It was essential for the heirs of the Simpson family to learn how to swim because they had an annual tradition. Everyone had to go underwater and pay their respect to their ancestors’ graves.

Casper was the best swimmer of his generation and could hold his breath for up to ten minutes while underwater.

To top it off, he also had training on how to rescue a drowning person, so the task at hand was not a difficult one for him.

The natural lighting was virtually non-existing, so Casper could not see anything under the chilly lake. Hence, he had no choice but to search blindly for Amelia. It took him some time before he saw a dark figure sinking downward. The figure showed no signs of struggle and was obviously trying to commit suicide by drowning herself.

Is all this really necessary?

Casper didn’t hesitate to swim toward her. He had to use both his arms and legs to reach her and grab her waist.

Amelia suddenly opened her eyes. She glared at Casper and shook her head endlessly to tell him that she wanted to die.

Unfortunately for her, there was no way that Casper would let her die. She spared no effort in struggling away from him, but it was all a waste. He still dragged her all the way up to the surface.

“Let go of me. I don’t want to live! Just let me die.”

She started struggling once more and kept pushing Casper away as hard as she could. To her dismay, she couldn’t break free, no matter what she did.

Casper glared over fiercely and growled, “Then drag me to my deathbed with you because there is no way I’m letting someone die in front of me!”
