Chapter 85 - The Greatest Scare

Present-day,

"Luna," Brian calls her name from the deck when he feels like Luna taking more time inside the boat. Looking at the girl who's spacing out while looking at her big t-shirt, he decides to go inside and pat on her shoulder which makes her flinch a bit.

"Uh...What?" Luna turns her head around and looked at the man behind her, a bit startled.

"Are you okay?" He looked at the plain t-shirt on her before he goes to his bag and took out another shirt he brings. "Use mine." He gives her his t-shirt to exchange it with the one she's wearing right now.

Luna dumbfoundedly looked at the black shirt on his hand for a few seconds before she nods her head. "Thanks…but, it's kinda hot right now. If I go swimming with the black shirt, I suppose it only makes me hotter than now." Luna smile and give back his t-shirt before she looks down on the t-shirt Raymond gives her.

It is a white shirt and a bit bigger to cover until her thigh, so it's kinda okay for her.

Brian looked at her with a surprised expression, "Are you sure?"

Luna blinks her eyes a few times. "Yeah.."

Chuckles, Brian pats on her head, "You're not changed at all Luna. But, as long as you comfortable with it…I'm okay."

Luna scrunches her eyebrow and follows him from behind to the deck. When she's out, Raymond and Alex already down on the sea. He guarding Alex and help him to hold his body to keep afloat on the water surface.

Brian then went to Lily and extended his hand to his little princess. "My lady..let's go, and hold your breath" He smiles when Lily jumps into his embrace and hug tightly on his neck.

"En!" Lily squint her eyes when Brian jumps down to the water before they resurface back. "Fuwahh!" Lily gasps and opens her eyes to see that they already down on the sea, still hanging on his daddy's neck while Brian holds her with his firm arm.

"It's alright now. Put on your goggles and snorkel. I'll hold your body." Brian said and wait for Lily to do what he asked her.

After Lily put on her goggles and snorkel, Brian brings her to see the beauty under the water. On the other side, Alex also enjoying his snorkeling activity with Raymond. They took a lot of pictures together before Luna swims to them.

"Alex, come with mama. We'll see the other reefs in that bay, okay?" Alex then nods his head and slowly grab Luna's hand before they both went to other sides.

Raymond also following them from behind. "Well, I want to see it too," he said which makes Luna turn around, looking at the man while squinting her eyes.

"Don't you have other things to do?"

Raymond shrugged his shoulder. "No, I don't. I'm on my vacation." Still swimming toward them.

"Urgh.." Luna grunting and went swimming to the side while holding Alex's hand.

Dive in the water, Raymond swim under them and took a picture of her secretly from under. 'Nice!'

He then pops up from the water surface, right in front of Luna and startled the girl.

"What did you do just now?" She averts her eyes to the camera on his hand. Suspecting him do something improper while he's diving earlier.

Avert his eyes, he stammering says, "N-nothing."

'A-ha! I saw your guilty's eyes! ' She then tries to snatch his camera using her other hand. "Give me your camera."

"Whoops!" Raymond immediately moves his hand and hides his camera behind his back. "Sorry honey..this is my treasure." He winks his eyes at her.

"Hey! You!" Luna splashing the water to his face and tries to snatch the camera again from behind his back, which resulting Alex's to move aside, along with her.

He feels like a doll right now. Being drag here and there. Other people also look at them and some just ignore them by doing the activities.

While they were 'playing' around, suddenly someone who did not notice them from on the water surface, hit Luna's body and she slips Alex's hand. And because of the current, Alex was dragged a bit far and his life jacket clip gets detached before he drowned down the sea.

"Wait! Where's Alex?" Raymond suddenly stops and lets Luna hit his body before he looks at her.

Luna's like wake up from a dream when she gasps and saw a life jacket without the owner floating on the water surface.

"Alex!!" She dives in, but she saw Raymond already swim to under the sea, like fetching something before he swims back to the boat.

Worried, Luna also swims back to the boat. Brian and Lily at the water also returned back when they saw Raymond carry the unconscious Alex to the boat.

Luna hurriedly climbs the ladder and went to the deck where Raymond already performing CPR to Alex.

"Alex! Wake up!" He pumps Alex's chest a few times before he tries to blow air to his mouth while his face already turned a bit pale.

The greatest scare of him right now is the thought of losing the only child he had. "Come on, Alex. Breathe!"

"Alex, wake up baby..please.." Luna already crying at the side. When Brian and Lily went to the deck, Raymond still pumping Alex's chest.

"Luna, calm down." Brian hugs her from ventilating.

"Mister Ray, should I-" Jamal also panic went to the boat and ready to start the engine.

"Take my phone and dial on my emergency list and call for a helicopter. We'll bring him to the hospital." Raymond cut Jamal's word and give him instruction instead.

Jamal did not wait long and he immediately took the phone on Raymond's backpack and start dialing an emergency number.

"Hello, please state your emergency-"

Cough! Cough! Cough!

Alex panting while vomiting a lot of seawater from his mouth. It's hurt and salty. His chest feels like something heavy just drops on him. He squeezes her chest and turns his body to the side.

"Alex!" Luna immediately hugs her while crying on his shoulder while Raymond sucks a big breath when finally Alex breathing again.

He almost got a heart attack when Alex is drowned and now..he could feel a bit relief before he turns his head to Jamal and shakes his head. Canceling the instruction he gave him before.
