Chapter 103 Night at the CDC (The End)
......
boom......
Sean slammed the hall door shut, deliberately making a noise.
"..."
Lori was startled by the sudden sound. She turned around and, seeing it was Sean, relaxed, then said with a hint of reproach, "Good heavens, you scared me to death..."
"I need to tell you something, so listen carefully..."
Sean got straight to the point.
He had a lot on his mind and wanted to have a good talk with Lori all along.
"Not now..."
Lori refused without even thinking.
She took a sip of red wine and then turned her attention back to the book in her hands.
"Alright, so when should I say that...?"
Sean couldn't understand why Lori was being so cold to him now. He looked at Lori and questioned, "How could you treat me like this?"
"Are you kidding me?"
"Do not......"
"Because you told me that my husband is dead..."
Lori glared at Sean and said resentfully.
After saying that, she walked past Sean and was about to leave, not wanting to be in the same room with him.
Seeing her about to leave, Sean hurriedly chased after her, repeatedly explaining, "I didn't lie..."
"Okay? Really, no..."
Now that we have such a rare opportunity to be alone, we can't let Lori leave like this.
Do you know what's going on in the hospital?
As Sean spoke, he quickly closed the hall door, then blocked the entrance and looked at Lori, saying:
"Listen to me, everything has collapsed. They're killing people in the hallways, it's a massacre, there are zombies everywhere..."
"You just left him like that?"
"Everyone's run away! There's no doctor left! I'm the only one left!"
Seeing that she was still blaming him, Sean felt extremely wronged and said, "He's connected to medical equipment, I don't know what to do..."
"I even pressed my ear against his chest to listen for a heartbeat, but there was none..."
"I don't know why, maybe it was the constant gunfire, I don't know..."
"But he couldn't possibly survive, absolutely not..."
Sean rambled on as he explained what had happened at the hospital. As he spoke, his emotions gradually flared, and he even slammed his fist on the wooden door in a fit of rage.
"But he survived..."
Lori no longer believes Sean's explanation.
"Yes! But I also have to consider you all, and you and Karl..."
Sean pushed Lori back to sit down, and said excitedly, "I have to consider your safety..."
"Do not......"
"I have to get you safely to Atlanta, I have to..."
"Don't do this..."
Seeing that Sean was emotionally agitated and somewhat out of control, Lori became a little scared and wanted him to calm down first.
"Think about it carefully..."
Sean didn't care about anything else at this point. He looked directly into Lori's eyes and said, "If he were still alive, would you leave?"
"So, I saved you..."
"You and your son, I saved you, didn't I?"
"..."
Lori was speechless. She couldn't refute Sean's words at all, because what he said was true.
Seeing that she had nothing to say, Sean continued, "If you want me to switch places with him, I'm willing!"
"I'd be willing to switch places with him right now..."
"..."
"No no no..."
Seeing that she was about to object, Sean confessed his love directly, "Listen carefully, I love you!"
No, you're drunk.
"I know you love me too, otherwise you wouldn't be so cold to me,"
As Sean spoke, he began to grope Lori. The alcohol amplified his desires, causing him to completely lose his senses.
"Sean, stop!"
Lori naturally resisted fiercely; she hadn't expected Sean to be so insane.
"Listen, you love me..."
"Let me go, let me go!"
"I love you, but there's no one here..."
Click...
Just as the two were entangled, the sound of the door opening suddenly came from inside.
"No, stop!"
When Lori heard someone coming, she desperately reached out and scratched Sean's neck.
"what......"
Sean, in pain, released Lori and took several steps back.
At that moment, both of them saw that the hall door had been opened, and Susan stood at the doorway in shock.
"..."
Sean turned his head and saw Lori looking distressed and in tears, which brought him back to his senses.
He didn't say anything more, just glared at Susan, then turned and left angrily.
"Woooooooo..."
Lori breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that only Susan had come. After Sean left, she buried her face in her hands and cried helplessly.
"Lori, are you alright?"
Ignoring her shock, Susan quickly went over to check and saw that Lori's clothes were still intact, indicating that Sean had not succeeded.
Susan was slightly relieved, and then gently comforted her, "It's alright, he's gone, no one will hurt you anymore..."
"Woooooooo..."
Lori cried for a while longer before finally managing to compose herself.
"Dr. Susan, please don't misunderstand, we..."
Fearing Susan might misunderstand, she laid out the whole story between them, then, holding Susan's hand and with tears streaming down her face, said, "Sean is getting more and more out of control..."
"I don't know what to do?"
"..."
After hearing Lori's story, Susan felt very sorry for her and didn't know how to comfort her.
As a married woman herself, she understood Lori's difficulties very well. However, her own situation with Lee Allen was also a mess, and she didn't know who to confide in about her troubles.
Lori, of course, was unaware of Susan's inner turmoil. She wiped away her tears, then looked at Susan with red, pleading eyes, "Dr. Susan, please don't tell anyone about tonight's events, especially Rick. I don't want him to know..."
"please......"
"Don't worry, I won't say anything."
Susan realized what was happening and quickly nodded to her, making a serious promise.
"Thanks......"
Lori looked at Susan and said gratefully.
"..."
Susan watched Lori's hurried departure, lost in thought in the hall.
Unexpectedly discovering their secret actually lessened Susan's inner turmoil. Her feelings were now complex and difficult to understand; she couldn't even concentrate on reading...
...Rick's family's room.
Click...
The door to the room was opened gently, and Rick walked in from outside.
"..."
Seeing that Lori and Carl seemed to be asleep, he quietly closed the door.
Then he turned off the lights in the room, and just as he climbed into bed and pulled his wife into his arms to go to sleep, he found that she was not asleep.
Lori was seen with tears welling up in her eyes; she was secretly crying in bed.
"..."
Rick thought Lori was afraid because she was worried about their future, so he reached out and stroked her face, gently comforting her, "We don't need to be afraid anymore."
"We are safe here..."
"Okay?"
"..."
Lori looked at her husband speechlessly, and seeing how tenderly he comforted her, she really didn't have the courage to tell him about her relationship with Sean.
Self-blame, regret, fear, and other emotions swirled within her, and she finally fell into a deep sleep in Rick's arms...
