Arabella shouted with might and main. Her entire body was drenched, and she was trembling in the cold water. Tears flew down her face, which made her really miserable.
Emma looked around and could not find any long branches, nor did she have ropes or other tools in her bag. She was thinking about how to rescue Arabella when hearing Arabella's shout, who thought that she was going to die and no one came to save her. "Save me! Please don't go. I'll give you money."
"Mom, let's wait for that guy on the mountain." Stony pulled Emma's sleeves.
Emma didn't say anything. She was thinking about how to save Arabella. If her leg wasn't injured, it wouldn't be a problem for her to save Arabella by herself. However, she was a cripple now and could hardly walk on her own. Besides, if Arabella was left here alone, she would probably be scared and collapse.
Moments later, Emma made the decision. She took off her coat and said to Stony. "Take off your coat."
Stony obediently took off his coat. Emma tied their coats together and then took off her pants. She had given birth to a baby so she did not care about this.
Seeing that it was long enough, she tied the coat to a tree near Arabella and threw her pants towards Arabella. "Catch it!"
However, as soon as Arabella stretched out her hand, she was about to be washed away by the water. She could only shake her head in fear, "No! I can't catch it!"
Emma touched Stony's head and said, "Stony, stay here and shout for help as loud as you can. Don't stop, okay?"
Stony nodded, and then he began shouting, "Help! Help! Help! Help!"
Emma knew that Arabella did not think that she could be saved, so Emma deliberately asked Stony to shout "help" for Arabella, which would relieve her fear and let her stretch out her hands without any worriers.
Emma limped and went into the water. It was very cold and reached her waist. She moved very slowly, with one hand holding her pants and the other grabbing the rock behind her. Finally, when she moved to Arabella, the water already reached her chest. She reached out to take Arabella. "Hurry up and come here. Don't be afraid."
Arabella was trembling and gave her hand to Emma. When she walked out, she was almost taken away by the water. She quickly grabbed Emma's arm due to survival instinct, which almost made Emma fall over. Emma then handed the pants to Arabella, "You go up first, and then throw me the clothes."
Pulling the clothes, Arabella tried to climb up little by little. Her limbs were very stiff and she was uncoordinated due to the coldness. When she finally climbed up, she stumbled to a big rock and sat on it. She looked so weak.
She immediately picked up the pants and threw it towards Emma, but the clothes might have loosened a little as she climbed up just now. The moment she threw it over, the pants was flushed away by the water. Arabella cried out in alarm, "No!"
She still wanted to reach out and catch it, but she failed.
The rope made of the clothes was not long enough. Emma was trapped in the encirclement where Arabella had stayed. Fortunately, there was a tree trunk behind her, so she wouldn't be flushed away.
Stony rushed over and shouted in fear, "Mom!"
"I'm fine. Don't be afraid." Emma comforted him, "You see? The doctor says that soaking in the spring water is good for our health. Now I have time to soak in it. It's fine."
Stony cried out, "Mom, you can't leave me..."
"What are you talking about? I still want to see you get married and take care of my grandson." Emma smiled. She was always patient and gentle when facing children.
Stony finally believed that she would be alright, so he stood to the side and began to shout for help even harder.
Arabella wore a skirt, instead of pants, so it was impossible to tie the skirt to the rest of the clothes at all. She seemed to have sprained her ankle and limped. She had just survived and at the same time, she was scared and worried about Emma. "I'm sorry! I'm going to find someone to save you now!" She shouted at Emma with a trembling voice.
On the other side, Randy also heard the scream. After all, the scream in the mountains echoed everywhere. When Jaquan heard the scream, he immediately rushed down.
They ran towards the scream and they were quite sure it must be Arabella.
When they rushed over at their fastest speed, more than ten minutes passed. They met Arabella halfway, who was crying and shouting, "Save her! Hurry up and save her!"
Seeing that she was safe and sound, Jaquan heaved a sigh of relief. Arabella was shivering from the cold, so he hurriedly took off his coat and put it on her. "What's going on?"
Arabella directly pulled him forward, "Stop asking! Hurry up and save her."
Her feet were bleeding and tears were flowing down her face. She was in an unholy mess. But at this moment, no one laughed at her. Everyone just followed behind her to the waterfall.
"It was all because of me that she..." Arabella said a few words and then she started crying, "I'm sorry. Jaquan, please. Can you save her?"
The large waterfall above gathered downwards and smashed the rocks below, which turned into another waterfall that was a hundred meters long. Emma was blocked by a few trees within the encirclement a hundred meters away. The cliff was just a few steps away from her.
Looking at the clothes tied to the tree, everyone present immediately understood that Emma had probably put herself in it to save Arabella. They couldn't help but shake with fright.
"Mom!" When Stony saw them coming, he immediately walked to Armando and said, "Mr. Armando, please save my mother!"
Armando nodded and took off his coat and shoes.
Emma's hair was soaked in water. Her face was pale and her lips were purple because of the cold. However, no one could see fear on her expression. She was still trying to comfort Stony. "It's fine. Don't worry. I will be up soon."
Armando was about to go down when he saw that Jaquan had already gone down first. Armando stood there holding hands with Randy and others to form a shape of rope. He pulled Jaquan's belt and prepared to pull them back together when Jaquan took Emma.
Jaquan walked step by step to the encirclement. When he got closer, he saw Emma only wearing a sweater. Her entire body was soaked in water, and her legs were exposed. Her white underwear could be vaguely seen underwater.
Seeing his hesitation, Randy cursed, "What the hell are you doing? Save her!"
Jaquan took off his last shirt. He lowered his head and tied his shirt to Emma's waist. Then, he hugged her and shouted to the people behind him, "Pull!"
Emma paused for a moment before saying, "Thank you."
Jaquan had just stood in the water, so he was still warm. When Emma leaned against him, the piercing coldness made him shiver. What exactly was this woman made of? How could she still thank him calmly when she encountered such a danger?
Normally, a woman should be like Arabella, right?
She should be weak and helpless, and in urgent need of a man's protection.
"Please ... please let go." Emma pushed him. She was too cold and kept trembling as she spoke.
They had already been pulled up. Jaquan regained his senses and let go of her. Seeing that Emma was trembling from the cold, he felt somewhat worried. "Well, thank you for saving Arabella. Let me know if you need anything in the future."
"No need." After Emma said this, she limped to Stony. Stony hugged her and cried, "Mom, you can't do this next time. I'm so scared..."
Jaquan felt complicated when looking at her back. Randy took a tissue from his bag and wiped Jaquan's body. He patted Jaquan's muscles and said, "Hey, young man, you're not bad. It seems like you're exercising every day."
Jaquan didn't want to chat with him. He just replied with a few words. Someone had a coat in his bag and handed it to Jaquan. Jaquan thanked him and was about to give it to Emma when Emily took off her coat and put it on Emma.
Jaquan looked at the coat in his hand. He did not go over, but wore it himself.. Only then did he feel an icy chill out of his heart.
