Chapter 299
Stella did not expect Bella to act so insanely. Luckily, she reacted quickly and managed to grab the guardrail in time.
But, Bella was very strong. She seemed as though she would not give up until she could pull Stella down into the water. Stella realized that she could not free herself. So, she kicked Bella.
‘Get off!’ Stella thought.
Bella was then kicked into the water out of fear by Stella.
Mrs. Chapman suddenly screamed behind Stella. “Help, somebody. Someone fell into the water!”
Her voice instantly alerted everyone on deck.
“Who dropped into the water?”
“I think it’s Ms. Young.”
“Oh, my god. She was just fine a while ago. How did she fall into the water?”
“Mrs. Chapman said she saw Ms. Young arguing with Mrs. Kane. Then, she heard the sound of water splashing after a short while.”
“Are you saying that Mrs. Kane pushed her into the water?”
“I didn’t say that.”
People were talking about the incident on the ship.
When they saw Keegan, everyone kept quiet.
Keegan came forth from the crowd. He then saw Stella standing next to the guardrail, expressionlessly looking at the rescuer dragging Bella onto the lifeboat.
He pursed his lips and walked forward to grab Stella’s hand. Stella froze for a moment. She pressed her lips and remained silent.
The seawater was exceptionally cold. Although Bella did not drown, she was freezing.
She wore a gauze dress in the month of April to be in the limelight. After she got wet, her clothes were all sticking to her body. Her body curves could be seen clearly.
The men at the scene looked awkward. But, they would periodically glance at her body.
Marshall took off his jacket. He then walked forward and put it on Bella.
Bella’s eyes were red as she said in a hoarse voice, “thank you.”
The doctor on the cruise ship came forward to examine Bella. He said that she was in a state of shock. She was fine other than that.
After the doctor had left, Bella brought up her emotions. Just when she was about to speak, Stella suddenly stepped forward and grabbed her hand. She said with a face full of remorse, “I told you to grab onto my hand tightly just now. Why did you loosen your grip? Luckily, you’re fine. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to explain this to everyone.”
Bella looked confused.
Keegan sized them up and faintly said, “What happened?”
“1”
“Ms. Young drank too much. She was standing shakingly next to the guardrail. And, when the ship jerked, she lost her balance and flipped over the rail. I wanted to grab her. But, she released her grip and fell into the water. My wrist is so painful from her pull.”
