Snatched a Billionaire to be My Husband novel Chapter 1024

After the ambulance took the people who fell into the lake away, the onlookers dispersed.

Some were busy continuing to dance at the masquerade, some were occupied arranging on-site security maintenance, and others were turned off by the incident by the lake, so they simply left the manor.

Only Maura stood by the lake and stared at the now calm lake.

In her mind, Freya had been pretending all along, trying to make Hayden worry about her and make him commit to marriage.

When he mentioned marriage, Freya miraculously woke up.

Maura wouldn't show mercy since this despicable woman dared to meddle with her marriage.

In the chilly night breeze, Maura's malicious expression reflected in the shimmering water...

Even though Efren had wrapped Georgia tightly to protect her from the cold, she still couldn't stop sneezing once they returned to the villa.

Moreover, she had inhaled water earlier, so Efren felt more worried.

He quickly changed Georgia into dry clothes and took her to the nearest hospital.

The doctor diagnosed Georgia with a fever caused by catching a cold and inhaling water, so he recommended she stay at the hospital for observation.

Efren didn't want to risk Georgia's health and promptly completed the admission procedures.

When he returned to her ward after everything was settled, he found Georgia patiently waiting for him.

"Take some rest. You still have a fever!"

Efren approached Georgia and gently touched her forehead. Feeling she was still burning, he looked visibly worried.

But Georgia pulled down his hand and comforted him softly, "I'll be fine once the intravenous injection is done."

"I regret bringing you here," Efren said in a hoarse voice.

Efren lowered himself to half-squat on the bedside, gazing directly into Georgia's eyes.

As Efren heard the description of how Georgia had immediately jumped into the water without hesitation upon hearing the manager's words about him falling into the lake, he felt his heart fill with warmth.

However, he was overwhelmed with fear.

He had also gone into the water to save Freya and knew how complex and dangerous the lake's bottom was. There were many sharp rocks underwater that could easily cause injury.

He wouldn't know what to do if Georgia had been hurt while trying to save him.

So, Efren held Georgia's hand again. His deep gaze showed his sincere affection and love for Georgia.

"Georgia, even if I really encounter danger in the future, don't risk everything to save me. You must believe I will crawl back to your side even with just a breath left..."
