Comprehensive experience of time and space

Chapter 115 Titanic (End) (1/2)

Six large and small ships arrived one after another more than half an hour apart. Everyone got on the boat, and the waiters and doctors on the boat were as busy as tops keeping everyone warm and treating patients. No one died or fell into coma. Everyone was assigned a room, where they could take a hot bath and rest in a dry bed. These six ships were all found by Karl. When he sent the telegram before, he had promised to pay a large sum of money. After experiencing this disaster, Karl promised to pay double the reward. As long as they Send these passengers safely to New York.

Carl can even buy the Heart of the Ocean, which once belonged to the royal family, which shows that the Hockley family is a well-established and powerful noble. Although the amount paid this time was large, selling the shares of White Star Shipping in advance was enough to make up for the loss.

Karl and Leger were arranged in a first-class suite. After sending a telegram to William telling him about their situation, they also asked him to prepare in New York. Hockley wanted to take advantage of this rare opportunity to create a positive image. Gain a higher reputation and carve out a niche in New York's business world.

When registering people on the ship, Ruth found Jack and Rufu. Although Ruf still had problems with Jack, she was now helpless and didn't even know anyone in the United States except Carl. She had to suppress her dissatisfaction and wait for the docking with them.

"Master, the old gentleman sent a telegram and said he would personally pick you up at the dock."

Karl stood on the edge of the boat and looked ahead. It was scary and gloomy last night, but today it is clear and clear. Hearing what Legie said, he smiled and said: "I'm afraid my father is worried. He is old and not in good health. From now on, I'd better stay with him as much as possible. You can contact William later and ask him to go I should report my situation to my father at home, and also inform him of my business plan.”

"Yes, Master."

After another five days, Carl finally set foot on land in New York. All newspapers and magazines in New York sent people to the pier to interview and take photos, and there were even some reporters from other countries. They had already learned part of the situation of the shipwreck from the telegrams sent back by the ships in advance, so Karl was surrounded as soon as he showed up. Questions abounded, with both admiration and suspicion. Karl only said, "Convene a press conference on another day." "Reception", he stopped speaking, and the bodyguards of the Hockley family who came over escorted him to the car.

"Father, I'm so happy to see you again!" Carl gave Old Hockley a warm hug after getting in the car. Old Hockley seemed stunned. The original owner had always acted rigorously and maturely and rarely made such an action. Old Hockley didn't think much about it, he just thought that his son had experienced life and death and had changed a lot.

Patting Karl's shoulder, Old Hockley's serious face softened a little, "Just come back! William has reported to me what happened in the past few days, and you did a good job. I think the Hockley family can Rest assured, I leave it to you!”

Karl smiled confidently: "Don't worry, father, I won't let you down!"

The excitement on the pier lasted for a long time. After all, it was difficult to get a ticket for the Titanic at that time. The passengers in the first and second class cabins were almost all celebrities and dignitaries, and any one of them had great influence.

Old Hockley could make the Hockley family stand firm among the nobility, so he naturally had a keen sense of smell in the business and political circles. From William's report, he clearly understood that the opportunity for the Hockley family to rise had arrived. Just like Carl thought, he used all his connections and established the "Titanic Disaster Charity Foundation" in just five days. It will unconditionally accept help from all passengers who suffered shipwrecks and will continue to do so in the future. Make a contribution to the maritime industry.

Those who went bankrupt due to White Star Shipping stocks, those who contracted diseases due to the harsh sea water, those who were penniless because their belongings sank at sea, those who were injured while escaping... The "Titanic Disaster Charity Foundation" provided passengers with relief after landing. Proper placement and professional social workers will guide frustrated people out of this shadow and get back on their feet.

Carl Hockley's name is almost unknown to everyone. Passengers described him as a hero when recounting the story of his death. The reputation of the Hockley family has also been enhanced by the charitable foundation. Almost all the first-class passengers who survived the shipwreck became Karl's connections, and their life-saving grace was enough for them to open the door to Karl.

Karl was busy launching new projects, busy opening branches, and busy rectifying the Hockley family. He didn't think about Ruth and Jack anymore. Although they were also considered aliens, they had fallen from the sky to the ground without him striking them. They had no rights. Without money, I believe they can't do anything extraordinary.

Karl found a surrogate mother and used artificial insemination to give birth to two boys in two years. He did not disclose any information. After paying the money, he ended the possibility of the surrogate mother finding the child. Although the woman showed no signs of wanting to find them, Hockley is not an ordinary family. Once leaked, it is likely to cause unnecessary Trouble.

He told Old Hockley that this was his illegitimate child and that the child's mother had died. After Hockley Sr. tested the DNA of his two children, he no longer urged him to get married. Instead, he focused on cultivating his two grandsons and hoped that the Hockley family would produce another outstanding heir.

Ruf and Ruth sold all the Cabot family's house, manor, jewelry, antiques, etc., not even the furniture was left, and finally paid off all the debt. Jack is a New Yorker. He took Ruth and Rufu back to his hometown. Living here, they don't have that much money to rent a house.

The people in the town were very enthusiastic. When Jack came back, they held a small party for him. At the party, Jack took Ruth to sing, dance, and kiss her heartily. They got married soon with everyone's blessing, and Ruth felt that this was everything she pursued. She smiled happily at the wedding, feeling that she finally had happiness.

However, soon, the reality overwhelmed her. She had to cook by herself when she was hungry, wash by herself when the clothes were dirty, buy what was missing by herself, clean the house by herself when it was dirty... Mother would never do that. Start cleaning up, but she doesn't know how to do it. At first she thought it was new, and Jack would help her, but as time went by, these housework became her sole responsibility, because Jack had to work to support the family and paint in his free time, so he couldn't take care of her at all.

Her aggrieved heart could not be comforted, sweet words could not alleviate the burden of her life, her mother did not understand her, and she mentioned Karl's sarcasm from time to time, and Ruth's life became more and more depressed. What made her explode was Jack's drawing book. Jack's main job is a painter, and he only works for food and clothing. As long as he is not hungry, Jack will not go out to work. Instead, he will go next door to paint a portrait of his good friend, that is. Nina, the girl who appears most often in his drawings.

He said that his original painting book was lost, and it was all his collection. Now one of the models lives next door. It was like God was giving him a chance to make up for it. So, for Nina's perfect hands, he could stay in Nina's bedroom all day long, in various poses and styles, until he painted a painting he was satisfied with and kept it for collection.

Ruth didn't care at first. She also admired art. She admired Jack and of course she had to support him. But when she accidentally saw several nude paintings of Nina in the painting book, she couldn't help but rushed to Jack and asked him, "Why are there full-length portraits? Didn't you say that you were obsessed with her hands? What is the relationship between you two?" What's the relationship?"

Jack raised his head in surprise, frowned and said, "Ruth, I'm a painter of figures. Is it any wonder? This town is very conservative. Apart from you, only Nina is willing to be a model for me. We are good friends, I don’t understand what you are angry about.”

"Good friends? You two have been locked in the room all day, and she hasn't put on her clothes yet. You tell me that nothing happened to you? Isn't it enough for you to have me as a model?" Ruth was so angry that she lost her mind. When she looked at Jack's drawing book on the boat, although it was full of nude paintings, that was before she met Jack. She only felt that she was appreciating art. But now she watched her husband stay in the same room with a naked woman for the whole day, and she couldn't help but think about it.

She was unwilling to marry Karl at first, not only because she didn't like the rules of the aristocracy, but also because there were too few loyal husbands in the aristocracy. One day she was a mistress, the next day she was an illegitimate child. What she wanted was pure love.

Jack said: "I have painted a lot of your paintings, but I can't always use one model. That way I won't get any improvement!" After looking at Ruth for a while, Jack sighed, "Ruth, you've been very bad-tempered recently. No, we have to be full of hope in life and don’t forget our dreams. When we met, you obviously appreciated art. Why do you think of art in such a vulgar way now? I don’t want to argue with you. Just calm down first! "After that, Jack picked up his coat and went out.

Ruth sat on the sofa, threw the picture book aside, and shed tears silently. Lu Fu opened the bedroom door and walked out. Seeing her daughter like this, she softened her heart and for the rare moment, she didn't show any emotion.

Rufu sat next to Ruth and hugged her, and said: "Silly boy, if you don't experience this, you will never understand that the status of aristocrats brings us not only constraints and pressure, but also abundant material and sufficient time. In the past, where did you need to do housework? Even the maid would help you put on your clothes. You only need to dress up and enjoy life. But now, all your time and thoughts are occupied by these trivial matters. , you will have to take care of your own children in the future, is this how your dream will come true?”

Picking up the painting book on the ground and looking at it, Rouf added: "You used to like Monet's paintings so much. Now, how long has it been since you saw that kind of painting? You can only see Jack painting other women's paintings every day. Painting...well, a portrait. Ruth, you always thought that I was forcing you to sell you, but in fact I just hope that our lives will be better."

Ruth began to have a cold war with Jack. Jack loved her in his heart, but he could not give up his dream for her. He painted figures, and basically all models were gay. If Ruth could not accept this, he would really Don't know what to do with it.

Ruth was also conflicted. On the one hand, she still longed to be free and unrestrained, but on the other hand, she was bored with the trivial matters of life. She couldn't be as free and easy as Jack, who regarded drawing books and hands and feet as all her possessions. She would go to work when she had no money, and continue painting when she was full. That made her feel insecure, and she also had a mother to take care of. She felt too tired.

The two lived together for three years. Because of the unstable life, Ruth used contraception. She could not let her children live such a hard life. Jack would still draw pictures for other women, but she never opened Jack's drawing book again.

Recently, Ruth discovered that Jack left early and came home late. She went to the place where he worked and found that he was not there. She followed him the next day and saw him taking his drawing book to a somewhat remote house. She knew that Jack must be drawing pictures for others there. She hesitated for a long time, then quietly entered the room.

That is a very beautiful woman, it should be said that her body is very beautiful. She was lying on the sofa, facing Jack. Jack's eyes were filled with deep fascination, and his expression was serious and gentle. He was so focused on painting that he didn't even notice her standing there. How long has it been since we last seen Jack like this? Jack always seemed a little tired in front of her.

Ruth suddenly felt sad. She was like a rose, needing to be nourished by fiery love, but now, her love was only left with deep doubts. Jack is so obsessed with that body, will he want to experience the perfect feeling for himself one day? She didn't dare to think about it anymore for fear of driving herself crazy.

"Let's get a divorce!" Without looking at Jack's stunned face, Ruth turned around and left firmly.

Under Rufu's introduction, Ruth married a rancher, which was already the best candidate Rufu could find. They once again lived a life with no worries about food and clothing, and were surrounded by maids. Although it was not as good as before, after three years of being a small citizen, they were very satisfied with their current life. Ruth didn't love the rancher, so she didn't care whether he had a mistress or not. She admired paintings, read fashion magazines, and discovered some new hobbies every day. Except for the occasional loneliness, she felt everything was fine.

The most important thing in Jack's heart is his dream, bar none. On the Titanic, he and Ruth did not experience too many twists and turns, no unforgettable moments of life and death, not so much touching, and naturally, no such deep emotions broke out. They were just like any other ordinary couple, united because of love and separated because of incompatible personalities.

Jack felt lost for a while, but felt relieved. He missed his free life before. Since he was trapped in this small town after getting married, he had been without inspiration for a long time. Falling in love with Ruth may become the most beautiful and romantic memory in his life. Putting his drawing book back on his back, Jack once again began his journey around the world.

The author has something to say: I think Jack is the kind of person who is free and easy. He really enjoys that kind of life, and no matter what he does, he feels that he has no bad intentions, so he lives very happily... [←_←

Ruth, every time Jack asked her to experience something, she would reject it a few times. She was very curious, but her more than ten years of aristocratic education would always tell her in her heart that this was wrong...and then she was caught by others, She would also be embarrassed.

No matter how I think about it, I feel that I can’t tolerate my man painting nude paintings for others_(:3」∠)_What do the wives of artists think...
