Chapter 318


    Betty‘s POV: When Betty jumped down, my mother fainted. The emotional Hank wanted to jump down to


    save them but was stopped. They said that Hank couldn‘t swim, and jumping down would only make


    things more chaotic. “Betty, Anne...” I was extremely sad. Were the two living lives really going to


    disappear in front of me? And they were my family. At this moment, I only had one thought. I could swim.


    I wanted to save them. I was about to jump down when I reached the riverside, but a pair of hands


    stopped me. I turned around and saw Herbert standing behind me. “Let me do it,” said Herbert. Herbert


    was taking off his tie and shoes. I was very worried about him. “Do you know how to swim?” Herbert


    comforted me. “Don‘t worry. I‘m the school‘s swimming champion in college!” After that, he turned around


    and jumped into the river. “Herbert!” My hand grabbed the railing on the bridge and cried out in pain.


    Everyone was looking at Herbert, who was swimming hard in the river. Everyone seemed to be very


    nervous. No one said a word. They were all paying close attention to the man in the river who was


    searching for the mother and daughter who had just jumped in. Soon, Herbert rescued Anne. He held


    Anne with his strong arm and swam to the shore. At this time, everyone cheered. They all said that


    Herbert was a hero. Hank and I rushed to the shore, and some kind–hearted people had taken Anne


    from Herbert‘s arms. Although Anne‘s face was pale, she was still alive. She coughed twice and spat out


    a few mouthfuls of river water. Herbert nced at Anne, who should be fine. Then he turned around and


    swam to the middle of the river again. I patted Anne‘s back twice and then turned to look at Herbert, who


    was in the river. I shouted at his back, “Herbert, you muste back safely!” Although I was worried


    about Betty, I was also very worried about Herbert. But Betty jumped down on her own. I didn‘t want an


    ident to happen to Herbert because of the rescue. I didn‘t know if Herbert heard me. I could only pray


    in my heart: I hope Betty will be safe. I hope that my child‘s father wille back safely. About ten


    minutester, I finally saw Herbert swimming over from afar while pulling someone. Seeing that he had


    finally saved Betty, I was so excited that my eyes were full of tears.


    At this time, two ambnces arrived. My mother, who had fainted, and Anne were brought away by one


    of the ambnces. Another ambnce was waiting for the person who was about to be brought to the


    shore. Soon, Herbert pushed Betty to the shore. I looked at Betty, who was coughing, and knew that she


    should be fine. Then my eyes fell on Herbert. He frowned and his face was distorted. It could be seen


    that he was exhausted.


    The people on the shore wanted to pull him up, but suddenly, a wave came and pushed him back into


    the water. His body hovered in the water and half leaned in the water. Then, Herbert was no longer as


    rxed as he had been just now. He actually began to struggle in the river, Seeing this, I stepped into


    the river and shouted at Herbert, “Herbert,e on up,e to the shore!”


    However, at this moment, when Herbert looked at me, who was shouting at him, he only showed a pale


    smile. He shook his head, as if he had given up!


    “Help! Help him! He‘s in great danger.” “He doesn‘t have any strength left!”


    I shouted loudly.


    Herbert was pushed further and further away by the water, and gradually, I could only see his head. The


    people around shook their heads and said, “We have to be good at swimming before we can go to the


    river to save him. I think he is too tired and he has a cramp!”


    “This situation is very serious. He won‘t be able to swim because of his cramp.”

    Hearing the discussion of these people behind me I was extremely flustered.


    Panic washed over me like an endless tide.


    No! No, I couldn‘t allow anything to happen to Herbert. I couldn‘t live without him, nor could Lucas and


    Lucky live without a father! The next moment, I ran like crazy to the middle of the river. While running, I


    cried, “Herbert,e back!”


    Although I knew how to swim, I only swam in the indoor swimming pool before and didn‘t swim well.


    I didn‘t know what I was going to face.


    At this moment, there was only one thought in my mind. “Save Herbert, I have to save him...”
