My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire! - Chapter 250
Swap
Keira opened her eyes in shock and saw Keera’s face, rendered excessively pale by pain.
….
The two couldn’t speak in the water.
Yet, there was a resolute expression in Keera’s fragile look.
It was only at this moment that Keira finally realized Keera had swum up earlier to catch her breath!
After grabbing her, Keera continued to swim upward!
But Keera was somewhat weak.
After swimming for a while, she realized that she simply couldn’t reach the surface while dragging Keira with her…
Seeing this, Keira smiled at her.
Her sister had turned back for her, and that was already enough.
She struggled to wave her hands in the water, signaling to Keera. “Don’t save me. Get yourself up!”
However, Keera shook her head and pointed upward with her maimed hand. “If we leave, we leave together!”
Keira’s eyes reddened slightly.
She wanted to gesture something more, but she had already exhausted all her strength helping both of them escape from the ship, so she could only watch as Keera stubbornly pulled her hand, bit by bit, toward the surface of the water…
“Splash!”
Both of their heads emerged.
Keira gasped for air, but she felt heavy, as though she was still sinking.
She was slipping in and out of consciousness.
All she could see around her was water, boundless and endless, and she couldn’t see the shore anywhere as she bobbed up and down in the water.
She managed to discern that this must be the sea near Oceanion, only they were already very, very far away…
In her daze, she saw Keera drag her steadily to the side.
The weakness brought on by anemia, along with the feeling of total exhaustion, made everything before Keira darken as if her vision was blurring.
It sounded like there was water in her ears too, and there was nothing but a buzzing noise…
“Keira, how are you holding up? Keep it together! You can’t let anything happen to you!”
Keera’s voice faintly flitted in and out of her ears.
“Keira, don’t die, it’s all my fault! I shouldn’t have come to see you… I brought those people…”
Keera sobbed, her heavy breathing was right beside Keira’s ear.
“You can’t die! I can’t let you die!”
Keira could feel Keera’s strength waning. As she sank into the water again only to be pushed up by Keera, Keira heard her voice. “Keira, look, there’s a plank of wood over there. We might be saved!”
Keira couldn’t see the plank clearly.
Her vision was darkening.
The last shred of reason kept her consciousness clear.
She felt herself being pushed onto a wooden plank in the water by Keera, time and again…
She wanted to tell her not to worry about her anymore, for Keera to climb up herself, as she could feel that Keera had no strength left!
But she didn’t have the strength to open her mouth.
She wanted to push Keera away, but couldn’t even muster the energy to lift her fingers…
Keera never gave up.
Again and again, she pushed her onto the wooden plank, which kept slipping away from underneath her…
Not knowing how long it took, Keira only felt as if it had been as long as a century, yet it also seemed like only a few seconds had passed…
Finally, Keera managed to get her onto the wooden plank, floating on the surface of the water.
Turning her head to the side, she could see the joy on Keera’s face. She wanted to reach out to pull Keera up too, but she was utterly immobile.
With a sigh of relief, Keera appeared to let go, but she no longer had the strength to climb up herself.
A hint of sorrow flashed in her eyes.
“Take good care of little Amy…”
Leaving behind only these words, Keera suddenly sank.
Keira wanted to save her, but she couldn’t muster any strength at all!
Sister!
She watched helplessly as Keera sank below the water’s surface. Inside, she was struggling, raging, wanting to do something, but what met her was a vast expanse of darkness.
A drop of tear rolled down her cheek.
Floating on the surface of the water, unable to eplenish her iron levels in time, she would be greeted y shock and death.
Keira’s eyes snapped open.
Just a second ago, she had been floating on the water, but now she found herself lying on a soft, large bed.
It seemed like only the blink of an eye had passed between then and now.
Only…
Keira frowned as she looked around the room.
The room had a pastoral feel to it, with a bedspread of small, scattered flowers, and it was bright. When she turned her head, however, she saw a little girl lying next to her.
The girl seemed to sense something and slowly opened her eyes.
Upon seeing Keira, the little one burst into tears.
“Mommy, Mommy, you’re awake! You’re not dead! You didn’t abandon Amy!”
Amy…
Keira was htly taken aback; wasn’t this Keera’s daug
as still stunned, the little one had already out of bed and, barefoot, ran into the living After a while, she came back, trotting with a s of water in hand, which she offered to Keira.
Mommy, drink some water. If you drink water, does that mean you won’t leave Amy?”
The child’s voice weighed heavily on Keira’s heart.
She moved her fingers and found she had regained some strength; she slowly sat up, surveying her surroundings.
Was this… Keera’s home?
Was she being mistaken for Keera?
She asked, “Amy, how long have I… been asleep?” Little Amy answered, “Mommy, you’ve been asleep for two days. You were found in the swimming pool. You almost died. A kind uncle took you to the hospital. Daddy said you wouldn’t die. He told you to come home…”
Keira frowned.g pool? ncle….
looked down at her hand and noticed the mark of an IV injection.
After moving her body, she felt strength returning, indicating someone had indeed replenished her iron in time!
Suddenly, Keira recalled that after being pushed onto the plank by Keera, she seemed to have seen a boat approaching…
Since she was rescued, then surely Keera was rescued as well, right?
She looked around, trying to find her phone to call Oceanion…
Before she could locate her phone, the door was pushed open, and a man in his mid-twenties strode in.
He had a somewhat feminine appearance and looked at Keira with eyes full of mockery and disdain.
Amy hid behind Keira and whispered softly, “Daddy.”
This man was Keera’s husband?
As soon a and. hey!”
ra realized this, she saw the man sneer much as glancing at Amy, he said to p just in time! Get ready. We’re leaving rowned.
then said, “Mommy is sick. Uncle said she needs rest well. Daddy, can we not let Mommy go out?”
The man scoffed. “She isn’t dead yet, is she?”
Then, looking outside, he called, “Mom, come here and help her pack some clothes!”
Following his words, a middle-aged woman walked in grumbling, “Such bad luck. Why do I have to pack for her? Can’t she do it herself?”
This was Keera’s mother-in-law.
She turned directly to the man. “Howard, you spoil her too much!”
The man named Howard laughed. “Mom, we’re in a hurry, right? Let’s not delay our departure!”
Howard’s mother frowned. “Where are we rushing off to so urgently?”
oward smiled. “I just heard about something. It’s said that the head of the Horton family in Oceanion, Lewis Horton’s wife, has died. We’re going to attend her funeral. It’ll be a good opportunity to meet some influential people!”
Upon hearing this, Keira’s pupils contracted sharply!
She looked at Howard in disbelief, asking subconsciously. “Who did you sav?!”
