Tanner drove to the beach and saw a person standing under the lighthouse not far away.He braked the car abruptly, got out of the car, and dashed straight toward the lighthouse, not even bothering to answer the ringing phone.
"Pearl!"
Tanner ran towards the figure.
"Don’t—"
Pearl plunged into the ocean without hesitation, and the turbulent sea engulfed her whole.
The icy sea water blocked all sounds the moment she jumped into the sea, wrapping her sinking body.
An arm held onto her, and Tanner carried her upstream.
On the shore, he placed his hands one over the other, pressed them against her chest, and performed CPR.
The bone- piercing chill stiffened his entire body, but he did not dare to stop, not even for a moment.
"Pearl, please—"
Tanner’s arm muscles contracted and relaxed over and over again as he continued performing CPR.
"Please wake up!"
Several cars parked behind Tanner’s car, and Helios led his men out of the car.
One of the bodyguards pointed to the lighthouse.
"Over there!"
Everyone rushed straight to the lighthouse.
Helios saw what happened and got someone to call for an ambulance immediately.
"Mr.Hannigan, leave it to us."
A bodyguard was about to take over, but Tanner evaded.
"Get away!"
The bodyguard stood in place and looked at Helios in embarrassment, so Helios waved at him, motioning him to step back.
After a while, Pearl coughed and spat out water.
Tanner immediately picked her up, pushed the wet hair that was stuck to her cheeks with his palms, and exclaimed with a delighted expression on his face, "Pearl!"
Pearl’s body trembled due to the sheer coldness, and her lips turned paler by the second.
Seeing that she was shivering, the bodyguard took off his coat and handed it to Tanner.
And Tanner wrapped her body in the coat and held her in his arms so that his body temperature could warm her up.
When the ambulance arrived at the scene, the medics brought a stretcher down from the ambulance and carried Pearl onto the vehicle.
Tanner wanted to follow them into the ambulance, and Helios handed him his jacket before he could do so.
