Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Hello! You are a hero. You did a good job. We support you!”

A woman pulled a boy quietly to Mary’s side and expressed her admiration for her.

​ 

Mary looked at the woman and the boy and replied indifferently, “It’s my duty.”

Receiving Mary’s response, the woman immediately became indignant. “Seeing that the lives of the old and the children are in danger and to refuse to help them… Well then, what’s the difference between them and animals! To even go as far as to blame others for saving people…is incredibly self-absorbed and shameful!”

Mary looked at them again.

Although the mother and son did not speak up for her in the beginning, they also did not seem to have insulted her with the others.

Perhaps sensing Mary’s curious gaze, the woman held her son’s hand tightly and felt a little embarrassed. “We are the only members left of our family… We are weak and powerless. I was too timid to stand up and support you.”

“But I should have set an example for my son! If I couldn’t do it, let him see what a real hero looks like!”

“Jack, when you grow up, you must learn from the Miss here! Our society is becoming more and more indifferent to each other, but there will always be people who are still passionate!”

“You must be like you’re the Miss here and be a hero!”

Mary felt that what the woman was exaggerating.

How was she a hero? It was just like she said, she was just a passionate person.

“Miss, you are really amazing!” The little boy looked at Mary, his eyes full of admiration.

Mary could be cold to anyone, but she had never hardened her heart to a child.

“Thank you.”

She nodded, and then didn’t say anything else. She just held the gun in her arms and stood beside the girl, watching the rain that didn’t slow down.

Behind her, there were people whispering and cursing at the woman who was licking Mary’s boots with her son. The woman pretended not to hear them and just covered her son’s ears.

“Mom, when can we go home?”

The woman frowned and sighed. “Sigh! Mom doesn’t know either. I don’t know how long this rain will last.”

“I Miss home…” The little boy pouted and looked very disappointed.

“Where is your home?”

The little girl suddenly turned her head and asked the boy who looked to be one or two years younger than her.

“My home is in Canada!”

The girl nodded. “This is the biggest rainstorm that has happened in Warren City since I was born. My father called to say that the volcanic cloud was blown here, so we are still unable to estimate the precipitation, but… maybe…”

The girl’s calmness and calmness surprised Mary again.

Obviously, she knew something.

“What happened to you two?” Mary suddenly asked.

The girl sighed. “My grandmother heard the thunder and said that my father would be afraid of thunder. My father is her favorite son, and my grandmother has Alzheimer’s disease, so she lives with us. I found her Missing, so I went out to find her. My father is not at home, and if my grandmother is lost, our whole family will be very sad.”

From entering the hotel lobby, Mary found that the old woman was not okay, she was really suffering from Alzheimer’s.

The woman heard the little girl’s words from behind, so she asked worriedly, “Did you call your father?”

The girl shook her head. “Not yet.”

The woman who praised them earlier, quickly took out her phone. “Then hurry up and call your father!”

The girl looked at her gratefully and took the phone. “Thank you, but I saw that the signal was gone!”

Mary quickly took out her phone and looked. Sure enough, there was no signal.
