Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 619

Roman tried to calm himself down.

When he learned how to swim back then, he could hold his breath for up to four minutes! An ordinary person wouldn't be able to hold their breath for longer than two minutes.

He didn't think Hera could hold her breath longer than he could, so he purposely led her to the center of the lake where it was the deepest. This way, when she drowned, he wouldn't have anything to do with it.

Before they reached the center of the lake, Roman realized that he was almost at his limit. But Hera didn't seem like she would let go of him anytime soon.

She forcefully pulled him underwater as if she wanted to drag him down to hell with her.

Panic engulfed Roman's heart. When he started to fret, he couldn't hold his breath any longer and choked on the water. Things took a turn for the worse for him after that.

As he struggled in the water, the sound of gurgling as he thrashed about could be heard even at the banks of the lake.

Linda stood at the bank with her phone in hand. She had been recording the whole thing ever since Hera started countering Roman's attacks.

As Linda recorded the scene, she ordered the other two bodyguards in the lake, "Roman's being dragged into the depths of the lake! Hurry up and save him!"

The bodyguards continued swimming in Hera and Roman's direction.

Realizing that Roman's struggles were weakening as time passed, Hera quickly pressed her hand against the side of his neck to get his pulse. Then, she shoved him in the direction of the bodyguards and quickly swam back to the shore.

"Do you know how dangerous it was just now? You wanted to kill Roman, didn't you!" Linda yelled the moment Hera reached the shore.

Paying Linda no mind, Hera wiped the water off her face and went over to Xavier to see how he was doing.

With timely CPR, he managed to cough up the water that was trapped in his lungs. Although he looked rather out of sorts, he gradually regained consciousness.

After taking his pulse, Hera decided that he was simply frightened. There was no threat to his health or life at the moment.

Gemma knelt on the ground beside him, her eyes swollen and red from crying. Seeing that he was finally awake, she muttered, "Thank you, Lord, for saving him."

By the time Xavier woke up, the bodyguards had already rescued Roman and were administering CPR on him.

Meanwhile, Linda started yelping anxiously. "Roman, tell me you're alright! You have to be alright!"
