Boss, Your Wife’s Asking for A Divorce, Again novel Chapter 440

Chapter 440 Mouth-To-Mouth Resuscitation

It is just that I have no chance to repay your kindness in this life… I’m sorry, Toby!

In her heart, Sonia silently spoke to Toby.

The descent was quick, and in just a few seconds, they had fallen to the bottom of the cliff. However, to Sonia, it was like a century had passed. Just as she took a deep breath, ready to meet the moment of her bones shattering into a million pieces, she and Toby unexpectedly did not fall on the hard ground but into a deep bottomless lake instead.

There was a loud splash as the two of them fell heavily into the lake, and the water splashed up at least a few feet high. Sonia immediately opened her eyes as the cold lake water seeped into her eyes, ears, and nose, making it an uncomfortable situation. But more than that, she felt excitement and great joy. She tore off the tape on her mouth and smiled with her mouth closed. I didn’t die! I survived!

Originally, she thought that falling off the cliff meant certain death.

Thank God! This is such a one-in-a-million miracle! I mean, honestly, who’d have expected a lake at the bottom of a cliff?

Sonia was so happy that she was about to cry, but just as she was about to bite the rope off her hand with her mouth, she suddenly thought of something, and her heart’s excitement and ecstasy disappeared. Where is Toby?

At that thought, Sonia had a change in expression. Just when she and Toby fell into the lake, Toby’s hand, which had been holding her, had let go.

Thus, she concluded that he should be nearby, looking around to find him. However, her brows furrowed when she didn’t see him anywhere.

Strange, there is no one here. Could it be that he had already swum ashore? That’s not impossible.

Thinking of this, Sonia sighed with relief. It was good if he went ashore first. Besides, she also had to find a way to save herself. She lowered her head and bit the rope, trying to release herself from it. This process was extraordinarily difficult for Sonia because the time for her to hold her breath in the water was limited. For an average person with professional swimming training, it could last almost two minutes. So, she had to untie the rope and swim to the surface to breathe within two minutes, or she would drown otherwise.

It was a good thing that when Declan’s people tied her up, they didn’t use too complicated knots. Sonia pulled the knot hard while still being careful not to put too much pressure on her own throat. Yes! Finally, she untied the rope on her wrist, so without delay, she tried to reach her feet.

With her hands, the ropes on her feet were untied within ten seconds. She thought that she had Declan’s people to thank for not tying her with hemp rope. Otherwise, the rope would have swollen with water and become tighter, and it would have been impossible to untie it within two minutes.

With her arms and legs finally free, Sonia was delighted, and then she immediately paddled her arms and swung her feet to swim upward. A few seconds later, she emerged from the surface and then exhaled loudly. I’ve finally come back to life!

Shedding tears of joy, Sonia then shouted toward the shore, “Toby, are you there?”

However, there was no response from the shore.

Sonia did not want to believe this fact and hurriedly folded her hands together. Putting her hands on Toby’s chest, she began to give him first aid chest compressions. After several compressions, she lay down again and put her ear to his heart to hear if he had any heartbeat. After not hearing any, she continued to press a few times. Then, she pinched his nose, lifted his jaw, and gave him mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. After that, she alternated between that and chest compressions.

Two minutes passed, but Toby still did not respond. Sonia could not hold back any longer, and biting her lower lip, she began crying. Her voice choked as she said, “Toby, hurry up and come back alive. Do you hear me? Hurry up and come back alive. I am not dead, so how can you, someone who is randomly involved in this matter, die!”

Her tears fell, and one drop fell directly on Toby’s eyelid. With that, Toby’s eyelashes trembled, and his eyes moved a little. Although it was not obvious, Sonia still caught it. Her eyes instantly opened wide, and she began trembling with excitement. He’s come back to life!

“Toby!” Sonia stopped her movements and gently removed her hands away from his chest. Then, she stared at him with bated breath. Was he about to wake up?

“Pfft!” Toby did not wake up but suddenly spat out a few mouthfuls of lake water and then coughed violently. When he coughed, his body shuddered a few times. Sonia hurriedly lifted his upper body up and let him lean in her arms and then raised her hand to pat his back with some force so that he would vomit some more and spit out all the water.

“Cough, cough, cough…” Coughing for a while, Toby finally opened his eyes after spitting out more water. However, he was frail, and his face was pale and bloodless. His eyes were only half opened as he looked at Sonia and tried to speak. “Sonia…”

“Great, you’ve finally come back to life.”

Filled with tears of joy, Sonia did not think much before hugging Toby. “Do you know that you had no heartbeat and breathing just now? You scared me to death. I thought you had really just died and could not come back to life…”a
