Alex squatted down and grabbed the comer of the security guard’s shirt, wiping the blood off Betty’s shoes. The teachers and security guards around them were so frightened they lay flat on the ground, pretending to be unconsciou
Alex led Betty back to Ellie, and their eyes met. Alex noticed Ellie’s swollen eyes, and without thinking, he reached out to touch her face. However, Elle instinctively turned her head away.

I’m sorry. Dr. Thompson, my phone is dead,” Barry said.
Ellie was speechless.
“My phone can do” Alex slowly pulled out his phone.
Ellie reached for it, but Alex didn’t let go. They stared at each other for a moment until Ellie took a deep breath and said, “Mr. Warren, can I borrow your phone?”
