Bab 131: Trance

"Adeline!" Within a fraction of seconds, Theodore's mind was filled with ghastly thoughts. An image of Adeline's lifeless body on his arms flashed before him.

Theodore dashed towards the bathtub, grabbed Adeline's arm, and pulled her upper body out of the water.

Adeline gasped for air and then coughed violently. She was underwater for a little too long. In the hopes of drowning her sorrows, she almost drowned herself.

Seeing Adeline breathing and moving, Theodore let out a huge sigh of relief and bend down on his knees by the side of the bathtub. And in the next moment, he pulled Adeline and pressed her cold bare body against his warm chest. He enveloped Adeline in his arms and kept on holding her tightly.
