Devoted Love:The Billionaire's Precious Wife novel Chapter 523

Chapter 523: Chapter 523

The chopper was hovering just above the lake when Rosemary, without a second thought, ordered the cabin door to be opened and jumped out.

Joyce and Mavis were sinking fast, weighed down by rocks.

Rosemary swam with all her might toward the deep, soon spotting the familiar figures of Joyce and Mavis sinking further into the lake.

Both Joyce and Mavis were bound by ropes, their struggle to stay afloat becoming more and more futile as they held their breaths for what seemed like an eternity. Would they die here?

Tears sprang to Joyce’s eyes. She had no understanding of how she ended up in such a situation.

Her distress caused her to involuntarily gulp in a mouthful of water. The suffocating feeling overwhelmed her. She was desperate for help—anyone to save her.

Just when she had given up hope, she felt a tug on her rope. She widened her eyes to see Rosemary!

Rosemary was cutting the rope that bound her to the rock, but the water slowed her movements.

Tears streamed down Joyce’s face. She couldn’t believe Rosemary was risking her life to save her.

She wanted to cry out but held back, fearing it would make their rescue more difficult.

Suddenly, several people dived into the water, swimming toward them.

The fastest swimmer was Romeo, who helped cut the ropes off Joyce and then tried to pull Rosemary to the surface. But Rosemary was insistent on saving Mavis.

Meanwhile, Romeo’s men swam toward Mavis, cutting her ropes and pulling her away from the lake bed.

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, they all managed to reach the surface, gasping for fresh air.

Joyce was a whirlwind of feelings, her head spinning.

"Let’s get to shore first," Rosemary said, guiding her toward the shore, with Romeo close by, offering help when possible.

Back on solid ground, Joyce was shivering from the cold, and Mavis—who had swallowed a lot of water—was still unconscious.

After chest compressions from Rosemary, Mavis coughed up water and clung to Rosemary, crying uncontrollably.

"Rose," Mavis sobbed, seemingly oblivious to the others. "Those men were so cruel, tying rocks to us, punching us. Joyce’s face is all swollen."

Looking at Joyce’s swollen face and broken lips, Rosemary felt a pang of sympathy.

"Don’t worry, we’ll get back at them for this."

"Who were they? They wouldn’t tell us anything—just pushed us toward the lake. I even scraped my knees, and they just grabbed me and hit us," Mavis cried her heart out.

Rosemary comforted her like a child, speaking softly, "It’s over now. Let’s get out of here."

"Thank goodness you came. Thank you for saving us." Mavis clung to her, crying.

Romeo noticed the deep trust and affection the girls had for Rosemary. And the way she comforted them was so gentle.

"All right now, it’s okay. Don’t cry." Rosemary finally managed to soothe them.

Joyce threw herself at Rosemary.

"Rose, you came just in time. Thank you for saving us."

If Rosemary had been a minute late, they would have drowned.

After they had calmed down, Rosemary led them to the helicopter.

Romeo draped a blanket over Rosemary, helping her dry her hair.

"Be careful not to catch a cold."

"I’m fine."

"First, let’s get you to my place to change your clothes. You don’t want to catch a cold."
