Chapter 265: Asking For Help


    Ethan forbade Laney to reveal her true identity to J, so she responded quickly, "Oh, my name is


    Laney Garcia.I was on my way home from work.When I passed the bridge, I saw a truck crash against


    your car and plunge into the river.Ie from a family of fishermen, so I’m a good swimmer.I jumped


    into the river to save you."


    The youngdy had a slender physique.


    Her benign face and gentle aura gave J the assurance that she wouldn’t harm her...


    J’s heart swelled with gratitude.


    The fact that she had survived a disaster brought tears to her eyes.

    J held Laney’s hand and sobbed uncontrobly.


    "Miss Garcia, thank you for saving my life.I’m forever indebted to you."


    J remembered traversing the high bridge.It was cold, and the river was flowing fast.It was brave of


    Laney to dive into the river to save her, ignoring the danger.


    After all, she looked frail and delicate.


    "You’re wee." Laney tried withdrawing her hand, but J held her in a vice-like grip.Her skin


    prickled with goosebumps when she saw J’s eyes gleaming with gratitude.


    Laney cleared her throat and forced an awkward smile at her.


    "You dove from a high bridge into this treacherous river to save me — a stranger you’ve never met


    before.If not for you, I would have died today.Even friends and family may think twice before offering


    help, but you risked your own life to save me.By the way, my name is J Lind.I will properly express


    my gratitude once we get out of here."


    J couldn’t stop thanking Laney.


    The fact that the woman had saved her despite being a total stranger moved her.


    No one had bothered to offer J kindness, let alone save her life.She had always felt lonely and


    deste in this world.


    Laney’s face flushed with embarrassment.She bit her lip and looked away guiltily.


    After all, she was merely doing her job and didn’t deserve J’s praise and gratitude.


    It was winter, and the cold wind whipped them.


    They were shivering with cold.


    It was freezing, and the two were soaked in water.


    They had no ce to shelter from the cold.


    J sneezed three times in a row.She squatted on the sandbar; her nose had turned red.


    "Miss Lind, please hide in the grass or stand behind me.It’s cold here.I’m afraid you’ll fall ill."


    Laney walked up to J.She looked around worriedly and said, "We have to find a way to ask for help


    as soon as possible.It’s not even the coldest hour of the day, yet we are freezing.The temperature


    would drop to zero at around two in the morning.We are soaked, and I’m afraid we might freeze to


    death if we don’t leave this ce soon."


    Upon hearing that, J hurriedly took out her phone.


    The water had damaged her screen.


    Meanwhile, Laney’s phone was fully damaged, and she couldn’t even turn it on.


    She nced at J’s phone and said, "I think it might still work.Although the screen, is broken, you


    should be able to make a call."


    If J could get through to Ethan, things would get much easier.


    Laney knew the man who had hired her was very resourceful.


    If J asked him for help, he would arrive faster than the resources.


    After a moment’s thought, J immediately picked up her phone and called Ethan.
