A view booster cost a hundred dollars…
Harvard decisively put all of the two thousand dollars he had just made in, spending all of it on view boosters!
Yet the rest of the day pa*sed by…
The views were still lukewarm. It did get a little more likes, but only a little over a thousand.
“No, that’s too slow…”
Harvard was getting desperate. What was he going to do?
Stream himself cutting off another finger?
But losing a finger might not get him views?
Harvard clawed at his scalp, the thoughts getting to his head. No one saw how terrifying and bloodshot his eyes had gotten…
Over at the Crawfords.
Lilly had just finished eating. She lay on the sofa, patting her stomach like it was a drum.
“So round, what a round stomach~ this is a happy stomach full of food~,” she hummed.
Polly stood by the staircase, extending her neck and singing along, “The little pig’s so round~ closing her eyes and falling asleep~ her big ears flap and flap, her little tail wags and wags~ Grumble grumble grumble, grumble grumble grumble~!”
Lilly said at once, “You’re the pig! I’m not a pig!”
Polly wrote, “Oink oink!”
Bettany chuckled. “Lilly, don’t sit after eating. Get your Dad, we’re going for a walk.”
Lilly bounded up the stairs at once. “Sure~”
Polly hopped down as well, hunching her wings and swaying behind her.
“We’re going for a walk, we’re going for a walk!” Polly quacked happily. “Tortoise, we’re going for a walk!”
Tortoise’s head retreated into his shell from where he was resting lazily on the stairs.
Lilly ran into Blake just as she reached the top of the stairs, and tugged at his arm. “Daddy, let’s go for a walk!”
Blake wrote, “She has finally remembered me!”
He looked at the time, and nodded. “Alright.”
Lilly raised the jar of souls. “Mommy, we’re going for a walk!”
Uncle said that Mom could never go out.
Now that she could, she must be so happy…
Only for Pablo to turn her down. “No, I can’t these days. I just went down to see Jean, and they’re all after her! I’ve still got to tend to them later, ugh…”
There was nothing that could be done. She was, after all, the prized pupil.
Lilly replied, “Alright…”
She comforted Jean. “Wait a little longer, Mommy!”
Jean stroked her head. “It’s alright.”
In Hannah’s room, Hannah raised her head with a pitiful expression. “I want to go for a walk too, Dad.”
Liam barely raised his head. “Those are some pretty good ears you’ve got on you. Close the door, you’re not leaving until you’re done.”
Hannah was speechless.
Liam was rushing his designs on the side, as well as watching over Hannah as she did her homework. He realized that she was just writing what she thought the letters looked like, and the letters looked like gibberish. He almost exploded.
The math questions to the side were an even bigger problem. 1+1=3…2+2=2.
Liam was annoyed, and Hannah wanted to cry. Both father and daughter were at each other’s necks, giving each other fell.
…
The Crawford mansion was located by the city river, on the widest side of the river. The shore that dipped into the water was shaped like half an island, and thus was named the Five Elephants Peninsula.
Behind the peninsula was the largest state-protected forest garden, the Greenhill Garden.
The Crawford household was right in front of Greenhill, facing the water.
The night breeze cooled as it swept over the trees and the river, dispersing the summer heat.
The butterfly bridge twinkled with dreamy lights, reflected into the river like glowing ripples.
Lilly hoisted her backpack further up her back, stretching out an arm past the rail. “Wow~ it’s so beautiful~”
Blake pushed Bettany along, looking around leisurely.
He had not felt this free in a while. Despite being in charge of watching over the hill, he rarely had time to bask in the peace it brought.
Polly was ecstatic flying back and forth, and in an out…
Just then, a series of panicked cries came from a distance. Someone was crying out loudly, some people were abuzz with chatter.
Bettany raised her head. “What’s going on?”
A few people were running around and shouting, “Someone’s fallen in the water! It’s two girls!
Blake frowned, hurrying forwards to take a closer look.
Lilly frowned at the lights reflected into the water, panic rising slowly in her chest.
Blake weaved through the crowd quickly, and saw a head bobbing about the water.
Even more strangely, there were two girls sobbing their hearts out. Both of them were drenched.
He had heard that there had been two girls who had fallen into the water. Had they been rescued already.
A middle aged woman shouted, “Give me back my daughter! My poor daughter!”
She panicked as she spoke, insisting on getting into the water.
Blake pulled her out of the way at once. “Don’t you go in there!”
The lady refused to listen, insisting on going in. “My daughter, please save my daughter!”
But, there were a few old uncles and aunties shouting by the shore, “No, it’s a man… there’s a man too!”
So was it a man or a woman?
The middle-aged woman shoved Blake away, and was promptly yanked back.
He asked sternly, “Can you swim?”
The lady shook her head.
Blake said, “Don’t go in there. Wait here for me. Got it?”
Upon speaking, he jumped into the water. There was a life at stake here, and time waited for no one.
Blake rowed in the direction of the floating head.
Only for the middle-aged lady by the shore to jump in anyways. The water’s edge was shallow but got deeper as it went further into the center. She walked along the edge, shouting, “My daughter, save my daughter!”
Before she could finish, she lost her footing and slipped and fell into the river!
The lady cried out in panic, struggling and flailing her limbs.
“Help…”
Blake was nothing but annoyed. He’d told her not to come in, she didn’t know how to swim— and she’d done it anyway.
He stared at the head in the middle of the river. It had stopped moving.
The middle-aged lady was closer, only two meters away.
If he were to save the person in the middle of the water, the lady might be dead by that time. The person in the middle of the river was already unmoving, and most likely dead.
Blake would obviously choose the person who was more likely to survive. One would usually prioritize that factor when saving someone, not who was more deserving of being rescued.
Blake swam back at top speed, raising the woman and hauling her to the shore, before swimming off into the middle of the river.
The woman fell into the mud by the river, crying out once before she was yanked ashore by the people nearby. Her cries could still be heard from a distance.
Bettany and Lilly could not match Blake’s speed, and had only reached the shore now.
Lilly looked to the shore, and panicked at once.
“Daddy, Daddy!” She ran down.
Bettany freaked out at this. “Lilly, don’t go down there!”
Lilly turned around. “Don’t worry, Grandma! I know what I’m doing. You stay safe!”
Upon speaking, she ran off.
Bettany did not know what to do. She herself could not go down, that would only add more trouble.
She clutched her remote controller, backing her wheelchair up half a meter. There were too many people by the river— she would only cause more trouble if she were to fall in.
Bettany retreated to a safe spot, flagging down a pa*ser-by to watch over Lilly.
