The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 2221

Tracy glanced absent-mindedly at Shaun, not taking his words to heart.

The official shoot began once Melody recovered and felt a bit more comfortable with being underwater.

"Hailey, I've always been like this. As my longtime friend, you should know better than anyone that I haven't changed."

Athena struggled to explain, but Hailey ruthlessly pushed her into the sea.

Having grown up by the seaside, they both knew how dangerous the rising tide could be. Yet, Hailey still pushed her into the water. Athena felt both shocked and betrayed.

Melody gradually relaxed her body, allowing herself to sink into the seawater. She silently counted numbers in her mind. The scene would be over in 30 seconds.

"Eighteen, nineteen…"

Hailey was not as heartless as she appeared. Athena was her most important friend—how could she just watch her being swept away by the sea?

Frantically, she swam toward where Athena had fallen.

"Athena, I'm coming! Hold on!"

Hailey steadfastly moved in Athena's direction, but the water rose dangerously high.

"Twenty-five, twenty-six... Twenty-nine, thirty!"

Just as Melody was about to joyfully surface, she felt a pair of hands tightly gripping her arm. She was already frightened in this confined seawater, and these hands felt like they were dragging her into hell.

She struggled desperately, but she could not break free from those hands.

All the crew members immediately jumped into the water, fearful that a delay of just one or two seconds might cost them Melody.

Unfortunately, as if fate was playing against them, Melody's breathing was so shallow that it was almost imperceptible by the time they pulled her up to the shore.

"One, two, three..." The two safety personnel desperately performed chest compressions on Melody.

Everyone held their breath. Many had only a superficial relationship with Melody, but nobody wanted to witness the passing of a life right in front of them.

Even Tracy, who played the supporting actress opposite Melody, stood silently on the side, unusually refraining from making any sarcastic comments.

However, when no one was paying attention, a sly smile crossed Tracy's lips.

'Haha! I can't believe it didn't take much to drown her. Well, serve her right! It's good that she's gone. Now I can play the female lead!'
