Chapter 30
Now that Jack had seen it with his own eyes, he should come to realize what sort of person Elsa was.
A second later, I heard a loud plop beside me, and water splashed everywhere.
I never thought that Elsa would jump in as well.
She swam toward me and tried to pull me out of the pool. After a couple of tries, she ran out of energy and started to sink.
“Elsa!” Jack yelled. He took off his coat and jumped headfirst into the water. He carried Elsa to safety, completely ignoring me, who was still in the water.
I pouted in silent disbelief. In the face of danger, he actually ignored me, his own sister! What kind of big brother was he?
Even acting required energy. I was tired from splashing around in the water and decided to swim to the side of the pool myself, but suddenly, another person jumped in the water.
Eric grabbed me by the waist and lifted me out of the pool.
I sat on the ground, gasping sharply. Eric worriedly patted my back. “Are you okay? Do you feel terrible?”
Actually, only the first few gulps of water were real The rest were just an act.
I put my hand to my chest as if I was calming myself and shook my head. “I’m fine. Don’t worry.”
Eric tightened his brows and helped me get up from the ground. “Go and change your clothes, or you’ll catch a cold.”
“Hold on!” Jack took a big step forward and blocked our path.
He angrily glared at me. “Jane, why did you push Elsa into the water? How long are you going to keep hurting her?” he asked in an accusatory tone.
I laughed bitterly at what he said. “You think that I pushed her into the water? Jack, are you blind? She was the one who pushed me. Tell me, how could someone who was already in the water have pushed her?” I helplessly replied.
