One Child Two Treasures: The Billionaire Chief’s Good Wife

age inside.
Besides, we’re in the basement now.”

Sure enough, after she turned on the phone, there was no signal on its display, and she was unable to make a call.

“What to do? The phone really has no signal at all.”

With no Internet and signal, it was impossible to communicate their plight to the outside world.

She started panicking, feeling very helpless.

No one responded to the alarm bell, and the phone had no signal; it was as if they were lost in the wild, isolated from help and caught in a predicament like this.

He frowned as he patiently pressed the alarm bell repeatedly.
It was unknown if the elevator lacked maintenance over the years or other reasons, but no one responded at all.

Were the people in the security room dozing off, or did they secretly leave their post to go play?

Half an hour later, no one still responded.
Frustrated, he punched the metallic doors of the elevator and finally gave up.

She sighed.

“Are we now on basement three?”

“Mhm.”

She pressed on.
“Then, will the elevator resume its braking?”

“It won’t.”

In case of a malfunction, it will stop the lift’s braking.”

“So, now, we can only wait for the maintenance personnel to come, right?”

He pondered on this for a moment before he slowly answered, “Yes, that’s the only way.”

Suddenly, as if having lost her strength, she despaired, “When will they find out that there are people trapped in the elevator?”

He peered at her, suddenly walked up to her, and picked up a fallen blanket to cover her.
“Don’t be scared.
Someone will find out tomorrow morning at the latest, and that is just the worst-case scenario.”

The consolation on his face gave her a great deal of faith.

She calmed down as a corollary.
“Mhm.”
