In the midst of sudden and intense pain, Becca Reyes instinctively opened her mouth, but within a second, the seawater poured in, forcing out all of her remaining air. The panic of drowning surged within her in an instant.
What’s worse, her calf was spasming violently, as if the pain was about to rip through her muscles and bones. She desperately tried to swim upward to breathe fresh air, but could not. The water surface was just above her, seemingly an inch away, but even her furthest reaches could not touch it. Only a fatal asphyxiation and inescapable pain awaited her.
She didn’t know how long it had been, but when Becca Reyes thought she would actually die here, a pair of hands suddenly lifted her body. In her blurry vision, she seemed to see Flossie Wright’s slightly furrowed brows. Before she could process this, her body had already breached the surface. Fresh air entered her mouth and the life-giving aura hit her face.
But before she could express her relief, the water in her trachea suddenly made her cough violently, almost making her feel as if she was coughing up her lungs.

However, being inherently carefree and untroubled, Becca Reyes finally recovered, seeing a cold-looking Flossie Wright appearing in front of her. Disregarding the cramp in her leg, she jumped up as if she was crazy and hugging her, she emotionally exclaimed, "Darling, I think I’m really falling for you."
Looking at the mad woman clinging to her shoulder, Flossie Wright’s expression unintentionally darkened.
If she had been a bit slower, this woman might have really drowned. Just now, she was hacking away, but now, she has thrown herself at her, really a carefree one.
Lifting her hand and prying off Becca Reyes’s hands, Flossie Wright maintained a certain distance from her, reminding her in a bland tone, "Aren’t you having a cramp?"
"Oh ..." The joy of escaping from death immediately faded, and Becca Reyes finally realized her leg was still throbbing in pain. Her face twisted in agony and while stretching her leg with her hand, she queried Flossie Wright, "Where were you just now?"
Flossie Wright helplessly glanced at her a few times, then directly pulled her leg out of the water, professionally stretching and massaging it. Then she casually replied, "Breaking up a fight."
Breaking up a fight?
What fight?
Before Becca Reyes could ask these questions, she heard the nearby seawater churning, and then two figures emerged from the water. Droplets splashed in all directions, reflecting the morning light, especially eye-catching.
Enduring the gradually subsiding pain in her leg, Becca Reyes looked strangely at the two figures that suddenly appeared. Of course, she recognized Nathan Foster, but the one next to him was... Rowdy Brightwill?
For Becca Reyes, Rowdy Brightwill seemed to have appeared out of thin air. The unexpected appearance of this person emerging from the water under such circumstances inevitably puzzled her.
As soon as they surfaced, Nathan Foster and Rowdy Brightwill exchanged glances, and then turned their heads, clearly still at odds.
When they were engaged in underwater combat, they were in the heat of the battle. Just then, Flossie Wright appeared from somewhere, forcibly separating the two of them. For Nathan Foster, being pulled apart by a new recruit was utterly humiliating. For Rowdy Brightwill, being caught by his soon-to-be-wife Flossie Wright was equally embarrassing. Both of them had made a fool of themselves in front of Flossie Wright. So, wisely, they stopped their fight. They also ran out of oxygen and surfaced.
