When she jumped out of the window, He Lingling thought that since the study was on the second floor, the fall wouldn't be fatal but would only cripple her. She preferred death over being cripple for life. She had it all planned out—to land headfirst for an easy and quick end.
But she hadn't anticipated that there would be a swimming pool right below the window. Her jump landed her straight in the water like a dive.
Underwater, she held her breath and just let herself sink further down, thinking that perhaps this was for the best. Although she was terrified of dying, death seemed preferable to remaining trapped on this island for life.
Suddenly, a figure jumped from the same window through which He Lingling had leapt, piercing the water's surface and wrapping an arm around her waist, pulling her up.
With closed eyes, He Lingling, who was just waiting for death, felt someone carrying her upwards and opened her eyes underwater. Then she saw Li Fengnian's face.
