Chapter 1560


    The water was already at Nicole''s neck by then. She attempted to kick the door open, but she just


    could not do it. Seeing that, she had no other choice but to stick her face close to the roof of the car


    and draw a few deep breaths as she waited for herst chance.


    And when she noticed that her earpiece would soon be submerged in water, Nicole murmured, "Jared,


    I''ll see youter.”


    "Definitely!" Jared nodded as he heard the sound of water rushing in.


    Jared could only imagine what Nicole was going through. However, the only thing he could do now was


    to floor the pedal. Yet, that would not be able to get him next to her in time.


    With the entire car being filled with water by now, Nicole took a deep breath and dived into the water,


    and at the veryst second, she managed to throw the door open.


    Then, she immediately began to swim to the surface of the water with all her might.


    The car sunk to the bottom shortly after, but Nicole tried her best to escape the water with just the one


    breath that she had drawn in the car anyway.


    However, the speed at which she was swimming upward was way slower than the speed in which the


    car had fallen.


    One stroke became two, two became thirty, and thirty became forty. Her lungs were running out of


    oxygen, but all she could do was keep swimming.


    However, no matter how much she swam, she just could not get out of the water, even though she


    could see the light shining through the surface.


    Then, as she felt herself being asphyxiated, she let out a cough. As soon as she did so, she choked,


    though she continued to hold her breath. At this rate, she might really die of drowning. Her range of


    motion began to decrease, and so did the speed at which she was rising.


    After a few second, she realized that she could hold it in anymore. She opened her mouth, and that


    was when she choked again.


    This time, however, she gave in, and just like that, water rushed into her lungs, causing her to feel as if


    they were burning as she began to sink.


    With that, her vision began to be blurry.


    All she could see was a ray of light beaming down onto her.


    This is it...


    And sadly, this could really be it for her, but what about Jared? She swore that she would keep herself


    safe. They had also promised each other that they would never live alone if either of them died.


    Nicole struggled for onest time as her consciousness began to fade, but the surface was simply too


    far away.


    Her vision slowly became dark.


    ‘‘Jared. JTn afraid that I''d have to break my promise...’’


    Suddenly, Nicole heard someone jumping into the water with a ssh. She forced herself to lift her


    head up and that was when she saw a figure swimming toward her. However, she could not see that


    person''s face at all.


    She felt a familiarrge hand reaching out and grabbing her arm right before she was about to


    sumb to the water. Then, her world around her turned dark, and she lost consciousness.


    As expected, the bridge and the shore were crowded with people.


    "A car just fell into the water!”


    "I saw a man jumping into the water too!"


    “Hey! The man is right there! He has someone in his arms too!”


    The crowd was chattering and yelling about.


    N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.


    "Mr. Johnston, the doctor''s here!” One of his bodyguards rushed forward.


    They had called an ambnce right after Nicole had fallen into the water and had already arranged for


    a team to take a speedboat over to Nicole. However, Jared had arrived at the highway much earlier


    and had dived into the water first.


    It was a long jump, and so, the impact must have been great. Yet, Jared still took it in stride and saved


    Nicole.


    Jared was drenched in water, but he would still not let go of her. He took her to the shore and ced


    her on a soft mat.


    "CPR!" The doctor quickly went to Nicole''s aid.


    Jared could only watch from a side. Nicole''s face had turnedpletely white, and she had already


    stopped breathing.


    Jared had never seen Nicole in such a state before.


    "Save her now! If not, you''re all going to die with her!" Jared screeched.


    Everyone there knew who Jared was. If they could not save thisdy, they would all have to shut their


    hospitals down.
