Chapter 1014 - 1011: Drowning (2)
"Mmm—"She was completely submerged in the hot spring pool, already exhausted from the previous activity, not to mention, she was terribly afraid of water.
This hot spring pool was huge and quite deep, probably at least one and a half meters. Even though there was a platform nearby, he had carried her directly to the deepest part when they entered. At this moment, she felt it was no different from the ocean.
A fear that originated deep in her bones engulfed her entire body, reaching every limb and joint.
One second, two seconds...
Ten seconds, fifteen seconds...
She felt she was about to lose her breath, recalling a near-death experience she had a long time ago.
"Stop messing around." He paused while unbuttoning his shirt, glanced at where she had sunk, and said, "Babe, this isn’t a funny joke at all, get up."
His voice was a bit cold, mixed with magnetic allure.
From the moment she agreed to the consequences, he had planned to imprison her for a lifetime, regardless of whether the Bennett Clan agreed. In this world, as long as he didn’t want to, no one could take her away from him.
Even if she was to be the future leader of the Bennett Clan, the Bennett Organization did not have the capability to take her back from him.
"Babe..."
She didn’t respond.
Eva Nightingale was truly terrified of this feeling. Three years ago, that night ultimately left her with psychological trauma, and... because she didn’t recover properly postpartum, she was left with persistent issues, including frequent menstrual pain.
She knew she had a problem.
So, that night she drugged him, and then took ovulation medicine in advance. However, since it wasn’t her ovulation period, the chances were low. If she were to succeed, she would be eternally grateful.
"Cough..."
Eva coughed up a couple of mouthfuls of water, feeling life slipping away bit by bit.
She struggled a few times, suddenly grabbing a large hand, and then the man’s tall and strong body overwhelmed her. His big hand hooked around her slender waist, quickly pulling her close, his thin lips pressed against hers.
There was no hint of ambiguity.
It was purely to give her air, so that’s why he kissed her.
But she seemed to have stopped responding, motionless, his angry phoenix eyes clouding with danger, ’Little thing, if you dare to get into trouble, I’ll kill you.’
Even if the entire Eastern Europe...
"Cough—" Eva coughed again, and was immediately pulled out of the water by him.
She was laid flat on the ground.
Lucas Knight looked at her pale face, feeling an unusual sense of urgency. Damn it, confining her was supposed to be a punishment for her, so why was he so anxious now that she was drowning?!
Thinking about this, he hesitated not a moment before leaning in to kiss her, his large hand pressing on her chest to perform CPR.
It was the first time he had ever performed CPR on someone.
Her condition seemed very serious.
But his CPR was done very well.
After what seemed like an eternity, Eva coughed again, spitting water onto him.
She opened her eyes, only to find him pressing above her... moreover, his large hand was still covering her chest. She was stupefied for a moment, was she not dead?
"Are you okay?"
He leaned in, picking her up, and for some reason, his voice was unexpectedly tender, as if caring, "Is there anywhere uncomfortable?"
It was Eva’s first time being held by a man like this, especially since he wasn’t wearing any clothes, his chest bare. This feeling was somewhat strange.
She shook her head, "No."
Perhaps she hadn’t yet emerged from the earlier fear, her tone lacked the usual mischief.
