Cierra didn’t know how she got ashore.
She was pressed into the bottom of the water, and then she was lifted up by the floating force.
There was nowhere to stand in the water. As she rose and fell, she once thought that she was going to be buried in the cold lake.
The cold water wrapped around her from all directions was like a thin net. It began to tighten as if it had caught prey, and then sank her into the water.
The situation was critical. There was a warm and powerful palm under her feet, which dragged her into the water again.
By relying on her survival instinct, Cierra tried to break free from the grip and rush towards the surface of the water.
But she had no choice. The more she struggled, the tighter the grab became.
Just when she thought that she could take advantage of the tide to step on the man below, she was pulled back into the deep water by a strong force! She was so close to taking a breath.
It was like being almost able to grab a driftwood on the surface of the water. At this time, the people standing on the shore smashed a stone, making the waves keep the wood away from her.
As a result, the hope of survival was also shattered.
All of a sudden, Cierra felt a of defeat.
If she would really be buried here, she would definitely drag someone down with her!
The force in the water was originally entangled with her, but she took the initiative to turn into one of the forces and began to fight with the other party.
It was a good thing to perish with this lunatic.
However, it was different from what Cierra had imagined.
She had thought that she would be dragged by Patrick to die together, but she was dragged up in a desperate situation.
When her red lips were blocked, she gradually lost consciousness because of the lack of oxygen.
It was like a dream.
In addition to the sound of running water, she could still hear William calling her.
Not only William, but also her mother, father, and Jaquan…
She had fallen into a nightmare and given up struggling. Going with the stream was probably in her current state.
If she really disappeared from the world and integrated into the mountains and rivers, it didn’t seem to be unacceptable.
However, she felt a little regretful.
She hadn’t seen William marry Lydia, or Bruno had reconciled with Wanda, and her mother’s health had not improved completely.
There were still a lot of things to do.
If she hadn’t returned to the Barton family, she might have been able to leave calmly.
But in the end, she had seen them already.
“Wake up!”
As her consciousness grew hazy, Cierra seemed to be able to hear the chattering of angry roars in her ears.
“Miss Barton, you’d better wake up.
“I went through so much trouble to drag you ashore. I didn’t want to see you become a corpse.
“Cierra! If you don’t wake up, I’ll throw you back into the water. At least you can make some contributions by feeding fish. What’s the point of lying on the shore without opening your eyes?
“Cierra, wake up!”
“Cough.”
The accumulated water in Cierra’s lungs was cleared, and she came back to her senses.
Was she… not dead?
Her tired eyelids moved, and the dazzling sunlight made her unable to open her eyes.
Since her body was so weak that she couldn’t move, she simply lay on the shore like at salted fish. Other than raising her hand to show that she was alive, she didn’t do anything else.
Alive…
She was still alive.
