When Serena snapped out of it, she saw the black car that had been ahead of them get rammed straight into the river.

Her eyes went wide as she watched the big rig just keep going, not even slowing down as it sped away from the scene.

Chris stared in disbelief at what was happening. The truck driver had done it on purpose.

Anger flashed through Chris. He thought, ‘Seriously, how can people be this cruel? They don’t care about anyone’s life. For money, they’d do anything!

“Ms. Hale, they were obviously trying to kill someone,” Chris said, his voice tense.

Serena looked out the window at the car that had been shoved into the river. The current was raging, and there was almost no way anyone could be saved.

Serena tried to figure out if there was any way she could save them.

Calling for help was pointless. There’s no way the rescue team would make it in time. The river was moving fast, and the car was already drifting downstream.

As the car was about to float away, the water ahead looked calmer, but Serena knew that spot might seem safer, yet it was actually much deeper.

She just wanted to hit the beach and grab some seafood. She never signed up for this kind of drama.

She thought, ‘Honestly, jumping in to save someone? I would totally lose my life over this.‘

Ever since she donated her liver to Dylan, her health had been a mess. She’d only just started to recover after years of taking care of herself.

In the end, she grabbed her phone and called for help.

There was no way Serena could just watch a living, breathing person die right in front of her.

She yanked open the car door and jumped out. “Chris, there’s a rescue rope in the car. I’ll tie it around my waist and go in after them. You stay on the shore and keep hold of the rope.

“You’re stronger than me, so you can pull us back. If we just hang on until the rescue team gets here, we’ll be

But Chris wasn’t having it. He yelled, panicked, “Ms. Hale, you can’t! You’re not as strong as you used to be. Bennett said you absolutely can’t let yourself get chilled.

“He has even been super careful about what you eat. It’s fall now, and the water’s freezing. You can’t go in.”

Serena knew her own limits. She popped a pill from her bag, swallowed it, and flashed Chris a reassuring smile. “Chris, we can’t just stand here and do nothing while someone’s life is on the line.”

Chris pressed his lips together, worry written all over his face as he looked at her. “Ms. Hale-”

Serena cut him off with a grin. “Come on, quit worrying. Saving them comes first. I’ll be fine, trust me. And don’t forget that I’m actually a pretty good swimmer”

Serena flipped open the trunk and pulled out a coil of bright orange rescue rope, a pair of bolt cutters, and some scissors.

She looked at Chris and reminded him, “Chris, after I jump in, make sure to tie the rope to a tree, so I don’t end up pulling you in, too.”

Chris looked at her, his eyes shining with unshed tears. His voice was thick with emotion as he said, “I’ll go in. You tie the rope to the tree.”

Serena just chuckled, shaking her head. “The car is still drifting and about to get swallowed up by the river. Be real, there’s no way I could haul a big guy like you out of the water, but you can definitely yank me back to shore.

“That’s settled. This way, we’ve got a much better chance of making it out alive. So relax, I’m not planning on dying here. I’ve still got a kid waiting for me at home, and I’m not about to let him down.”

Serena stuffed the tools into her bag, shrugged off her coat, and, with a determined breath, leapt into the river, without any hesitation, just pure resolve.
