Chapter 976

Jasper looked away, then glanced at the sky, where the light rain was still falling.

He didn't know when the rain would stop.

And the whole Larro had completely turned into a disaster area.

Not only Larro, but several counties and cities around Larro were also flooded.

Especially in the low-lying villages and towns, the flood rampaged wildly. In the face of natural disasters, humans were so small and so powerless.

But time continued to pass bit by bit.

More and more disaster victims were rescued, more and more people joined the rescue efforts, and more and more internet-famous celebrities were donating supplies.

The internet was flooded with almost all disaster-related news. People all over the world were praying for Larro, hoping the disaster would pass quickly.

Many survivors shared their experiences on the internet, and many family members who lost loved ones also spoke out online.

This was destined to be a sleepless night.

Early the next morning, Clare and Louis' helicopter arrived in Larro.

Larro's airport had long been flooded, so they landed the helicopter on the rooftop of a hotel owned by Larro Maskelyne Group.

But at this moment, Sylvia still had not been contacted, nor had Franklin.

Clare contacted the hotel manager and asked their staff to transport all the supplies and deliver them to the disaster-stricken residents.

They brought mostly water and food, which were the most needed items for the victims at the moment.

Clare and Louis put on high boots and raincoats, joined the relief efforts, and stayed with the Maskelyne Group rescue teams.

"Do you know where Mr. Maskelyne and Mrs. Maskelyne are now?" Clare asked the manager.

The manager shook his head, "I don't know, everyone is busy saving people. They should be safe. Mr. Hipps, you don't need to worry too much." "Saying not to worry is all false. Sylvia is my niece," Clare looked at the disaster in front of her and felt increasingly anxious.

Meanwhile, Cody and Brayden had also returned to Larro, bringing two cars full of supplies.

They happened to meet Clare and Louis, exchanged a few words, and then all joined the relief efforts.

They worked all day, but still hadn't found Sylvia.

Although Larro was not as big as a first-tier city, it was not small either.

And Sylvia, at this moment, was still wearing the muddy clothes from yesterday. She had not gone home all night, staying at the hospital.

Due to lack of rest, her face looked pale. After eating a cup of instant noodles in the morning, she joined the relief efforts again in full swing.

Her phone had long been dead, she didn't have time to charge it. The entire hospital was now in a blackout.

The little electricity generated by the generator could only be used on patients.

She was reluctant to waste it on charging her phone.

While she was bandaging a wounded patient, she suddenly heard a thud behind her.

She turned around abruptly and saw a middle-aged doctor not far away fainting.

"Dr. Hank!" a young nurse exclaimed and rushed towards the doctor.

Sylvia quickly finished attending to the patient in front of her and walked over. Several medical staff also gathered around.

Sylvia checked Dr. Hank's pulse. "He's still breathing, probably passed out from exhaustion. Quickly start an IV drip for him. Do we have enough supplies in the hospital's inventory?" "I'm not sure, our colleagues in the pharmacy should know," the nurse shook her head.

They helped Dr. Hank up and laid him on a temporary bed, starting to administer medication through an IV drip.

By noon, the two-day rain finally stopped.

When the rain stopped, everyone's face showed relief.

In the following two to three days, disaster relief efforts were everywhere, and evacuations of victims were ongoing.

Meanwhile, Carolyn's case was also being heard, and she had not yet cleared her name.

Due to the flood, the Mcguire family was also trapped in Larro. Katie stayed in the hospital, lying on the bed and staring out of the window at the rain that had just stopped.

Mrs. Mcguire looked at her with concern, "The rain has finally stopped. Oh, the hospital's patient meals are really annoying."

"Just having patient meals is already pretty good," Katie had been watching the news these days and spent her time lying in bed scrolling through Tik Tok.

This was the first time in her life she had faced such dangerous circumstances, such a great disaster.

Especially being in the disaster area, her feelings were particularly deep.

She saw many displaced people, many injured victims brought to the hospital, and even infants rescued from the heavy rain. She also watched the live broadcast show "Go Everywhere," where guests were all involved in the relief efforts.

They were tired and worked hard. They needed a lot of supplies, food, and water.

They needed to survive.

"I... want to donate money," Katie said and opened the Facebook page with the donation link.

Mrs. Mcguire was surprised, "Katie, are you crazy? Your dad has already donated, our Mcguire Group donated ten million! You don't need to donate again."

"Mom, my dad is my dad, the corporation is the corporation, I am me. I want to donate," Katie donated one million, the transfer was successful, she kept the donation certificate and then posted a social media update, and another Tik Tok video.

She wanted to use her actions to inspire people around her.

"Katie? What's going on with you?" Mrs. Mcguire found her daughter so strange at the moment. She felt that her daughter had grown up a lot and that her past self had been foolish.

"Sylvia, a woman like her, I used to replace her annoying? I must be crazy." Katie lowered her head to search for keywords on Tik Tok, then showed the results to Mrs. Mcguire, "Do you see this? This is my sister- in-law, this is a video of her doing public welfare work in the mountain area last year. She did it not only through Mcguire Group but also in her personal capacity."

After showing the video, she searched for Sylvia's keywords, "Do you see this? This is Sylvia, she's been wearing the same clothes for two days, soaked in rain, very dirty, but she doesn't mind and continues to save people. Mom, I suggest you also donate your pocket money. If you really do, I admire you."

"Katie? Didn't you used to hate Carolyn? Why are you suddenly...?" Mrs. Mcguire couldn't believe her eyes. She felt her daughter was so alien to her and a bit terrifying at this moment.

"Yes, I used to hate her because she was just too excellent. She made me feel ashamed of myself. But, I won't hate her anymore. We thought she would fight us for the inheritance, but her mindset is completely different from ours. Inheritance? She doesn't care at all!"

A touch of shame appeared in Katie's eyes. She burst into tears, "My sister-in-law is innocent, she never harmed me at all, she was framed by someone."

"Katie! Are you out of your mind? You're asking me to donate money? Your dad has already..." Mrs. Mcguire was exasperated, feeling that her daughter was truly ill.

Katie rudely interrupted her frantic voice.

"Look at you, a bag worth fifty thousand, shoes worth ten thousand, a dress worth thirty thousand. You spend nearly ten thousand every time you go to a beauty salon for SPA. But in this state, you are unwilling to make even the slightest contribution to the disaster area. Mom, don't make me look down on you. Even if you donate ten thousand, I will think you are great."

"You're insane, truly insane!" Mrs. Mcguire's face turned pale with rage. She didn't want to argue with her daughter, grabbed her purse, and stormed out of the ward.

There were many patients in the corridor outside the ward, staying there due to lack of beds. Mrs. Mcguire covered her nose as she walked through.

The smell in the corridor was unbearable.

With no electricity in the elevator, she had to take the stairs to get some fresh air outside.

Just as she turned the corner to leave, several rescue workers rushed past carrying unconscious teenagers, startling her.

A few middle-aged women followed the rescue workers, tears silently streaming down their faces.

Mrs. Mcguire was stunned, watching the scene, her heart shivering involuntarily.

But she didn't say anything, continued walking down to the first floor. The entire lobby on the ground floor was flooded. Medical staff waded through the water to get medicines. Their clothes were all soaked, and many rescuers carried injured victims into the hospital. Many family members were there begging desperately.

It was like hell here, yet it gave people hope for life.

A medical staff member fell into the water because she was walking too fast and the water was too deep. Her small figure toppled into the water with a thud.

Mrs. Mcguire was shocked, about to rush down the stairs from the second floor but then saw several people rushing to help the nurse up, including a middle-aged woman who had just been crying at the medication window.

Seeing this, Mrs. Mcguire stood on the stairs, and after a while, she slowly walked back.

As she walked back, she quietly donated one million through the Facebook donation channel and also posted a social media update.

Maybe... Katie was right.

She couldn't be a rescuer, nor could she be a medical worker. Apart from being an affluent lady, it seemed like her life had no value. Luckily, she still had some pocket money.

When she returned to the ward, Katie glanced at her calmly and said, "My sister-in-law has been acquitted, the suspect is someone else. There is enough evidence to prove my sister-in-law's innocence." "Did your dad replace the evidence?" Mrs. Mcguire spoke quickly.

"No, it was found by the Howlett family, Jasper just went to the police station and got my sister-in-law released," Katie said and then looked out the window again.
