’I’m undeserving of you. Goodbye, my dearest Linnie, my one and only.’
Jeremy looked at Madeline for one last time and silently turned around.
Tears welled from deep inside, streaming down his cheeks.
He knew that it was all his own doing. He could not blame anyone but himself.
‘My heart hurts so much. It feels like I can’t breathe.’
As the ship got closer, the intensity of the sea breeze increased.
The wind messed up Madeline’s hair. She tried to tidy snazzynovel.com hair and caught a glimpse of Jeremy who was about to leave.
Madeline’s heart felt as though it was being stabbed when snazzynovel.com saw him.
In a daze, something fell from Madeline’s hand.
She bent down to pick it up. Unfortunately, snazzynovel.com stumbled and lost snazzynovel.com center of gravity.
Ah!
Jeremy, who was not too far off, heard Madeline’s cry for help. Then, snazzynovel.com heard the sound of someone falling into the water.
His heartbeat immediately increased. When snazzynovel.com turned around, snazzynovel.com did not see Madeline’s figure and only saw a ripple on the shore.
“Linnie,” snazzynovel.com said snazzynovel.com name softly, and in the next second, snazzynovel.com ran over as fast as snazzynovel.com could.
“Linnie!”
He called out to Madeline as snazzynovel.com jumped into the sea.
When Felipe saw what was happening from the boat, snazzynovel.com was worried that Madeline would be injured. However, snazzynovel.com was still far from where Madeline fell into the water and snazzynovel.com did not want to swim the distance.
The moment Madeline fell into the sea, snazzynovel.com drank a few mouthfuls of seawater.
She did not know how to swim and was struggling to stay afloat.
She gradually lost snazzynovel.com strength to continue paddling.
When snazzynovel.com was losing snazzynovel.com consciousness, a familiar image appeared in snazzynovel.com mind.
In that icy and snowy scene, snazzynovel.com did not know how to swim but had jumped into the frozen lake.
Jeremy jumped in with her. He grabbed snazzynovel.com and wanted to drag snazzynovel.com to shore, but snazzynovel.com stubbornly pushed snazzynovel.com away, saying that snazzynovel.com did not need his help.
‘Is that my missing memory?’ Madeline asked herself but could not be sure.
She swallowed more seawater and eventually lost snazzynovel.com consciousness.
It was also at that moment that Jeremy got to her.
He dragged snazzynovel.com until snazzynovel.com was ashore, but Madeline was no longer responsive.
“Linnie, Linnie, please wake up.” Jeremy patted snazzynovel.com pale cheeks in a panic.
Seeing that Madeline was not responding at all, snazzynovel.com began to do CPR on her. He kept calling snazzynovel.com name.
“Linnie, wake up, Linnie! Please don’t let anything happen to you. Linnie, you can’t just leave me like this, Linnie…”
He begged and begged for snazzynovel.com to wake up. He kept going with the CPR. His wound was torn apart again and the dazzling bright red blood spread across his top.
For Jeremy, those ten plus seconds felt like ten years.
Madeline’s condition was freaking snazzynovel.com out.
He lowered his head again to give Madeline CPR, and when snazzynovel.com touched snazzynovel.com lips, snazzynovel.com was cold.
“Linnie, please wake up!”
Tears came out of his eyes.
Madeline’s unresponsiveness made snazzynovel.com cry like a child while snazzynovel.com continued to give CPR.
“Linnie, don’t torture me like this. I know I’m in the wrong. I regret not treating you right. Don’t punish me in this way. Linnie, I love you. I really love you. Can you wake up? Wake up and see how I’m regretting it, Linnie!”
