Chapter 361
Tiffany's hand was held tightly by her. The moment Melody fell, she could not stabilize herself due to the huge inertia.
The next second, she was also dragged down. The two of them fell from the cruise ship and fell from the high deck into the cold river.
Plop- There were two splashes, one after the other.
Thalia walked out of the inner cabin and happened to see this scene. Her eyes instantly widened in shock as she shouted at the top of her lungs, "Tiffany!"
Her entire body was trembling. Without even thinking, she threw away the satchel in her hand and pounced on the deck, wanting to jump down and save her daughter! However, in the river, there was a long distance between Tiffany and Melody. This meant that if she jumped down to save Tiffany, she would not be able to care Melody. On the other hand, if she chose to save Melody, Tiffany would be in danger.
Thalia hesitated. She felt like her scalp was about to explode. For a moment, she did not know how to make a choice. Melody, who was struggling in the water, looked at her hopefully. "Mom, save me... Save me..."
She had only called for help a few times before she choked on a few mouthfuls of water. Then, her body kept sinking Thalia did not hesitate anymore and jumped down. The person she chose to save was Melody.
The river water rose and fell, and drowning people could not find any life-saving straws.
Tiffany was not far away. The river water gradually drowned her head.
Before she sank to the bottom of the river, she saw Thalia swimming toward Melody in a panic.
It was the mother's greatest explosive power. She was not strong, but she had unlimited potential. In the end, she successfully swam to the shore with Melody.
Because she was saved, Melody raised her head and looked in Tiffany's direction. Her smile was dazzling and smug.
Then, she mouthed, "Actually, I can swim."
Isn't it ridiculous?' Tiffany choked on water as she looked at the mother and daughter who were getting further and further away from her. All Thalia's worries and anxiety were not for her.
At this moment, Tiffany finally understood what Melody's words meant before Melody dragged her down to the deek. "Also, I'll tell you another cruel truth. If we're all in danger, will your family, whom you're risking your life to protect, save you or me?" The answer to that question was already there, and this answer was indeed cruel.
Tiffany smiled bitterly. The river water was so cold, but it could not withstand the chill in her heart...
On the cruise ship, a waiter finally realized that someone had fallen into the water.
He immediately shouted at the top of his lungs. The other security guards immediately rushed out and jumped into the river, saving the exhausted Thalia and Melody.
Hearing the sound of someone falling into the water, the other guests were also attracted over.
The security guard squatted down and asked, "Madam, Miss, are you alright?"
"I'm fine..." Looking at the unharmed Melody, Thalia heaved a sigh of relief.
The next second, she seemed to have suddenly thought of something. Her expression changed drastically as she shouted sharply, "Tiffany, quick! Tiffany is still in the water!" She struggled to her feet and flung herself toward the edge of the deck.
However, the river water had already calmed down. There was no sign of Tiffany anymore.
Thalia instantly fell to the floor. Her face was completely pale, and her lips, which had turned blue from the cold, were trembling slightly.
The security guard said, "When we came over, we only saw the two of you. Did anyone else fall into the water? I'm afraid... she's doomed." "No!" Thalia grabbed the security guard's hand like a madman and begged hoarsely, "Save my daughter. She doesn't know how to swim!"
'Oh my god, what have I done?' Thalia was furious. The next second, she spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
The scene became chaotic again.
"Mom!" Melody rushed over and sobbed worriedly. However, from an angle that no one could see, a smile appeared on her face/Serves you right! Let that bitch Tiffany drown to death!'
Just as she was feeling smug, she heard the sound of someone falling into the water and what the security guard said before he could stop the person. "Mr. Harper, Mr. Harper, it's dangerous. Please don't..."
Water splashed everywhere. Kenneth jumped down without hesitation.
Charlie heard the news and rushed over. He saw Thalia in a coma with emergency medical staff beside her. As for Tiffany... she had sunk into the water and her whereabouts were unknown.
Although it was said that her whereabouts were unknown, the river was actually so deep. To put it bluntly, Tiffany would definitely die.
Upon hearing this news, Eric cried toward the river, "Tiffany! Tiffany, where are you?" If not for the people beside him pulling him, he would have jumped down.
The security guards on the cruise ship had already arranged for a life raft and security guards with good aquatic abilities to go into the water to save Tiffany, but the hope was slim. Moreover, with such a long drowning time, even if they found her, there was no way to turn the situation around..
Charlie's mind went blank. He slumped to the floor. The originally elegant middle-aged man seemed to have aged ten years in an instant.
Everyone's eyes were filled with sympathy. Such a joyous occasion unexpectedly ended up like this.
*****
In the river, Tiffany's mind was in a mess.
She could feel her consciousness being stripped away. She was holding her breath and was about to explode.
The water was deep and dark. All four sides were like the gaping mouth of a wild beast. Nothing could be seen clearly or sensed.
Sat, Nov
She tried to struggle, tried to levitate herself, but it all ended in filure.

Tiffany's consciousness was blurry and she could no longer muster any strength. Finally, she slowly closed her eyes.
However, she did not know if it was an illusion, but at the last moment before she died, she actually saw an extremely fast figure rushing toward her.
The man hugged her and kissed her on the lips.
In her semi-conscious state, Tiffany greedily absorbed the oxygen provided by him. Her body was rising extremely quickly. Finally, with a whoosh, the two of them broke out of the water. "Ahem..." Tiffany coughed violently and breathed heavily to obtain new oxygen.
After a long time, she looked up. In front of her was that handsome face that she could never get tired of looking at.
The man had sharp eyebrows and starry eyes. His nose bridge was high and straight. His thin lips were pursed tightly, and a pair of eyes as deep as the sea locked onto her.
It was Richard whom she hadn't seen for a long time.
Tiffany was stunned. Suddenly, she felt a lump in her throat and threw herself into his arms.
"Boohoo, bastard, why are you only here now?" She cried profusely, her eyes as red as a rabbit's.
Richard's heart was about to melt from the pain. He carried her and got up, landing steadily on the shore.
Tiffany could not stop complaining. She said in a sobbing tone, "Didn't you say that you would be back in two days? Liar, big liar!"
"Be good, don't cry." Richard reached out to wipe her tears. His cold gaze was gentle and doting.
Tiffany gradually stopped crying.
However, he suddenly grabbed her chin. His eyes were burning with passion.
He looked into her eyes, refusing to miss any expression on her face. Then he opened his mouth and asked slowly, "Can you tell me the answer to the question I asked you before I left?"
