A Sweet Night: The CEO Loves His Wife Ardently novel Chapter 144

Seeing this, Bryson's heart was in his mouth.

"Audrey, Audrey!" Bryson shouted at Audrey.

Audrey was exhausted from being washed away in the flood. She tried her best to cling to the trunk and hold the little boy in her arm.

The sound of the flash flood was so loud that she could not hear other sounds. When Audrey suddenly heard Bryson's shouts, she thought that it was her imagination. Since Audrey kept hearing Bryson's voice, she began to hope again and looked in the direction of the voice.

Audrey saw an upright figure standing on the shore.

It was Bryson.

It was about five meters from Audrey's location to the shore.

Although it was only five meters, the current was so strong that people could hardly stand firmly in the water, not to mention to save people.

Seeing that Bryson was about to step into the water, Lance, who followed him, subconsciously grabbed Bryson's arm.

"What are you doing?" Lance asked.

"I'm going to save her!"

"The current is so strong now, how can you save her? The flash flood is gradually receding. Could you wait a while? We'll save her when it slackens."

Bryson pushed Lance away coldly.

"She'll die when it slackens."

"But you will die if you go to save her now."

Bryson did not even look at him. He picked up several vines from the ground and wove them together. He tied one end to a large tree and another to his body.

He grabbed the vine with one hand and slowly walked into the water. Bryson was swept to Audrey by the force of waves.

The current was strong. Bryson clutched the vine tightly so that he wouldn't be washed away.

Audrey looked at him in shock. She scolded angrily, "Bryson, are you crazy?"

Bryson checked Audrey carefully and made sure that she was not injured. He extended his hand towards her and said, "Audrey, give me your hand."

Audrey glanced at the vines tied on Bryson's waist and shook her head resolutely.

"No. The vines can't hold three of us."

Looking at the child in her arms, Audrey gritted her teeth and said, "Help me save Ben first."

"But you..."

Audrey shook her head with a smile, "I'm fine. I can hold on. Please save him first. Come and save me later."

Bryson frowned and thought quickly.

Seeing Audrey's resolute gaze, he knew that he could not persuade her. No one could convince Audrey when she insisted.

Bryson compromised.

"Okay. You wait here. I'll come back to you as soon as I get him to shore."

Audrey nodded with a smile, "Sure, I'll be right here waiting for you."

Audrey spoke to the little boy in her arm, "Ben, go with this uncle."

Ben looked at Audrey, "What about you, Auntie?"

"After uncle gets you to shore, he will come to save me."

"Okay!" Ben nodded.

Audrey handed Ben to Bryson. Bryson held Ben and glanced at her. Then, he tightened the vines and walked back with great effort.
