The Mysterious Billionaire and His Substitute Bride (Ethan and Janet) novel Chapter 265

Ethan forbade Laney to reveal her true identity to Janet, so she responded quickly, "Oh, my name is Laney Garcia. I was on my way home from work. When I passed the bridge, I saw a truck crash against your car and plunge into the river. I come from a family of fishermen, so I'm a good swimmer. I jumped into the river to save you."

The young lady had a slender physique. Her benign face and gentle aura gave Janet the assurance that she wouldn't harm her.

Janet's heart swelled with gratitude. The fact that she had survived a disaster brought tears to her eyes. Janet held Laney's hand and sobbed uncontrollably. "Miss Garcia, thank you for saving my life. I'm forever indebted to you."

Janet remembered traversing the high bridge. It was cold, and the river was flowing fast. It was brave of Laney to dive into the river to save her, ignoring the danger. After all, she looked frail and delicate.

"You're welcome." Laney tried withdrawing her hand, but Janet held her in a vice-like grip. Her skin prickled with goosebumps when she saw Janet's eyes gleaming with gratitude.

Laney cleared her throat and forced an awkward smile at her.

"You dove from a high bridge into this treacherous river to save me -- a stranger you've never met before. If not for you, I would have died today. Even friends and family may think twice before offering help, but you risked your own life to save me. By the way, my name is Janet Lind. I will properly express my gratitude once we get out of here." Janet couldn't stop thanking Laney. The fact that the woman had saved her despite being a total stranger moved her.

No one had bothered to offer Janet kindness, let alone save her life. She had always felt lonely and desolate in this world.
