My Repentant Brothers (Madeline Larson)

Chapter 46 Plop!

The inflatable boat finally capsized.

Winslet was splashed by the surging water and struggled weakly.

Not far away, Madeline was swimming calmly.

Winslet was full of hatred. At first, she planned to fall into the water that day.

She did not want to actually fall into the water.

It was such a horrible scene.

Winslet yelled, "Help! Help me!"

Someone swam toward Winslet.

Winslet fixed her eyes on the figure and noticed it was Benjamin.

Before Benjamin could swim over, he seemed to have no strength and was splashed away by a wave.

"Benjamin..." Winslet really cried.

She did not want anyone who loved her to die in front of her.

Harley was swimming and subconsciously swam toward Winslet

For some reason, his state that day was particularly bad.

He felt unusual all over.

The strength in his body was decreasing rapidly.

Gradually, he was slightly tired.

"Crap!" cursed Harley in his heart.

Then, he sank into the water.

The whole mountain retreat was surrounded by the thunderstorm.

It was scary.

In the mountain retreat, Layla went mad. "Why did it suddenly rain so heavily? Why would it suddenly rain? The weather forecast clearly says that it won't rain! Hurry up and send someone to the reservoir! My children are still there!" Layla's legs grew weak, and she wailed in the hall wearing pajamas.

If they had not left in time earlier, it would be dangerous for them.

Thomas held Layla, and his back was covered in cold sweat.

"That's right, Quick! Ask someone to rescue them. What are you waiting for?" questioned Thomas.

There was only a weak little girl at the reception. "But I can't get through. The phone line may be damaged. The thunder just

now... Now we have to fix the phone before we can dial to ask for help...

The little girl was so scared that she almost cried.

Hearing that, Layla almost fainted while clutching her chest.

"How... The huge mountain retreat... Where are your security guards and the search and rescue team?" asked Layla. Layla's voice was terribly weak.

Her eyes

widened.

"I don't know. I can't get in touch with them," answered the receptionist.

The whole mountain retreat seemed to be isolated from the world.

It was full of despair.

Thomas also felt defeated. "No, maybe they're fine. Let's go and have a look now..."

The receptionist also rushed out, only to find that the road to the reservoir had collapsed.

"We can't pass now. You have to walk past the water if you want to go there. But it's very deep..."

Thomas suddenly seemed to age.

He hurriedly took out his phone and dialed the emergency number.

The other side of the line soon received the call for help and rushed to dispatch the search and rescue personnel.

The receptionist was at a loss and only felt that something was wrong with the mountain retreat that night.

The night was already late.

An hour and a half passed.

The search and rescue team finally arrived.

Layla seemed to have seen her savior. "You're finally here. Hurry up and save my children. They're in the reservoir..."

She cried that her voice was hoarse, causing her words not very clear.

The search and rescue personnel dared not to delay, so they hurried over.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Another hour passed.

They brought back seven unconscious people.

Layla was almost scared to death when she saw her children being carried over. "How could this have happened? They were

all fine before..."

One of the search and rescue personnel hurriedly said, "They're fine. They've only choked on water. We've done emergency treatment just now." That's good, then. Everything is fine..." Layla took a look and found that Winslet was still breathing.

Her five sons were all pale, and their chests were still slightly heaving.

Fortunately, Benjamin from the Moore family was fine.

Otherwise, the Moore family would hold the Larson family accountable. The Larson family could not afford that.

"Thank you. You're really the saviors of our family." While speaking, Layla was about to cry again. "Everyone is here. They're all right now."

"Are you sure? Didn't you say there were eight people before?" asked one of the search and rescue personnel.

Thomas nodded hurriedly. "Yes. There are eight people."

When he came to his senses, his expression suddenly turned extremely dull.

Thomas questioned, "How could there be only seven people? Where's another one? Haven't you brought her over yet? Is it because the stretchers are not enough, so you left one person behind?"

The search and rescue personnel frowned. "When we arrived, only seven people were on the reservoir's shore. They all had symptoms of drowning. If you're sure that there's another person, that person probably saved these seven people. But as for where the person is now, I'm afraid it'll only be known when the rain stops and the search and rescue scope expands."

Thomas staggered two steps backward.

"So eight people fell into the water, and seven of them drowned. Maddie saved seven of them by herself. She didn't come up," muttered Thomas.

Layla stood up. "Impossible! She must have run away by herself. With her selfishness, she wouldn't risk her life to save others."

At that moment, the doctor also came.

The other search and rescue personnel hurried over.

One of the personnel said, "Captain, we found a camera on the shore. It seems that it has recorded everything."

The captain suddenly got excited. "Can the camera still be turned on?"

"It's damaged by the water, but the memory card should still be accessible. I guess I'll bring it back to the team for recovery."

The captain nodded. "You're the victim's family, right? Now, we'll continue the search and rescue. We'll also restore this memory card. The soonest will be tomorrow morning before we can reveal the contents of this card to you."

Time quickly passed by.

Six hours had passed.

The rain had already stopped.

The sky turned bright again.

When the search and rescue team came back without anything, everyone sighed.

Many staff and customers in the mountain retreat felt sorry.

"I heard that one person saved seven."

"It's not easy. She's even a girl."

"The one must be dead. The rain was heavy. She's not immortal.

"It's a pity. The family came out to travel happily, but they are now returning with one person less."

When Layla heard the discussion, she felt her heart tightened.

Suddenly, she cried for some unknown reason and squatted on the ground.

She mused, "Was Madeline really dead? Did she really disappear completely from this world?"

"We've searched all around and the rivers downstream. At present, only the bottom of the water has not been searched," said one of the personnel.

Layla felt her whole heart was broken.

When Madeline was there, Layla always disliked her, calling her a jinx.

Layla wondered why she was sad after experiencing the pain of losing her daughter.

Thomas could not bear it. He kept sighing and could not say a word.

Henry woke up the earliest. He remembered that he was grabbed by a weak hand when he passed out.

It was Madeline.

The last time he raced, Madeline slapped him in the face.

She wanted him to see who she was.

That time, Henry could see it clearly.

It was Madeline.

Henry ignored the doctor's obstruction and got out of the hospital bed. "Where is Maddie? Where is Maddie?"

The doctors looked at each other.

"The Maddie

you

asked for was not rescued yet. The chance of her survival is very slim."

Instantly, Henry felt that he was the worst bastard in the world.

He did the worst thing in the world.
