Chapter 340 Stanley Is Safe
+5 Bonus
The news report mentioned that a lot of people had been swept away by floodwater in that neighborhood.
Blood rushed to Alex’s head; he felt like fainting.
“I have to go!” He tossed Ginny’s phone back at her before striding toward the front door.
“This neighborhood is flooded as well. Even the cars are almost completely submerged!” she mentioned.
Alex’s mind went blank. He dashed over to the windows and looked down. As far as the eye could see, it was all water. Some of the lighter cars had even floated up and were being taken away by the currents.
“Here, take my wallet. You can return it to me when you head in for work.” With that said, he flung his wallet at the woman. His ID and driver’s license were in there. If he took them along with him, they were bound to get wet.
waterproof.
He was not worried about his phone at all as it was supposed to be waterproof.
Accepting the wallet, Ginny asked in confusion, “How are you going to leave when the water is so deep?“:
“I don’t care; I have to save my son! I’ll swim there if I have to!” Opening the door, he left without a backward glance.
Watching his retreating back, Ginny prayed fervently that Stanley would be fine.
Heading downstairs, the first thing Alex did was turn on his phone.
He had turned off his phone earlier because he did not want to be disturbed during his treatment. The screen flickered to life and he was instantly bombarded with more than a dozen missed call notifications. There were some from Ms. Haden, Jack, Jessica, and Flynn. Naturally, most of the missed calls were from Heather.
Without hesitation, he called Ms. Haden first. The phone rang for close to half a minute before she finally picked up.
“Hello, Ms. Haden. I’m Stanley’s father, Alex. How are you guys doing now?” He waited anxiously for her reply. If she was able to answer the call, that meant the kindergarten was probably still fine.
“We’re in one of the major flood areas! However, we were able to bring all the students to the second floor the moment we realized something was wrong. I called the police but it’s been more than an hour and nobody’s come to rescue us yet. Mr. Jefferson, you have to think of a way to come save us!” Ms. Haden’s panicked voice came through the phone. The kitchen was on the first floor so everything was now submerged underwater. She and the children had not even had a chance to eat lunch before the floodwaters had come. Now, they were cold and hungry, with many crying from hunger.
Breathing a sigh of relief, Alex said, “Don’t worry, Ms. Haden. I’ll head over right away. Could you please pass the phone to my son?”
“Daddy, I’m so hungry!” Stanley started to bawl the moment he got on the phone.
He had breakfast at seven–thirty in the morning, and it was already past five in the afternoon now. He’s a growing child, so of course he must be famished!
“Stanley, be a good boy and listen to Ms. Haden. Stay with her and be strong, okay? Daddy will bring food over to you right away,” Alex comforted his son.

‘Alright.” The little boy nodded obediently.
Alex soon hung up after giving Stanley some more reassurance.
Knowing his son was fine, he could relax a little. Next, he called Gavin.
