Chapter 426:

“Huh?” Tracy didn’t even have a second to react before Rachel shoved her toward the pool.

A loud splash echoed as Tracy hit the water—but she wasn’t going down alone.

In a last-ditch effort, she grabbed Rachel’s arm, yanking her in as well. The moment Rachel hit the water, sheer panic overtook her. Memories of her childhood trauma—of nearly drowning—came rushing back. Fear paralyzed her, stealing her breath before she could even call for help. Her body was sinking fast, the water swallowing her whole. The world blurred into darkness, dragging her into a suffocating abyss.

Tracy, however, shrieked in panic. “Brian! Help me!”

Brian snapped his head around at the sound of her voice.

Just then, a waiter bolted toward the pool and dove in without a second thought.

He was nearest to Natalia.

Brian pointed toward Natalia, barking orders. “Get her out first! Save her!”

“Got it!” the waiter responded and quickly swam toward Natalia. Brian, meanwhile, spun around and powered through the water toward Tracy.

His injured hand burned in the water, but he pushed through the pain, refusing to slow down.
