Upon hearing that familiar voice, Nathan Leafcastle suddenly turned his face, spotting Vera Wave not far away questioning a tourist. He furrowed his brows and grabbed his umbrella, jogging towards Vera’s direction.
He held the umbrella over her head, and curiously glanced up and down at Vera, who was already half drenched.
"Vera, what happened?"
Facing Nathan Leafcastle’s gaze, Vera anxiously grabbed his arm.
"Brother Nathan, please, help ... Grandma... I lost Grandma..."
Looking at the girl’s half-wet hair and raindrops on her face, Nathan Leafcastle’s heart tightened. He raised his hand to support her shoulder and imdiately spoke comfortingly.
"Vera, don’t worry, tell calmly what happened exactly!"
"It’s all my fault, it’s all ... I’m an idiot..."
"Vera!" Nathan Leafcastle raised his face, holding her small, cold face, bending down to et her eyes, "Calm down, listen to , Grandma will be fine, I’ll help you find her. Now, tell where Grandma got lost, have you contacted the park managent?"
Vera’s emotions slightly cald, and she imdiately pointed out the specific location to him and briefly explained the incident.
Not far away, Sally Dalton stood in the rain, watching Nathan Leafcastle, who was holding the entire umbrella over Vera’s head while he was completely exposed to the rain, her eyes filled with distress.
"Okay, I got it." Nathan Leafcastle gently wiped the rain off her face, "Now, let’s go to the park managent office together, inform the staff about this situation, let them help with the search, and then I will help you look for her too, don’t worry, Grandma will definitely be found!"
"Uh-huh!"
Vera nodded, and he held the umbrella with one hand, taking off his suit jacket and putting it on her.
"Let’s go!"
He urgently headed towards the park managent office with her, having walked over ten steps when he rembered Sally Dalton, quickly stopping in his tracks.
"Sorry, Sally, I have so urgent matters here, you get a taxi back first!"
Without waiting for Sally Dalton to react, he turned his face and strode towards the direction of the park managent office with Vera.
Sally Dalton raised her face to look at the sky drizzling above, turned around, and walked in another direction.
A gust of wind ca, blowing raindrops on her face and body, and her arms exposed outside her clothes imdiately felt cold.
Her heart seed to suddenly shrink with cold, causing a dull ache.
She lifted her arms to embrace herself, lowered her face and quickened her pace.
Her eyes were red, as if sothing was about to uncontrollably gush out, she took a deep breath, raised her face to the rainy sky.
...
...
Park Managent Office.
Vera seriously described her grandma’s appearance and attire to the staff, "Please... You must help !"
"Miss Wave, don’t worry, we will surely do our best." The staff nodded gently at her, "We are about to broadcast a ssage throughout the park, and our staff will do their utmost to help you search."
Vera repeatedly expressed her gratitude, Nathan Leafcastle handed her a cup of warm water.
"Drink so water first to warm yourself up, being all wet, don’t catch a cold!"
The staff walked over and began broadcasting the missing person information, Vera held the cup, but she couldn’t sit still. She brought the cup to her lips and then put it down, getting up from the chair, rushing towards the door.
"Vera!"
Nathan Leafcastle chased after her.
