Chapter 468
Elizabeth took a couple of steps forward and peered down. She quickly spotted Esme flailing in the sea.
Esme raised her hand, looking towards the cruise ship, struggling non-stop.
Alexander's eyes widened in shock.
He rushed to the railing.
Esme had actually been pushed overboard.
The girl next to her grinned brightly, her goal achieved.
Alexander frowned, quickly shrugged off his suit jacket, and dove in after her.
Elizabeth watched as Alexander jumped in without a second thought, gripping the railing tightly with both hands.
She had once risked her life to save Alexander too.
Alexander was swimming towards Esme.
Elizabeth was so focused that she didn't notice the danger creeping up on her.
The girl standing beside her slowly approached.
As Alexander got closer to Esme, a cold voice came from beside Elizabeth, "Elizabeth, this is all fake. The one who truly deserves to die is you."
Elizabeth turned her head, but before she could react, the girl shoved her hard on the shoulder.
The railing was low, not even waist-high, so a gentle push was enough to make her fall.
Elizabeth reached out to grab something, but she was already in mid-air.
Another scream echoed from the deck.
"Hurry! Get the rescue team!" Everyone shouted anxiously.
Alexander was about to reach Esme when he saw a familiar figure plunge into the sea.
He looked back at the cruise ship but didn't see Elizabeth at the railing.
A group of people leaned over the railing, shouting, "Ms. Percy!"
Ms. Percy?
Elizabeth?
Alexander immediately looked in the opposite direction.
Elizabeth took a deep breath, feeling herself being swallowed by the seawater. She couldn't breathe.
Images of sinking to the bottom of the sea flashed wildly in her mind.
Elizabeth felt herself sinking.
Waves slapped her face, making her body sway.
Alexander frowned and quickly swam towards Elizabeth.
Esme's voice came from behind, "Alexander!"
Elizabeth raised one hand, pinched her nose with the other, and breathed through her mouth. "Help."
She tried to stay calm. But she was drifting further away from the ship.
"Help!" Elizabeth kept calling for help.
"Alexander, save me!" Esme's voice also echoed in Alexander's ears.
Alexander looked at the two people on either side of him, once again torn.
Esme was very close to him and he could definitely save her.
But what about Elizabeth?
Elizabeth caught a glimpse of Alexander.
Alexander's body gradually tilted towards Esme.
Elizabeth knew she shouldn't pin her hopes on Alexander. But she seemed to have no choice.
She wanted to live.
If she died, how heartbroken her family would be.
Lila had repeatedly told her to be careful, and Felix was following in a small boat, but she still had an accident.
"Alexander, please save me." Esme's cries were too pitiful. "I can't hold on."
Esme really couldn't hold on.
Her body was visibly sinking.
Alexander couldn't think too much, quickly swam towards Esme, and pulled her up.
Esme took a deep breath, hugged Alexander tightly, and cried uncontrollably, "Alexander. I was so scared."
In her struggles, Elizabeth saw Alexander holding Esme.
She was too far from Alexander.
Even if he came over, he would be exhausted in the deep sea.
"Alexander." Elizabeth called his name softly.
In the vast waves, Alexander clearly heard Elizabeth calling him.
