Chapter 440


    It is just that I have no chance to repay your kindness in this life... I''m sorry, Toby!


    In her heart, Sonia silently spoke to Toby.


    The descent was quick, and in just a few seconds, they had fallen to the bottom of the cliff.


    However, to Sonia, it was like a century had passed. Just as she took a deep breath, ready to meet


    the moment of her bones shattering into a million pieces, she and Toby unexpectedly did not fall on


    the hard ground but into a deep bottomlesske instead.


    There was a loud ssh as the two of them fell heavily into theke, and the water sshed up at


    least a few feet high. Sonia immediately opened her eyes as the coldke water seeped into her


    eyes, ears, and nose, making it an ufortable situation. But more than that, she felt excitement


    and great joy. She tore off the tape on her mouth and smiled with her mouth closed. I didn''t die!


    I survived!


    Originally, she thought that falling off the cliff meant certain death.


    Thank God! This is such a one-in-a-million miracle! I mean, honestly, who’d have expected ake at


    the bottom of a cliff?


    Sonia was so happy that she was about to cry, but just as she was about to bite the rope off her


    hand with her mouth, she suddenly thought of something, and her heart''s excitement and ecstasy


    disappeared. Where is Toby?


    At that thought, Sonia had a change in expression. Just when she and Toby fell into theke, Toby’s


    hand, which had been holding her, had let go.


    Thus, she concluded that he should be nearby, looking around to find him. However, her brows


    furrowed when she didn’t see him anywhere.


    Strange, there is no one here. Could it be that he had already swum ashore? That’s not impossible.


    Thinking of this, Sonia sighed with relief.


    It was good if he went ashore first. Besides, she also had to find a way to save herself. She lowered


    her head and bit the rope, trying to release herself from it. This process was extraordinarily difficult


    for Sonia because the time for her to hold her breath in the water was limited. For an average


    person with professional swimming training, it couldst almost two minutes. So, she had to untie


    the rope and swim to the surface to breathe within two minutes, or she would drown otherwise.


    It was a good thing that when Den''s people tied her up, they didn''t use tooplicated knots.


    Sonia pulled the knot hard while still being careful not to put too much pressure on her own throat.


    Yes! Finally, she untied the rope on her wrist, so without dy, she tried to reach her feet.


    With her hands, the ropes on her feet were untied within ten seconds. She thought that she had


    Den''s people to thank for not tying her with hemp rope. Otherwise, the rope would have swollen


    with water and be tighter, and it


    would have been impossible to untie it within two minutes.


    With her arms and legs finally free, Sonia was delighted, and then she immediately paddled her


    arms and swung her feet to swim upward. A few secondster, she emerged from the surface and


    then exhaled loudly. I’ve finallye back to life!


    Shedding tears of joy, Sonia then shouted toward the shore, "Toby, are you there?"


    However, there was no response from the shore.


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    Sonia''s smile disappeared as she moved in the water and swept her nce around the shore but


    failed to see Toby. At once, a bad feeling rose in her heart. If Toby was not on the shore, could it be


    that he never made it ashore? Then right now, he would be...


    Sonia''s pupils constricted. Not daring to continue to think, she immediately dove into the water after


    taking a deep breath and swam downward. When she was in the water before, she just looked


    around and did not look down, so this time she looked down and finally saw Toby. Toby''s eyes were


    closed at the moment, and he was floating near the bottom of theke as if he was already dead.


    Seeing this, Sonia felt her heart tighten, and she subconsciously opened her mouth. "To—"


    Gurgle.


    After choking on water, Sonia hurriedly closed her mouth, adjusted her breathing, and then swam


    quickly to Toby. Holding his arm, she took him up to the surface. When Toby let go of her, he had


    fainted and sunk to the bottom of theke. Now that a few minutes had passed, she didn’t dare to


    think about his condition at all. The possibility that he could have drowned scared her to the bones,


    and thus, her only choice was to save him as fast as possible.


    Hurry up, hurry up! You can do it! You can do it!


    Sonia tried to motivate herself in her heart. The difficulty of swimming with a person, especially an


    unconscious person, was hellish. She felt like she was going to lose her strength and couldn''t make


    it, but she still refused to give up on Toby. Even though she felt like her legs were going to cramp,


    she was still gritting her teeth and swimming toward the shore. In any case, she had to bring Toby to


    shore, because on the cliff just now, Toby also did not give up on her.


    "Toby, hold on a little more. The shore is near. I believe you are still alive, and you are not dead. As


    long as you are not dead, I will be able to save you, so hold on!" Sonia looked at the shore not far


    ahead and spoke while gasping for breath as she continued to swim forward.


    Finally, they arrived at the shore. Sonia held Toby''s armpits and dragged him to the shore, then


    hurriedly sat down on her knees and checked his condition. The moment she felt that Toby was not


    breathing and had no heartbeat, her heart almost stopped.


    Toby has no vital signs? Is he really dead? No, it can''t be, it can''t be!


    Sonia did not want to believe this fact and hurriedly folded her hands together. Putting her hands on


    Toby''s chest, she began to give him first aid chestpressions. After severalpressions, she


    lay down again and put her ear to his heart to hear if he had any heartbeat. After not hearing any,


    she continued to press a few times. Then, she pinched his nose, lifted his jaw, and gave him mouth-


    to-mouth resuscitation. After that, she alternated between that and chestpressions.


    Two minutes passed, but Toby still did not respond. Sonia could not hold back any longer, and biting


    her lower lip, she began crying. Her voice choked as she said, "Toby, hurry up ande back alive.


    Do you hear me? Hurry up ande back alive. I am not dead, so how can you, someone who is


    randomly involved in this matter, die!"


    Her tears fell, and one drop fell directly on Toby''s eyelid. With that, Toby''s eyshes trembled, and


    his eyes moved a little. Although it was not obvious, Sonia still caught it. Her eyes instantly opened


    wide, and she began trembling with excitement. He''se back to life!


    "Toby!" Sonia stopped her movements and gently removed her hands away from his chest. Then,


    she stared at him with bated breath. Was he about to wake up?


    "Pfft!" Toby did not wake up but suddenly spat out a few mouthfuls ofke water and then coughed


    violently. When he coughed, his body shuddered a few times. Sonia hurriedly lifted his upper body


    up and let him lean in her arms and then raised her hand to pat his back with some force so that he


    would vomit some more and spit out all the water.


    "Cough, cough, cough..." Coughing for a while, Toby finally opened his eyes after spitting out more


    water. However, he was frail, and his face was pale and bloodless. His eyes were only half opened


    as he looked at Sonia and tried to speak.


    "Sonia...”


    "Great, you’ve finallye back to life."


    Filled with tears of joy, Sonia did not think much before hugging Toby. "Do you know that you had no


    heartbeat and breathingjust now? You scared me to death. I thought you had really just died and


    could note back to life..."
