The Remorseful Brothers

Chapter 47

Henry clenched his fists, his veins standing out and his temples pulsating.

“Impossible! Absolutely, positively impossible!” Henry’s eyes were filled with resistance, his voice deep and ominous.

Outside, the sunlight still shone brightly, but Madeline was gone

Henry used to hate Madeline so much.

“This time, I saw clearly. It was her.”

Henry did not make a mistake this time.

He wanted to tell Madeline, to let her know that he had not made a mistake this time.

Henry’s face was pale.

Henry had thought that if he survived, he would make it up to Madeline.

Madeline had saved him time and time again.

Henry was not heartless.

But,

The nurse said, “You should try not to get too agitated. They’re still searching, and we’ll have news today.”

“Searching?” Henry’s vision almost darkened. He glared at the nurse with anger. “What nonsense are you talking about?”

“Maddie saved me. If something happened to her, I wouldn’t be okay,” he mused.

He continued, “We were together at the time.”

By the end, his voice was trembling.

“Could a search be for a person?” he wondered. “Searches were only for bodies.”

The nurse hesitated. “The rescue team speculates that she saved all seven of you alone. After all, she’s just a little girl. She might have exhausted herself in the end. Every summer, there are so many news stories like this.”

“Shut up! Get out!” Henry ground his teeth, bending over deeply There was a buzzing sound in his ears, a taste of blood coating his throat, and his heart felt like a knife was stabbing it.

The nurse shook her head, understanding his feelings.

After they had left, Lucas sat outside in a daze, looking toward the direction of the reservoir.

Many search team members were busy in the reservoir, the sound of pumps roaring like thunder.

It sounded grating.

“Lucas, don’t be so devastated. Maddie wouldn’t want to see you like this.” Winslet’s expression was somber as she squatted in front of Lucas. “Last night was just an accident. Who would wish for something like this to happen?”

“That’s enough.” Lucas suppressed his emotions, his fingers clutching his head in frustration.
