Chapter 907

    Lizetta''s face was a mask of panic, her voice shaky.


    She cursed herself inwardly for wearing a pencil skirt under her coat today-a garment not exactly made for running.


    In that moment, she realized just how instinctively she trusted and relied on Remington.


    "Don''t worry, I''m here."


    Remington''s deep voice resonated beside her.


    In the next instant, his reassuring hand patted her shoulder before he was off like a shot towards the pool.


    Lizetta felt a wave of calm wash over her, enough to steady her wobbly legs.


    But just as Remington reached the pool''s edge, there was another loud ssh. Cassius had jumped from the third floor right after him.


    By the time Lizetta made it to the poolside, Cassius had already reached the bottom, pulling Ynda to the surface.


    Remington was in the water too, swimming swiftly towards them.


    Seeing this, Lizetta felt a little more at ease and refrained from diving in herself.


    "How is she?"


    Remington swam over, asking.


    "She''s okay."


    Cassius looked slightly pale but seemed otherwise alright, showing no signs of exhaustion or injury.


    However, Ynda, whom he was holding, was clearly unconscious.


    Ynda''s robe hade undone, and seeing that Cassius was managing, Remington turned back towards the pool''s edge.


    Lizetta was already there, anxiously waiting, her coat ready in hand.


    As soon as Cassius brought Ynda to the side, Lizetta quickly wrapped her in


    the coat, cradling her and checking her over.


    "Yoli? Yoli!"


    Lizetta gently tapped Ynda''s


    noting her paleplexion and closed eyes, with no


    response nee


    She


    urgentlyid her down to perform chestpressions.


    Luckily, she had been saved just in time, and Ynda soon turned her head, coughing up water.


    Cassius, panting at the pool''s edge, finally rxed, relief washing over his previously tense, anxious eyes.


    "Remi, get Yoli inside quickly."


    Lizetta looked up, and Remington bent down to lift Ynda, carrying her into the vi.


    Cassius took a moment to catch his breath before climbing out of the pool.


    Barely had he steadied himself when he was met with a sharp p.


    The sound echoed loudly.


    Lizetta''s expression was icy. "What did you do to Yoli to push her to such an extent? She''s broken up with you. Can''t you just let her go?"


    "I didn''t-"


    Cassius''s cheek stung, his head turned from the impact. His brow furrowed, eyes shing with anger as he red at Lizetta.


    But before he could utter a word in his defense, Lizetta had already spun on her heel and hurried into the vi.


    Cassius''s fists clenched, his expression darkening as he followed her inside.


    Half an hourter, a private doctor arrived to give a still-unconscious Ynda a thorough check-up.


    "Doctor, how is she?" Lizetta asked anxiously, holding Ynda''s hand.


    "Nothing serious, you don''t need to worry too much," the doctor replied, packing up his medical bag.


    Lizetta''s brow furrowed with disbelief. "Nothing serious? What do you mean? Yoli''s out cold. Doesn''t she need any treatment?"


    The doctor''s nonchnt attitude puzzled her.


    "There''s no significant injury. She''s not exactly unconscious, just deeply asleep from drinking too much. Goodness knows how much she had. She''ll wake up once she''s slept it off. If you''re worried, you could give her some aspirin for the hangover."


    Lizetta was momentarily speechless.


    She nced at Ynda, whoy there under the covers, silent and still. She didn''t know whether to be relieved or to wake her up and give her a piece of her mind.


    What a scare she gave them all.
