The kick was not light. Shane held his chest as he stood up. Lowering his head, he said, “Mr. Barlow, I did hide the news that Ms. Sadler had been found
Even at this moment, Anderson’s fever hadn’t subsided. Angered, he put his fist at his mouth and coughed a few times. An intense headache hit him again.
Almost everyone searched all night for Mayra. Even the most resilient person couldn’t withstand a day of relentless searching without rest.

At Barlow Estate, Sonia sat up abruptly. “What did you say? She jumped into the river?”
Fred nodded. “We sent someone to inquire. It was very late when that happened. According to the villagers who were there, she almost didn’t hesitate w
“Since it rained recently, the river was swift. The chance of her survival is very slim this time. Mr. Anderson is now searching for her at Southbank.”
Beside Sonia, Isabel trembled. Her face turned almost pale at the news.
Seeing Isabel’s reaction, Sonia reached out and grabbed her hand. “This has nothing to do with you. Don’t blame yourself. Anyway, it was an accident. N to blame. If anyone is to blame, it’s fate.”
Isabel nodded with a worried look as she suppressed the panic inside her. What if Mayra really died? There was no way she could be dead, right?
“Where is he now? Is he still at Southbank and not coming back?”
Fred replied, “I guess Mr. Anderson is suffering now. After all, he raised that girl by his side, so there’s motional bond. Moreover, she’s the only child left by the couple who saved his life.”
Sonia sighed as she held her cane. “Let’s go take a look.”
“We’ve been searching for so long. When will we find anything?”
Just then, a police officer found Mayra’s backpack downstream, and inside were some clothes.
The officer said, “We’ve already increased manpower… Please accept our condolences, Mr. Barlow.”
In a roadside thicket, seeing that no one was around, Mayra took off her clothes and squeezed out the water. “Well, both my shoes are gone now.”
With the scorching sun shining on her, it wasn’t too cold. After Mayra put on her clothes, she climbed up to the bank, holding the iron box tightly like
a treasure.
Just then, a black sedan drove up unexpectedly fast. No one had expected anyone to appear on the roadside. The driver slammed on the brakes, causin
Isabel steadied the person next to her. “Grandma, are you okay?”
Staring at the person in front of him, the driver was so shocked that he stuttered, “M–Madam Sonia, it’s that girl…”
Sonia looked at the drenched girl in front of the car, who looked extremely disheveled. She was holding something in her hand, and her eyes were full of vigilance. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Go get her. Don’t let her run away again,” Sonia ordered.
Isabel said, “I’ll go, Grandma. Mayra is very wary of strangers.”
Sonia nodded. “Alright.”
Suddenly, the sound of a police car could be heard from afar.
Before Isabel could open the door and get out, Mayra had already turned and ran away. She ran fast–too fast for Isabel to say anything.
When Isabel saw her running, she shouted, “Mayra, don’t run anymore! Andy has been looking for you!”
Hearing that, Mayra stopped in her tracks. She slowly turned around and looked at the old lady in her 80s who had gotten out of the car. She was leaning on a cane. Her vigilance turned into instant shock.
How could it be this old hag?
In her past life, her relationship with Sonia had always been bad. Sonia never liked her.
Back then, it was also because of her words that Mayra was sent abroad to study for three years after graduating from high school.
