Many children were reported to have drowned while swimming in the reservoir during the summer. break. Bettany was not upset when the kids went outside to play. She was irate because they did not inform the adults, and it could be dangerous.

Anthony looked at Drake and said, “Don’t worry, they were with Drake; he knows the limits.”
