Chapter 1560
The water was already at Nicole's neck by then. She attempted to kick the door open, but she just could not do it.
Seeing that, she had no other choice but to stick her face close to the roof of the car and draw a few deep breaths
as she waited for her last chance.
And when she noticed that her earpiece would soon be submerged in water, Nicole murmured, "Jared, I'll see you
later."
"Definitely!" Jared nodded as he heard the sound of water rushing in.
Jared could only imagine what Nicole was going through. However, the only thing he could do now was to floor the
pedal. Yet, that would not be able to get him next to her in time.
With the entire car being filled with water by now, Nicole took a deep breath and dived into the water, and at the
very last second, she managed to throw the door open.
Then, she immediately began to swim to the surface of the water with all her might.
The car sunk to the bottom shortly after, but Nicole tried her best to escape the water with just the one breath that
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtshe had drawn in the car anyway.
However, the speed at which she was swimming upward was way slower than the speed in which the car had fallen.
One stroke became two, two became thirty, and thirty became forty. Her lungs were running out of oxygen, but all
she could do was keep swimming.
However, no matter how much she swam, she just could not get out of the water, even though she could see the
light shining through the surface.
Then, as she felt herself being asphyxiated, she let out a cough. As soon as she did so, she choked, though she
continued to hold her breath. At this rate, she might really die of drowning. Her range of motion began to decrease,
and so did the speed at which she was rising.
After a few second, she realized that she could hold it in anymore. She opened her mouth, and that was when she
choked again.
This time, however, she gave in, and just like that, water rushed into her lungs, causing her to feel as if they were
burning as she began to sink.
With that, her vision began to become blurry.
All she could see was a ray of light beaming down onto her.
'This is it...'
And sadly, this could really be it for her, but what about Jared? She swore that she would keep herself safe. They
had also promised each other that they would never live alone if either of them died.
Nicole struggled for one last time as her consciousness began to fade, but the surface was simply too far away.
Her vision slowly became dark.
'Jared. JTn afraid that I'd have to break my promise...'
Suddenly, Nicole heard someone jumping into the water with a splash. She forced herself to lift her head up and
that was when she saw a figure swimming toward her. However, she could not see that person's face at all.
She felt a familiar large hand reaching out and grabbing her arm right before she was about to succumb to the
water. Then, her world around her turned dark, and she lost consciousness.
As expected, the bridge and the shore were crowded with people.
"A car just fell into the water!"
"I saw a man jumping into the water too!"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Hey! The man is right there! He has someone in his arms too!"
The crowd was chattering and yelling about.
"Mr. Johnston, the doctor's here!" One of his bodyguards rushed forward.
They had called an ambulance right after Nicole had fallen into the water and had already arranged for a team to
take a speedboat over to Nicole. However, Jared had arrived at the highway much earlier and had dived into the
water first.
It was a long jump, and so, the impact must have been great. Yet, Jared still took it in stride and saved Nicole.
Jared was drenched in water, but he would still not let go of her. He took her to the shore and placed her on a soft
mat.
"CPR!" The doctor quickly went to Nicole's aid.
Jared could only watch from a side. Nicole's face had turned completely white, and she had already stopped
breathing.
Jared had never seen Nicole in such a state before.
"Save her now! If not, you're all going to die with her!" Jared screeched.
Everyone there knew who Jared was. If they could not save this lady, they would all have to shut their hospitals
down.
