Ryan stopped her. “Young man, wait a moment.”
Cameron stopped and looked at him.
Ryan smiled and said, “Sorry, I misunderstood you just now. You’re young but brave and resourceful. You’re really good.”
Within just a few dozen seconds, Cameron snatched the gun, fired a shot, and accurately hit the criminal’s wrist. She was clear-headed, calm, and composed. She had the quality of a police officer.
Cameron forced a smile and said, “You’re overpraising me. I just didn’t want anything to happen to my classmate.” That was truly her intention.
Ryan said, “We’ve offered a reward of 600 thousand dollars for the capture of this criminal. We’ve been staking him out for over a month. Unexpectedly, you’ve helped us a lot.”
If it hadn’t been for Cameron, Ryan might have let the drug dealer go as the drug dealer wished.
But if this extremely vicious person escaped, he might still hurt innocent people. So Cameron had really done a great deed.
Ryan said, “Come to the police station later to claim the reward.”
Cameron asked, “What reward?”
Ryan said, “The reward of 600 thousand dollars for this criminal.”
Cameron was stunned.
“We’re leaving now.” Ryan patted Cameron on the shoulder.
Cameron was a bit stunned. She had just fired a shot and got a reward of 600 thousand dollars. She was really lucky.
Ryan and his group left, and the crowd dispersed.
Elijah was comforting Austin. “Austin, are you okay? Are you all right?”
Austin sat on the ground and didn’t answer Elijah’s question. He just stared straight at Cameron.
Cameron had saved his life.
Austin’s heart was pounding wildly. Apart from his mother, Cameron treated him most nicely in this world. There were glistening tears in Austin’s eyes as he looked at Cameron.
Cameron smiled to herself. She really hadn’t done anything special, so she didn’t dare to take the reward money
Cameron walked slowly towards Austin. Seeing Austin staring straight at her, she squatted down and tentatively asked, “Are you dumb because of what happened?”
Elijah said, “He hasn’t said a word since just now. He must be scared.”
“Austin?” Cameron waved her hand in front of Austin.
The next moment, her hand was firmly grasped by Austin’s hand. Cameron was extremely puzzled.
Austin held Cameron’s hand tightly. He wanted to say something, but found that all his feelings were stuck in his throat.
All the emotions he had hidden for 18 years seemed to be surging out, so he couldn’t say a word.
Cameron didn’t like being touched by strangers, especially since Austin was a boy. So she frowned slightly and said, “Austin, please let go of my hand. Are you okay?”
Austin still held Cameron’s hand tightly. “Cameron, thank you. Thank you for saving me.”
Austin said a series of thanks, but he still couldn’t express his gratitude to Cameron.
Cameron said, “It’s just a piece of cake. Can you let go of me?”
Austin still didn’t let go. Cameron had to hold his fingers and pull them apart one by one.
Austin didn’t know what else to say.
Cameron stood up, took two steps back, and looked at Elijah. “Elijah, can you help Austin up from the ground?”
Austin looked at Cameron and said, “Cameron, can you help me up?”
Elijah, who was about to bend down, was a bit speechless.
Cameron had no choice but to hold Austin’s arm and pull him up from the ground.
Austin was a bit unsteady on his feet. “Cameron, my legs are a bit weak. Can you support me?” Austin said feebly.
Cameron was completely speechless.
“Let me help you.” Elijah grabbed one of Austin’s arms and put it on his shoulder.
Austin frowned and said, “Elijah, you’re too tall. I’m not comfortable with you supporting me.”
After Austin finished speaking, he looked at Cameron.
Elijah didn’t know what to say.
Cameron crossed her arms and said, “Austin, I have mysophobia and I don’t like to have contact with people.”
Besides, Austin wasn’t injured.
Although it had been really terrifying just now, the whole rescue process had only lasted a few minutes. As a grown man, Austin shouldn’t have been so scared that he couldn’t even walk. Besides, he had already recovered for so long.
After a few seconds of silence, Austin said, “Elijah, I’m okay. I can walk by myself.” Then he took his arm back from Elijah’s shoulder.
Elijah thought Austin was acting weird all of a sudden.
Austin then looked at Cameron again.
Cameron asked him helplessly, “Austin, do you want to go to the hospital for a check-up?”
Austin shook his head.
Elijah took out his phone and looked at the time. “It’s almost noon. Let’s find a place to eat and take a rest.”
Cameron nodded.
Austin said, “As long as Cameron agrees.”
Both Cameron and Elijah were a bit speechless.
The three of them left the park together. Outside the park was a commercial street with all kinds of restaurants.
Cameron and Elijah walked slowly to match Austin’s pace.
Cameron asked, “What do you want for lunch?”
Before Elijah could answer, Austin smiled and said, “I’ll eat whatever Cameron eats.”
Cameron felt really speechless, and Elijah was extremely puzzled.
He looked at Austin and asked, “Austin, what’s wrong with you? Are you over-terrified?”
Austin glanced at Cameron with a smile, then looked at Elijah and said, “I’m fine.”
Elijah didn’t say anything more.
Then he pointed at a taco restaurant ahead and said, “How about tacos?”
Cameron nodded. “I have no problem with that.” Then she turned to Austin and asked, “Austin, what about you?”
Austin said, “I have no problem either.”
Cameron took a step back. “Austin, can you act normally? You’re making me feel uncomfortable.”
After a moment of silence, Austin nodded with a smile.
The three of them went to the taco restaurant and chose a seat by the window.
Elijah sat down, and Cameron also sat down. Austin sat down next to Cameron, poured her a glass of lemonade, and said attentively, “Are you thirsty? Have some lemonade.”
Cameron took the lemonade and then thanked Austin.
Austin smiled and said, “You don’t have to.”
Elijah looked at the water kettle beside Austin, which was on the opposite side of him, and then said, “Austin, do you mind pouring me a glass of water?”
Austin handed the kettle to Elijah. “Do it yourself.”
Elijah nodded and didn’t think there was anything wrong with that.
The waiter brought the menu. Austin took it and asked Cameron, “Cameron, what do you like to eat?”
