"Janelle! Janelle Mills!"

Finally, he carried her up to the shore, but her eyes were closed, as if she had lost consciousness, and her soaked body no longer trembled.

There was a large rain shelter on the pier, and the rain kept pouring, the sound of droplets hitting the shelter was loud and noisy.

Trevor laid her flat, "Janelle! Wake up!" He knelt on the ground, tilted her head to the side, and inserted his fingers into her mouth to clear the water or debris from her nose and mouth.

"Janelle, Janelle..."

While anxiously calling her name, "Wake up, can you hear me?" he didn’t stop the rescue actions.

Trevor’s men dragged Vera Ford over, and Vera stared incredulously at Janelle Mills, who lay unresponsive.

She was still struggling desperately, refusing to come over with the men, "Let go of me!"

Trevor glanced at Vera while rescuing Janelle. His deep, cold eyes revealed a hint of ferocity, and this look sent a shiver through Vera, cloaking her in fear.

Then Trevor withdrew his gaze, "Janelle, Janelle, wake up."

Vera seized the opportunity to escape! Not hesitating to bite the man’s wrist!

"Ah—!" The pain made Trevor’s men howl at the sky but they didn’t loosen their grip, "Damned woman!"

Bang—!

A loud slap landed on Vera’s face, causing blood to trickle from her mouth.

Vera was still struggling fiercely!

The men delivered a swift kick to her abdomen, followed by a punch to her chest, "Be honest!"

Vera was beaten dizzy and dazed.

Trevor shot a hateful look at Vera! No compassion at all. Soon, he bent over to give Janelle mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

His thin lips pressed against hers; such a situation... It was their first kiss.

Needless to say, Trevor was very professional in rescuing people.

During his years abroad, he had helped many people in distress.

Artificial respiration combined with CPR; soon, Janelle Mills, who had fainted due to lack of oxygen, started to respond.

She first coughed twice.

Trevor was overjoyed, a smile of happiness spread across his face, as delighted as a child.

His men dragged Vera over, kicked her legs, forcing her to kneel in front of Janelle Mills.

She stubbornly tried to stand, but was completely restrained by the men, unable to move while kneeling.

At this moment, Janelle Mills slowly opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was a familiar face, with charming features and deep, gentle eyes.

Their eyes met...

"You’ve finally come around." Trevor let out a breath of relief, his smile even warmer and brighter.

Seeing his wet hair still dripping, his whole body soaked, reminded her of the moment he embraced her in the river... Her heart was filled with mixed emotions.

"Here." Trevor lifted her up from the ground.

Janelle Mills snapped back to reality, her gaze intersecting with Vera, who was kneeling on the ground.

Janelle Mills stared coldly at her, while a touch of guilt flickered in Vera’s eyes.

"It was her." Janelle pointed at Vera, not caring how cold she felt being soaked, and said angrily, "It was her who pushed Jocelyn into the river! She admitted it herself!"

"It wasn’t me! I didn’t say anything!" Vera argued stubbornly.

Trevor recalled the scene of Janelle being pushed into the river, his expression instantly changed, glaring at Vera with a desire to kill her with his eyes! 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

But he was well aware of his identity, so he said to his men, "Hand her over to Dr. Shelby!"

"Yes!" His men rudely dragged Vera up, "Let’s go!"

Vera’s face was filled with rage, "Let go of me!" still attempting to escape!

The men increased their grip, "Behave! Or I’ll kill you!" It seemed like they were about to break her wrist!

Trevor picked up Janelle Mills, "Let’s go back to the inn and change clothes." He started walking, worried she might catch a cold.

Once again being carried princess-style, Janelle Mills felt like everything was a dream.
