Chapter 779 She Was Overwhelmed With Sadness

Many people were crowded in front of the site of the accident, and everyone looked somber.

Bianca pushed through the crowd and stared at the ruins of what was left of The Galleria.

It was a sea of red under the rubble. The paramedics carried the little girl on the stretcher and placed her on the flat ground. Blood was still flowing, staining the white cloth...

Bianca could not see the girl's face because she was covered with a white cloth, but the little girl seemed to have two pigtails...

Judging from her figure, age, and hair, it seemed to fit Rainie's description.

Bianca covered her mouth and kept shaking her head desperately, forcing herself not to cry.

'No, nothing bad would've happened to Rainie!'

Rainie was so well-behaved and sensible. She would not leave her just like that!

"Rainie, tell Mommy that it’s not you, okay? You told me in the morning that you were going to bring home a bouquet of roses for me. I’ll wait for you to come home... You also told me that you want to be a dancer and a painter when you grow up. You want to make a lot of money and travel around the world with me... Baby, your wish hasn't been fulfilled, so how can you leave me? Rainie... Rainie...”

Bianca was overwhelmed with sadness and muttered to herself like a madwoman.

The people around her did not laugh at her, but rather, they looked at her sympathetically.

Everyone felt her pain and pitied this young mother who had lost her beloved daughter.

"Poor thing, the child is gone at such a young age. That’s terrible..." "What can we do when natural and man-made disasters like this happen? All we can do is blame the black-hearted developer for building such bad real estate!"

Bianca was not paying any attention to what the people around her were saying.

She rushed to the stretcher and looked at the girl who was covered with a white cloth. She wanted to unveil the cloth, but she could not muster the courage to do so.

A kind-hearted citizen pitied her and gave her a gentle reminder, "Madam, it’s best if you confirm whether it really is your daughter."

Bianca stared at them fiercely and screamed hysterically, "No, impossible! This isn’t my daughter, I don't want to see her! Rainie said she'll be home soon. Maybe she's on the way right now. My daughter is very well-behaved and would call me as soon as something happened... She would help me clean up and take care of her little brother. She would give me a goodbye kiss before she went to school every day. She's like an angel that brings joy to everyone around her. She won't leave me!" 1

She cried as she talked, desperately trying to prepare herself.

The young officer, Jim Holston, frowned slightly when he noticed that she was not in the right headspace.

He saw that a hair bow on the little girl’s pigtail had fallen.

Jim understood that the loss of a beloved daughter would be a huge blow to a mother, and he knew that Bianca did not dare to see the child under the white cloth.

Hence, he picked up the hair bow and gently placed it in Bianca's hand." Madam, does this belong to your daughter?"

Bianca looked at the pink bow and broke down.

The pink bow looked ordinary, but it was inlaid with a tiny diamond.

The diamond was in the shape of a heart. She had bought it for Rainie last time.

Looking at the familiar hair bow, she could not help but fall to the ground. She covered her face and thought of Rainie's sweet voice saying to her," Mommy, this pink bow is so beautiful! Can you braid my hair and clip it on?" "Of course, anything for my dear Rainie!" "Thank you, Mommy! You’re the most beautiful and gentle mommy in the world!"

Rainie's childish and sweet voice replayed in Bianca's mind.

Bianca's fingertips still had the scent of her daughter's hair...

However, she did not expect that in a blink of an eye, they would be separated from each other. She was unwilling to accept it!

"Rainie, Rainie..." Bianca threw herself on the stretcher. She knelt on the rubble and debris, her knees bleeding from the impact. However, she did not feel the slightest pain.

It was chaotic all around, and Bianca's distressed appearance made many people tear up even more. Even a man like Jim, who had experienced countless life and death situations, empathized with her.

"Madam, please give way. We're going to take her away..." The paramedic wearing a mask wanted to pull Bianca up.

Bianca's eyes were red and swollen from crying. Her body was trembling. She tried her best to stand up, but it felt like she was weighed down by tens of thousands of kilograms. She could not move. She felt that she could not breathe properly, and her soul seemed to be crushed into pieces.

When the rescuers were about to leave with the corpse, Bianca summoned her courage and gently lifted the white cloth with her hands...

Under the white cloth was an adorable but pale and unfamiliar face. Her features were different from Rainie's. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

It was not her daughter.

Bianca was stunned but relieved that it was not Rainie.

However, looking at the child's face that showed no signs of life, her sadness did not go away. Rather, she was overwhelmed.

Although it was not her daughter, this child also used to be alive.

She was sorrowful and thought of how her parents would feel after they learned of such bad news...

Suddenly, Bianca's phone rang and she immediately answered as soon as she saw the caller ID. Her voice was stern and full of panic, "Rainie, is that you? Baby, tell me, where are you now?"

Rainie was taken aback by her mother's irritable tone. She stammered," Mommy... I... I was at Four Seasons Flower Shop with my classmates... This flower shop is owned by a relative of my classmates. She offered us a 20% discount... so... So we came here instead... Don't be angry, I didn't mean to hide it from you..."

Bianca withstood the tears in her eyes. She was overjoyed to learn that her daughter was alive, but her voice was still trembling as she uttered, "Rainie, in the future, no matter where you go, you must keep me posted, okay? I'm worried about you... Go back to school after you're done buying flowers and wait for me to pick you up when school is over. Don't run around, okay?

Rainie answered obediently, "I understand, Mommy. Don't worry, I’ll listen to you."

After she hung up the phone, Bianca was completely relieved. Her daughter was fine and was not buried in the rubble.

However, looking at the messy and terrible scene before her, as well as hearing the painful groans of the rescued victims, her heart fell again.

Was this accident caused by an internal structure problem or was it a manmade problem?

Luke should be busy. How would he deal with this crisis?
