Surrounded by water.
The water flooded her ears and throat.
Chloe Summers' biggest weakness was not knowing how to swim.
Yet now, she found herself in the sea, salty water rushing into her lungs.
The early spring sea was bitterly cold, and her heart was slowly corroded by the fear of suffocation.
The ship deck was crowded with people.
The party tonight was mainly for the young masters and misses.
Although there were only twenty or so individuals, their combined worth was enough to support a significant part of P City.
But, there was always someone better, like the Harper Group.
The sea surface was currently rough with waves, and a few seconds later, it turned into a torrential downpour.
Two individuals trapped in the sea were struggling relentlessly!
"Help..."
"Help..."
Their cries for help were barely hearable in the heavy rain.
Suddenly, a tall, dark figure rushed out of the crowd.
He saw the two struggling in the sea, and his handsome face was filled with anxiety.
Without hesitation, not even taking time to take off his uniform, he jumped into the icy sea.
The heavy rain blurred his vision, and he struggled hard to eventually save one person.
"Keira, Keira, wake up..."
He was panting, not caring about his current predicament, anxiously calling out to the unconscious woman in his arms.
But he completely forgot that there was still another person in the sea.
Suddenly, an anxious female voice shouted from the crowd,
"Where's Chloe? Wasn't she invited out by Keira Summers?! Where is she?!"
"Right! Chloe... Chloe fell too!"
Someone shouted in panic, causing everyone on deck to gasp!
Lightning in the distance, accompanied by the rumble of thunder seemed to tear apart the entire night sky and the dark sea.
Everyone looked towards the turbulent sea, but could not see any struggling figures.
The woman who just mentioned Chloe and Keira fell into the water together suddenly burst into tears,
"Chloe can't swim!!!"
The man holding Keira suddenly stiffened.
Yes, he did see Chloe when he was in the sea.
However, just as the woman's cries had subsided, in that very instant, a sound of "thud" was heard, and another person jumped down.
