Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 593

Little Mateo was surprisingly composed, guiding his younger siblings through the throng. But whether it was Cindy's fear making her unsteady or someone jostling her, she took a tumble. Her ankle twisted, and she was left with scrapes and bruises, unable to move. The crowd surged onward, and Cindy was quickly lost among the sea of people. She sat on the ground, crying out in fear. The teacher was overwhelmed and couldn't tend to them, and there was no way Mateo and Dylan would leave their sister behind, so they turned back to find her.

Dylan mentioned that Mateo had been right beside him, but after they found Cindy and he turned around, Mateo was nowhere to be seen, probably swept away by the crowd.

The fire was growing, and they couldn't stay put. They hoped clever Mateo would follow the crowd down the mountain. But once they got down, there was no sign of Mateo. "Auntie, we're so sorry, really sorry..."

The kids kept apologizing, feeling they had slowed Mateo down, thinking he would have made it down faster without them.

Selena was shaking, barely able to stand.

Ricky quickly steadied her, "Sis, Mateo's a smart kid. With the fire that big, he'd definitely head down. Let's keep searching!"

"Alright, we'll split up."

Ricky weaved through the crowd as Selena, after settling the other two kids, moved through groups of children, asking if anyone had seen her little Mateo. But everyone shook their heads-
