Mo Lusu's body tensed. He paid full attention to Shui Anluo's every move.
Shui Anluo slowly moved forward but the tree trunk began to taper at the end and it was difficult for her to balance herself even in a sitting position. Furthermore, she had to contend with this all-consuming storm.
"Don't be afraid, kid," Shui Anluo reassured in a trembling voice.
"Doctor Shui, you can't go any further." Someone on the shore suddenly cried out because they heard the sound of the large tree breaking.
Shui Anluo stooped until she was almost in a straight line with the tree. Looks like the dance classes she had taken in her youth have finally come in handy. She then stretched her hand out with all her might to reach the child.
The heavy rain beat against Shui Anluo's back with each stroke as painful as the last.
The little boy continued to cry but he had cried himself hoarse at this point.
