The sound of the police car was getting closer and closer, and soon it approached the shore of the Lovers Lake, from which two police officers got down.
As soon as Ashley saw the police officers, she stepped forward to them and pointed to Nora as she said, "It's her, it's her! It was Nora who pushed Sarah off the Lovers Lake."
Following Ashley's direction, the police looked over and saw Nora on her knees, concentrating on giving Sarah CPR.
"Go over and take a look." The slightly older male police officer spoke up.
"Okay, Officer Ward," the other policewoman nodded and followed behind Officer Ward.
"What's going on?" Officer Ward asked in a deep voice as he glanced at Sarah lying on the ground.
"She fell off the Lovers Lake and drowned."
Julian just opened his mouth when Ashley interrupted him impatiently, "Sarah didn't fall in the lake by herself! Nora pushed her into the lake, and my classmate and I saw it!"
After saying that, Ashley secretly shot Terence a warning glance.
Terence immediately understood, step forward, and echoed, "Yes, I saw it too. Both of us can testify."
The two police officers looked at each other, and then Officer Ward asked calmly, "Is that so?"
"Of course not." Julian frowned slightly.
"Julian, when you came over, Sarah had already fallen into the water. You didn't even see anything, so how can you say it wasn't Nora who pushed Sarah into the river?" Ashley questioned.
Julian gave a cold snort and pointed at Nora as he said, "Because Nora is trying desperately to save Sarah right now! If Nora pushed Sarah into the lake on purpose, why is she trying to save her now?"
"You can't even tell that Nora is acting? Sarah has already drowned and Nora is trying to get rid of her suspicions by making a pretense of saving her." Ashley sneered and said, "Doing CPR on a dead person, what a joke!"
"Stop yelling. She's not dead and she can still be saved." Nora's eyebrows furrowed as Sarah spat out a mouthful of water under another of her hard compressions.
Ashley was stunned for a moment. There was no way Sarah was still alive, was there?
On second thought, since Sarah was determined to put Nora to death, she would never spare Nora even if she did wake up.
Whether Sarah died or not, Nora would be dead!
Just at this moment, the ambulance arrived and the doctor came over in a hurry with emergency equipment.
"Officer, what is the situation now?" The doctor eagerly inquired.
"The girl fell into the water." Officer Ward pointed to Sarah.
Seeing that the doctor had arrived, Nora stood up, almost exhausted after a long period of CPR.
Her chest heaving violently, Nora took a few hard, deep breaths to get her breath back.
She briefed the doctor on Sarah's condition, "She's been drowning for a bit too long. I've been giving her CPR for half an hour and now she has a faint pulse, but things are still not looking good."
"Okay, I got it." The doctor directed the paramedics who came with him to lift Sarah onto the stretcher, and after performing simple first aid, they carried her into the ambulance.
The ambulance sped off directly to the hospital.
Nora finally breathed a sigh of relief. She had done her best.
As for whether Sarah could be saved or not, it all depended on her fate.
"Miss Smith, can you tell me what's going on?" The female officer's gaze was soft as she looked at Nora.
Intuitively, a girl who saved someone else's life was unlikely to be a murderer.
Nora nodded and just wanted to speak, but Ashley angrily interrupted her, "Didn't I just say that Nora pushed Sarah into the lake and waited until Sarah had drowned before she got her out of the lake and pretended to do CPR on her?"
"Ashley, just shut up!" Nora gave Ashley an icy glare.
Ashley was astonished fell silent under Nora's powerful aura.
"Officers, here's what happened. Today, I came with my colleagues to the Lovers Lake for a commercial shoot. When I came to this area for a scene, Sarah suddenly rushed out and tried to push me into the lake, but she accidentally slipped and fell into it."
Nora told the story in a calm manner.
"You're full of shit." Ashley was afraid that the police officers would believe Nora's words and quickly testified against Nora, "Officers, you cannot believe her. Which murderer would admit to killing someone? My classmate and I both saw it. It was Nora who pushed Sarah into the lake. We are both witnesses."
Seeing that Ashley was adamant that Nora had pushed Sarah into the lake, Officer Ward cleared his throat and said, "In that case, please go to the police station together to make a statement."
...
When Asher woke up, it was already past ten o'clock in the morning.
He opened his eyes and the thing that caught his eyes was a white crystal lamp.
This was not his room!
Asher became alert all of a sudden and looked around with his cold and stern gaze, trying to figure out where he was.
Just then, there was a creak and the door to the room opened.
A girl with a luscious figure and a sexy red silk nightgown walked in charmingly, who was none other than Brittany.
A girl with a luscious figure and a sexy red silk nightgown walked in charmingly, who was none other than Brittany.
"Asher, you're awake? I made breakfast for you." Brittany stared intently at Asher.
"Brittany? How come it's you? What are you doing here?" Asher's handsome face became gloomy as he spoke indifferently.
Brittany smiled like a flower, "This is my room. Where else can I be if I'm not here?"
"Your room?" Asher raised an eyebrow in astonishment.
It must be a joke. Why was he in Brittany's room?
"You were drunk last night and I was the one who brought you back." Brittany wiggled her hips, walked over to the bed, and sat down next to Asher.
Asher rubbed his temples as the memories of last night came back to him.
Yesterday had been the anniversary of his father's death and he had gone to the cemetery to visit his father.
At his father's tombstone, he had indeed drunk a lot and had gotten drunk.
But then... what had happened afterwards?
And he had seemed to see Mia last night...
"Mia..." Asher murmured subconsciously.
Brittany bit her lip and looked at Asher affectionately with a shy look on her face, "Asher, actually... I'm Mia."
"You are Mia?!" Asher's handsome face was taut and his icy gaze fell on Brittany with scrutiny.
Brittany was Mia?
How could that be possible!
Brittany nodded her head without hesitation and met Asher's questioning eyes, "Yes.. We were kidnapped together back in the day. Do you still remember that?"
