Atlas immediately looked at Pauline with a scholarly demeanor and asked, "When did the rescue happen?"
Pauline glanced weakly at the woman, and the bold, robust woman immediately stepped forward and spoke on her behalf. "Her husband's name is Coleman Darrell."
The emcee promptly extended the microphone to the woman, and her voice echoed through the microphone.
"He used to be a technician at Keller's Dairy. He rescued a little boy five years ago while traveling home from work. A car nearly hit the boy while he was crossing the street. Her husband selflessly rushed forward, pulled the child back, and pushed him out of harm's way, but he was hit and run over by the car."
"Oh... that really did happen!"
"It was controversial at the time. I can't remember the man’s name, but he was a technician at Keller's Dairy."
People started whispering to each other.
"This incident was reported in the newspapers five years ago. Everyone in Gerby knows about it. When her husband saved the child and pushed him away, he got scratched, and the child's parents sued him! Keller's Dairy said they wouldn’t interfere because it was her husband's personal business."
"Keller's Dairy?" I asked, "Wasn't it called Chandler’s Dairy five years ago?"
"Yes! It was the Chandler family!" The woman nodded firmly.
"Her husband was a victim! There was quite a bit of discussion about this incident at the time. Everyone knew it was happening." The woman looked arrogantly at the people who were arguing about it.
"In the end, the child's parents dropped the charges and apologized to her husband after mediation, but they only bought them some fruit and never showed up again. Pauline and her husband paid all the medical expenses!"
The discussion below gradually quieted down.

This story would be interesting if there weren't so many garbled paragraphs. Half sentences and missed paragraphs. It's too much, give us a proper story. I'm done reading...
Atlas literally took Chloe away from Ryan Ryan needs to go back and reinforce to be able to be head-on Caz that's the only place he's lacking...
