Chapter 358: Jumping from a Building
Chapter 358: Jumping from a Building
Cynthia Chambers furrowed her brow again.
It seemed she was pondering the meaning of this reciprocity.
This behavior was completely unbecoming of a two-year-old child; an average child would have already laughed along foolishly.
Thea Shaw also felt this child was unnaturally clever.
She suddenly missed the time when the child ignored everyone.
Previously, she was preoccupied with other thoughts and unresponsive to the outside world, but now with a full stomach and adequate nutrition, her brain could finally spare some capacity to interact with these ordinary people.
Celia Chambers said, "My parents went to the supermarket to buy seafood. We’re treating you to lobster tonight!"
Thea Shaw replied with a smile, "No worries, I can eat anything, I’m not picky, tell uncle and aunt not to bother too much."
"It’s all well-deserved."
Now, Celia Chambers finally had the time to voice the question in her heart: "Thea, Aurora said you learned fortune telling. Did you figure my sister out by fortune telling?"
"Hmm?!"
Thea Shaw wasn’t hiding anything, casually saying, "Yes, at first glance, I knew your sister was a prodigy among people!"
Celia Chambers: "..."
Ah, at this moment, she was instantly unsure of how to proceed.
Cynthia Chambers stopped engaging in their conversation.
The Chambers parents soon returned home with a lot of items, and naturally, they were very hospitable upon seeing Thea Shaw.
They busied themselves in the kitchen for a good half-day, preparing a grand table for Thea Shaw.
To say it’s more luxurious than Cynthia Chambers’ birthday would not be an exaggeration.
This was definitely too much for Thea to eat.
But she was still quite pleased.
Her face-reading for Cynthia was done casually, not for money, so it was natural not to expect any reward; the Chambers parents’ way of repaying her was simple and genuine.
She just felt Mrs. Chambers’ cooking was particularly good.
Moreover, the atmosphere of the Chambers family was especially pleasant; if Cynthia Chambers grew up in such an environment, she was sure to be a pillar for the country and its people!
After the meal, the Chambers family went for a walk to digest their food, and Thea Shaw also stepped out, planning to catch a cab back later.
They were still outside walking, having just strolled a short distance from the neighborhood, when suddenly, Thea Shaw and the Chambers family heard a distinct "bang" sound.
As if something heavy had fallen to the ground, it instantly became silent.
Following this was a woman’s scream: "Ah!!! Someone jumped, someone jumped off a building!!!!"
Upon hearing these words, the Chambers family and Thea Shaw were stunned.
The Chambers parents were quick to react, immediately hugging Cynthia Chambers and saying, "Let’s take Cynthia home first."
Cynthia Chambers was only two years old and shouldn’t witness such a scene; naturally, the walk couldn’t continue.
Celia Chambers was also somewhat shocked: "You guys take my sister back first, I’ll go check it out."
Thea Shaw said, "I’ll go take a look too."
Celia Chambers and Thea Shaw went to see what was going on.
They had all heard the sound of something heavy falling just moments ago.
The Chambers family’s neighborhood had dozens of buildings, and the sound could be heard proving it was not far away.
Furthermore, with someone’s scared yelling, it was easy to follow the direction and look.
And then they saw the initial scene of the incident.
The person had probably jumped from a relatively low level and landed on the grass, leaving a whole corpse intact, but the scene was still unbearable; blood spread out, carrying a thick and nauseating stench.
Cynthia Chambers immediately vomited.
The surrounding crowd slowly gathered, and the screams were filled with panic.
Thea Shaw had seen quite a lot and didn’t feel too shocked, but she still felt nauseous; she just discerned that the jumper was male.
Jumping wasn’t uncommon, but whether this person was a suicide — or was pushed — wasn’t clear.
Thea Shaw looked up; she wasn’t a police officer, so she couldn’t discern any clues.
The police soon arrived.
