Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 347

All Nell could feel was the pounding of her heartbeat which seemed to slow down following the rhythm of the child's heartbeat.

She raised her head to look at the surprised and curious faces around her as tears streamed down her face.

"What are you all looking at? Didn't you see she fell into the water? Hurry up and call a doctor! I beg you, hurry up and call a doctor for help!"

Only then did someone react as they quickly took out their phone to call for medical attention.

Nell continued to apply first aid to Lizzy while tears rolled down her cheeks uncontrollably.

"Sorry, it's all Mommy’s fault. Mommy shouldn't have let you go to the bathroom alone. I should’ve been with you, Lizzy. I'm sorry."

At this point, Nell blamed herself. There had never been such a moment in her life that she felt so regretful. Why did she let her go in alone? Why was she alright with letting such a small child roam about in such a strange place alone?

She did not know why Lizzy fell into the water or why she ran in the opposite direction from her.

Still, no matter what the reason was, she could not hide the fact that she did not take care of Lizzy well.

Fortunately, due to Old Master Garrett’s illness, the Garrett family had a family doctor all year round.

As soon as Nell rescued Lizzy, someone had already notified the doctor.

Coincidentally, he happened to be around.

Together with the doctor were Old Master Garrett, Old Master Leith, and a group of people.

Gideon naturally came together too.

When he saw the child lying there along with the stressed-out woman beside her, the man’s breath was caught in his throat and his gaze was cold.

Terrified, Old Madam Quinton and Old Master Leith hurried forward.

However, because the doctor was already at the scene, they did not dare to go near so as not to disturb the rescue attempt.

"Wh-what's going on? How could Lizzy have fallen into the water? She can't swim, so why would she come to the pool?"

On the way here, the Old Madam and the others had already heard what was going on. At this second, her face was pale with fright and she seemed to be in a state of shock.

Someone had already helped Nell, whose face was also pale, to stand up. However, because she had been in a hurry to go into the water to save Lizzy, she did not have the time to change her clothes.

The exquisite evening dress she was wearing earlier was now a crumpled mess. Together with her hair, it clung to her body, making her look particularly embarrassing.

She shook her head whilst her body trembled from the cold.

"I don't know. When I arrived, Lizzy was already in the water. It was all my fault. I shouldn't have let her in alone. I thought… I thought it would be fine for her to enter the bathroom by herself. It's all my fault!"

Tears slid down uncontrollably again, and the hot, salty liquid slid across her clammy face which made her tremble even more.

Upon seeing this, Gideon calmly took off his jacket, draped it over her shoulders, and wrapped her body.

"Don't be afraid, the doctor is here, and Lizzy will be fine."

He calmed her down and took Nell into his arms.

Her cold body could now feel some warmth. As if she were a tight string that instantly went slack, Nell's originally stiff body suddenly relaxed, and she just went limp in his arms.

Only then did Old Madam Quinton realize that there was something wrong with her, so she asked in concern, "Nelly, are you all right?"

Nell shook her head.

Maybe she had caught a cold or was too anxious just now, so there was a surge of adrenaline.
