The Invincible Mercenary King (by Matt Watt) novel Chapter 637

Chapter 637 

“Leg cramp?” 

Haylan and Ceci locked eyes and couldn’t help but burst into laughter. 

“Alright, Mimi, enough with the jokes. Get back on your feet. We don’t have time to fool around,” Ceci said. 

They were both intimately acquainted with Mia, fully aware of her exceptional swimming skills. The mere notion of her experiencing a leg cramp was inconceivable. 

Haylan, in particular, held a lasting impression of Mia’s swimming prowess. 

During their time in high school, Mia reigned as the swimming champion, even going on to represent the school in 

various youth swimming competitions and earning a remarkable second–place victory. 

Given her swimming abilities, she seemed unlikely to experience a leg cramp in a mere, shallow pool. 

It was apparent to both of them that Mia was teasing them. 

Moreover, even if she did experience a leg cramp, the pool’s shallow depth wouldn’t pose any real threat. Mia could easily float to the surface and alleviate the cramp by climbing out. 

So, Haylan didn’t think much of it and continued with his meal, focusing on his food. 

Ceci let out a small laugh and also brushed off the situation, paying it no further attention. 

And just like that, thirty seconds later, Mia disappeared beneath the water without resurfacing. 

“Mimi, quit joking around and join us for the meal,” Ceci pleaded. 

Thirty seconds went by, and there was still no response. 

After a full minute, there was still no sign of any reaction. 

After five minutes, Mia still showed no signs of movement. 

Ceci and Haylan exchanged glances, their eyes widening with concern. Without hesitation, they swiftly rose from their seats and sprinted toward the pool. 

Five minutes had passed, potentially proving fatal for an average person drowning! 

It was clear that something had gone wrong with Mia! 

“Mimi!” Ceci’s eyes filled with worry as she instinctively moved to jump into the pool and save her. 

Haylan swiftly caught hold of her. “You’ve just recovered from a major illness. You can’t go near the water.” 

After speaking, he pulled Ceci to the side and swiftly leaped into the pool, swimming toward where Mia was submerged. 

As he entered the water, he spotted Mia lying beneath, her mouth slightly agape as water flowed from the pool. 

Her eyes were glazed, her mouth wide open, clearly teetering on the edge of shock and unconsciousness. 

Without hesitation, Haylan swiftly glided through the water like a fish, reaching Mia’s side. He cradled her in his arms and emerged from the pool, ensuring her head remained above the water for breathing. 

Carefully, he carried Mia out of the pool and laid her on a sun–drenched lounger, immediately checking her pulse. 

Thankfully, it was merely a result of the extended oxygen deprivation that had caused her to lose consciousness, and there were no severe consequences. 

Prioritizing the urgency of saving a life, he wasted no time. Swiftly, he opened Mia’s mouth, clearing any obstructions, before interlocking his hands and initiating chest compressions for CPR. 

His technique was impeccable, and each compression was delivered with precision. Mia’s body trembled in response to his 

actions. 

Simultaneously, she gasped and forcefully expelled water from her mouth, in large, desperate gulps. 

However, after spitting out the water, she was still unconscious. 

“Mr. Jaber, how did this happen? Is Mimi going to be okay?” Ceci’s eyes brimmed with concern and a sense of urgency. 

“She’s not in immediate danger. We need to keep up with the CPR, and she’ll make it through,” Haylan replied calmly. 

“Then let’s keep going and do it fast!” Ceci urged with a sense of urgency.
