Chapter 36 Disaster in Missouri County
"Mommy, where are you?"
"Mommy, quickly come ashore..."
"Mommy..."
The six children cried and shouted together, creating a scene of sorrow and misery.
Their cries attracted everyone in the village. Upon hearing that the mother of the six children had been swept away by a whirlpool, they sighed and shook their heads.
"No hope. Our village's whirlpool is deadly. Once swept away, you can never come back."
"Yeah, three months ago, two water buffaloes were carried away by the whirlpool. No matter how hard we looked, we couldn't find them. It wasn't until a month later that we discovered their rotten remains."
"This woman most likely won't survive..."
Faced with everyone's comments, the children cried even harder.
"Mommy, please don't leave us, don't abandon us..."
"Mommy, come back quickly, we can't be without you..."
"We don't even have daddy anymore. What will we do if you abandon us too?"
The children's words were heart-wrenching, bringing tears to the eyes of many villagers.
A young villager thought that this kind of news could go viral, so he discreetly took out his phone and started filming.
Maria angrily shouted, "What are you doing? Exploiting the children's tragic situation for attention? Stop filming and hand over your phone!"
The person immediately stopped filming, but at that moment, thunder roared in the sky once again, followed by large raindrops falling straight down.
The sky instantly turned terrifyingly dark, as if someone had covered it with a gigantic lid.
Even more terrifying, the earth suddenly shook violently, and many houses collapsed in an instant.
"An earthquake! Everyone run!"
With a shout, everyone ran towards an open area.
"Children, grab my hand and run with me!" Maria urged anxiously.
"Mommy hasn't come up yet..." the eldest daughter cried and shook her head, "I won't leave, I'll wait for Mommy!"
Maria believed that Ivy had been swept away by the whirlpool and had no chance of survival. To ensure the children's survival, she had to lie, "Your mommy will be fine. She'll swim ashore from the other end of the river. With such heavy rain, she must be looking for a place to take shelter. We must ensure our own safety and not make her worry about us."
"Will Mommy really be okay?" Second daughter asked with teary eyes.
"She definitely will be, I promise!" Maria reached out her hands and said, "Come on, let's hold hands."
"Join hands and escape the disaster together, don't let mommy come back and not find us."
"Okay!" The six little girls immediately united, holding hands, and left the river with Maria.
Just as they ran away for a while, the river suddenly surged and spread towards the village.
Maria and her mother, with Ivy's six children, quickly escaped to a safe place.
The news of the earthquake in Missouri soon spread to various places. The relevant departments immediately took rescue measures for the residents of Missouri.
Ashford Family Business
In the president's office, a dignified elderly woman sat patiently, waiting for her grandson.
As soon as Alexander arrived at the office door, Ethan lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Ashford, you finally came. Grandma Ashford has been waiting for you."
Alexander was somewhat surprised. His grandmother never cared about the company's affairs. She must have come to the office today because something urgent and significant had happened. He was to blame for being too busy lately and hadn't gone back to accompany his grandmother, leaving the old lady to face difficult matters alone. He felt ashamed.
Alexander wanted to meet his grandmother happily, but he realized that he hadn't smiled in a long time and his mouth felt stiff.
He quickly opened his mouth, moved his lower jaw left and right, raised his left hand, and used his thumb and index finger to push on both sides of his mouth, forming a radiant smile. He walked into the office.
"Grandma, you're here!"
