Chapter 251 The Rescue
Chapter 251 The Rescue
Nelson was reading in his room when he heard a voice calling for him outside, and it sounded like
Lily's. He beamed as his heart began to race.
Nelson placed the book on his bed and answered the door.
Lily was at the door with a panicked expression on her face.
"What's wrong, Lily?" Nelson asked.
Lily was out of breath from running. When she was about to speak, she accidentally choked and
started coughing persistently, so much so that she couldn't say anything.
Nelson went back into his room and poured a glass of water for Lily. He gestured Lily to drink the water
whilst patting her on her back.
"Slow down. Don't rush. Is it that exciting to see me?" Nelson joked, raising his eyebrows.
"Go to hell. You think I'm excited because of you? You need to rescue Linda. She just fell into the
water, and I couldn't swim, so I can't save her."
"What? Lady Linda fell into the water?" Nelson's demeanour changed dramatically.
"Yes, in the plum garden. You should hurry! I was going to come visit you, but suddenly I forgot where
you lived. So I went back and found Linda in the water. And from the way she looked, it didn't seem like
she couldn't hang on much longer."
"I'll go rescue Lady Linda. You let Anna know and bring her there, we need her."
"Okay."
Nelson immediately raced towards the plum garden.
He was running as fast as he could, worried for Linda's life.
He could tell that Lord Nalan really cherished Lady Linda, and he couldn't let anything happen to her.
And there was also the unborn baby. He couldn't lose two lives like this!
In two minutes, Nelson made it to the plum garden's gate.
Other than the bright lights and the slight trembles of the plum blossoms because of the breeze, the
garden was dead silent.
It was already dark, and a bad feeling came over Nelson at once. He quickly ran inside, "Lady Linda,
Lady Linda, can you hear me? If you can hear me, please make a sound so I can hear you."
"Nel..."
A weak voice came from the pond. Nelson immediately rushed towards the pond and saw Linda
holding on to the edge with one hand. Her eyes were closed, her face pale and her lips almost blue.
"My Lady, just hold on a little longer. I'll get you out of the water."
Linda opened her eyes slightly, but she couldn't see anything clearly at that moment. The water was
too cold.
She could only grab the edge of the pond with one hand, and protect her belly with another. She feared
that something would happen to her baby.
Having held on for so long, she couldn't feel anything in her arm. She was fighting to hold on, and when
she heard Nelson's voice and saw his distorted figure, her strength escaped her.
She let go and floated further away from the edge.
Suddenly she felt a sharp discomfort in her nose. She was drowning. But she had nothing left in her to
fight for her life.
Nelson took off his coat right away and jumped into the water.
She felt a warm embrace, followed by being lifted and small splashes of water as Nelson swam to the
edge.
Even though her lungs welcomed the fresh air, Linda couldn't hold on any longer and fainted.
Nelson's worry levels sky-rocketed as Linda's body went limp in his hands. He had saved her from
drowning, but Nelson was worried about the possibility of hypothermia and the survival of the unborn
baby.
During the first three months of pregnancy, the baby inside a mother's womb was in a vulnerable state.
Nelson just hoped that nothing would happen to them both. Now that Linda was weak and in a coma,
there's no way for Nelson to ask her what happened.
At the same time in Rosy's Garden.
"How did it go?" Rosy Nalan and Jessie Luo were sitting in the living room having a cup of tea.
A servant dressed in white stood beside them and bowed his head.
"My Lady, I pushed her into the pond with my own hands."
"Did she see you?"
"I don't think so."
"Take your 50, 000. I don't have to remind you what to do next, do I?" Rosy raised her eyebrows and
said.
The servant nodded from side-to-side, "I know, My Lady, I will quit my job immediately and leave the
SH." This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
Satisfied that the servant would comply with the next instruction, Rosy nodded her head and her facial
features relaxed.
Even if Linda Xia didn't die this time, she was bound to suffer.
After all, falling into the pond in the winter was a recipe of disaster.
After the servant had left, Jessie couldn't help but laugh, "We finally have our revenge."
Rosy also smiled, but not for too long.
"Those who offend me will pay for it.
Of course, especially her. I couldn't believe that she is helping Lily Jiang. I can't stand such insolence.
However, I'm still a little worried that people might find out what we did. My grandfather likes her a lot,
and if he investigated the matter..."
"Are you kidding me? There's no way that they would suspect us. She fell into the pond accidentally!
What does it have to do with us? The person who pushed her is about to quit and leave the country.
Stop worrying." Jessie comforted Rosy in a low voice.
Rosy found Jessie's argument quite convincing and was relieved immediately. She thought, "Even if
grandfather investigated this matter and finds out who pushed Linda into the water, they would just
refuse to admit it. Could anyone possibly force her into confessing? She was Richard Nalan's
granddaughter, by blood, and Richard would never hurt her for the sake of a..."
Thinking of this, Rosy felt even better.
"Come on. Let's have something special for dinner to celebrate." Rosy smiled and said to Jessie.
Lily rushed to Anna as fast as she could and they returned to the plum garden as quickly as possible.
Anna also brought Linda a set of clean clothes. Linda's clothes must have all been drenched when she
fell into the water. In this cold weather, she could be sick in a few minutes. So Anna thought of treating
Linda at the plum garden first.
When they arrived at the plum garden, Nelson had dragged Linda out of the pond, and she was lying
quietly on the ground.
Nelson had placed his coat under Linda's head.
Since it was inappropriate for Nelson to take off Linda's clothes, he couldn't do anything about her wet
clothes, but only wait for Anna and Lily to arrive.
Upon seeing Anna and Lily, Nelson called out immediately, "One of you come quickly and help Lady
Linda to change into some dry clothes. She's all drenched, and she might be hypothermic."
