Keira opened her eyes in shock and saw Keera’s face, rendered excessively pale by pain.
The two couldn’t speak in the water.
Yet, there was a resolute expression in Keera’s fragile look.
It was only at this moment that Keira finally realized Keera had swum up earlier to catch her breath!
After grabbing her, Keera continued to swim upward!
But Keera was somewhat weak.
After swimming for a while, she realized that she
simply couldn’t reach the surface while dragging Keira
with her…

Her sister had turned back for her, and that was
already enough!
She struggled to wave her hands in the water, signaling
to Keera.
I save,
Get yourself up!”
However, Keera shook her head and pointed upward

with her maimed hand. “If we leave, we leave together!”
Keira’s eyes reddened slightly.
She wanted to gesture something more, but she had already exhausted all her strength helping both of
them escape from the ship, so she could only watch as Keera stubbornly pulled her hand, bit by bit,
toward
the surface of the water…
“Ssh!”
Both of their heads emerged.
Keira gasped for air, but she felt heavy, as though she was still sinking.
She was slipping in and out of consciousness.
All she could see around her was water, boundless and endless, and she couldn’t see the shore
anywhere as she bobbed up and down in the water.
She managed to discern that this must be the sea near Oceanion, only they were already very, very far
away…
In her daze, she saw Keera drag her steadily to the
side.

The weakness brought on by anemia, along with the feeling of total exhaustion, made everything
before Keira darken as if her vision was blurring.
It sounded like there was water in her ears too, and

there was nothing but a buzzing noise…
“Keira, how are you holding up? Keep it together! You can’t let anything happen to you!”
Keera’s voice faintly flitted in and out of her ears.
“Keira, don’t die, it’s all my fault! I shouldn’t havee
to see you… I brought those people…”
Keera sobbed, her heavy breathing was right beside
Keira’s ear.
“You can’t die! I can’t let you die!”
eira could feel Keera’s strength waning. As she sank into the water again only to be pushed up by
Keera, Keira heard her voice. “Keira, look, there’s a nk of wood over there. We might be saved!”
Keira couldn’t see the nk clearly.
Her vision was darkening.
Thest shred of reason kept her consciousness clear.

She felt herself being pushed onto a wooden nk in the water by Keera, time and again…
She wanted to tell her not to worry about her anymore, for Keera to climb up herself, as she could feel
that Keera had no strength left!
But she didn’t have the strength to open her mouth.
She wanted to push Keera away, but couldn’t even muster the energy to lift her fingers…
Keera never gave up.
Again and again, she pushed her onto the wooden nk, which kept slipping away from underneath
her…
Not knowing how long it took, Keira only felt as if it had been a long as a century, yet it also seemed

g her head to the side, she could see the joy on a’s face. She wanted to reach out to pull Keera up but
she was utterly immobile.
With a sigh of relief, Keera appeared to let go, but she no longer had the strength to climb un herself.
A hint of sorrow shed in her eyes.
“Take good care of little Amy…”
Leaving behind only these words, Keera suddenly sank.
Keira wanted to save her, but she couldn’t muster any strength at all!
Sister!
She watched helplessly as Keera sank below the water’s surface. Inside, she was struggling, raging,
wanting to do something, but what met her was a vast expanse of darkness:
A drop of tear rolled down her cheek.
Floating on the surface of the water, unable to
eplenish her iron levels in time, she would be greeted y shock and death.
Keira’s eyes snapped open.
Just a second ago, she had been floating on the water, but now she found herself lying on a soft,rge
bed.
It seemed like only the blink of an eye had passed
between then and now.
Only…
Keira frowned as she looked around the room.
The room had a pastoral feel to it, with a bedspread of small, scattered flowers, and it was bright. When
she turned her head, however, she saw a little girl lying
next to her.
The girl seemed to sense something and slowly opened her eyes.
Upon seeing Keira, the little one burst into tears.
“Mommy, Mommy, you’re awake! You’re not dead! You didn’t abandon Amy!”
Amy…
Keira was htly taken aback; wasn’t this Keera’s daug

came back, trotting with a s of water in hand, which she offered to Keira.
Mommy, drink some water. If you drink water, does that mean you won’t leave Amy?”

The child’s voice weighed heavily on Keira’s heart.
She moved her fingers and found she had regained some strength; she slowly sat up, surveying her
surroundings.
Was this… Keera’s home?
Was she being mistaken for Keera?
She asked, “Amy, how long have I… been asleep?” Little Amy answered, “Mommy, you’ve been asleep
for two days. You were found in the swimming pool. You almost died. A kind uncle took you to the
hospital. Daddy said you wouldn’t die. He told you toe home…”
Keira frowned.

looked down at her hand and noticed the mark of an IV injection.
After moving her body, she felt strength returning, indicating someone had indeed replenished her iron
in
time!
Suddenly, Keira recalled that after being pushed onto the nk by Keera, she seemed to have seen a
boat approaching…
Since she was rescued, then surely Keera was rescued as well, right?
She looked around, trying to find her phone to call Oceanion…
Before she could locate her phone, the door was pushed open, and a man in his mid-twenties strode
in.
He had a somewhat feminine appearance and looked at Keira with eyes full of mockery and disdain.
Amy hid behind Keira and whispered softly, “Daddy.”
This man was Keera’s husband?

then said, “Mommy is sick. Uncle said she needs rest well. Daddy, can we not let Mommy go out?”
The man scoffed. “She isn’t dead yet, is she?”
Then, looking outside, he called, “Mom,e here and help her pack some clothes!”
Following his words, a middle-aged woman walked in grumbling, “Such bad luck. Why do I have to
pack for her? Can’t she do it herself?”
This was Keera’s mother-inw.
She turned directly to the man. “Howard, you spoil her too much!”
The man named Howardughed. “Mom, we’re in a hurry, right? Let’s not dy our departure!”
Howard’s mother frowned. “Where are we rushing off to so urgently?”
oward smiled. “I just heard about something. It’s said that the head of the Horton family in Oceanion,
Lewis Horton’s wife, has died. We’re going to attend her funeral. It’ll be a good opportunity to meet
some influential people!”
Upon hearing this, Keira’s pupils contracted sharply!
She looked at Howard in disbelief, asking
subconsciously. “Who did you sav?!”
