Chapter 319
Betty’s POV:
When Betty jumped down, my mother fainted. The emotional Hank wanted to jump down to save them but was stopped. They said that Hank couldn’t swim, and jumping down would only make things more chaotic. “Betty, Anne…” I was extremely sad, Were the two living lives really going to disappear in front of me? And they were my family. At this moment, I only had one thought. I could swim. I wanted to save them.
I was about to jump down when I reached the riverside, but a pair of hands stopped me.
I turned around and saw Herbert standing behind me.
“Let me do it,” said Herbert. Herbert was taking off his tie and shoes. I was very worried about him. “Do you know how to swim?” Herbert comforted me. “Don’t worry. I’m the school’s swimming champion in college!” After that, he turned around and jumped into the river. “Herbert!” My hand grabbed the railing on the bridge and cried out in pain.
Everyone was looking at Herbert, who was swimming hard in the river. Everyone seemed to be very nervous.
No one said a word. They were all paying close attention to the man in the river who was searching for the mother and daughter who had just jumped in. Soon, Herbert rescued Anne. He held Anne with his strong arm and swam to the shore. At this time, everyone cheered. They all said that Herbert was a hero. Hank and I rushed to the shore, and some kind-hearted people had taken Anne from Herbert’s arms. Although Anne’s face was pale, she was still alive. She coughed twice and spat out a few mouthfuls of river water.
Herbert glanced at Anne, who should be fine. Then he turned around and swam to the middle of the river again.
Ipatted Anne’s back twice and then turned to look at Herbert, who was in the river. I shouted at his back, “Herbert, you must come back safely!” Although I was worried about Betty, I was also very worried about Herbert. But Betty jumped down on her own.
I didn’t know if Herbert heard me. I could only pray in my heart: I hope Betty will be safe. I hope that my child’s father will come back safely. About ten minutes later, I finally saw Herbert swimming over from afar while pulling someone. Seeing that he had finally saved Betty, I was so excited that my eyes were full of tears.
