Who Knew My Assigned Mechanic Husband Was a Big Shot? novel Chapter 156

After all, shrimp gear could catch fish too.

The rocks sat about ten feet above the water, and her line was the perfect length.

After a brief wait, she felt a strong tug. A fish took the bait!

Thrilled, Sloane immediately tried to reel it in.

But the fish was surprisingly heavy, and the safety railing here was incredibly low, barely reaching her upper thigh.

As she leaned over the rail to pull the line, her foot slipped on a slick patch of moss, and she pitched forward.

"Ah!"

Hearing the scream, the two fishermen beside her panicked. "Someone fell in!"

Logan happened to be walking past just as it happened.

Hearing the shout, he sprinted over. "Where?"

"Down there!"

The two men pointed their flashlights down at the churning water. Logan instantly saw a figure thrashing in the waves.

Without a second thought, he dove over the edge.

Down in the freezing water, Sloane fought to stay afloat.

She knew how to swim, but the waves were violently unpredictable.

The rock face she had fallen near was massive and slick with algae. There were no handholds, nowhere to brace her feet. Even when she managed to surface, the current threatened to drag her back under.

But through the chaos, she realized someone had jumped in after her.

Up on the cliffs, the hospital staff came running.

"Was that Sloane who fell?"

"Yes! Major Lennox jumped in after her!"

They desperately shined their flashlights down at the dark, roiling sea.

The moment Logan hit the water, a massive wave slammed into him, driving him hard against the jagged rocks. The impact knocked the wind out of him, sending a sharp, crushing pressure through his chest.

He fought through the pain, orienting himself to find her.

Visibility was terrible, but he spotted a faint silhouette and swam furiously toward it.

Grabbing her by the waist, he began towing her toward a flatter stretch of beach further down the shore.
