Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me?

Chapter 707

Chapter 707 Save Me! I Don’t Want to Die

Slevin's head snapped up as though he noticed Nyla's behavior was off. He immediately spotted her scrambling toward the sea.

"What are you doing, Nyla?"

Despite shouting after her, his words did not make her stop at all. Her feet merely faltered for one brief second before she continued on.

"Nyla!"

Finally, she stopped running.

She turned around to shoot him a bleak smile as her dress danced in the wind. She looked as delicate and flimsy as a thin piece of paper.

"Brother... No. Slevin Damazio, you have been the only person in my life. Now that you don't want me, what point is there in living?" she said.

There was a conflicted look in his eyes. He was at a loss for words.

"Thank you for being so nice to me throughout the years. I don't need it anymore, though."

She then darted to the ocean in a frenzied sprint. When he saw that the rising tide and crashing waves were about to swallow her whole, his face twisted in shock.

He ran as fast as he could to try to drag her out of the ocean, but the fierce waves eventually pushed him back to the shore.

"Stop, Nyla! If you keep going, you'll die!"

Nyla did not stop and continued to walk forward. By now, the water level was as high as her knees.

"You don't need to save me. Go back," she responded. Still, her strides shortened noticeably, and she walked slower.

Perhaps she still felt the urge to live because she soon stopped and turned around to look at him. He was so close to her, yet they were separated by rolling waves.

A smug smile spread across her lips.

"I told you. You came to save me because you can't bear to see me die, right?"

"Come back already! The tide is rising!" he roared back at her.

It did not seem like that was a satisfactory reply for her, however. She shook her head and put on a look of fragility.

"You don't want me anymore..."

He clenched his jaw and eventually spat out, "When did you hear me say that? As long as you're willing, you will forever be my sister!"

That made her freeze.

Hope shone on her face once more, and she tried to get back to shore. However, no matter how hard she tried, she would always be pushed back by the waves.

It was only then that she realized she had gotten herself stuck between a rock and a hard place. The smug smile on her face instantly vanished, replaced by panic.

"Help me, Slevin! I can't get back!"

She reached out to grab something to pull herself back to the shore, but there was nothing within reach.

Slevin unsteadily stumbled over to her.

When Elspeth saw that the two of them were about to be dragged further into the ocean by the waves, she shouted in helplessness, "Slevin, you can still turn back. Come back or you'll be dragged out by the waves as well!"

"Save me, Slevin! Help! I don't want to die! I don't want to be dragged out into the waters!" Nyla shrieked.

By now, she had sunk below the seawater. With every surge of water crashing over her head, her words would be cut off.

"Help—" She was completely overwhelmed. Why did I run over to somewhere with deep waters? I had only meant to frighten him. Why am I risking my life?

"Please, Slevin! I'm begging you! Save me!"

No one could bear to do nothing when such miserable cries echoed through the air.

He had planned to continue his way over to her but suddenly found his arm captured in a tight grip.

Whirling around, he found Elspeth standing there with a stern look on her face.

"I know you're likely a good swimmer, but you cannot keep going toward her."

As she spoke, she dragged him toward the shore. He stared out into the distance in hesitation before finally pulling his phone out with gritted teeth.

"I'll call the police right now!" he exclaimed.

The rescue team said they would be there in five minutes. Unfortunately, Nyla was nowhere to be found by the time they arrived.

"I killed her..." He fell to his knees with his face stuck in a forlorn expression.

"This has nothing to do with you." She knelt down and patted him on the shoulder in comfort. "She did this out of her own will. Could you actually have stopped her when she was intent on killing herself?"
