Was this it?
Claire was incredibly unwilling to die. She had just found her prince charming!
However, the more Claire panicked, the harder it was for her to get up. The bathroom floor felt like it was coated in butter.
At the same time, the exposed wire was about to fall into the water.
Just then, Claire suddenly heard a knock on the door.
It was Roy!
So, Claire immediately activated her summoning magic.
"Roy, help me!"
Hotel room key cards usually only come one to a room. Once the card is removed, the power in the room goes off, so Roy hadn't taken the key card with him.
Roy, outside the door, faintly heard Claire's cries for help. Without hesitation, he kicked the door open and rushed inside.
At that moment, the wire fell right into the water in the bathroom, and Claire instantly started convulsing.
"Claire!"
Roy grabbed Claire and pulled her out of the water.
This voltage probably wouldn't kill an average person instantly. Roy just felt a slight tingling in his body.
As for Claire, she just seemed a little out of it. Roy must have gotten to her in time.
"Roy, did I just see a halo above your head?"
"Never mind that right now! I'm taking you to the hospital immediately!"
Just then, some staff members rushed over. The security guard probably saw someone kick down the door on the security cameras.
"Sir, what happened?"
Roy was furious. He immediately started cursing.
"Damn it! How can the stuff in your hotel be so flimsy? I'm definitely going to sue you!"
With that, Roy picked up Claire and left the hotel, driving his Bumblebee to the hospital.
Public healthcare in America can be really slow, but private hospitals are super efficient.
Roy wasn't short on cash, so he had Claire checked into the emergency room at a private hospital right away.
Claire fell into a coma soon after Roy brought her to the hospital and didn't wake up until the afternoon of the next day.
"Roy, am I still alive?"
Claire groggily opened her eyes, first seeing the stark white ceiling, and then Roy beside her.
"Of course you're still alive. No one's going to take you away from me!"
This made Claire feel touched.
Roy held Claire's hand and started asking her about what happened last night.
"Claire, why did that kind of thing happen last night?"
Claire frowned and thought for a moment. She was still a little hazy from just waking up. Then her memory became clearer, and she recalled what happened before she passed out.
After listening to Claire's description, Roy frowned deeply. This was just too weird!
How could such a coincidence happen?
Then, Claire brought up another thing. The person who contacted her during the day yesterday had also died, and in a really strange way – impaled by a steel beam that fell from high up.
"I'm starting to wonder if the airline is really behind this?"
Claire's words made Roy chuckle. He touched Claire's forehead.
"How could a small airline have that much power? Don't overthink it, Claire. Let's get you something to eat. You haven't had anything since last night."
As if on cue, Claire's stomach rumbled loudly, making her a little embarrassed.
So Roy took out a bowl of oatmeal from a thermos and fed it to Claire spoonful by spoonful.
Even though the oatmeal was pretty bland, with hardly any flavor, Claire ate it happily and quickly finished the whole bowl.
"I'm full!"
Claire's face was a little flushed because she had accidentally eaten twice her usual portion, which made her, someone who paid close attention to her figure, a bit self-conscious.
"Rest up now that you've eaten."
Roy gently wiped Claire's mouth.
"Okay! Will I still see you when I open my eyes?"
"Of course. I'll be here with you all day today."
Hearing this promise, Claire finally closed her eyes, feeling relieved.
After what happened last night, Claire only felt safe when she was by Roy's side.
Seeing Claire's breathing become steady, Roy's expression turned serious.
Claire's series of descriptions just now reminded Roy of a horror movie he had seen in his past life – "Final Destination"!
This horror movie was very unique because the antagonist was an unseen and intangible rule of death. It never appeared once from the beginning to the end of the movie, yet it could create all sorts of accidents to frantically kill off the main characters.
If it really was the Grim Reaper from "Final Destination," then they were in trouble!
Roy suddenly remembered what happened to him on the day of the plane crash – being inexplicably attacked by a shark.
In the bay of a metropolis like New York, sharks shouldn't appear under normal circumstances, but a shark did appear that night. Looking at it this way, it seemed a bit strange too.
He still needed to confirm things!
Roy left the ward and went to the hospital hallway to make a call. He wanted to check if anything similar had happened to the other passengers on the crashed plane.
Because it didn't look like it was related to supernatural forces on the surface, Roy first called Elena from the FBI for help.
Elena gave him the contact information for the New York FBI, so Roy called that number to get in touch with them.
The call connected quickly, and a middle-aged man's voice answered.
Roy quickly explained his request.
"If it's just investigating the current situation of the crashed plane passengers, it's simple, but..."
Judging by this, this FBI agent wanted something in return.
But that wasn't surprising. If Roy didn't offer anything, this guy would probably use Elena's favor.
Since that was the case, it was better for Roy to just pay some money.
"Twenty thousand dollars. You help me sort this out, the sooner the better!"
Just investigating the situation of some ordinary people, and they were mostly all in New York now. This amount of money was more than enough.
"Deal! But I want cash. Once I have the money, I'll send the information to your email."
"Okay! What should I call you, sir?"
"You can call me Anonymous."
It would still take some time for Anonymous to get the results, so Roy returned to the ward to continue watching over Claire. He found that Claire had opened her eyes.
"Claire, why aren't you asleep?"
"I can't really sleep."
Claire's eyes were fixed on Roy.
"Claire, you didn't think I left, did you? I just went out to make a phone call. You don't have to be scared. I told you I'd be here with you today."
Hearing this, Claire smiled happily, but then she thought of something else.
"But you have your World Championship qualifier tonight!"
Reminded by Claire, Roy also remembered that he had a competition to play. Going back and forth from the hospital to the venue would take at least an hour, and that didn't even include the traffic.
Traffic in an international metropolis like New York is usually very bad. You could easily get stuck for two hours.
Should he leave for two hours? Roy hesitated.
Although according to the plot of the movie he had seen, after someone on Death's list was saved, it would just move on to the next person on the list, who knew if the Grim Reaper in this world would be any different?
Roy had encountered events where the movie plot had changed significantly before.
Seeing Roy's hesitation, Claire smiled.
"Roy, I'm fine now. You can go to your competition tonight without worry. Don't miss the Olympics that happen once every four years!"
Claire naturally knew how important the Olympics were to an athlete, so she decisively forgot the promise Roy had just made to stay with her.
Even though Claire was so understanding, Roy was still worried.
Actually, there was another way. As long as he could get someone to protect Claire in his place, this problem could be solved.
If Jennifer hadn't left New York yet, she could just fill that role.
The question was, should he let Claire and Jennifer meet?
Claire saw Roy's face full of hesitation and felt a little strange.
"Roy, are you worried about me? I won't be angry. It's just a little disappointing that I can't watch your performance live."
Roy let out a breath and finally decided to be honest.
"Claire, I'm worried that you might be in danger when I'm not here."
"Isn't this a private hospital? What danger could there still be?"
"Anyway, I don't want to lose you because of a competition, so I want to find someone to take care of you in my place."
As a psychologist, Claire naturally had high emotional intelligence. She immediately understood Roy's hidden meaning.
"The person you found to take care of me... is it a woman?"
Roy nodded.
"Is it the woman you went out to see yesterday?"
"Yes."
But she was only one of them.
Claire really understood everything. It's just that smart women know how to play dumb, while foolish women like to pretend to be smart.
"Is there anything special about her?"
Since he had already made a decision, Roy didn't hide anything anymore.
"Jennifer is a powerful witch. She can ensure your safety."
Claire showed a thoughtful expression. She could see something in Roy's serious look.
"Okay then, Roy."
Seeing that Claire didn't look angry, Roy temporarily breathed a sigh of relief.
It was only temporary, after all, Claire was a doctor of psychology. Roy couldn't guess what she was thinking.
"Then I'll call her now."
Roy left the ward and took out his phone. Claire behind him had a somewhat dim look in her eyes.
"Hey, Jennifer, are you still in New York?"
"I just put Needy and the others on the plane. What's wrong?"
As soon as he heard that Needy, Heather, and Penny were also flying home, Roy felt a little uneasy.
Surely not every plane would run into the Grim Reaper, right?
"Did you know there was a plane crash in New York a few days ago?"
The plane Roy was on crashed, but no one died. It quickly made the national headlines, and even people in the countryside of Texas knew about it.
"You're talking about that? Don't worry. The airlines have been doing very strict checks recently. It's impossible for accidents to happen one after another."
Jennifer seemed quite relieved and didn't think as much as Roy did.
So, Roy explained Claire's situation to Jennifer, as well as some of his guesses.
Jennifer was very surprised after listening.
"There's actually such a thing? Where are you? I'll come over right now!"
With that, Jennifer hung up the phone.
Half an hour later, Jennifer arrived at the private hospital and found Roy standing outside Claire's ward.
"Roy, I just asked Lilith on the way here. She said she knows what situation you guys have encountered."
Sure enough, an elder in the family is a treasure!
Jennifer's words made Roy's eyes light up.
"Oh, then let Lilith come out and talk to me!"
Jennifer closed and opened her eyes, and her aura underwent a huge change.
"Little Roy, I didn't expect your luck to be so bad that you'd actually run into something like this."
Lilith's tone was full of teasing, which made Roy a bit annoyed.
"Cut the crap. Just tell me what exactly is going on."
"Don't rush. I need to check you and the other woman first. Let's go inside."
People were coming and going in the hospital hallway. If she released witchcraft, it would easily be seen by others, so Lilith directly entered the ward.
Then, Claire and Lilith met for the first time.
"Wow! She's definitely a beauty. No wonder you can't bear to part with her, Little Roy!"
Lilith's attitude was quite frivolous, which made Claire, who came from a respectable family, frown a bit. However, Lilith was also kind of complimenting herself, so she just frowned and didn't say anything.
But Roy didn't want Claire to develop a negative feeling towards Jennifer, so he slapped Lilith on the butt, and a crisp sound echoed throughout the ward.
"Tone it down!"
Lilith looked at Roy pitifully, seeming like she still wanted to play around for a bit, but when she saw Roy's gaze become sharp, she didn't dare to continue.
"Ahem! I need to check your and Claire's bodies."
"Don't you need to check me?"
Lilith shook her head.
"You're a Nephilim. Your physical fitness is so strong that it's not representative at all. We still need to look at the situation of ordinary people."
That did make sense.
"Then hurry up and start!"
Claire curiously watched Lilith and Roy's conversation. The conversation between the two just now made even her, a doctor, not quite understand.
Jennifer walked to Claire's side and directly started taking off her clothes, giving the beautiful doctor a fright.
"You, what are you doing!"
Lilith rolled her eyes.
"Of course it's to examine you! What are you afraid of? You've already done it with Roy, and I'm a woman too. What else is there to be embarrassed about?"
"How do you know about me and Roy..."
Claire blurted out a sentence, but she stopped talking at the crucial moment.
"Hehe, I can also see that you were still a pure virgin two days ago. It was only the day before yesterday that Roy..."
Claire widened her eyes and then looked at Roy with some anger, thinking that he had said it.
Roy spread his hands out and helplessly shrugged his shoulders.
"Claire, I didn't tell anyone about us. I told you Jennifer is a witch. She figured it out herself."
Roy always called Lilith Jennifer in front of others to avoid exposing Lilith's existence.
Actually, only Roy, Needy, and Elizabeth knew about Jennifer having one body and two souls.
Claire chose to believe Roy, so she stopped struggling.
"Go ahead!"
Lilith unbuttoned Claire's hospital gown. She saw the two perfectly shaped headlights inside, but her gaze wasn't on the headlights, but on the position between them, which is the heart.
"As expected."
