Chapter 169 Is Saving Someone A Mistake?

The rescue boats lit up the water in the night, searching and scooping as time passed.

The middle–aged lady, now restrained, continued to shriek, “My daughter… my daughter…”

Yet after half an hour searching, nothing seemed to come up. Someone said that the girl may have been dragged under the current, and had sunk to the bottom of the river.

Either way, there was no way she was still alive…

“Ugh, if that lady hadn’t meddled just now… her daughter might have been found…”

“Alright, stop talking about it. She just lost her daughter, that’s a pretty big deal…”

The middle-aged woman’s chest ached as she listened.

No, how could it have been her fault?

She had just been anxious. Any mother would have done the same in a situation like this.

She hadn’t asked for Blake to save her, either. Why hadn’t he saved her daughter, and gone back for her instead!

The woman was overcome with remorse and guilt she could barely breathe, running to Blake and beginning to hit and kick at him:

“Why didn’t you save my daughter first! Why did you rescue a dried-up corpse! Why did you save me!”

“You’re evil, you should be dead! My daughter’s only sixteen, but you didn’t save her! You should be dead!”

The middle-aged lady shrieked loudly, yelling bloody murder at Blake.

Lilly clenched her fists. “Unreasonable! Unreasonable! You’re being absolutely ridiculous!”

Her father was far from deserving to be dead!

Lilly did not get it. Her father had tried so hard to save everyone, why was it his fault now?

Blake pushed Lilly behind him gently, his expression cold.

He could understand the pain of losing one’s daughter— come to think of it, he would be just as overwhelmed if his dear Lilly was gone.

But understanding was one thing. That didn’t mean he was going to be blamed for it.

Blake grabbed the woman’s palm, outstretched and ready to slap Lilly. He shoved her away. “I won’t blame you for this, seeing as your daughter’s nowhere to be found.”

The woman refused to back down still. The man that had helped Bettany look after Lilly just now shouted, “Are you done making a scene?”

“Did he not go down to try saving everyone? Did he not run into trouble on the water as well?”

“Who do you think you are, asking for someone to sacrifice their life for your daughter’s! Is your daughter’s life somehow worth more than that of others’ now?”
