Chapter 1039
At that moment, there was a sudden commotion on the water's surface. Charlotte's head emerged first, followed by Chicago, whom she had flipped over to face upwards. Jessie, who was still gripping Chicago's clothes and dragging Chicago, desperately swam towards a small shallow area not far from Fiona.
Meanwhile, the police officers searching nearby sounded the police car's alarm and sped towards them.
Upon seeing Chicago, Fiona immediately wanted to wade through the water to help Charlotte.
"You go to the shallow area to meet them; I'm a good swimmer; I'll go!" Stella stopped Fiona. Then she took off the ring Alexander had given her, stuffed it into her pocket, and immediately entered the water.
Fortunately, this part of the riverbank was quite large, and the current was not as strong as before.
Stella quickly swam to Charlotte, and she took Chicago and swiftly swam toward the shallow area.
Fiona was extremely anxious.
Stella carried the lifeless Chicago ashore, and Fiona immediately took over, starting emergency measures.
Stella knelt beside them, praying incessantly, tears streaming down her face.
Jessie was already exhausted, lacking even the strength to get ashore, and it was Charlotte who had pulled her up. She lay beside Chicago, looking at her, occasionally nudging her small hand with her nose.
On the opposite bank, Abigail, who had been laughing wildly just moments ago, now stared intently at the scene. She certainly did not want Chicago to survive.
"She is here!" At that moment, footsteps approached from behind, and someone shouted.
Abigail glanced back, then looked towards the opposite bank. She couldn't be taken away without seeing Chicago dead with her own eyes. But there was only one exit from the riverbank. Either she jumped back into the water, but the suffocating feeling of nearly drowning still lingered in her mind, and she didn't dare, or she had nowhere to hide.
As people surrounded her, she tried to resist but was quickly subdued and pinned to the ground.
Abigail's gaze remained fixed on the opposite bank, struggling desperately.
"Give me a little more time, I'll go with you, just a little more..." Abigail's words were cut off. In her line of sight, Chicago suddenly shuddered and then coughed.
"Impossible!!" Abigail screamed hoarsely.
Chicago had awakened and was being held tightly in Fiona's arms.
"Let me go! Why! Why am I the only one who ends up miserable!" She grabbed at the stones, leaving bloody scratches.
On the opposite bank, Fiona held the crying Chicago tightly. Her gaze crossed the river, landing coldly and murderously on Abigail.
Abigail, meeting that terrifying gaze, immediately stopped struggling, shrank back, and was quickly handcuffed and dragged away.
"You scared me to death," Stella said, sitting on the ground, breathing heavily.
Charlotte stood there, head bowed in shame. She had been vigilant but had let her guard down for just one second.
