This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr

Strange, there is no one here. Could it be that he had already swum ashore? That’s not impossible.

Thinking of this, Sonia sighed with relief. It was good if he went ashore first. Besides, she also had to find

a way to save herself. She lowered her head and bit the rope, trying to release herself from it. This

process was extraordinarily difficult for Sonia because the time for her to hold her breath in the water was

limited. For an average person with professional swimming training, it could last almost two minutes. So,

she had to untie the rope and swim to the surface to breathe within two minutes, or she would drown

otherwise.

It was a good thing that when Declan’s people tied her up, they didn’t use too complicated knots. Sonia

pulled the knot hard while still being careful not to put too much pressure on her own throat. Yes! Finally,

she untied the rope on her wrist, so without delay, she tried to reach her feet.

With her hands, the ropes on her feet were untied within ten seconds. She thought that she had Declan’s

people to thank for not tying her with hemp rope. Otherwise, the rope would have swollen with water and

become tighter, and it would have been impossible to untie it within two minutes.

With her arms and legs finally free, Sonia was delighted, and then she immediately paddled her arms

and swung her feet to swim upward. A few seconds later, she emerged from the surface and then

exhaled loudly. I’ve finally come back to life!

Shedding tears of joy, Sonia then shouted toward the shore, “Toby, are you there?”

However, there was no response from the shore.

Sonia’s smile disappeared as she moved in the water and swept her glance around the shore but failed

to see Toby. At once, a bad feeling rose in her heart. If Toby was not on the shore, could it be that he

never made it ashore? Then right now, he would be…

Sonia’s pupils constricted. Not daring to continue to think, she immediately dove into the water after

taking a deep breath and swam downward. When she was in the water before, she just looked around

and did not look down, so this time she looked down and finally saw Toby. Toby’s eyes were closed at the

moment, and he was floating near the bottom of the lake as if he was already dead.

Seeing this, Sonia felt her heart tighten, and she subconsciously opened her mouth. “To—”

Gurgle.

After choking on water, Sonia hurriedly closed her mouth, adjusted her breathing, and then swam quickly

to Toby. Holding his arm, she took him up to the surface. When Toby let go of her, he had fainted and

sunk to the bottom of the lake. Now that a few minutes had passed, she didn’t dare to think about his

condition at all. The possibility that he could have drowned scared her to the bones, and thus, her only

choice was to save him as fast as possible.

Hurry up, hurry up! You can do it! You can do it!

Sonia tried to motivate herself in her heart. The difficulty of swimming with a person, especially an

unconscious person, was hellish. She felt like she was going to lose her strength and couldn’t make it,

but she still refused to give up on Toby. Even though she felt like her legs were going to cramp, she was

still gritting her teeth and swimming toward the shore. In any case, she had to bring Toby to shore,

because on the cliff just now, Toby also did not give up on her.

“Toby, hold on a little more. The shore is near. I believe you are still alive, and you are not dead. As long

as you are not dead, I will be able to save you, so hold on!” Sonia looked at the shore not far ahead and

spoke while gasping for breath as she continued to swim forward.

Finally, they arrived at the shore. Sonia held Toby’s armpits and dragged him to the shore, then hurriedly

sat down on her knees and checked his condition. The moment she felt that Toby was not breathing and

had no heartbeat, her heart almost stopped.

Toby has no vital signs? Is he really dead? No, it can’t be, it can’t be!

Sonia did not want to believe this fact and hurriedly folded her hands together. Putting her hands on

Toby’s chest, she began to give him first aid chest compressions. After several compressions, she lay

down again and put her ear to his heart to hear if he had any heartbeat. After not hearing any, she

continued to press a few times. Then, she pinched his nose, lifted his jaw, and gave him mouth-to-mouth

resuscitation. After that, she alternated between that and chest compressions.

Two minutes passed, but Toby still did not respond. Sonia could not hold back any longer, and biting her

lower lip, she began crying. Her voice choked as she said, “Toby, hurry up and come back alive. Do you

hear me? Hurry up and come back alive. I am not dead, so how can you, someone who is randomly

involved in this matter, die!”

Her tears fell, and one drop fell directly on Toby’s eyelid. With that, Toby’s eyelashes trembled, and his

eyes moved a little. Although it was not obvious, Sonia still caught it. Her eyes instantly opened wide,

and she began trembling with excitement. He’s come back to life!

“Toby!” Sonia stopped her movements and gently removed her hands away from his chest. Then, she

stared at him with bated breath. Was he about to wake up?

“Pfft!” Toby did not wake up but suddenly spat out a few mouthfuls of lake water and then coughed

violently. When he coughed, his body shuddered a few times. Sonia hurriedly lifted his upper body up

and let him lean in her arms and then raised her hand to pat his back with some force so that he would

vomit some more and spit out all the water.

“Cough, cough, cough…” Coughing for a while, Toby finally opened his eyes after spitting out more

water. However, he was frail, and his face was pale and bloodless. His eyes were only half opened as he

looked at Sonia and tried to speak. “Sonia…”

“Great, you’ve finally come back to life.”

Filled with tears of joy, Sonia did not think much before hugging Toby. “Do you know that you had no

heartbeat and breathing just now? You scared me to death. I thought you had really just died and could

not come back to life…”a
