Chapter 23 I Don't Want to Lose Another Child Again

"No!"

Shirley's heart almost stopped beating.

At the most critical moment she ran the fastest she had ever ran in her life, and clutched the child close in her arms without a second thought!

...

...

Crash!

The huge wave collided into her back with a loud noise.

...

The wave drenched them from head to toe, as if trying to separate the mother and child from one another, but in the end it could not move at all, so it retreated.

Trembling, she was holding tightly onto the child.

...

Her body was completely soaked with seawater.

Only when calm returned to her surroundings did she open her eyes and looked at the child in her arms.

Her eyes met a pair of bright ones which were already staring back at her in a daze.

...

Shirley's eyes turned hot with tears as she kissed the boy's face.

"Norman, my Norman! My baby! I finally found you...finally..."

Warm tears flowed down her cheeks and dripped onto Jarrod's face.
