SIGNING IN: BEING SHOWERED BY HEAVENLY BLESSINGS FOR FIVE YEARS novel Chapter 183

Chapter 183: Chapter 181: CHRISTMAS DAY 3

On the other side of Taco, Belinda and Richard were sitting and playing cards with their friends in an old building that had been in the community for over thirty years.

The building was a community building where the elderly and the youngsters of that particular neighborhood could hang out and have fun.

That was the neighborhood where the couple raised their children in, so they were pretty fond of the place.

To celebrate the wonderful day, they went to meet up with their friends they used to get along with pretty well.

And there they were, playing games at a round table and having so much fun.

"Pitter-patter."

"Rat-a-tat."

"Drip-drop."

The rain suddenly started raining, and the sound could be heard. With how the building was roofed with metal sheets, the rain even sounded very heavy and frightening.

"Oh! It’s really raining!" Belinda exclaimed in surprise upon hearing the rain falling.

"Heh! Ma Diamond, what are you talking about? Did you know that it will rain today?"

Belinda’s expression looked funny as the questions were thrown at her.

"You can say so. My daughter told me to prepare an umbrella, but I didn’t believe her." She could only helplessly say this as she recalled how they didn’t believe Diamond’s words back then.

"Oh! Your daughter must be capable!"

"She is doing her best."

"Hah, don’t worry about the rain. Soon it will be stopping. Where can it go?"

Although it was raining, none of them believed that there would be heavy rains or the rain would continue to pour, so they got back to playing their cards once more.

But when the roof started sounding as if it was being hammered, drummed, and smashed, the women and men playing all stopped and looked at each other in horror.

"Is it really going to be heavy rains?" one of them asked in despair.

At that moment, "drip-drop," from nowhere, droplets of water started dropping and all of them went straight onto the floors.

Looking up to the roof, the several elders could only see the shining water glimmering on the metal sheets and they all knew that it was coming. _{fre eweb\(n)ovel(.)co(m)}

"If we continue staying in here, the roof might even end up falling on us."

"What should we do?"

"If we go out now, we might suffer again."

"Yes, the rain sounds very heavy. What should we do?"

As Belinda and Richard listened to their friends’ worries, they both regretted it.

Only if they had listened and prepared beforehand. Wouldn’t they be in a better situation right now?

Or maybe they should have done exactly what Diamond did, stay at home and didn’t bother to go out. With how heavy it was raining; it was even riskier to drive.

What were they going to do?

"Call Ruby and ask where she is. If she is still outside, then we call Diamond and hear from her what we should do," Richard instructed his wife upon seeing how blank she looked at what was happening.

When she heard that, Belinda hurriedly began to make her move.

She took her phone and called Ruby. Fortunately, the little girl answered her phone quickly and shortly Belinda could hear the drumming as the rain sounded heavier on Ruby’s side.

"Darling, you ... are you still outside?" Belinda asked worriedly as her hands trembled at the thought of her daughter being stuck in the rain.

[Huh, we are at the mall. It seems that we can’t go anywhere with this rain,] Ruby sounded dejected on the other side.

"Badum-badum," Belinda’s heart began to beat wildly as she thought of the danger her baby might face by being outside at a time like this.

"No matter what you do, don’t dare go anywhere in this kind of weather. Do you hear me?" she stated sternly as her hands trembled.

[I won’t be going, anyway. I guess just like others we can only wait.]

"That’s good. Keep in touch with me, you hear me?"

[Yes, Ma, I will.]

"Have you talked to your sister yet?"

[I am afraid not. I don’t know what she is up to, but I haven’t been able to reach her for a while now. Maybe she is sleeping.]

"I hope so. Okay, I will try to get in touch with Diamond. Just stay put there!"

[Sure Ma.]

After sternly instructing Ruby, Belinda hung up the call with a heavy heart.

"I hope that Diamond is at home. I don’t want anything happening to all of us!" Belinda prayed as her shaky hands dialed her eldest’s number.

"Ring. Ring. Ring."

The phone kept on ringing, but there wasn’t an answer.

Belinda tried calling ten times, and yet there wasn’t anyone responding. Seeing that, she didn’t know what to do. She could only look at her husband with teary eyes.

Richard hugged his wife as he brought her closer in his embrace.

They had moved to a much better room with a roof that wasn’t much leaking. Outside, no one could see anything as the rain continued falling heavily.
