Love Coming From The Least Expected novel Chapter 262

I dived my head into the water and looked around. I found Christopher sinking deeper into the waters, so I quickly wrapped my arms around his waist and brought him to the surface. While I was looking around for the raft, I slapped his face. “Christopher, wake up! John’s dead! We’re still alive! Don’t leave me. Please! I don’t want to be alone.”

At that moment, Christopher’s eyes were closed, and he did not move. His face was rid of any signs of life. Even his breathing was turning faint, but the only thing I could do was apply pressure onto his wound and swim faster. When I saw a raft, I yelled out, “Let us on! Please! I beg of you!”

The raft slowed down. Some men helped both me and Christopher get on. I let Christopher lean on me as I continued to press on his wound, doing my best to slow down the bleeding. I even gave him CPR in case he did not get enough oxygen.

After a long while, despite all that, Christopher was still unconscious. I was starting to panic. “Christopher, you lied to me. You told me you would take care of me for the rest of my life, that you would introduce me to your parents. You haven’t done any of that. How could you lie to me?”

I used all my strength to pound at his heart, clearing the water out of his mouth. I wiped away the tears that fell onto his face and listened for a heartbeat. But all I could hear was a very faint beating, and it was growing weaker.

I could no longer hold it in and started crying. Christopher was the only person that ever treated me well. I could not even think about going on living without him.

“Christopher. Are you really going to leave me alone? Is life really worth living without you in it?”

I paused. “We didn’t even have a wedding yet. I want a grandiose wedding that would tell the world I’m married to you. I want all the women out there to be jealous of an ill-fated woman like me for finding a man like you. I want your parent’s blessing. Can you please wake up? I’ll do anything you ask, anything. As long as you wake up.”

I took a deep breath. “Is death the only way for us to be together?”
