stephen hurriedly asked, “What happened?”
Blake sighed. “Her son fell into the water and heart heen found yet the mos should come quickly.”
Blake gave Stephen an address and hung up
Stephen quickly got up and called someone to drive him to the loom Boom, bo vay the the riverside was crowded with people,
As he approached, he heard Penny’s walls. He pushed through the crowd to you we
Blake, Leo, and several other classmates were present, and Penny was shiny, on the ground,
vektsenn sobbing. Everyone looked helpless, Even the class president Phake, did not know size to do ta this situation.
At that moment, Leo saw Stephen arrive,
“Stephen is here!”
Several people looked up at Stephen, and Penny crawled over to him, gripping his thigh tightly, “Please, Please save my child,”
Stephen promised, “I’ll do my best to find him. Don’t cry, Try to calm down first. We’ll definitely find him.”
He called a doctor to stabilize Penny, then asked his classmates, “What happened?” Blake said helplessly, “After the class reunion, she returned home and found that her child was missing, so she searched everywhere. It was around 8 o’clock when she learned that the child had fallen into the water. She immediately called the police, but they haven’t found anything yet. I had no choice but to call you, hoping you’d have an idea to save her child.” Stephen lowered his head in thought. What could he do? He could only call the bureau and have them send more people to search.
“It’s my classmate’s child. Please find him as soon as possible!”
Stephen looked at the rushing river water. It was already past 11 now. If the child had fallen in at around 8 o’clock, that meant that three hours had passed. Furthermore, the child was mentally impaired. He feared the worst for the child.
It was not until 2 a.m. that the bureau chief approached Stephen with a solemn expression. ” We found him.”
“That’s great!” Stephen was overjoyed. “How is he? Is he okay?”
The bureau chief lowered his head silently. In such a situation, silence was the only answer. Stephen felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured over him.

“Where’s the body?”
“It’s on the way here,” the bureau chief said. “We can have it sent directly to the crematorium if needed.”
Stephen glanced not far away, where Penny was being comforted by her classmates. For a moment, he did not know how to break the news to her. He walked over to Penny numbly.
“Penny, we found your son.”
Penny whipped her head up, asking, “Where is he?”
Blake, Leo, and the other classmates also looked at Stephen eagerly. Penny’s eyes were bright and filled with hope. Everyone was expecting him to deliver good news, but this time, he was about to disappoint them again.
Stephen did not dare to meet their eyes. He bowed his head deeply. “They are sending the body over.”
Boom!
It was as if lightning had struck.
Penny nearly fainted on the spot. Several classmates staggered back, almost losing their balance. Although they had anticipated it, they still could not bear the moment they heard the news of death.
Penny clung to Stephen’s thigh, crying, “Tell me that’s not true! You’re lying!”
Stephen did not know how to respond. It was the third time he had received news of death. The first was of Snow’s, the second was watching Julius die in his arms, and this was the third time.
His kind–hearted, gentle, and beautiful former classmate had lost her child.
