Chapter 314

With the sound of drums, the boats shot forward like arrows, racing at full speed.

Onlookers at the shore were amazed by the spectacle, and everyone began cheering for their favorite boat team,

shouting words of encouragement.

Especially, they ran alongside the boats as they departed

Though Agnes’s group wasn’t large, they were still a good number of people.

They were caught in the middle of the crowd and had to follow the flow of people. All of Agnes’s attention was

captivated by the boat race.

Then, she heard a noise and someone shouting. “Someone fell into the water!”

Agnes looked towards the water and saw that it was Mariela.

People’s attention shifted because of the incident.

Everyone started to worry.

However, the embankment was quite high with no steps to get down, and the water level was shallow, making it

difficult for even skilled swimmers to get back up onto the shore.

Agnes felt extremely anxious

How could Manela have fallen into the water when she wasn’t even standing close to the water’s edge? She might

have been pushed down by the excited crowd.

Mariela struggled in the water, crying for help as she slowly sank, her voice echoing in desperation.

Agnes was beside herself with worry and grabbed Jared Whitfield’s arm, saying, “What do we do? Jared, you have

to go and save her.”

Agnes knew that Jared could swim, and he was an excellent swimmer at that.

The Whitfield family even had an outdoor swimming pool.

Agnes had once seen Jared swim, displaying a skill level comparable to that of a professional athlete.

However, Jared frowned and hesitated, not making any moves to jump in.

Agnes watched as Mariela continued to sink

And the people around them were merely pointing and talking but showed no intention of jumping in to help.

Unable to wait any longer, Agnes began taking off her shoes, preparing to jump in herself.

But before she could remove her shoes completely, Jared stopped her with a firm grip on her hand.

“What are you doing?” he asked.

“No matter what, I can’t just stand by. I can swim too, don’t worry,” Agnes insisted.

Jared’s face remained stern as he glanced at the water again.

Then he held onto Agnes and said, “Alright, you stay here. I’ll go and rescue her”

Agnes was grateful that Jared was willing to go.

But before he got into the water, he slowly took off his shoes and clothes, which made Agnes even more anxious.

In the water, Manela was still struggling, and it looked like she had only two hands left. If this continued, even if

Jared managed to save her, she might have already drowned

Finally, with a graceful dive, Jared jumped into the water.

Within a few minutes, he had pulled Mariela to safety, and a group of people helped to haul her ashore

By this time, Mariela had lost consciousness

Agnes was very worried

She urgently held onto Jared’s hand and pleaded, “Jared, save her, save her! What do we do now?”

Jared remained composed and asked the people around him, “Does anyone know CPR?”

Most of the people around were elderly villagers from Starfall Village, and they had no idea about CPR

Jared scanned the area and found a disheveled wanderer picking up cigarette butts by the river.

Jared handed him some money and said, “Please do me a favor. This money is your reward”

The wanderer’s eyes lit up when he saw so much money.

Jared taught him how to give Mariela CPR Jared taught it twice, and he went through it in great detail. The wanderer

was smart. He’s a quick learner

The wanderer followed Jared’s instructions.

Before long. Mariela regained consciousness.
