The driver froze for a moment, then he quickly adjusted the direction, heading straight to the place Rosalynn mentioned.
"What's going on?" Erica asked Rosalynn, gripping her seatbelt tightly.
"Don't you think this combination looks familiar?" Rosalynn said, dialing Felix on her phone.
Felix picked up immediately, saying, "Mrs. Silverman."
"Where are Cory and Ivy?" Rosalynn asked.
"Cory, Mr. Silverman, and Mr. Carter are playing chess. The other kids are all sleeping in Ivy's room," Felix replied.
"Who are the others besides Cory?" Rosalynn asked again.
"We have five kids here, the second child from the Scott family is also here."
That would be Carney Scott, Cain Scott's younger brother.
After the turn, Rosalynn lost sight of the kids on the riverbank.
"Check it now!" Rosalynn ordered sternly.
Felix quickly sensed the urgency of the situation and rushed inside. He didn't knock on the door—he just pushed it open.
The room was empty. The kids and the dog were gone.
Felix was dumbstruck.
"Mrs. Silverman... they... they're not in the room!"
"Get to the riverbank immediately!" Rosalynn hung up the phone after delivering the order.
Then she urged the driver, "Speed up, please!"
"Is it them?" Erica asked in shock, "Are these kids nuts? It just rained heavily, why would they go play by the river?"
Rosalynn's face turned gloomy.
At the riverbank.
The kids who successfully left home, including Max, were at a loss facing the deserted riverbank and the rapid current.
But Molly stopped her.
"Molly, that pregnant woman looks like she needs help!" Ivy said anxiously.
"I'll go check it out first." Molly signaled to Ivy to stay put.
But before Molly could get there, the pregnant woman suddenly collapsed in the middle of the bridge, writhing in pain.
Seeing this, the kids immediately ran towards her, and Max followed them.
Molly had no choice but to follow.
"Are you okay?" Ivy quickly reached the pregnant woman. She squatted down and asked her.
The woman was lying on the ground, covering her belly, "I accidentally... fell into the water... and was washed here... Can you get someone to help me..."
"Okay! Don't be scared, I will..." Ivy instinctively wanted to use her phone watch.
Just then, Max suddenly yelled out.
