Chapter 336: Chapter 336
Watching Serena leap down, Chase Sherman was so startled that he let out a cry.
If he could swim, he would have certainly followed suit, after all, before leaving, Master Damian had specifically instructed him to protect Miss Serena well!
If anything were to happen to Miss Serena, he’d be doomed!
Chase was extremely anxious but had no other option; he could only wait anxiously on the shore.
Serena swam quickly, reaching the drowning child in less than five minutes. She reached out to grab the child’s arm to swim back to shore.
But unexpectedly, the "drowning" child suddenly grabbed Serena’s ankle, forcefully pulling her underwater.
It was then that Serena saw his face clearly. He wasn’t a frail child at all but a dwarf with a small stature. He merely looked like a child but was in fact an adult.
He wasn’t drowning at all; it was all an act.
"Go to hell, hahaha!"
The dwarf man gave a sinister laugh, gripping Serena’s ankle even tighter, pulling her deeper into the water, intending to drown her.
Even as she was dragged deeper, Serena remained calm despite the dangerous situation.
The dwarf, seeing her so composed, grew even grimmer, twisting his face as he scoffed, "Someone about to die doesn’t need to know much. You just need to know you’ve offended someone you shouldn’t have..."
Before he could finish, Serena seized the opportunity, delivering a hard kick to his chest with her other foot.
She had only spoken to him to distract his attention.
The dwarf let out a pained scream, his face twisting in agony as he endured the severe pain, swimming toward Serena, this time grabbing both her ankles to drag her down again.
Standing on the shore, Chase watched as Serena was dragged underwater, filled with anxiety.
Damian Quinn had returned, holding a pair of childish couple hats in his hand.
Chase pointed toward the river and hurriedly said, "Master Damian, Miss Serena just saw someone fall into the water, so she jumped in to save them..."
Following Chase’s gaze, Damian Quinn saw Serena being dragged under by someone in the water, his breath caught, and for the first time, an immense fear welled up in his heart.
He feared something would happen to the young girl and feared even more losing her...
Damian Quinn’s mesmerizing eyes turned crimson in an instant, and without hesitation, he was about to jump in.
"Master Damian... Please stay calm..." Seeing this, Chase hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, "I’ve already notified the Hidden Guard, they’re on their way here, Miss Serena will be fine!"
If there were any other ambushers in the water, it would be extremely dangerous for Master Damian to go in now!
"Get out of the way!"
Damian Quinn shoved Chase aside, his gaze becoming ominously fierce like a beast caught in a violent rage, sending chills down one’s spine.
He couldn’t wait any longer; every minute wasted added another minute of danger to the young girl!
Chase couldn’t stop the enraged man and could only watch as Damian Quinn jumped into the river.
Just then, Serena emerged from the water, swiftly and adeptly climbing ashore. Seeing the worry in his eyes, she softly spoke.
"Don’t worry, I’m fine."
Damian Quinn took a deep breath, immediately removing his suit jacket to wrap the soaking-wet girl, pulling her tightly into his embrace, his voice tinged with tremors, clearly shaken.
"Serena, thank goodness you’re okay..."
Serena reached out to hug him back, strong with reassurance, but recalling all that had happened underwater, her strikingly beautiful fox-like eyes shimmered with intense coldness.
If it weren’t for her exceptional swimming skills, anyone else would have been dragged to the depths and drowned by the dwarf.
The dwarf’s swimming ability was good, but nowhere near hers. After two rounds of fighting in the water, he fled in fear.
"Today’s incident was definitely a setup, deliberately luring me into the water."
Serena’s eyes grew even colder, using the goodness of human nature to set such a trap was truly despicable.
Hearing this, Damian Quinn’s expression darkened further, but he quickly picked the young girl up horizontally, a low magnetic voice gently whispering in her ear.
"Baby, leave this to me. You need to change out of those wet clothes first, or else you’ll catch a cold.
The girl already suffers from dysmenorrhea every month during her period. If caught in the cold again, next month would be terribly painful!
Serena understood his intentions, the man so attentive and caring, her heart warmed, obediently holding onto his neck and agreeing.
To get the girl to change out of her wet clothes as quickly as possible, Damian Quinn carried her to the nearest hotel.
The hotel manager, having received the news, waited at the entrance. As soon as he saw Damian Quinn, he respectfully greeted him. But upon seeing a woman in his arms, he couldn’t help being taken aback.
Only when Damian Quinn shot a chilling glance did he swiftly suppress his surprise and respectfully said, "Master Damian, your presidential suite is ready..."
Diving straight to business, Damian Quinn wasted no time, swiftly carrying the girl into the presidential suite, setting the bath and adjusting the water temperature before carrying her into the bathroom. Thɪs chapter is updated by novel_fіre.net
Serena’s clothes were soaked through, and once Damian’s jacket was removed, her graceful figure was barely concealed.
Damian Quinn’s gaze darkened for a split second, but he quickly forced himself to look away, gently prying her hands off his sleeve, his voice hoarse.
"Baby, call me when you’re done bathing."
Serena, aware of his heated gaze, felt her ears warm, obediently letting go of him, "Mm."
Not daring to linger a moment longer, afraid he’d lose control if he stayed, Damian Quinn hurriedly left the bathroom.
Chase waited respectfully outside the door; seeing Damian Quinn come out, he immediately reported.
"Master Damian, the attacker in the water fled quickly, we have no information on him yet. The woman who was part of the act also escaped in the chaos..."
Upon hearing this, Damian Quinn’s expression turned icy cold to the extreme, his voice chilling and fierce.
"Keep investigating, they must be captured alive."
Chase: "Yes, Master Damian!"
