All around was river water, the feeling of suffocation was unbearable.
Cecilia Vaughn's eyes were blurred by the water, her vision… gradually scattered…
Was that person… Adrian?
There was moonlight reflecting on the waves, flickering in and out, and the figure wading through the water was so hazy, almost like a surreal dream.
The mocking voices of the crowd had faded, only that figure kept approaching, becoming clearer and clearer.
Adrian…
Cecilia Vaughn blinked with difficulty, trying to see more clearly.
...
Until that tall, god-like body forcefully embraced her.
The touch of the man's body was so distinct that Cecilia Vaughn even felt she could smell that familiar cool bamboo fragrance amidst the salty river water.
Instinctively, she hugged him back.
"Cecilia, don't be afraid…"
The man mouthed silently in the water, then his arm forcefully supported her delicate waist, swimming upwards vigorously.
