Chapter 6

"Roxie!"

A tall figure dashed out, diving into the water without hesitation to pull Sylvie ashore.

Sylvie cried, her tears streaming down her face like a waterfall. "Oliver, it hurts so much. Am I disfigured?"

Oliver touched her forehead, his hands trembling as they were covered in blood. "No, Roxie, you'll be fine! I'll take you to the hospital right now!"

Sylvie sobbed, "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have stayed and upset Verena. I thought we were close enough that it wouldn't matter. It's my fault for not respecting boundaries..."

Oliver lifted his head, glaring at me with hatred. "Verena, I never thought you'd be so reckless! Look at your vicious face, it makes me sick!"

"I regret ever agreeing to be with you!"

I stood there, my mouth slightly open, staring at him as if he wanted to devour me. I couldn't understand how we had come to this point.

All these years, I had been meticulous, always putting him first. I had never done anything to wrong him.

All my sacrifices, only to be met with a single word: regret.

He was the one who had changed, the one who had cheated. How could he so righteously claim to regret?

It was absurd.

Perhaps I laughed involuntarily, which only infuriated him further.

He gritted his teeth, stormed over, grabbed my collar, and threw me into the pool.

"Think about what you've done while you're down there!"

He hurriedly left, carrying Sylvie in his arms.

Sylvie didn't forget to throw me a triumphant, flirtatious glance.

But I had no time to care.

I had just learned to swim and wasn't very good at it. Coupled with this new body, I couldn't control it well enough to swim properly.

I sank into the water, the stars and moon above turning hazy as darkness swallowed me, oxygen rapidly escaping from my chest.

My rational mind told me that this body was resilient and I couldn't drown again.

But my subconscious screamed that I was suffocating. In this dark pool, I knew no one would come to save me.

The person who had once saved me time and again had now pushed me into this endless darkness.

I could only watch myself sink deeper and deeper, completely helpless.
