The Lost Mermaid [Zhongyingmei]

Carl and Jack walked in one after the other, and they both looked at each other, knowing that the next conversation would not be easy.

Carl walks in towards Doris and tells Jack to close the door.

Jack suddenly stopped closing the door.

Doris yelled that lunch had arrived.

"Let's eat first, my dear, I'm worried that later...we'll talk for too long, and you will feel uncomfortable." Carl waved his hand, motioning for Jack to carry the dinner plate to the private corridor.

Doris took Carl's hand and nodded.

She looked back at Ruth and said, "Shall we have some together?"

Ruth sat on the sofa with her head down, and slowly raised her eyes when she heard Doris' invitation.She stared fixedly into Doris's blue eyes, not daring to shift her gaze to that person.

"Thank you."

Ruth's voice was barely audible, she stood up and walked towards the sunny private corridor.

The four sat down at the round table.

As a "servant", Jack naturally has to serve the two ladies.Carl took the tea set from him and served Doris carefully.

Doris chewed the food in her mouth quickly, trying to start a conversation as soon as possible.

She accidentally got the cream on the tip of her nose without knowing it.Carl chuckled, held out his hand, and scraped the tip of her nose with his fingers.

"Huh?" Doris looked at him suspiciously, her cheeks puffed up.

Carl just smiled slightly, put the cream on his fingertips on his lips, and licked it all up.

Doris instantly looked like a cooked shrimp, she lowered her head, and the knife and fork in her hand slashed across the dinner plate, making a harsh and flustered zla sound.

Ruth coughed, and stopped unconsciously tearing the bread.

She and Jack suddenly met their eyes, and they both looked away in embarrassment.

The flowers all over the private corridor exude a strong fragrance, mixed with the clean smell of salty sea water.The rainy and sad mood slowly dissipated.

Ruth's arms wrapped herself loosely, and the sun shone on her back, making it slightly hot, but it gradually thawed her icy heart.

Doris was sensitive to the change in her mood, and felt a little relieved.

Ruth was her best friend, and she didn't want to see her depressed like this - although what happened to Ruth was enough to destroy anyone with a soft and sensitive heart.

After finishing lunch quickly, Doris threw away the knife and fork, Jack took away the plate and leftovers, rang the bell and handed it to the restaurant waiter who rushed outside the suite, and cleared the messy tableware on the tray Replaced with a new pot of tea.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Carl put his arms around his shoulders, leaned back on the chair, and looked at Jack and Ruth.

Doris wanted to explain, but Karl held down the hand under the table.

Carl shook his head slightly at her.

Doris had no choice but to keep her mouth shut, and steered the wheelchair to Karl's side, silently forming two small camps.

Jack took a deep breath and said before Ruth said, "As you can see, I adore Miss Bukett." As soon as he finished speaking, Ruth turned her head suddenly and looked into his clean and green eyes. Her lips were tightly pursed, and at this moment, she could finally see some shadow of Mrs. Bucket in her youth with her plump and youthful face.

"I haven't said anything like that to Miss Buckett, but now I say it in front of you—it's really rude to her, but, Miss Bucket, I want you to understand me." Jack Speaking slowly, he turned around to look at Ruth, and said seriously.

Ruth didn't speak, she was almost frozen, motionless.

Jack continued: "I don't know when this feeling started, maybe it was that day at Earl Rose's mansion, when Mr. Edward Rose and I went to look for you, we hid behind the tree. One glance."

"Little Edward is greedy for beauty. I know this better than anyone else. He first wanted to hook up with Doris, but when he failed, he shifted his target to Lu...Miss Bucket. That's not love, but superiority." possessive and controlling."

"I fell in love with Miss Bucket, and I was determined to protect her."

When Jack said this, he smiled wryly: "But, I am a little wandering painter, how can I protect——my muse?"

Jack looked at Carl and shook his head: "Mr. Hockley, that's why I came to you."

"I knew about the existence of you and Joey Love since Doris was kidnapped last time. Of course I can see clearly that Joey Love is your biggest stumbling block and the one who kidnapped Doris. Fierce. So..."

"So, you propose to come to my side, become my helper, and get rid of Joeylov!" Karl took his words.

Carl's face seemed angry but not angry. He vaguely knew that there must be a reason for Jack to find him, and there was a high probability that it was related to Joe Love. However, when he knew clearly that he had become someone else's tool, he felt shame and anger. Still burning uncontrollably in the bottom of my heart.

Jack nodded, he didn't seem ashamed of using Carl: "Originally I just wanted to go to the United States through your relationship, seek some other opportunities, and teach him some lessons by the way, but that night... I saved Miss Bucket, I saw despair and death in her eyes!"

Ruth's breathing suddenly became rapid. She seemed to recall what happened that night, and she could hardly breathe.

"I want those who hurt Miss Bucket to pay the price one by one!" Jack spat and gritted his teeth.

Doris growled: "Continue! How...how did you solve Joey Love?"

Hearing Doris' words, Carl's breath was suddenly suffocated. He opened his eyes and looked at Doris. Then he suddenly remembered that she had already known what he was hiding.

"I just stole his gun, broke his leg, knocked him unconscious and threw him on a small fishing boat in Cherbourg. If his life is hard, there may be a chance of survival."

Ruth turned her face away from him.

Doris watched the interaction between the two and had some thoughts in her mind.

"Last night, when I wanted to end this painful life again." Ruth said slowly with a hoarse voice, "Dawson saved me again. Doris, to tell you the truth, I might not To have the courage to do that a third time—"

Her words relieved both Jack and Doris.

"I want to take revenge on them! I want to kill them! But I, I can't do it!" Ruth covered her face, her voice trembling, "Earl Rose is someone I can't shake, even if the scandal is exposed, for them Nothing! And my mother..."

Ruth's voice choked up, and she couldn't go on.

She had indeed lost all trust in her mother, and was even filled with hatred, but she absolutely couldn't do the act of killing her mother!

Her life was given by her, so should she also take it away?

Carl's face also became ugly, his face was cold, and Doris couldn't help feeling flustered just by looking at him.

Doris stretched out her hand and covered his face.

She was also very uncomfortable, and she knew Carl's pain—he and Ruth were facing similar but different situations.His father had committed an unforgivable crime, and as his heir, there was nothing he could do.

Doris wanted to warm his cold face and heart with the warmth of her palm.

Carl took her hand and pressed his lips to her fingertips.

"I'm fine, dear."

Doris wanted to hug him, but she didn't.She turned around and looked at Ruth: "I have an idea that can help you escape from all this and take revenge on those two demons! —Maybe you'd like to hear it."

There were tears in Ruth's eyes, watching Doris blink stupidly, crystal tears slid down her cheeks.

In the evening, as usual, the first-class guests of the Titanic had a "gentlemen's social" after dinner, dancing and dancing, drinking and drinking.

The entire rest cabin is filled with a happy and charming atmosphere.

"boom--"

The door was opened suddenly, and Doris and Carl sat in the booth, looked at each other, and nodded slightly to each other.

The card players, drinkers, and chatterers all paused slightly, and looked towards the door from the corner of their eyes.

Ruth Bukett was wearing a gorgeous milky white dress, her hair was coiled up with pearl chains, and a few curly and fragmented strands of hair were scattered on her delicate collarbone.

The fiery red hair and snow-white skin are extremely dazzling under the strong light.

What's more eye-catching is the ring on her finger.

The huge gem is shining brightly, and the fingers it holds are gently hooking the elbow of the man beside him.

Ruth had a soft and charming smile on her face. She leaned close to the person beside her, and put her bright red lips close to his ear as if no one else was there, whispering intimately.

It looks like a good match for a golden boy and a jade girl.

But this man's complexion can be called completely stiff.

——Little Edward Rose clenched his back molars, his arm muscles tensed, but he couldn't refuse the alluring and fickle woman beside him!

They leaned close together and sat down at the long table. Earl Rose narrowed his eyes in satisfaction and asked Ruth to sit between him and his grandson.

The corners of Ruth's lips curled up, looking completely lifeless and restless, she sat down delicately.

Her left hand was still hooked on little Edward's wrist, but her right hand was patted "kindly" by Earl Rose, as if the family were enjoying themselves.

The ladies and gentlemen looked at each other for a moment, and then burst into congratulations: "Earl Rose! It seems that something good is going to happen in your house!"

"Tsk tsk, she is really a man and a woman, and she couldn't be more suitable!"

"Kiss to kiss! I'm so happy to see the descendants of two British nobles get married again! Finally, those cheap ones are no longer... Hahaha!"

Earl Luos laughed loudly, and gladly accepted everyone's support and congratulations.

From the first moment Ruth came in, Mrs. Bucket was completely stunned.

She opened her mouth wide and lost all noble demeanor, watching her daughter circling between two Edward Rosses, one old and one young, like a fish in water, completely no longer the rebellion she had resisted to death a few days ago.

But then, following the congratulations from the wives around her, she finally grinned in a daze, accepted the flattery, and looked at the huge shining gemstone on Ruth's finger with satisfaction.

Doris looked at the "joyful" atmosphere here, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

But her smile didn't reach the bottom of her heart. Carl beside her looked at her profile, and put his palm on her hand, wrapping her slender fingers.

Doris turned around and looked up at Carl with worried eyes.

"Ruth will protect herself, I believe her!"

This time it was a desperate situation.
