Chapter 319


    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?” Herbertforted 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.


    Ipatted 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…”Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org.
