By the time they got downstairs, the lobby on the first floor had been completely submerged. They had no choice but to jump out of the window at the end of the second-floor corridor.
Hearing the roar, the residents of the nearby high-rise buildings poked their heads out to see what was going on.
The guests of the hotel also came to see.
Mary was sitting on a kayak and was brought to the front of the yacht.
Natalie came out of the yacht, waved at Mary, and told them to get on the boat.
“Miss Mary, this is my father! He heard that you saved me and Grandma, so he must come and thank you personally!”
Natalie’s father came out from behind and immediately held Mary’s hand warmly and excitedly to express his gratitude to her.
Mary introduced Monroe to Natalie’s father. Natalie’s father looked at Monroe for a while, as if he remembered something, and his face showed fear.
Monroe gave Natalie’s father a check, which was the money for the yacht, but Natalie’s father said he didn’t want it.
“My daughter is worth a thousand gold pieces; this is my way of thanking you for saving her! Goodbye, everyone!”
After saying that, Natalie’s father jumped onto another speedboat with Natalie and quickly left the scene.
Mary poked her head out from behind and asked Monroe, “Did he recognize you? He seems to be afraid of you!”
Monroe replied, “I don’t know.”
He looked down at Mary who was wearing a raincoat and suddenly wanted to ask her, ‘why aren’t you afraid of me?’.
The rain was still very heavy.
They turned on the automatic drainage system of the yacht and moored at a more reliable location before returning to the hotel.
The people of Raging Flame were very happy and praised Mary all the way back.
Indeed, if it weren’t for Mary’s wit, intelligence, courage, or her good luck, they didn’t know how many more troublesome things they would have encountered along the way.
Apart from Mary and Monroe, the rest went down on the 11th floor.
When the elevator door on the 12th floor opened, Mary saw two familiar faces.
“Miss Mary!”
“Miss Dawson, it’s great to see you back safely!”
It was Avra Green and her son, Jack.
“Hello!” Mary waved her hand. “Did you come here specifically to look for me?”
Avra blushed and lowered her head in embarrassment. “We did come here to look for you. We… want to ask Miss Dawson for some supplies… I can buy them! I can pay any amount!”
Mary stared at Avra for a moment. “I’m sorry. We have too many people and we don’t have enough supplies.”
Avra looked anxious. “Please, Miss Dawson! You already have a yacht. Can’t you squeeze a little for me and my son? You were so brave to help Natalie and her grandmother…”
Mary’s face turned cold. “It’s my business who I want to help. It’s my freedom to not want to help anyone! Do you want to morally manipulate me?”
Avra immediately lowered her head pitifully. “I’m sorry, I’m the one… forcing you… I’m sorry, Miss Dawson! I thought we were friends… I even prayed for you to come back safely, so I was overthinking things…”
Avra pulled her son and turned to leave.
Monroe stopped her. “Which room are you staying in?”
Avra turned to Monroe with a puzzled look. “I’m staying at 504, sir.”
Monroe nodded. “Okay, I got it. I’ll get someone to bring you some necessities later.”
Avra’s beautiful face was immediately filled with surprise. “Thank you, sir! Thank you so much!”
Little Jack stared at Mary. Before entering the elevator, he suddenly said, “I hate Miss Mary. She’s not a hero!”
Avra covered her son’s mouth. As the elevator door closed, Mary saw her have indifferent expression.
Mary turned and went back to her room.
Monroe didn’t explain anything to her. After a while, Mary heard the door close.
Mary came out of her room and came to Monroe’s door and knocked but there was no response.
She opened the door and saw that Monroe’s room was clean, but at the moment, it was empty.
