

"On the day of the sea trial—" Doris stuffed the gift box into the small bag she carried with her when she went out.

"Damn it, the wind is too strong today, it may rain, and the sea trial will most likely be cancelled." 1900 looked at the strong wind outside the window and said worriedly.

They had already been invited to stay at the hotel on Lake Belfast in advance, waiting for the notice of the sea trial on April 4, but in the early morning of this day, it was very late, the wind was strong outside, and the trees near the hotel were bent. Slumped and swaying, the thick trunk looked unsafe.

After hearing what he said, Doris came to the window step by step with a cane on her crutches. Even though the window was closed, the wind howled and squeezed into the room from every opening.Broken gravel and leaves hit the glass window, making a crackling sound.

Doris looked into the distance, and she could vaguely see the waves in Belfast Lake blowing huge white waves under the hurricane, rolling towards the shore one after another.

The hotel where the brothers and sisters stayed could not see the Titanic, but the large passenger ship in the port was ups and downs in the waves, and occasionally there was the sound of heavy objects falling, which was particularly terrifying.

Suddenly there was a bright light in the distance, and the dazzling lightning pierced the sky. Doris subconsciously wanted to avoid it. After jumping away, she realized that she was not in the water anymore, and she didn't have to be so afraid of the electric shock.She was about to speak when she heard muffled thunder above her head.

1900 took a deep breath.

"Let's wait for the notification. Today's sea trial will definitely be cancelled." 1900 helped Doris walk towards the sofa, and arranged for her to sit down.It was also getting cold, so he rang the bell and asked the servant to bring a pot of black tea.

Within a minute, there was a knock on the door.

"So fast?" Doris looked at her brother suspiciously.

When I first came to the hotel last night, there were too many distinguished guests waiting to check in, and the servants were not too busy. They just wanted some hot water to wash up, and they all waited for an hour. The noisy downstairs continued until midnight.

Doris looked at the announcing clock on the wall, and the minute hand clearly skipped one frame.

1900 also felt puzzled, got up and strode forward to open the door.

Doris was fiddling with the cups on the table. These cups were said to have been brought by merchants from the far east. The delicate cups were decorated with intricate and beautiful laces.Doris couldn't put it down, and made up her mind to collect a set of such tea sets when she returned to the United States.

"Hockley? How do you know we live here?"

When Doris heard her brother's defensive words, her hands froze slightly, and the cup almost fell off.

"Mr. Boardman, you are also from the United States, of course you know that there is no news that cannot be bought with money." Hockley's tone was as arrogant and arrogant as ever, "I am the second largest shareholder of the Titanic. Of course, I know the accommodation situation of the honored guests."

"I came here today just to inform you that today's sea trial has been cancelled. In addition, Mr. Ismay is also sick, so I will preside over this sea trial."

"By the way," Hockley looked into the door restrainedly, "I haven't seen you for a long time, how is Miss Doris's body?"
