"Mom!"
"Chloe!"
"Oh my god!"
Several cries of alarm rang out.
Noah Grant’s small figure instantly dashed over and jumped into the swimming pool, struggling to reach out for Sunny Reed, trying to save his mom.
This was followed by a huge splash.
Walker Grant had jumped in.
Neither Sunny Reed nor Chloe Reed knew how to swim.
After they plunged in, Chloe Reed let go of her, watching her flail in the water.
She, in turn, spread her arms and let herself sink to the bottom of the pool.
An immense fear gripped her. Memories of nearly drowning as a child flooded back, and she trembled uncontrollably in terror.
That was why she was terrified of swimming.
The feeling of suffocation would drive her mad.
Walker Grant knew this. He had never let her near the edge of a swimming pool all these years.
But now, she was watching him.
’Who will he choose?’
In the face of life and death, she didn’t believe any of his so-called explanations. Only his actions could prove everything.
The light and shadows flickered. It was getting harder to hold her breath, and bubbles streamed upward.
Then, she saw Walker Grant grab Noah Grant, lift him onto the pool deck, and hand him to the people on the side.
He then turned and swam toward her.
But a moment later, Sunny Reed, who wasn’t far from him, seemed to run out of energy to struggle and began to sink.
She saw him go save Sunny Reed.
Chloe Reed closed her eyes.
Utterly heartbroken.
’In his world, Noah Grant was first, Sunny Reed was second, and I am third.’
’No.’
’That list doesn’t even include the others.’
’What if Madam Grant and his parents were added to the mix?’
’Then I probably wouldn’t have a place at all.’
