Chapter 106
“Marcus, it's cold. You can’t dive in there; you'll just prove that Millie’s telling the truth.” Marcus waited a full minute, but there was still no movement from the water. ©
He closed his eyes and tried to mentally calculate the time. Millie would drown if he did not dive in there now. With a click of his tongue, he shoved Rhea away and dove headfirst into the water.
Meanwhile, at the bottom of the pool, Millie was desperately trying to free herself from a clump of water weeds, holding her breath the whole time.
There were water weeds wrapped around her ankle, making her feel trapped and terrified.
At this rate, she was going to drown. She also could not help but feel disappointed.
The party had a lot of guests, but no one even tried to save her.
Normally, even if a waiter were to fall into the water, security guards would jump in to save him right away.
However, she did not lose hope. She had to fight to stay alive. She repeatedly told herself that she could not die because she still needed to take care of her grandmother.
Underwater, Marcus searched around for a while before he found Millie at the bottom of the pond. He swam over to her, annoyed.
When Millie saw him coming toward her, her eyes widened in surprise and then shone with joy. An overwhelming sense of relief and happiness washed over her upon realizing she was going to be saved.
However, as Marcus approached her, he caught a glimpse of her hideous face, and his pupils dilated in horror.
Millie’s mask had come off, showing the hideous scar that seemed like a worm had burrowed into her face, giving her a grotesque appearance.
The woman was not aware that her mask had come off because she was caught off guard by her fall. Back to the present, in her panic, she grabbed Marcus's hand and pointed at her ankle.
Marcus, however, ignored what Millie was trying to say and tugged at her hand aggressively to get her to the surface.
When he realized he could not move her, he turned around and shot Millie a glare.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
Millie urgently pointed at her ankle. Only then did Marcus notice the water weeds wrapped around it. He quickly swam over to free her. Once that was done, he swam away, with Millie following him.
The moment Millie emerged from the water’s surface, she immediately knew something was wrong. She brought a hand to her face and discovered that her mask was gone.
She quickly sank back into the water to look for it. Meanwhile, Rhea silently stuffed the mask into her bag and waited for Millie to come ashore and face everyone’s ridicule.
Marcus scowled and dragged Millie back to the surface of the water.
