"Sherilyn!"

Gilbert's attempt to hold her back failed, and he immediately got out of the car to chase after her.

What was going on with Sherilyn? Where was she trying to go?

It didn't take him long to figure it out.

"Edgar!" Sherilyn stepped forward and shouted.

It all happened so fast, and with the force of inertia and gravity, Sherilyn lost her balance and fell to the ground.
