Chapter 53
Thea almost fainted. In her mind, she cursed Jake up and down
The pregnant woman was on the verge of tears, holding her stomach with a panicked look. "What should I do? If I lose my baby, what's the point of living?
Thea tried to calm her down. "Don't worry. We've already called the rescue team, and they should be here soon."
Without hesitation, Thea took off her life jacket and handed it to the pregnant woman. And she said, "Here, put this on and go. You might have to float in the water for a bit, but if you hang there, the shore isn't far. You'll be saved for sure." The pregnant woman looked surprised. "But if I take this, what about you?"
Thea shook her head. TI be fine. You go." She remembered that Jake and Madelyn's lifeboat had life jackets on board. They hadn't gone far yet, so there was still time.
But the yacht wasn't going to hold up much longer. As Thea glanced out at the open sea, a wave of dizziness washed over her. The truth was, she couldn't swim.
Without no choice. Thea closed her eyes, took a deep breath and dove into the water.
Meanwhile, things weren't going well for Jake and Madelyn either. They never expected there to be something wrong with the lifeboat
Fortunately, there were three life jackets on board. After putting them on hurriedly, they jumped into the water, floating as they watched someone in the distance struggling and swunming toward them.

Even the short distance felt like it was draining every ounce of her strength.
As she got closer to Jake and Madelyn, Then shouted, "Life jacke I need a life jacket!"
Jake moved to throw one to her instinctively, but Madelyn grabbed his arm.
Clutching the spare life jacket tightly, Madelyn sobbed. Jake, let's just go. I'm terrified."
"Don't throw that out, Madelyn pleaded. I'm scared I'll sink. I'm really scared of dying, Jake."
Jake sighed, a bit helpless. "Don't worry, I'm right here. But Thea needs a life jacket. We should give her the extra one."
Madelyn pouted. 'Ms. Rowland can swim, can't she? I think she's just trying to get on the lifeboat with us. But there's only room for two.
"For the sake of our child, can't we be selfish this once? Thea's tough, and she'll be fine, right?"NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
Looking at Madelyn's tear-streaked, delicate face, Jake hesitated,
In the end, Jake gave in, stuffing the spare life jacket into Madelyn's arms and speeding up toward the shore. "Don't worry, I'll get us out of here" Thea, still struggling in the water, couldn't believe it whe
