Chapter 1759
'You go first."
The two of them were only thinking for one another.
'You go first, darling," urged Anthony. "Don't worry about me."
Charmine was closer to the shattered window, anyway.
To this, Charmine did not refuse again as she quickly climbed out. When she got out, however, a stinging pain jolted her, seemingly coming from her feet.
She pressed her lips into a tight line and acted normally, keeping herself afloat as she looked at Anthony.
Anthony was halfway out through the window, about to slither out when Charmine spotted a sharp piece of broken glass stuck on the window. Seeing that he was about to cross over, she quickly plucked it out and tossed it away.
His leg crossed the window right after she removed the shard.
Charmine mentally sighed in relief.
Anthony got out of the car. Upon noticing Charmine was safe and sound, he was just as relieved, too.
As they both floated in seawater, they exchanged glances and understood what they were thinking of.
Anthony held her hand and led her upward, toward the surface, and Charmine felt nothing short of safe with him.
Anthony used one hand to drag the weight of two adults up to the surface, and it proved to be a difficult feat.
However, he did not let go of her hand even if he used up his entire strength. He continued to swim upward.
After a while, the two of them finally made it toward the more shallow part of the sea. As water sloshed about, they floated to the sea surface.
The crowd at the shore cheered and applauded upon noticing both Charmine and Anthony making their way up safely.
Far away, Waverly saw Anthony and Charmine coming back up to the surface. She jolted upright on her chair, unable to register the sight into her mind.
D*mn it!
How could they have made it out, and so quickly at that?
How could they escape so easily from underwater?!
She clenched her wine glass angrily, so furious that—
Thuck! The heel of the wine glass snapped.
