Zhao Dong's heart pounded as he sprinted, pushing himself to his absolute limit. Although Ding Lan's past actions had broken his heart, how could he possibly stand by and watch her die?
When Zhao Dong reached the riverbank, he froze, a strange expression on his face. He had completely misread the situation. In the middle of the river, a little boy who had accidentally fallen in was struggling desperately. Ding Lan was swimming swiftly toward the boy, clearly trying to save him.
Seeing this, Zhao Dong breathed a sigh of relief. He watched from the bank as Ding Lan quickly reached the boy, grabbed him, and began swimming back to shore. But the boy, panicked from nearly drowning, began to struggle frantically the moment she reached him. Ding Lan had to fight against his wild thrashing while trying to swim.
In just a few moments, Ding Lan's strength failed, and she began to sink.
Nearby, a frantic couple rushed over. Seeing the scene unfolding, they screamed in terror.
