Reborn Through Fire (Kisa and Gilbert) novel Chapter 1528

Chapter 1528

Just then, Jolina's younger brother, Joshua Wayne, came sprinting over, his face etched with panic.

"Sis, something terrible happened!" mhe exclaimed, anxiously grabbing Jolina's hand.

"Peter fell into the river!"

During springtime, fresh grass sprouted on the field ridges, and the villagers prepared to sow seeds.

The fields needed water, so Peter and Jolina's father decided to divert water from a nearby river into the fields.

Apparently, while setting up the water pipes near the riverbank, Peter had slipped and plunged into the water.

Although Peter was a strong swimmer, the river's rapid currents, fueled by water diversion from neighboring villages, swept him away.

Jolina's father paced the riverbank, guilt consuming him.

"This is all my fault.I should've been the one setting up the pipes.Peter insisted on doing it so I could rest.What are we going to do now?"

Jolina's eyes reddened as she stared at the turbulent river, her tense posture betraying her anxiety and concern.

Kisa asked the villagers, "Has anyone called the fire department and search and rescue teams?"

"Yes, we've called them, but the river is long, and there are so many rocks.We don't know where he might have been swept to," they replied.

The search and rescue team arrived swiftly, and everyone helped scour the riverbank.

As darkness fell, the team advised everyone to return home and wait, fearing further accidents.

Jolina sat silently, her eyes red and swollen from crying, as she stared at the bracelet on her wrist.

Her mother prepared dinner, but no one had the appetite to eat.

At midnight, the search and rescue team returned, only to shake their heads and announce they'd continue searching downstream the next day.
