Chapter 883 Please Don't Go After clocking out, Selena hopped into her car at 7 PM.
Ann was still playing chauffeur, driving her back to Ashbourne Manor.
Selena was beat today. Ever since John dropped that bombshell, she'd been on edge, trying hard to keep it together. When Ann turned onto a quiet road, she noticed the cars behind them were tailing them.
"Ms. Fair, those cars behind us..." Ann started, but before she could finish, those cars gunned it and cright at them. Ann freaked out and floored it, her face going pale.
But her driving skills were just meh, and she couldn't shake these maniacs.
Soon enough, three cars boxed them in.
Selena, sitting in the back, straightened up, her face icy. After a long pause, she asked, "Ann, how good are you at swimming?" Ann replied, "Just okay." Selena asked, "Can you handle yourself?" Ann nodded, "Yeah." Selena quickly said, "Drive into the river. Once we're in, don't worry about me. Save yourself first." "But, Ms. Fair..." Ann's hands were sweaty. Driving into the river seemed like a death wish.
Selena locked eyes with her, "Ann, if we wanna make it out alive, we gotta take this risk." Those cars were out for blood.

Ann shut her eyes and drove onto the bridge, smashing through the railing, and the car plunged into the river.
The big splash caught the attention of nearby drivers, and a bunch of cars stopped.
As soon as they hit the water, Ann rolled down the window and helped Selena with hers.
Selena tried to swim out, but when the car hit the water, a heavy folder smacked her head, making her dizzy. Combined with the overwhelming dizziness, she couldn't hold her breath for long. When the water rushed in, she lost her breath, gasping, and then felt a huge sense of suffocation.
Ann's swimming skills were just enough to save herself. She was swimming up but saw that Selena wasn't following. Without thinking, she quickly turned back.
Even if it cost her life, she couldn't let anything happen to Selena.
Just as she was about to turn back, a figure dropped from the surface and swam quickly towards the car.
Ann couldn't see the person's face clearly, but seeing how skillfully he swam, she knew going back would only slow things down, so she swam to the surface. Just as Selena was about to pass out, a pair of hands pulled her out.
She was so overwhelmed by the suffocation that she couldn't see his face.
She blacked out, feeling like her chest was about to burst from the water pressure. 'Is this it? Am I about to die?' The guy grabbed her by the waist, swam to the shore, and laid her down on the grass.
The bridge over the river was a madhouse, with cops, onlookers, and even reporters swarming the place.
Flashing lights were everywhere, and police were shouting through megaphones.
Sgood Samaritans jumped into the river to help, but where Selena was, it was eerily quiet.
The grass was tall, and there were no streetlights. The only light cfrom afar and the reflection of the lake at night.
Though dim, it was enough to see her face.
She lay on the grass, drenched, her face pale, and her lips almost white.
She thought she was a goner, the suffocation still lingering.

Selena spat out swater, coughed a few times, and then felt air being blown into her mouth.
The soft touch was so real, it seemed to pull her back to reality.
In her daze, she heard a man gently ask, "How could you be so careless? Are you feeling better?" Selena couldn't see clearly, just waking from severe hypoxia, her vision and mind blank.
Feeling the person about to leave, she quickly grabbed a corner of his clothes.
But the guy just let go of her, saying, "Someone's coming." Selena completely passed out.
Before she woke up, she smelled disinfectant and heard Raymond angrily grilling the doctor, "Didn't you Ε say she'd wake up soon? Why is she still out cold? Are you a quack?" The doctor explained, "Mr. Montague, Ms. Fair suffered severe hypoxia. She might need a bit more time." Raymond snapped, "If she dies, this hospital is done for!" The doctor was stunned, "Mr. Montague, please calm down."
How could Raymond calm down? His heart was still numb. Especially when he saw the car's license plate omthe live news, and when he arrived at the scene, people were still salvaging. He almost lost it. He searched the river several times but couldn't find Selena. Finally, he found her in the tall grass nearby. The immense joy of finding her overwhelmed his heart.
He would never be mad at her again, as long as she woke up.
As he was thinking this, he saw Selena open her eyes.
Her head hurt like hell, and she saw Raymond nervously clutching the bed, as if afraid she would vanish into thin air. She frowned, "Did you save me?" Raymond instantly raised his eyebrows proudly, "Who else do you think it was?"
