NovelEnglishCarlos, if you jump down to save her now… you…marry her.” Debbie didn’t dare to spit out the phrase “we divorce.”
“You trying to pissoff?” He flung his coat to one side and grabbed hold of her wrist, pulling her closer to the edge.
“Then we go down together!”
He was determined to teach her a lesson. Otherwise, he was afraid she might kick Megan off a skyscraper next time.
Before Debbie got what he meant, he had dragged her down to the river with him…
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEverything happened in a split second. Jared was completely taken aback, his jaw dropped. There were six people who had chere, and four of them had jumped down to save one woman. What in the world was going on?
The icy-cold water pierced Debbie to her bone, but that was not why she was cold. It was not her body, so much as her heart. She struggled to break Carlos’ forceful grip on her wrist. In a muffled and weak voice, she said sadly, “Carlos, I’m so cold. It’s not my body… but my heart…”
After spitting out a mouthful of water, she tried to speak again.
“You said… you had my back…no matter what. But now, wig snatched!”
As Debbie kept surfacing and sinking, her words were lost in the flurry of activity.
“Dammit…this is how you backup?
Carlos, did you Lie? Do you really love me?” Her voice trailed off. She felt drained of energy and didn’t want to swim anymore. The cold water closed around her throat, suffocating her, which brought back the horrible memory of her sinking into the river last time. All of a sudden, she felt like she was drowning in an ocean of fear and loneliness. Why was Carlos choosing Megan over her? Didn’t she have a claim to him, too?
Carlos had initially wanted to swim toward Megan, but now regretted having done such an impulsive thing. Debbie looked like she’d lost the will to do anything.
He immediately approached Debbie, wrapped his arm around her waist and swam towards the bank.
After getting Debbie onto dry ground, he quickly took off her wet clothes and wrapped her in his overcoat. At the stime, he ordered
Jared, “Turn on the heater in the car!”
Snapping back to his senses, Jared rushed towards his car, started the engine and turned the heater on high. He hoped that the heat rushing through the vent could warm up the pair. This was getting too weird. It was just supposed to be a prank they played on Megan.

At the hospital
With a dark face, Carlos leaned against the wall of the corridor, deep in thought. Curtis and Damon soon arrived there in a rush.
“What’s going on? Is Megan okay?” Curtis asked, confused.
Carlos Looked at him. A single word left his lips.
“Debbie.”
Curtis was more confused. He ventured a guess.
“Did Debbie push Megan into the river?”
