Delile walked over, leaned down and straightened Parker's clothes, and then shook his hand that was not cold yet, with tears in her eyes.
"Parker, God bless you!"
She held Parker's hand tightly, closed her eyes and prayed for him.
Arthur also knelt down, clasped his hands on his chest, and joined in the prayer sincerely.
After a while, the prayer was over. Delile put Parker's hands away, stood up, sprinkled a handful of sand with a gloomy expression, and shouted in a low voice: "Arthur..."
Arthur understood and began to bury Parker. Soon, the thick sand covered Parker's gradually stiffening body.
It wasn't until the pile formed a high sand slope that Arthur stopped and looked down at the sand slope in a daze.
They had no guns. If they managed to escape, they would be dead without food and water.
In addition, they are very unfamiliar with this desert. Basically, they will die if they escape, and if they don't escape, they will die.
"Arthur, in a moment, I will ask Maurice to give you food and water, and you can go on your own!" Delile whispered.
"No, no, madam, I will never leave you alone unless I die." Arthur expressed firm opposition to this proposal.
Delile never treats her subordinates badly, so Arthur never thought of escaping alone at this time.
"Madam, we'd better wait for an opportunity to escape together!"
"No," Delile shook her head, "Maurice didn't kill us now because he hasn't gotten what he wants yet. He is a cruel man. If you stay, you are just going to die. Let's go!
Parker said, you have been with me for several years. I'm sorry, I don't remember the past. But I know your loyalty. You can go back to the west. I will secretly write a power of attorney for you to take away.
I will give you whatever is left for you. Anyway, now that Parker is dead, I have no one to entrust these things to."
After saying that, Delile wiped the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand. In fact, death was not scary to her.
What she fears most is loneliness. Now that Parker is gone, she feels as if she is the only one in the big world.
In the vast sea of people, no one was close to her to remember her for her.
For a woman who can lose all her memories at any time, living is also a kind of sadness, but death is a kind of relief.
"Madam, it is my responsibility to protect you. Unless I die, I will never leave." Arthur was very moved. Delile's generosity and tolerance strengthened his determination to stay.
Delile stopped talking, and in the silence, time seemed to have stood still.
"Arthur, are you really not going to leave? I am determined to die..."
"I won't let you die!"
Suddenly, a deep and mellow man's voice floated in the air, which was both familiar and unfamiliar.
Delile and Arthur were startled, and both turned to look in the direction of the sound, only to realize that the two men who had been guarding them with guns had disappeared.
"King?" Delile exclaimed in a low voice, why is he here? Where have all Morris's people gone?
She was a little panicked, lowered her body, and ran over following the sound.
Suddenly, she ran into someone's arms, and then a pair of strong arms hugged her delicate body tightly.
"I won't let you die, I won't abandon you, never!" Feng Hao's voice was charming in the dark night, with a bit of surprise and excitement in his tone.
He found this place after traveling day and night and making precise judgments along the way.
