Chapter 253: Chapter 253



.

He didn’t have time to worry about how cold the water was, he just wanted to swim to her side as soon as possible.

Heaven and earth seemed to be upside down, and Dolores seemed to see Matthew swimming towards her. She wanted to wave her hands, she wanted to scream his name, but her body could not be controlled by herself. Her leg felt as if something was tripping her, pulling her down.

Matthew, Matthew…

Large gulps of water filled her mouth, drowning her words.

“Dolores…”

He pulled himself out of the water to take a breath of air and then dove down to look for her.

Quickly, he saw her legs tangled by the seaweed. She was fighting for her life, but he still couldn’t get rid of them. He swam quickly to her and embraced her. He pinned her head and pressed her lips together, trying to give her air.

Dolores opened her eyes, as if finding the final straw to save her life, and hugged him tightly.

Matthew pushed her away and shook his head. He dove deeper under the water, to push away the seaweed tangling his legs.

When he hugged her again, she had already lost consciousness.

She had been without oxygen for too long, the puff of oxygen Matthew had given her a moment ago not enough to sustain her for long.

Quickly, Matthew pulled her back to shore.

“Dad, Mom.” Samuel and Simona were stretching their necks on the shore. Seeing Matthew carry Dolores back to shore, they shouted excitedly. Matthew motioned for them to go back together, and the two children obediently followed him back to the car.

Charles had wanted to go ahead, but Matthew ignored him.

Traces on the shore had evidenced that Dolores had not fallen into the water by accident.

This place had been suggested by Charles, and Matthew was now suspicious of him.

Naturally, he did not want to talk to him any further. He had not yet cleared this incident with him, and so Charles was also suspicious.

“Tom, go check the surrounding CCTV.” Charles’ expression was also terrible.

This place was suggested by him, and now that Dolores had accidentally fallen into the water, he had the responsibility to explain to Matthew about this.

Tom lowered his head, “I’ll do it now.”

In the car, after Matthew’s repeated resuscitations and pressure on her chest, Dolores slowly woke up. In her eyes was a blurry watery trail, she could not see clearly. The blurry face in front of her was obviously Matthew.

She wrapped her arms around him, she had been afraid just a moment ago.

It was the second time she had experienced drowning, the moment she fell underwater, she had been so close to death. She was so afraid to leave them like this, and to leave her two children.

“I, I’m so scared.”

Matthew hugged her and kissed her wet forehead, “It’s okay, it’s okay.”

They were both completely wet, Dolores was shivering in his arms. She was so cold, so cold.

“Turn up the heat!”

His breath, his rage, his angry growl, everything felt like it was charged with electricity, transmitted to her body. She could feel his fear, his self-blame. Dolores hugged him tightly, this was not her fault.

She had been too careless, she hadn’t let the bodyguards follow her, that’s why this had happened.

Thinking about what had happened, when she had come back from buying fish feed and had bumped into Lacey. Dolores fell into his arms, and said softly, “It wasn’t an accident, it was Lacey.”

Lacey had then appeared in front of her.

“Miss Flores, may I trouble you to speak for a moment?” Lacey still wore the same honest expression.

Although she didn’t know much about her business, but Dolores was wary of this woman. She smiled and said, “There is no one here, if you have anything you can tell me here, I have something pending.”

Lacey looked at the fish food in her hands and let out a laugh, “Great.” She lifted her head to look up at the sky, “Great weather today, just right for going out to play.” Her expression changed very quickly, so much so that before Dolores managed to react, Lacey had rushed in front of her and grabbed her shoulder. Her gaze was dark and creepy, “Why are you so brazen, you already have a husband, but you’re still seducing Charles?”

At that moment, Dolores understood where her hatred was coming from.

Actually, it was because of Charles.

“You’re no match for him, you’re no match, you bitch!” He raised his hand, directing his palms towards Dolores’ face. Dolores was no fool to stand there to be slapped.

She ducked and Lacey’s hand reached for nothing, she became even angrier.

Dolores realized that things were turning sour. Lacey was very aggressive, and she was very mad. Dolores wanted to leave, she had only taken one step before Lacey grabbed her, “Don’t even think about leaving, don’t think I don’t know what you’re going to get someone!”

Dolores kept her cool, “I think you misunderstood, I have no relation to him, if you don’t believe you can go ask Charles.”

“Do you think I’m stupid? Charles is already infatuated with you. He’s so protective of you, why would he listen to me!” Lacey growled. Seeing the fish food in Dolores’ hands, she let out a cold laugh, “Why don’t you go feed the fish yourself? Go to hell, if you’re dead, you wouldn’t seduce Charles anymore.”

“Matt…”

Dolores wanted to scream for Matthew, but her mouth clamped shut once she opened them. He dragged her towards the lake, if a person went crazy, his energy became extraordinarily great. Dolores couldn’t get rid of Lacey’s hands, the rocks on the shore were slippery too, and she fell.

Matthew hugged her tightly, “I know.”

“Are you cold?” In Dolores’ hands was water, she touched her face and it was cold.

Matthew covered her hands and shook his head, “I’m not cold.”

The car heater was already on full blast, it was already very warm.

After a while, the car stopped at the hotel. Matthew took Dolores out of the car and the two children were ushered in by the bodyguards.

Armand had taken Theresa on a date, only Boyce was left at the hotel. He was lying on the couch playing with his phone. Hearing noises, he came out of his room, and saw Matthew who was completely wet, carrying Dolores in his arms. He rushed over, “What happened?” Weren’t they on a trip?

Why did they come back so quickly, and why did they look like that?

“Don’t ask, get a doctor here first.” It could be that Dolores had a fever from the chills, her whole body was boiling.

“All right, all right.” Boyce had the bodyguards take the children to the room. He went down personally to get a doctor.

“I’m cold, very cold.” Dolores shivered in Matthew’s arms, she felt so dizzy, even her consciousness was a blur.

Matthew didn’t know how to comfort her, he could only move faster into the room and place her on the bed. Then he took off her clothes, if she didn’t get out of those wet clothes, he feared the fever would get worse.

The soaked jacket Matthew had taken from her was thrown on the floor, then he removed her wool sweater. Dolores had not completely lost consciousness, she could feel someone removing her clothes and clung to the hands of the person doing it.

Her voice was a little hoarse, and a little pleading, “No, I, I, I’m not ready, give me a little more time…”

Matthew, “…”

Yes, he wanted her, he really wanted her.

There were even many times when, just seeing her, he had a biological reaction. He wasn’t sure if it was because he had been holding back for too long.

But, at this moment, he hadn’t really thought about doing anything to her, he just wanted to take off her clothes that were soaking wet.

Matthew lowered his body and kissed her dry lips, “Don’t worry, I won’t touch you, even though I want you, I want it to be when you are conscious. I want you to feel me fully.”
