Such a Rude and Noisy Woman novel Chapter 17

Rachel Ruan gasped and ran to the side of the swimming pool. Suddenly, a figure rose up and broke the surface of the water, making a great splash. It was the same tall and handsome man that she had noticed before. He was holding the little girl in one arm and swimming towards the side of the pool.

Rachel heaved a sigh of relief. She realized that her legs were still trembling with fear. Every time she read about a child dying in a drowning accident, her heart went out to them.

Now that she'd seen a child in danger with her own eyes, she was frightened beyond belief. It was a terrible feeling. Fortunately, the child was safe now.

"Oh, my god! My daughter! John, why weren't you taking care of your younger sister?" A woman had just come out of the washroom while the girl was being rescued from the pool. Distressed, she began yelling at a ten-year old boy.

"I...I was having fun. I didn't notice where sister was," the boy stammered as he kept his head down. He was also shaken by what had happened.

Thankfully, the little girl had been rescued in time.

The rescuer had already placed the girl on the ground near the side of the pool. He was performing chest compressions on her. After a few seconds, the girl coughed and spat out some water. As soon as she opened her eyes, she cried,"Mom! Mom, please don't blame brother. It's my fault. I shouldn't have gone into the pool by myself."

The woman ran up to her daughter and hugged her. Crying, she kissed the girl's forehead and said,"May, are you all right? You frightened me so much, you know that?"

"I'm all right, mom. I'm fine," May replied weakly.

Finally satisfied that her daughter wasn't in danger anymore, the woman heaved a sigh of relief. She held her daughter even tighter and turned to the man who had saved her. "Thank you so much! I don't even want to imagine what would've happened if you hadn't been there. We're very grateful to you."

She then shouted at the boy behind her,"John, follow me. We are going back home!" Carrying her daughter in her arms, the woman hastily left the swimming pool with her son in tow.

The onlookers around them also drifted away after they left, all except Rachel. She looked curiously at the man who'd been left alone there. No one had even bothered to hand a towel to this hero who had just saved a life.

Not only was he good-looking, he also had a very kind heart.

The towel hanger on the side caught Rachel's eyes. She walked up to it and grabbed one of the clean towels before approaching the man.

"Like the old saying goes, a hero is always alone. You saved her daughter, but all she did was thank you and leave. I think she should have at least treated you to a meal. What do you think?"

The man turned around to find the source of the voice. He took off his pair of swimming goggles. Water dripped down from his hair. When he saw Rachel approaching him, his face broke into a charming smile.

"Actually, I feel pretty good, now that a beautiful woman is handing me a towel."

Rachel blinked and marveled in her mind, 'What a pure handsome man!'

He was handsome with a good set of facial features. His bushy and black eyebrows made him look lively, while his pair of bright eyes gleamed like diamonds. And now that he was smiling at her, she also saw that he had very nice teeth.

Rachel was especially attracted by his eyes. They looked pure, reminding her of a pond of clean water.

It was rare to find men with such pure eyes these days.

"I know I'm really good-looking, but do you have to stare at me without even blinking? Aren't your eyes getting tired?" he teased and laughed.

"What? Oh, right." Rachel chuckled. "You are really handsome. You look more beautiful than the women I've met," Rachel admitted. She looked down and finally remembered why she had talked to him in the first place. She walked forward and said,"The towel, here you are."

"Caution! The floor is wet!"

"What?"

Rachel hadn't noticed the puddle of water on the ground where the little girl had been lying down earlier. Before she could react, she slipped and fell towards the swimming pool.

The man jerked forward and grabbed her hand to pull her up, But the floor was too slippery.
