Chapter 761: Chapter 761: Saving Lives is the Priority

She was also splattered with the victims’ blood, and a long gash had been scraped onto her arm. It must have happened accidentally while she was helping someone.

The concern in her eyes for the children didn’t look like it was faked.

Lynn Dawson froze for a moment before quickly composing herself and continuing, "As we can see, many concerned onlookers on site have joined the rescue effort..."

Just then, a young mother carrying an infant rushed over. Her eyes landed on a child stuck on the roller coaster, and she burst into tears. "My boy! My boy!"

She ran forward, still crying, and stared at the unconscious child trapped on the ride. Her heart was breaking. She wanted to pull him out, but with another baby in her arms, she couldn’t free a hand and could only pace back and forth in a panic.

Claire Sinclair suddenly walked up to her and said comfortingly, "Ma’am, please don’t panic. They’ll get your son out soon."

"How can I not panic? He’s my oldest son! Today’s his birthday... How could I have been so stupid, leaving him here all by himself? I’m so, so stupid... SOB..."

Listening to the young mother’s sobbing, Claire Sinclair’s heart ached. She turned to look at Landon Winston, who was still helping with the rescue up ahead, and shouted, "Landon Winston, come over here!"

Landon Winston immediately jogged over. "Ma’am, what do you need?"

"Are any more of Mr. Quincy’s men nearby? Call them over right now. Rescuing these people is the priority."

"Yes, ma’am!" Landon Winston acknowledged, then took out his phone to make a call.

Half a minute later, Landon Winston spoke again. "Ma’am, they’ll be here any second. Is there anything else?"

"That’s all. Go back and help with the rescue."

"Yes, ma’am!" Landon Winston gave a nod and ran back to help.

The young mother suddenly recalled something and asked in surprise, "Aren’t you that Claire Sinclair?"

Claire Sinclair replied, "I’m Claire Sinclair. Don’t worry, Ma’am, the rescue workers will be here any moment."

The words had barely left her mouth when several men in blue uniforms came running over in formation. Claire Sinclair immediately said, "They’re here. Let’s move aside and give them room to work."

The young mother nodded and silently stepped back.

The rescue squad arrived, and the rescue operation officially began.

Before long, fire trucks and ambulances arrived as well. All the children trapped on the roller coaster were soon rescued. Tragically, two of the children already showed no signs of life by the time they were brought down.

After the news aired, the incident garnered widespread public attention and started trending on social media.

That afternoon, Claire Sinclair and her crew went to the hospital to do a follow-up report on the incident. They didn’t wrap up and head back to the station until after seven in the evening.

On the ride back, Lynn Dawson questioned Claire Sinclair, "Claire, who were those rescuers you called in today? Where did you find them?"

’She seemed to remember one of the men calling Claire ’Ma’am.’ Something about the whole thing felt off.’

Claire Sinclair had been involved in the rescue efforts all day. Even though she’d mostly been looking after the children, she was still exhausted. She answered distractedly, "They’re my bodyguards."

Lynn Dawson: "..."

Mr. Lancaster, who seemed to have figured something out, chimed in naturally, "Do these bodyguards of yours follow you 24/7?"

Claire Sinclair nodded. "Pretty much. They’re probably following our car right now."

Mr. Lancaster: "..."

Lynn Dawson asked, "With that many bodyguards, how much do you pay them a month?"

"Um..." Claire Sinclair was stumped. She thought for a moment before finally saying, "I’m not really sure. Someone else made all the arrangements for me."
