Chapter 214


    “Don’t worry. He’ll be safe. Alright, be a good girl and head back. That way, you’ll be able to ask the


    others to help us.”


    After Autumn left, Silvia plunged back into the water.


    It did not take long before she spotted Chris underwater.


    She quickly swam over and managed to bring him to the surface. However, she realized they were far


    fromnd, and she did not have enough stamina to swim back with him.


    She noticed that the roof of Autumn’s house was nearby and still above water. Without hesitation, she


    swam toward it with Chris in tow.


    Once they reached it, sheid him t on the roof and began to perform CPR.


    Some timeter, Chris coughed up some water and gradually regained consciousness.


    When he saw her, a hint of disbelief flickered in his eyes. He thought that he was hallucinating and


    instinctively reached out to touch her face.


    Silvia was caught off guard by his sudden action. She did not move her head away in time as she was


    momentarily stunned.


    When Chris felt the warmth of her skin, he realized that he was not dreaming. He quickl withdrew his


    hand in a panic.


    “I’m sorry. I thought I was seeing things.”


    Silvia did not mind it. She nodded and said, “No worries. You should rest for now.


    She stood up and scanned their surroundings. The roof was the only dry spot in an area of several


    hundred meters.


    If Silvia was alone, she might be able to swim back. Having Chris with her, she would probably run out


    of energy halfway,


    As Chris stood up and looked around, he instinctively frowned when he saw the situation.


    “You shouldn’t havee back to save me.”


    He was d, but he cared more about her safety.


    Silvia turned to him and asked, “If I was drowning, would you do nothing and leave?”


    “No.”


    “I won’t just stand by either.”


    The water continued to rise, and it soon reached their ankles.


    The heavy rain also showed no signs of stopping. Chris knew that staying there was the same as


    waiting for a disaster.


    He turned to Silvia. “Can you swim back on your own?”


    She was about to speak when the roof beneath their feet suddenly disappeared.


    Autumn’s house was old andcking maintenance. After being submerged in water for some


    time, it copsed.


    Silvia quickly grabbed onto Chris to prevent the rushing water from separating them.

    “Silvia, please let go of me. I’m just making things more difficult for you.”


    Chris wanted to push her hand away as she held on to his clothes, but she snapped. “Don’t move!”


    He froze and sighed with a bitter smile. “At this rate, both of us will die.”


    She frowned and coldly said, “Don’t worry. If I truly reach my limit, I’ll give up on saving you.


    You don’t have to tell me twice.”


    Although she thought of Chris as a friend, her life was still her top priority.


    “I don’t want to trouble you.”


    Silvia did not respond and slowly swam towardnd with him.


    However, they were just about ten meters away fromnd when a huge wave suddenly pushed them


    seven to eight meters back.


    Even so, Silvia continued swimming.


    Chris was anxious. He had never hated himself so much for not being able to swim. If he knew how to


    swim, he would not be a burden to her.


    As Silvia’s strength gradually waned, her movements slowed. Besides, the relentless waves further


    impeded their progress. After half an hour of struggling, they were only halfway there. Chris noticed


    their slow progress. He pondered in silence and finally made a difficult decision.


    He held her hand and began to pry her fingers loose.


    Her expression changed. “Chris, what are you doing?!”


    With a gentle smile, he slowly replied, “Silvia, that’s enough. Thank you.”
