Free Web NovelChapter 1123: Chapter 585: Extra Story: Love Burning Brightly 1
There weren’t just her on the coast; there were a few young couples nearby.
She admitted that at this moment, she was forcing him to reveal his true feelings, her last resort...
The young couples noticed her, but failed to perceive her peculiarity, merely thinking she was a person admiring the sea alone at night.
She stared dazedly at the sea adorned by the starlight of Paris, slowly taking steps forward.
"Alice..."
The sudden calling from behind froze her steps.
It was Claud Laurence.
When she turned around, she realized that the sea had reached her chest.
"No..." Claud Laurence was terrified.
It was the first time she saw Claud Laurence looking pale, so unlike his usual calm and composed demeanor.
"Come back, listen to me, come back..."
Claud Laurence dared not approach her recklessly, for if startled, she might go further, leading to unimaginable consequences.
She numbly looked at Claud Laurence, finally realizing her breathing was somewhat labored.
Yet at this moment, she surprisingly felt no fear.
"Alice, please don’t do something so foolish... Alice..."
She felt guilty because she never wanted anyone to worry for her, especially not Claud Laurence, who was flawlessly good to her.
The few couples on the beach rushed over, feeling the danger of the scene.
The sea submerged her chest, already making her breathing difficult.
She stood still, her body shaking from the impact of the sea, and hoarsely spoke to Claud Laurence, "Help me inform him... tell him I’ll be waiting for him here."
"Alright, alright... don’t move, I’ll call right away."
He finally arrived.
Immersed in the icy water, her face had turned pale, her body barely sustaining.
Charlotte Yule, who followed him, was already pale with fear, "Alice... please don’t do anything silly..."
"She’s been in the water for half an hour; she won’t be able to hold on like this..." Claud Laurence said to him, looking imposingly grim.
He looked at her from a distance, his gaze cold.
"Chester, hurry in, bring Alice up... it’s too dangerous like this." Charlotte Yule anxiously urged.
He stared at her icily, "Are you sure this will give you the outcome you want?"
Alice Robinson shook her head, "I’m not sure... but I know you wouldn’t bear to watch me die."
"What do you want?" he asked her.
With what little strength she had left, she said, "I want you to loudly say to me, ’You love me’..."
"Don’t be willful!!"
"You’re the one who’s indulged my willfulness."
"Alice!!!"
[Cough...]
Suddenly, she choked on seawater, her body staggered back two steps.
Those steps were unexpected even for her, but as she retreated, she finally saw his worried face.
"Alice..."
He rushed into the sea, shouting aloud.
The water submerged her neck, she gazed at him, still insisting, "Tell me, you love me..."
"Damn it!!"
She had never seen him so out of control.
He tore off his shirt, ripped off his tie, and jumped into the water.
She retreated, allowing the sea to cover her mouth, unable to speak but forcing him to the brink.
He swam to within two meters of her, not daring to approach further, "Alice, please... don’t move, let me come and get you..."
She shook her head, her body continuing to move back.
"No, Alice..."
She continued backward.
"I love you, Alice, I love you..."
Her steps finally stopped, tears streaming down her eyes.
"Come here, be good, come here..." He stretched his hand towards her, carefully, afraid she might retreat further.
She slowly reached out her hand...
He rushed forward, extending his hand to grab hers but caught only a handful of water.
It turned out she was too exhausted, her body beginning to fall back...
"No―"
Chester Robinson’s pupils widened in fear, watching helplessly as she sank into the water...
Alice Robinson awoke to find herself in the hospital.
Her body was enveloped in a warm embrace, and upon opening her eyes, she saw the handsome face she longed for.
He held her, his jaw resting against her face.
"You’re holding me too tight..."
She moved slightly.
He awoke from a weary sleep, seeing her struggle, he gently kissed her face, "You’re awake..."
"How long did I sleep?"
