Chapter 568 Has She Grown Weary of Living?
Chloe muttered “What a jinx” under her breath and quickly dove into the water to save Xavia. She
loathed the woman and even considered watching her drown without intervening, but her
conscience would not permit such an act.
The greatest distinction between good and evil lies in Chloe’s capacity to restrain her inner demons,
whereas thetter sumbed to greed and desire.
Little did Chloe anticipate that the moment she grasped Xavia''s arm and exerted all her might to pull
her up, she herself was forcefully yanked into the water. Water filled Chloe''s throat, but she
managed to maintain herposure. As she opened her eyes, Xavia was right before her. Xavia’s
hair drifted in the water, her pale face adorned with a sinister smile as she stared directly into
Chloe''s eyes.
It was an eerie and chilling sight, akin to a ghost from a horror film. A shiver ran down Chloe''s spine.
She had been deceived. Xavia knew how to swim and possessed considerable skills at that. Chloe
berated herself for her naivety and soft-heartedness.
Realizing the urgency of the situation, she promptly swam toward the pool edge. However, Xavia
submerged herself and took hold of Chloe''s foot, intentionally impeding her progress.
‘If my child suffers from intellectual disabilities because of this, this bitch will have to face my wrath!’
Chloe''s anxiety heightened, but her strength was waning. If the struggle persisted, her life would be
at risk. Xavia was seriously trying to kill her.
But she could not worry about that at the moment. She collected all her anger and kicked Xavia,
causing her to wince in pain and release her grip. Chloe resurfaced quickly, shouting desperately,
"Help! Help! I have no strength left! Save me!"
The lifeguards heard her cries and swiftly plunged into the water, swimming toward the two figures
locked in struggle. Another individual with a slender physique simultaneously plunged into the
water, swiftly swimming toward them.
The other patrons immediately fell silent, holding their breath and closely observing the unfolding
scene, anxious that it might escte into something serious.
"What''s happening? Is it a beginner?"
"Doesn''t seem like it. They aren’t in the shallow end."
"It appears that more than one person is in distress. Could it be two people?"
"What? Two people having idents at the same time? That''s absurd."
"I heard them arguing earlier. One of them was cursing the other''s swimming ability. Could it be
intentional?"
"Intentional? Murder? Don''t joke around."
The person immediately shut their mouth, recognizing that such remarks should not be made
thoughtlessly.
Chloe felt hands supporting her waist, guiding her toward the pool edge. She assumed it was a
lifeguard. Exhausted, she allowed the person to assist her.
“Do you want me to call you an ambnce?" The drenched young man draped a towel over her,
disying sincere concern in his tone.
Hearing his voice, Chloe raised her head, gazing at Noah in astonishment. "When did you get
here?"
"A little while ago. I noticed you struggling in the water, so I jumped in."
"But how did you know I was here?"
Noah smiled helplessly. "I called you to discuss our evening ns earlier. You mentioned the name
of the pool but you seemed upied. I assumed we were skipping dinner and going swimming
together."
It was then that Chloe remembered the conversation. Indeed, an employee had interrupted to report
some work issues, and she briefly mentioned the pool before ending the call.
"No… That came out all wrong. I meant that I’m going swimming before meeting you for dinner."
"I see." Noah shrugged nonchntly. "Shall we go for dinner now?"
"Sure." Chloe then paused, ncing around until her gazended on Xavia, who had also been
rescued and was tightly clutching a towel. "Wait here."
Noah already guessed what she intended to do, and his eyes turned cold. ‘How dare Xaviay her
hands on Coco. She just had the amniocentesis, and her brighter days are on the horizon now. Has
she grown weary of living?’This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
