Chapter 1040
If it weren't for Jessie, Charlotte's mission nearly ended in complete failure.
"Jessie's stomach is bleeding!" Charlotte instinctively looked at Jessie and saw bloodstains on the golden fur.
Stella was right beside Jessie and hurriedly checked. She saw a hole in Jessie's stomach, deep enough to reveal the bone.
Amidst the undercurrents, Jessie saw the sharp stone and instinctively used her body to shield it.
She lay there, breathing heavily. Her gaze fixed on Chicago, and after confirming she was alive, she breathed heavily and slowly closed her eyes.
"Jessie!"
Twenty minutes later, at the hospital.
"I've told you countless times, don't go near the water! You're the older brother now, it's one thing if you go alone, but you took your younger siblings with you! Your sister almost died!" Anna rebuked Brady.
And her cane struck Brady's calf harshly. She rarely hit the children. But this time, Brady had caused a monumental disaster!
"Mom, I'm sorry!" Brady cried so hard he almost fainted. "I will never do it again; I will be a good big brother!"
"Go apologize to the Solomons!" Anna's hands trembled with anger.
Samuel stood nearby, looking at the red marks on Brady's legs, feeling heartbroken but not stopping her.
If Chicago hadn't been saved today, it would have been a catastrophe for both the Walker family and the Solomon family.
Brady needed to learn his lesson; he didn't understand the gravity of the situation.
"Anna." At this moment, Fiona walked over.
Anna said, "Fiona."
"I asked around; the entire escape plan was Chicago's idea." Fiona's face was pale. "Don't hit him anymore."
Brady, who had been sobbing quietly, burst into loud cries upon hearing this. "No! It was because I wanted to celebrate my birthday, and Chicago knew I wanted to catch crabs with them, so she said she'd take me! I provided the escape route! Mrs. Solomon, I'm sorry! I almost killed Chicago; I'm not a good boy!"
Anna was both angry and heartbroken. "You don't study properly, and you waste your thoughts on this. I'm going to beat you to death today!"
With that, Anna raised her hand to strike again.
Fiona quickly grabbed her arm. "Enough, it's not Brady's fault!"
Anna's eyes were dark. "I know!"
"Samuel, take Brady home." Fiona then walked up to Brady and wiped his tears. "Brady, we can be kind, but the premise of kindness is to ensure our own safety absolutely. If you encounter someone who needs help in the future, find an adult. Don't handle it yourself, okay?"
"Yes!" Brady nodded.
"Mrs. Solomon, don't be sad, Chicago will be fine. I prayed to God, if anything happens, let it happen to me, not her!" Brady cried as he spoke.
"God loves kind children the most; He won't let anything happen to Chicago or you." Fiona patted his chubby little face.
"Brady, go with me." Samuel extended his hand to Brady.
Brady looked at his mother. Anna turned her head away, not looking at him.
Brady cried as he approached and hugged Anna. "Mom, I won't dare to do it again."
"Go with your dad." Anna still didn't look at him.
Brady sobbed, let go, glanced in the direction of Chicago's room, then took Samuel's hand and left crying.
Anna said, "Fiona."
"Anna, Abigail is your half-sister after all, so I'm telling you." Fiona looked at Anna. "Her death sentence is certain, but she won't die on the execution ground."
Anna said, "If you need my help, just ask. The Walker family can assist."
How could Anna have any sympathy for Abigail?
Brady was also on the bridge at that time!
What if it had been Brady or Declan who was pushed into the water by her?
Jessie and Charlotte wouldn't have risked their lives to save them.
