Virginity in second marriages by Angela
Chapter 715: It's raining

Hearing Matthew's words, the nurse looked a little uncertain, bit her red lips and then looked carefully at the picture on the screen for a while, "Well, the patients are all resting. Go in and look for him carefully, alone. The gentleman is also right. After all, they are already very tired. It must be different from the one in the picture, maybe? is that why I didn't recognize him?

After saying this, the nurse looked at the photo again.

The man in the photo had a handsome face. He is the kind of man who would never be forgotten after one look, and if one of the rescued survivors looked like him, the nurse was sure he would not have forgotten him.

But... Matteo's words made her hesitate.

They were looking for his family, and she could not rush to judgment.

-Thank you, let's go replace him then, II Matteo reached out and took the phone from Serena, and then gently pushed her shoulder, -Move carefully, I'll go with you,II he said.

Serena nodded with a pale face, "Okay, okay," she said with a shiver.

She said with a shudder. Matteo took her by the shoulders and escorted her into the living room. Because of the accident and the fact that there was only one hospital nearby, and not a particularly large one, they had limited beds and had had to add beds to the wards, some of which had been added in the hallways.

Matthew took Serena through the wards one by one, but she never saw the familiar man.

Serena was unflappable and said nothing the whole time. After looking a few times in silence, she did not see Cristian, so she went back to look for him, fearing that he had run away.

First time...

Second time...

Third time...

He did not know how many times he had looked, but Serena kept looking. Matteo could not help but grab her slender white wrist, forcing her to stop.

-Stop looking, Cristian is not here.

Serena looked up and her eyes fell on Matteo's face, puzzled.

-Matteo, maybe we missed him, if he is not here...then where is he now?

To this question, Matteo could not answer, and he did not know how to answer. He could only bite his thin lips, holding his shoulders seriously, -It's too late now. The search and rescue teams won't start rescue until tomorrow, we've looked here six or seven times, but we haven't seen Cristian, -Now it's too late.

-No..." Serena nodded, -We didn't see him, but maybe we missed him, what do you think? Should we ask the nurse again?

Matteo looked at her helplessly, "Don't be silly. All the saved are here. If we cannot replace him here, he is not here. All we have to do now is to replace a place to rest. And tomorrow, when you wake up, we will follow the search and rescue team again.

Surprisingly, Serena's eyes and expression were calm, which was strange. Chiara, who was standing beside her, could not resist stepping forward at the sight of her.

-Yes, miss. Health is important. Take care of yourself so you can replace Mr. Cristian Ferrari.

She said this in the hope that Serena would take care of herself and return to the hotel to rest. But the same trick would not work twice. When she heard his words, Serena shook her head.

-I can't sleep.

Then she looked at Matteo and grabbed his sleeve: -I want to go back and look for him.

Matteo could take no more and said seriously, -Stop being flippant. It's already dark and windy out there. Didn't you hear the officer say the current is strong and dangerous? Besides, even if you went, what could you do? Stay there and stand guard? Stand guard for a night? And will Cristian show up?

His voice was firm and stern, like that of a stern old man.

Beside them, Chiara watched them with trepidation.

Serena was in such a state that she should have been consoled. After all, she had been the most affected by what had happened, but she had not shed a tear or fallen and followed everyone everywhere. She had not expected Matthew to say those harsh words to her at that moment. Chiara thought for a moment and then hurried to take Serena's arm, explaining in a soft voice, "Miss, your brother doesn't want to blame you. It's just that when we got to the hospital, they were already transenneling there and we had to leave. Even if we go back now, we can't get in. Why don't we go back to the hotel and rest for the night? And after we rest, we'll go there and look around, okay?

Matthew stood to the side, his eyes cold.

Serena lowered her eyes and said softly, "I know you're doing this for my sake, but... I can't go back to the hotel to sleep, you know....

-I know, we all know," Chiara took her by the shoulders and continued to gently persuade her, "But you can't neglect your health. Think about it-it's already cold and she's already tired from running around all day in her wedding dress. Besides, it's too late now, if she went, she would get sick. Miss, I'm not accusing you. I think if she insists, first she should go back to the hotel to change her clothes, take a bath, sleep for a while, as long as she wants, and recover a little. Tomorrow -- shall we see if we can get on the search and rescue team's boat and go look for him together?

This last sentence moved Serena.

-Is that possible?

Chiara thought for a moment, -I will talk to the officers and try to get access.

Serena nodded.

-OK, then I'll, uh, go back to the hotel, take a shower and get some rest.

Seeing her finally committed, Clare smiled, -Exactly, miss, the car is already waiting for us outside, shall we go?

-Good.

Chiara helped Serena out, and Matteo paused for about three seconds before following her.

It was already cold, especially at dusk. The cold breeze blew in their ears as they left the hospital, so it was quite warm when they got into the car. After getting into the car, Serena was always huddled in a corner, hugging her shoulders and looking very isolated.

The car had been driving for about ten minutes when it started raining outside.

-It's raining...II murmured Clare unconsciously as she looked out the window.

After saying that, she immediately stopped talking. She had been thinking about something.

"It's raining in this weather... It's not a good thing."

Chiara unconsciously looked at Serena.

Indeed, Serena, who had been huddled and not moving, stood up abruptly at the sound of rain. -It's raining.

Clare looked out the window and said in a reassuring voice, -Just a little, it shouldn't rain much.
