As he raced towards the pool, Baron Stuart realized it was still several meters away. Despite his swift steps, he felt it was too far away. Even a one-second delay made his chest ache with suffocation.

“Emily Walker!” For the first time, he screamed, torn apart by agony.

Baron Stuart leapt into the pool.

Seeing the person in the water, her eyes shut tight as she floated, his heart clenched mercilessly. Intense despair threatened to engulf him.

He controlled the storms, ruled the business world, and could obtain anything he wanted with ease. However, now he experienced a new, overwhelming sense of fear, afraid of losing her – the one before him.

In the water, he grabbed her. As he turned her over, he accidentally glimpsed something at the bottom of the pool shining with a brilliant, transparent hue.

By the time they emerged from the pool, they were soaked to the bone. Emily now seemed devoid of life, showing no signs of vitality.

Looking at her, Baron’s pupils were filled with urgency and intense pain. Never having feared anything before, his hands trembled uncontrollably.

He continuously patted Emily’s pale face as she lay on the ground. “Emily… wake up… Wake up!”

He screamed hysterically, feeling a newfound heartache tearing him apart.

Mrs. Noelle, helplessly occupied, ran over at the sound of the commotion just in time to see Emily lying on the ground and a soaked Baron Stuart.

“What… what happened…?” Mrs. Noelle stared in shock, unable to comprehend how this had occurred so quickly.

As Baron repeatedly slapped Emily’s cheeks, he recalled Bella performing CPR on her, so he followed suit. Pressing on her chest from time to time, he murmured, “Please wake up… Wake up…”

Despite his desperate attempts, Emily on the ground remained motionless. Baron Stuart’s suffocating sensation in his chest grew more intense as Emily’s vitality completely vanished.

“Emily… Wake up… Wake up!”

His wet strands of hair dripped water onto his cheeks, unable to conceal the desperate pain in his eyes.

At last, Baron applied pressure to her chest once more, causing the girl on the ground to tremble noticeably.

“Cough – cough A bout of violent coughing marked Emily’s return to consciousness as she spat out a considerable amount of water, seemingly returning from the brink of death.

Seeing her wake up, a trace of joy finally flashed across Baron Stuart’s urgent and worried face, barely discernable.

Emily Walker opened her eyes, somewhat disoriented, only to find a drenched and disheveled figure before her. Her mind was still foggy.

Staring blankly at the man before her, her consciousness gradually returned after a moment’s time.

Jumping into the pool was solely to retrieve the platinum necklace, even though she knew she couldn’t swim. At that time, it was as if a force had compelled her to act. Even though she knew she couldn’t swim, she jumped in unconsciously.

It was that intense desire that made her realize the simple platinum ring was worth risking her life for – albeit unintentionally..
