Suddenly, there was a ripple on the water surface.
Molly's head popped up first.
Then Ivy, face up, and Max, with Ivy's clothes clamped in his mouth.
Molly and Max, they both struggled to drag Ivy towards a shallow spot not too far from Rosalynn.
At the same time, the police officers nearby immediately blared their sirens, rushing towards them.
Seeing Ivy, Rosalynn wanted to rush over to help.
"You wait on the shore. I'm a better swimmer, I'll get Ivy!" Erica stopped Rosalynn.
Then, Erica took off the ring given by Larkin, put it in her pocket, and jumped into the water.
Luckily, this part of the river had a large beach area and the current wasn't as swift as before. Erica quickly swam to where Molly was, took Ivy, and swam fast towards the shore.
Rosalynn was frantic.
Carrying the unconscious Ivy to the shore, Rosalynn immediately took over and started performing CPR.
Erica knelt by the side, praying incessantly, tears fell from her eyes.
Max was completely exhausted.
He didn't even have the strength to get up when he reached the shore. Rosalynn had to help him.
Max lay next to Ivy, watching her, nudging her hand with his nose from time to time.
Across the river, Jennifer, who was laughing wildly just now, had a change of expression. She was staring hard at this side.
Of course, she didn't want Ivy to survive.
"Here she is!!" Footsteps came from behind her and someone shouted.
Jennifer glanced back, then looked across the river again.
She wanted to see Ivy dead, how could she be caught at this time?
But there was only one way out of the beach, she could only jump into the water again.
But the feeling of almost drowning just now, she hadn't forgotten, so she didn't dare to jump into the water.
She had nowhere to run.
A crowd surrounded her, she tried to resist, but was quickly pushed to the ground.
Jennifer's gaze was still on the other side of the river.
She struggled, "Give me a little more time, I'll go with you, just..."
Jennifer's words were cut off.
Ivy, in her line of sight, suddenly shivered, and then coughed up water.
"No way!!" Jennifer screamed.
Ivy woke up, and was held tightly in her mother's arms.
"Let me go! Why! Why am I the only one who ends up like this!!!"
Her hand grabbed at the pebbles, scratching out streaks of blood.
On the other side of the river.
Rosalynn held Ivy tightly as she cried.
Her gaze fell on Jennifer across the river.
Jennifer felt that terrifying gaze.
She immediately stopped struggling, shivering, then was handcuffed and dragged away.
"Thank god..." Erica sat on the ground, breathing heavily.
Molly stood in place, head down in shame.
She had been vigilant all the time, but in that moment, just that moment...
