The Merman, My Man by Black Velvet Chapter 41
Someone saved me and it was someone who could swim in the icy cold water! I was saved!
My heart ignited with new hope. I wanted to raise my head to see my savior’s face but I couldn’t because even my neck was stiff.
He pushed me up causing the water to splash where I had emerged from the surface, and swam towards the direction of all the shouting.
The sound of my parents’ voices became clearer as I got closer. I was about to be saved!
When warm light shone onto me, I realized that I could live to see another day even though my vision was becoming blurry and my consciousness was slipping away.
I could hear my mom exclaim, “Thank the Lord, it’s Linda! She’s swimming towards us. Oh, my child! “
“Goodness gracious, it must be a miracle that she’s still alive! Come and take a look, someone is dragging her…“
“Good Lord, what is that? It’s a…“
The strong arm that was dragging me along the water surface suddenly released its grip. I was left floating on the water and I could feel myself drifting several meters. Then, several pairs of hands lifted me up.
“My daughter. My dear.“
I fell into my mom’s warm embrace as her hot tears dripped onto me, causing me to cry out loud. I weakly hugged her back and felt her warmth.
Through the tears, I saw a man floating in the sea with his entire torso out of the water.
