Chapter 1The Flood's Choice

Husband saved childhood sweetheart's son who was farther from shore and safer in flood,

Watched helplessly as our son cried Dad Mom being washed away.

Flood receded.

I held son's body painful, crazy questioned husband.

Husband didn't feel he wrong.

"I am SAR Team Leader, should avoid suspicion! If I save our son, everyone learn from me, won't it mess up?"

"You should have sympathy, after all we can still have children, Sarah's is a posthumous child, if child gone how she live?"

Everyone praised husband great righteousness,

Sarah's son also knelt before me childish voice said want be filial to me for son.

I confused recognized Sarah's son as Godson, transferred love for son to him.

Until I dying when running out of oil.

Sarah just strange tone confessed apologized to me.

"Thank you for dedication to my son, not wasted I risked danger threw two children into flood back then!"

I collapsed endless, want pull Sarah die together.

But kicked fly by son loved thirty years.

"Godfather and my mom are a pair! You snatched my mom's lover, I occupy your son's life this very reasonable!"

"Also this matter Godfather knew after event, he not angry what you angry?"

I understood everything but can do nothing, only can tearfully die.

Restart once,

Husband still chose save Sarah's son.

But this time I didn't cry, they cried...

"Someone come quick, there child fell water."

"Captain Gavin, fell water seems your son and your neighbor Sarah's son!"

Hearing this voice, I immediately put down work bandaging wounded, followed few survivor grandmas aunts stumbled ran to riverside, indeed saw son Leo and Sarah's son Sam struggling in river.

Situation same as last life.

Leo closer to shore, but hands only pulling few not solid water plants, whole face scared pale, mouth shouting Dad Mom save life.

Sam was farther from shore, but at this moment he blocked by a big tree, still holding a protruding rock, although farther, but one look know safer.

As folk SAR team leader husband Gavin immediately ran out from room, seeing this situation also scared not light, I took advantage of him tying rope to body rushed before him.

"Gavin, you must save Leo! I only have Leo this one child, you can't ignore him!"

Gavin looked at everyone, somewhat impatient said.

"Our child is child, could it be other's child not child?"

"I now not only Leo's dad, not only your husband, I am SAR team leader everyone elected, I can't only care small family, ignore everyone."

I angry not light, but didn't like last life excited speak thoughtlessly, let crowd dislike, but calm and careful explained.

"I know you fair just also avoid suspicion."

"Flood came after you only care protect everyone's property, our family didn't snatch a cent out."

"But this time different, Leo's situation more dangerous, closer to shore also, and Leo can't swim you know, Sarah's child can swim ah."

Onlookers grateful Gavin selflessness, also can see Leo and Sam who more dangerous who safer, so one by one helped me speak.
