Chapter 527
The search underwater was a long and soul-crushing ordeal. Susan watched as Brandon and the others bobbed up and down in the water, and with no word on Sophia, fear and despair nearly drowned her.
It was the deep blue here, not some woods or dry land where one could buy some extra time. A person couldn't last all that long in the water.
The search party had already spread out, heading downstream. The cops, too, rushed over after the alarm was raised and joined in the search.
From where Sophia fell in, the search stretched all the way down the river to the main channel, and even to the nearby mouth of the sea, but turned up zilch.
Desperation hung heavy in everyone's hearts. Whether she got trapped in a concrete column or swept out to sea, surviving was a long shot.
But no one dared to voice that; no one dared to even think it.
The wind and rain gradually let up. The sky over Zenithan began to show the first light of dawn, eventually brightening up.
The support crew had already brought dry clothes for those who'd been in the water, all except for Brandon.
Brandon, like a man possessed, kept diving back in numbly and doggedly. But the deep winter night was cold to the bone, with a fresh blast of cold air heading south.
As dawn broke, whether it was sheer exhaustion or despair from not finding Sophia that sapped his last bit of strength, Brandon's towering figure swayed and then he totally blacked out after another fruitless search, and in a frenzy, he was rushed to the hospital.
Daniel had also stood vigil by the river all night, but he couldn't sway Brandon.
Brandon's sudden collapse sent him into a total panic, and he scrambled to follow the ambulance to the hospital.
Susan was kneeling at the riverbank, having cried herself into a state where she couldn't even speak.
Kent felt equally sick to his stomach. He took off his jacket and draped it over Susan's shoulders, choking up as he told her, "No news is good news; Sophia's gonna be okay."
But even he couldn't convince himself with the weakness in his voice.
This was water they were talking about, not land. On land, there was still a chance if someone was missing, but in the water...
He couldn't bear to think about it.
