Matthew looked at his father with fear and anxiety.

“It wasn’t Joaquin’s fault,” he whispered. I got off.

Ricardo opened his mouth to respond, but the woman stepped forward.

Ricardo looked down at the boy. The water drained through his hair. His hands were shaking.

Joaquin ran. Richard turned his eyes to the woman.

Thank you for helping you.
