Lady Ada

?Why do you still want to go to America?Doesn't the village need you?Or do you want to avoid me, how far can you go? "

Ada rolled his eyes unconsciously, couldn't he ask the question properly?Do not ask such a sharp question. Ada thinks that letting Leon and Charlie meet is already her biggest concession.She thought Leon would let it go. "Leon, if you still ask this kind of question, I think it will be difficult for our conversation to continue."

"Okay, okay, okay!" Leon nodded, "I can go to America anyway, can't I?"

"Oh, whatever you want....Huh?!" When Ada hadn't finished speaking, there was something wrong with her for a moment, "Just now?" Ada asked Leon as if talking to herself.Because she felt that the ship seemed to stop for a moment, and then moved slowly again.

"You mean the boat stopped just now?" Leon must have felt it even if it was just for a moment.

"Yes." Ada suddenly became a little nervous, she stood up, and quickly walked to the side of the boat, holding on to the fence and looking at the sea.

"What's the matter?" After a while Leon also came to him, feeling the sea breeze blowing. "Maybe the propeller stopped for a while and now it's working again."

"Okay..." Ada shook her head, "I don't know why, but I think about what happened to the Titanic before. I always have lingering fears... My friend must have experienced something terrible at that time." Ada thought of those two A friend who died in a shipwreck.

"I know..." Leon looked at Ada.At this moment he really wanted to reach out and hold Ada's hand tightly to comfort her.But thinking about it, he flinched immediately, Ada must not like this. "It's all right. The ship will reach America safely."

"I think so too." Ada smiled. "By the way, Leon. I think I'll go back first. I need to take a nap."

"Okay." Leon nodded towards Ada, he knew that Ada had this habit when he was free.

About 3 hours passed.After Ada went back Leon still stayed on the deck and sat quietly watching the sea.I told Ada just now that I went to the United States to do business, but I lied to her.That's right, he learned the news that Ada was going to the United States from Helena, and he followed Ada secretly.Leon couldn't believe that strange prophecy no matter what, no matter how terrible Ada described it.Maybe it was just Ada's first husband?No, no, no.As long as Ada is with him, it doesn't matter whether he is married or not.Yes, they are not husband and wife if they are not married. Leon thought it was perfectly possible to play with words like this, and he didn't mind taking the risk.

Suddenly there was a commotion nearby, Leon turned his head to see that some crew members were discussing something excitedly, and then more and more crew members joined.After a while, the crew members were untying the ropes that tied the lifeboat!

"Hey! Sir, what happened?" Leon ran over there anxiously, and he grabbed the arm of a crew member nervously.

"This ship may be sinking! You, sir, run away too!" The crewman said quickly, he shook off Leon's hand and went to the other side to continue his work. "We are now going to untie these ropes and let people escape!"

"What? The ship is going to sink? You're not kidding, are you? It's not long since I left Ireland!" Leon walked up to the crew member without giving up and asked, "Why can't I hear any radio?"

"The radio is just broken! We don't want to! Sir!" Said the crew impatiently, "The captain has ordered the crew to call the guests here."

After hearing what the crew said, Leon immediately looked up at the cabin. The guests who came out of the cabin felt extremely relaxed and walked over slowly.It's like he doesn't believe the ship is going to sink. "I can't believe it!" Leon slammed a sentence and immediately ran towards the cabin, directly to the first-class cabin.He wants to find Ada, even though he doesn't know where Ada lives.

In the first-class cabin Leon saw some attendants knocking on the door, and the passengers who opened the door were generally at a loss for a while, and then slowly entered the room to get the life jacket and went to the deck to wait for the lifeboat.Of course, since it is now afternoon, Leon heard many waiters say not to waste time in the first class, because more guests may not be in the guest room, but in other places.This is obviously bad news, Leon doesn't know if Ada is in the room, if she is still sleeping in the room, and the waiter doesn't knock on the door of the guest room to inform her..."Hey! Have you ever seen an oriental-looking person? Is it a girl?" Leon would ask anyone he saw, if he saw a nobleman and someone Leon knew, he would directly ask Ada's whereabouts.And fortunately, I learned the location of Ada's room from someone I know.

"Ada! Ada!" Leon slammed on the door of Ada's room and twisted the doorknob vigorously. "Ada! Ada! Are you there?" Thinking about this is not a solution, Leon doesn't even know if Ada is inside! "Hey! Sir, do you have the key to this room?" Leon suddenly stopped a waiter who was hurriedly passing by.

"How is this possible!" the waiter said anxiously, as if he was about to leave the first-class cabin, he was a little uncomfortable being stopped by Leon. "Sir, you go over there and look for a crew member in a blue uniform. He has called a guest over there. That is our supervisor, and there may be a key."

"Thank you!" After saying that, Leon ran to the place directed by the waiter.

"Leon! What are you doing here?" However, Ada suddenly came out from the next staircase, and she called to stop Leon who was running to the side.

"My God! You're here!" Leon ran over after seeing Ada, and wanted to hug Ada into his arms, but he restrained himself in the end. "Let's run away! The ship is sinking!"

"No, I still have to go to the room to get something. You go to the deck first!" Ada also said anxiously.She had almost reached the deck, but remembered that she still had her valuables in the room.

"God! At this moment, what is more important than life?" Leon said fiercely to Ada.

"Then go to the deck by yourself first." Obviously Ada didn't want to pay attention to Leon's words, she immediately ran back to her room to find her things.A pocket watch with Charlie's picture inside.There is also a diary with a picture of Leon in it. Knowing that Leon was waiting for her at the door, Ada quickly stuffed these two things into her inner pocket.

"Are you ready?" Leon hurriedly stamped his feet at the door to urge Ada.Suddenly the ship jerked and it felt like it was starting to tip to one side. "Ada!"

"I'm coming!" Ada yelled at Leon dissatisfied, and then immediately ran to the door, and was dragged by Leon to the deck.

There was chaos on deck as the ship began to lean heavily to one side.The cries of babies and children, the curses of men, and the screams of women almost bombarded their eardrums.Didn't many shipping companies step up their response to crises after the Titanic incident? Leon feels incomprehensible to the current out-of-control scene and the crew's failure to control the emotions of the guests.And Ada is not a person who is easily frightened. Apart from the sadness brought about by John's death, she has never been in such a strong mood like she is now.Just talked to Leon about the Titanic a few hours ago... Ada is led by Leon, her head is in a mess.The crew kept yelling for the ladies and children to leave first, so Leon kept dragging Ada to the lifeboat.

"Here! Here! There's a lady here!" Leon grabbed Ada and shouted at the crew. "Ada, come here!" Leon put his arm around Ada's shoulders and pushed her forward.

At the moment when the two were trying to squeeze to the side of the lifeboat, a brown-haired woman held Ada's hand tightly. She came here almost at the same time as Ada. "Miss! Please give me this position to my husband! He is disabled! Lost a leg in the war! Please, miss!" The brown-haired woman pointed to the man with the broken leg beside her! "We are lucky to be here! If I wait for the man to board the boat, I'm afraid he will be too late!"

"Miss, I beg you!" The man with the broken leg struggled to use the cane.

"Sir, ma'am. I also sympathize with what happened to you! But this is my most important person, she must go on board first!" Leon still hugged Ada's shoulders tightly. "If you need it, I will give you my place when I get on the ship!"

"Hey! Are the two ladies over there going aboard?" a crew member yelled from the lifeboat, urging them on.

"Please!" The brown-haired woman still grabbed Ada's arm.

"I'm really sorry!" Leon pushed Ada forward, "Ada! Go!"

"No! Leon!" Ada shrank back hard, and she looked at Leon firmly, "Let that man's husband go first!"

"Really? Thank you, kind lady!" The brown-haired woman and her husband thanked Ada at the same time, and then boarded the lifeboat after explaining the situation to the crew.

"Get out of the way if you don't get on!" A rude woman pushed ahead of Ada and took her place.
