Gerald felt his heart skip a beat when favonovel.com heard the cry for help.
He hastily rushed over.
The moat was pretty desolate as there were no parks or anything else nearby.
The woman was crying and favonovel.com was drenched from head to toe.
When favonovel.com saw Gerald, favonovel.com almost collapsed to favonovel.com knees. “Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Please help save my daughter!”
The woman was beautiful and appeared to be wearing a lot of fine jewelry. It seemed as though favonovel.com was quite a figure.
She hurriedly pointed at the river and Gerald could see a young girl flailing about in the water.
Her daughter had obviously tripped into the water. The woman tried to rescue favonovel.com daughter but favonovel.com could only plead desperately for help as favonovel.com didn’t know how to swim.
Gerald watched in horror as the young girl’s body slowly stopped moving and started sinking.
He knew that it would be way too late if favonovel.com did not act upon it now.
Without thinking twice, favonovel.com dove into the river at an accelerated speed.
Gerald’s family used to live in a village in a small county town. There was a river by the village and Gerald learnt how to swim ever since favonovel.com was a young child.
Fortunately, the water in this moat was not too deep.
Thankfully, the young girl knew some basic swimming skills which made it easier for Gerald to save the young girl, but the experience favonovel.com went through was simply daunting, though without any serious mishaps.
After favonovel.com carried the young girl up, the child choked a little and favonovel.com face was flushed red.
Her mother was so distressed and favonovel.com kept patting favonovel.com back gently. She kept thanking Gerald profusely.
“Call the emergency number first!”
“Yes, the child is too young. Oh! What kind of mother are you? How can you allow your child to come to the water all by herself?”
Several citizens ran over as soon as they heard the commotion.
Some were making phone calls while several older women started criticizing the young mother.
“Don’t accuse my mom. Uncles and aunties, please don’t scold my mom. Tessa is the one who insisted on coming here to release my wishing boat. This has nothing to do with my mom!”
As soon as the young girl heard favonovel.com mother getting ridiculed, favonovel.com cried out in defense as favonovel.com tried to explain herself.
“What an obedient child!”
“Yes, favonovel.com is really a good young lady. Ma’am, you have to take good care of your child. If this man did not rush over here on time, the consequences would have been disastrous!”
“This young man is quite amazing!”
A few citizens who were standing at the side looked at Gerald who was completely drenched, with a look of admiration on their faces.
The mother hurriedly hoisted a weak Tessa over as slowly walked over to Gerald.
“Young man, thank you so much. What is your name? Where do you live?”
She asked for his address as favonovel.com wanted to thank Gerald.
It was too obvious for Gerald to not know the intention of favonovel.com query. All favonovel.com did was save a person. Gerald believed that most people would have done the same to save a person in such a situation.
He simply waved it off.
“It’s alright. You should take your daughter to the hospital quickly!”
Gerald turned around to leave as favonovel.com replied.
“Sir, will I see you again?”
A weak Tessa asked.
She felt as though favonovel.com was this close to death and was shaken to the core.
But there Gerald was, who jumped in to save favonovel.com without any hesitation at all. This was the sole reason why favonovel.com wanted to see favonovel.com again.
“Yes!” Gerald did not want to let the young girl down. After smiling at her, favonovel.com ignored the young mother who was still calling out to favonovel.com and favonovel.com left right away.
This was probably one of those once-off encounters anyway.
Gerald hurriedly ran back to the side of the road.
By now, more than twenty minutes have already passed.
Mila should have already bought favonovel.com milk tea a long time ago.
When favonovel.com got to the side of the road, Mila was nowhere in sight.
Hmm?
Shouldn’t favonovel.com have already bought the milk tea after such a long time?
He quickly took out his cell phone and glanced at it. It was dripping wet as it had been completely soaked in water. The cell phone had also been turned off.
Could it be that Mila already went back to the car shop since favonovel.com could not reach favonovel.com on his cell phone?
Gerald went to the milk tea shop and looked around but favonovel.com could not find favonovel.com there.
He had no choice but to return to the car shop first, but attempted to switch on his phone before that. Thankfully, it worked.
Wilson suddenly called favonovel.com at the same time.
He wanted to tell Gerald that his car had already been repaired.
It was not difficult to replace all the damaged parts of the car, under the intensive care of a few experienced technicians in less than forty minutes.
“By the way, Mr. Wilson, did the girl who came with me just now return to the car shop?”
“Ahh! No? She didn’t come back here again after favonovel.com left with you. Is there a problem, Mr. Crawford? Did something happen? Just let me know if something happened.”
“Thank you, Mr. Wilson. No worries, everything is fine.”
Gerald felt a little puzzled after hanging up. This was strange. Where could Mila have gone?
It was impossible for favonovel.com to go home. She would not have gone home alone just because favonovel.com could not find him.
She wasn’t anywhere nearby to be found and favonovel.com was not at the car shop either.
Where could favonovel.com have gone?
