Chapter 418 You Are Out Of Your Mind
Everyone at the door trembled because of the freezing temperature, except for Samuel, whose expression remained deadpan as he moved toward the inside of the cold storage.
Even though he was unsure if Natalie was inside, he had to find out for himself.
When Scarlett realized that Samuel intended to enter the cold storage in his dress suit, she grabbed hold of the man’s arm to stop him from advancing. “What do you think you’re doing, Samuel? Are you trying to get yourself killed?”
“Take your hand off of me.” Samuel’s tone was almost as cold as the temperature inside the cold storage.
“No! I am not going to let you throw your life away like that.” Scarlett was convinced that Natalie had already frozen to death since three hours had passed. Natalie has to be dead somewhere in the cold storage by now, so there’s nothing Samuel can do to save her. If I let him walk in there, he’s only going to get himself hurt, and I don’t want to see that happen.
“Just because you’re a woman doesn’t mean that I won’t get physical with you, Scarlett.”
“I don’t care what you do to me, but I’m not letting go!” insisted Scarlett as she tightened her grip on the man. “Even if you were to go in now, what can you possibly hope to change? If Natalie really is in there, she will have frozen to death a long time ago. I’m not trying to stop you from finding her, but could you please just wait a little longer? At least until they get you proper clothing. If it’s fate that she died in there, there’s nothing you can do to change it. I don’t want you to get hurt because of a dead person!” Has he gone nuts? It is below -15°C inside!
Scarlett thought that she was being very reasonable with Samuel, so she expected the man to listen to her.
However, to Scarlett’s surprise, Samuel forcefully pulled his arm away from her.
The woman lost her balance because of Samuel’s sheer strength and fell flat on her face.
Lying on the ground with her fists tightly clenched, Scarlett started to develop hatred for Samuel, for she could feel everyone watching and judging her as though she was a fool.
At that moment, Scarlett wished for nothing more than to see the look on Samuel’s face when he found Natalie dead.
As soon as Samuel broke free from Scarlett, he started making his way inside the cold storage without waiting for Yana, Hans, Billy, or the others.
To him, rescuing Natalie was all that mattered.
Although the cold inside felt like razors cutting his skin, Samuel showed no signs of slowing down.
The cold storage was dimly lit, and there were boxes and hanging meat everywhere.
“Nat! Where are you?” shouted Samuel as he searched the place, but the only response that he received was the echo of his own voice.
All of a sudden, Samuel spotted a phone, and he could immediately tell that it was the one that belonged to Natalie.
The man then picked up the device and realized it had already turned off. Because of the freezing temperature, the phone was as hard and cold as an ice cube. If Nat’s phone is here, she must’ve been here somewhere!
However, when Samuel remembered how the cold storage door was locked, his heart immediately sank.
It felt like someone had suddenly stabbed him in the heart with the cold hard truth. If Natalie is still here, that means… I can’t bring myself to imagine what has happened to her. What do I do without her?
Samuel then started coughing, for the emotional stress and the sheer cold eating away at him was getting too much for him to bear.
Still, the man drew on his willpower to continue with his search.
After he had only managed to take a few steps, Samuel realized that he was starting to get blurry vision.
Before long, the man lost his consciousness and collapsed onto the ground.
