Chapter 191 How Could I Not Care About You?
Jackson, who looked a bit haggard, appeared even more calm and composed.
Although Lillian had been watching Jackson for many years and was now determined to get over him, her heart would still throb every time she saw him.
Lillian attributed such a crush to the normal reaction to being bewitched by his pretty face.
Just as she was about to force herself to look away, she suddenly heard a splash.
Lillian was startled when she noticed that Lyra was heading towards the pool.
Did Lyra accidentally fall into the water? Lillian was about to rush towards the pool, but Peggy appeared suddenly and held her back.
"Mrs. Lillian Frane, calm down. Mrs. Lyra Frane doesn't want you to go out."
At that moment, a cry from Lyra echoed from the poolside.
"Quick! Help! Save me!"
Jackson had also heard it,
When Lillian turned her head to look towards the pool again, Jackson had already rushed over and pulled Lyra.
He asked, "Lyra, what's going on?"
Lyra said nervously, "Lilian! Lilian got drunk and fell in. What should we do? Jackson!"
Lyra's face was full of panic, her body swaying. Instantly, Jackson had already jumped into the pool, and Lyra could only see a back.
From her slightly elevated position, Lillian could see the scene by the pool perfectly, and she watched it in disbelief.
Then, Lyra turned around and waved towards the emerging Lillian, gesturing for her to hide.
Lillian remained silent.
Lyra said she wanted to show her, but Lillian didn't understand how she was supposed to prove it.
Now she knew.
"Only Mrs. Lyra Frane can deceive Mr. Frane." Peggy pulled Lillian over to hide as she said.
Lillian was speechless for a moment, "Lyra is really ..."
"Mrs. Lillian Frane, hide. Don't be found." Peggy saw Jackson emerge from the water in the pool and pulled Lillian down hurriedly.
Through a gap, Lillian could still vaguely see the scene by the pool.
It was clear that Jackson hadn't found anyone yet. As soon as he surfaced, Lyra pointed to the other side of the pool.
Lyra cried as she said, "Jackson, over there! Look over there. Lilian! I shouldn't have let you drink! Why haven't you found her yet, Jackson? Lillian, if anything happens to you, I'll be heartbroken."
It might be Lyra's best performance in her life. Every time Jackson emerged from the water, she would cry out in distress.
Lillian helplessly watched as Lyra tricked Jackson. As she saw Jackson dive into the water over and over again, her expression became complex and serene.
It was early winter now, and the pool water was freezing cold.
Jackson hadn't done any warm-up exercises before plunging into the water, and he had even forgotten to take off his coat.
Lillian frowned and couldn't bear to watch any longer, so she shook off Peggy and hurried towards the pool.
"Lilian, didn't I tell you to hide? Why did you come out? Go hide. I'll punish him for you!" Seeing Lillian approaching, Lyra was not pleased.
Lillian grabbed Lyra's hand and said, "Lyra, I saw everything! Hurry and get Jackson out. What if he gets cramps?"
"Are you worried? You are the most soft-hearted person in the Frane family!"
Lyra helplessly tapped Lillian's forehead and then said, "Did you all hear that? Look at how much Lillian cares for you. Hurry up and come up."
Lillian's back stiffened slightly. She turned to look and saw that Jackson had swum over at some point, gazing at her intently from the water.
Their eyes met, and as Jackson supported himself on the edge of the pool, jumping out of the water like a swift and fierce beast appearing from the depths of a cold and dark pool.
Jackson got drenched all over. Water streamed down his hair and cheeks, his heavy coat clinging to him, dripping cold water.
His handsome face darkened, and he looked quite cold. His eyes were calm and indifferent as he stared directly at Lillian.
Lillian felt a chill down her spine as he gazed at her, her shoulders shivering.
