Chapter 321 I Can Donate Blood
'What kind of crappy show is this? Is its sole purpose to torment people?' Natalie thought.
Rex had already picked up the diving gear from the speedboat and started putting it on by himself.
Natalie was in a daze. Rex looked at her and thought for a moment.
"Ms. Clark, do you want to dive yourself?"
There was no way to escape anyway.
Natalie forced a smile. "I can't swim."
Rex was silent for a good ten seconds, trying to process this fact.
Natalie, who was always praised by the professional super adventurer Felix, couldn't swim?
Natalie sat there, blinking, feeling very embarrassed.
Rex paused. "Then wait for me up here."
Natalie nodded solemnly.
Rex finished putting on his diving suit and plunged into the sea without even making a splash. Truly a super adventurer.
After three or four minutes, there was no movement at all. The sea surface was eerily calm.
Natalie started to get anxious, her heart pounding. Could something have happened to him?
Her thoughts were suddenly pulled back to three years ago.
Natalie was practicing swimming alone at the pool. The coach she had scheduled didn't show up, but a few menacing people did.
They had tattoos on their bodies. When they saw Natalie, they walked straight over.
Their gazes were cold and ruthless.
"You were the one who rescued that Lumerian soldier!"
Natalie instantly understood who they were. They were the thugs from the underground fight club, here to take revenge on her!
Although they had let her and Gabriel go at the time, how could one trust the character of terrorists?
Seeing her silence, one of the thugs yanked her hair viciously and, without a word, shoved her head into the water.
She struggled, resisted, and desperately tried to breathe.
But it was no use.
Another thug went underwater, grabbed her legs, and pulled her down with all his might, giving her no chance to fight back!
She was completely helpless, like a fish on a cutting board, at their mercy.
One minute passed. Then two minutes. Then seven.
She couldn't remember how much water she had swallowed, but she could feel her strength being drained away, her consciousness gradually becoming blurry.
Her heartbeat weakened, and the taunts and laughter of the thugs on shore faded to nothing.
It was as if she were wrapped in a cocoon that tightened around her, enveloping every inch of her body, forcing her to surrender to the suffocating stillness.
The water was frigid and dark. Submerged in it, her fear of death was inescapable.
Until she was completely still, with no strength left to fight for survival.
The two thugs let go, thinking she was dead, and left her floating face down in the water.
Natalie had never felt such bone-deep cold. The water seemed to have an endless pull, paralyzing her completely. Just as she was about to slip away from this world, someone desperately pulled her up.
Gabriel's hands were broad and strong. He gave her mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and chest compressions. She smelled his familiar scent.
It was Gabriel.
Tears fell uncontrollably. Gabriel had saved her once again.
How could she repay him this time?
She wanted to marry him.
In the hospital, she opened her eyes. The terrifying feeling of suffocation returned, and she shivered all over before suddenly sitting up.
She ran out and heard Gabriel's deep, worried voice.
"Do whatever it takes to save her!"
The doctor spoke hesitantly, "Ms. Davis has lost a lot of blood and has a very rare RH-negative blood type. Our hospital's blood bank is out."
Natalie blinked and, as if driven by some unseen force, walked out.
She said, "I can donate blood."
