Why it never ends

Chapter 1125 Group photo

Hesta felt Ximoya approaching, and she raised her head.

A disheveled face appeared in front of Ximoya.

Hesta's nosebleed had not completely stopped. She repeatedly raised her head. Although the amount of bleeding was decreasing, it seemed that there was always blood flowing out. Ximoya saw that there were blurred bloody fingerprints on Hesta's cheeks. She seemed to want to erase these bloodstains, but in vain, they made them more conspicuous.

Ximoya looked at her, looking at such a face - as if it had just escaped from hell, so chaotic, cruel, and yet so eye-catching.

"...Don't raise your head. It won't stop the bleeding." Ximoya stepped forward and supported her cheeks and jaw. "Sit up straight and lean forward slightly—"

"I know," Hesta interrupted her, "I just wanted to see if it was still flowing."

However, Hesta did not struggle. She let Ximoya adjust her sitting position and turned her eyes to her: "How is Victoria's side? Is everything intact?"

"They're still cleaning up. Officer Si Lei seemed surprised that you allowed so many people to build cabins in your backyard—"

"What's so surprising about this?"

"This is totally against fire regulations," Ximoya said. "Once a fire breaks out... you've seen the result anyway."

"...There's nothing we can do about it. If she hadn't come earlier," Hesta said, "Wouldn't this have happened if she had come two weeks earlier?"

Just as Ximoya was about to say something, she heard footsteps behind her. Hesta looked behind her and stood up immediately.

"Turan..." Hesta said softly, "Is Rico okay?"

"Sit down." Turan pressed Hesta's shoulders and pressed her back against the tree trunk lying beside the road. "Let me check on you - are you still bleeding?"

"It seems so, but not as much as before."

"It's been almost half an hour, and the bleeding hasn't stopped yet. It could be a broken nose." Turan took out a cotton ball and alcohol, gently wiped the skin around Hesta's nose, and then picked up a small flashlight to observe the nasal cavity. "...It could also be that there is deeper blood vessel damage. Anyway, you have to go to the hospital...Are you dizzy? Is your vision blurry?"

Hesta shook his head.

"That's good. Is Sophie coming tomorrow? You can take her car to the city. You may have a mild concussion. Be careful in the next two days. Don't lower your head or bend over suddenly, or do strenuous exercise... Otherwise, it will easily get worse."

Turan put away the flashlight.

"I'm really impressed by you two."

……

Thunder rumbled in the sky again, dark pink lightning pierced through the dark clouds in the distance, and the wind started to blow again. Everything indicated that heavy rain was coming.

The people who were originally sitting in the yard began to move into the house or to the corridor. The resulting noise and the wind mixed with the smell of night rain woke Stella up from her sleep again.

She rubbed her eyes, waiting for her vision to become clear. During this process, she smelled a strong burnt smell, like a bonfire, but more choking and sour.

Stella slowly stood up and walked into the foggy night rain. The fire in the distance shone in her eyes, causing her to be stunned for a moment.

"…It's on fire!!" Stella began to scream, "It's on fire! It's on fire!"

Her behavior caused a sudden burst of laughter, and many people looked at the woman with messy hair curiously, wondering what she meant by saying such a thing.

"With-"

"Everyone just escaped, Stella." Si Lei walked to her side quietly and said softly, "I'm glad you're okay." Stella was startled by the voice.

Si Lei?

But why is Si Lei here...

She stared at Si Lei in a daze for a while, then covered her face with her hands.

"I was so scared," Stella sighed and suddenly smiled in relief, "I thought there was a real fire... It turned out to be a dream."

Si Lei: “Hmm?”

Before Si Lei could ask, Stella suddenly gave her a very strong hug.

"Officer! It seems that I really miss you!" Stella's voice still has a bit of a jokey tone, "I will write you an email tomorrow! Tell you that I dreamed of you - I dreamed of you in a fire!"

Si Lei didn't know how to respond, but at this moment, she was suddenly moved.

"…It wasn't a dream. It really burned. The fire started at the construction site. Ximoya discovered the danger first, and then the fire was blown to Hesta's backyard by the wind. Everything caught fire. That's it."

Stella was stunned when she heard this.

"...It's really you?" She opened her eyes wide in surprise, "You're here! Why are you here?"

"The assassin showed up, so I came too."

At this moment, the alcohol had not completely worn off, so Stella felt even more intense happiness and more confused thoughts. She shook her head and sighed, saying "that's great" repeatedly, and even wanted to dance in the rain with Si Lei - Si Lei pulled his hand back, so she turned around a few times by herself.

The fire in the distance came into Stella's sight again. She stood there as if she realized for the first time that it was a real fire. Then she thought of something and began to shout "Eleanor! Eleanor——"

A young girl poked her head out from the hallway, "What's wrong Stella?"

"Where's my camera? Bring me my camera! Everyone gather together - let's take a group photo!"

The crowd suddenly quieted down. Hesta was about to enter the house, but when he heard this, he turned around.

"What kind of group photo are we taking..." The girl named Eleanor looked at her somewhat unreliable leader in confusion, "Sister, there's a fire over there..."

"Yes, it's on fire. The fire is so big, isn't it?" Stella pointed to the sky, "Look at the rain, it will definitely get heavier soon. If we don't take a photo, the fire will be out!"

Although Eleanor was not at all convinced, she hurried back to the house and fetched Stella's camera and waterproof housing.

"Call out all our people!" Stella continued to wave her hands, "Whoever wants to take pictures together, just come over, Jane! Where are your people, come over too!"

"I won't go," Hesta said, "There are so many documents, someone has to look after them..."

A few minutes later, a large group of people marched towards the burning main house. Hesta and Victoria were guarding the materials and Arevalo in the studio. Almost all the remaining mercury needles were gone. Not only the mercury needles, but after Eunice described Stella's announcement to Vosunda, the old man also stood up happily and shared this amazing idea with everyone in the local dialect.

No one disliked this absurd idea, and many people burst into laughter the moment they understood it. This sound penetrated the glass and fell into the ears of Victoria and Hesta, reminding them of Manna in the mountains.

She and her friends all seemed to be laughing in the same way.
