Chapter: 427
Christopher and Xavier soon led a group of people over, yet didn�t dare to take another step as they noticed the rough waves�
�Why are you just standing there? Save them! Hunt and Smith are both being carried away by thosewaves!� Renee sobbed profusely, never feeling such despair in her life.
If it weren�t to protect her children, she would�ve just saved them herself.
The moment Xavier heard this, he didn�t hesitate in the slightest, intending to jump straight in, only to be stopped by Christopher.
As the eldest in their group, Christopher has always been the rational friend. With a solemn expression, he said, �We can�t send more people into these waves. Professionals on the rescue teams are already doing their jobs. So let�s just calm down and wait by the shore quietly. We have to prioritize our own safety first.�
�I can�t just calm down!� Xavier roared. �Stef is in there! Cecy is in there! I can�t just sit back and watch them die like a wuss!�
Renee felt as if she was going to lose it with the two arguing fiercely right next to her. Unknowingly, she even started walking towards the direction where Stefan disappeared�
Although she had mentioned not sparing him a tear if he died, she still wished for him to stay alive. She didn�t want her children to lose their father, even before they were born.
�Miss Everheart! What are you doing? Come back!� Christopher instantly rushed over and grabbed Renee by the arm once he noticed her trying to dive into the water.
�The waves are too big, and it�s just too dangerous! The rescue team is already doing its best, okay? Let�s get back to shore now!�
Renee�s face was pale as if she had lost her very soul. She stared back at Christopher with blank eyes.
"Let go of me� I didn�t want to save them. I just wanted to take a look at his corpse� Never mind, I just wanted to check it out. It�s not like l'm trying to save anymore."
�I know you�re worried about Stef, but we need to calm down at times like this! Stef wouldn�t want you to get hurt, you know? He cares a lot about you!"
"I�m not worrying about him. I just wanted to take a closer look! You don�t know this, but I�ve always been a fan of gossip, so let me go� Let me see!!"
Renee seemed too panicky to make up a coherent excuse. Moreover, the waves were crashing onto the lower half of her body, and it made her seem like she wouldn�t be able to maintain proper balance ifshe stayed there any longer.
Having no other choice, Christopher narrowed his eyes as he carried Renee bridal-style. As she tried to struggle out of his arms, he awkwardly said,� I�m sorry, I have to protect you in Stef�s stead.�
"Let go of me! I know what I�m doing! I can take care of myself! I don�t need anyone�s protection!� Renee screamed loudly.
Even then, she was worried she might affect her children�s well-being, so she didn�t dare to struggle with all her might either.
�Stop moving. I can promise you that Stef will be just fine! He�s tough, and a good swimmer too! He even won the championship of a diving contest before! He�ll be fine, alright?�
Under the glow of the reddish-orange sun, Christopher looked toward the woman in his arms with utmost certainty. JrNovels.com
