Chapter 215
Chris wanted to confess his feelings to Silvia at first, but he did not want to trouble her any further.
“Forget it. Let it be.” He thought..
As he was about to pull his clothes out of Silvia’s grip, they heard the sound of a helicopter from above.
They both looked up and saw a helicopter hovering right over them.
The next moment, the door opened, and a person in a life jacket slowly descended with a rescue harness.
Neil was just a few meters above the water when he saw both of them. He had a grim expression on his face.
Silvia was shocked the moment she realized that it was Neil, and she felt an indescribable mix of emotions.
He should be in Ryoln City.
Did he somehow learn about the heavy rain in Greenvale? Did he deliberately fly there to find her as a result?
The thought sent her heart racing. Something long–buried in her heart seemed to surface. Neil stopped close to them. Then, he threw the rescue harness to Silvia and sternly instructed, “Put it on.”
However, she passed it to Chris and said, “You should go up
first.‘
Before Chris could reply, Neil snapped. “Silvia Pond!”
She turned to him and explained, “Chris can’t swim.”
He turned his cold gaze to Chris.
“Hurry up!”
Chris wanted to refuse, but Silvia quickly secured the rescue harness around him.
Neil held the rescue harness on Chris’s b*dy and signaled the people on the helicopter to begin pulling him up.
Five minutes later, Chris was safely rescued.
“Thank you.
Neil remained cold. “I didn’t come here to search for you. I came to rescue Silvia. Saving you was a mere coincidence.”
He slowly descended again until he was roughly a dozen meters above the water. He was about to toss the rescue harness to Silvia, when he spotted something in the distance. His expression suddenly changed.
He cut the rope with a dagger from his bag and jumped straight into the water.
Silvia was momentarily stunned. Before she could figure out the reason behind his actions, she noticed that the water current was getting stronger.
She turned to see a massive wave heading her
way.
In the next second, Neil grabbed her wrist. He pulled her away, and they swam with the
current.
However, the massive wave was too fast, and it engulfed them both.
When Chris saw this from the helicopter, his heart clenched with overwhelming panic and guilt.
“Silvia!”
He wanted to leap out of the helicopter, but Curtis stopped him.
“Are you out of your mind?! You’ll die if you jump now!”
The pilot closed the door following Curtis’s request, and the entire cabin fell into an eerie silence.
Curtis immediately called for help. “Mr. Remus has been swept away by a massive wave. Send a rescue team right away!”
Chris sat in shock like a lifeless statue.
Soon, news of Silvia and Neil being carried away by the massive wave spread to Ten Miles Village.
Eve and Joe’s faces turned pale when they heard about it.
Joe had a regretful expression as he said, “If only I had stopped Miss Pond when she left, she wouldn’t have gotten in this accident.”
Eva sighed. “She’s our boss, and we’re only allowed to follow her orders. How could we have interfered with her decisions?”
With Joe remaining silent, she said, “I’m going to get some fresh air.”
The rain had gradually subsided. Eva found a quiet spot and called someone using a spare. phone.
“Boss, Silvia has been swept away in the flood. It’s unlikely that she’ll survive.”
