She finally stopped struggling. She swam toward the edge of the pond.
The pond was too cold. It felt like she was going numb and she wanted to quickly get out of the water.
However, when she swam to the edge of the pond, Chris pressed down on Tian Yunxin"s head with his foot.
Glub! Glub!
She panicked and struggled, her hands flapping and splas.h.i.+ng water on Chris"s shoes and trousers.
Chris looked down at his wet shoes and trousers, his devilish brows showing a hint of displeasure.
The helper at the side didn"t dare to speak out or step forward. She lowered her head, apparently not surprised by the prince"s behavior.
Tian Yunxin was greatly shocked. She had never thought that the gentle and cultured Prince Chris would treat her like this. The pond was already so icy, and now she was even more frightened because she was afraid that he was going to kill her.
After being forced to drink a few mouthfuls of water, her head was finally released.
Though Tian Yunxin knew how to swim, she no longer had the strength anymore. She could only rely on her last ounce of willpower to live.
Chris released her and he shot an icy look at her as if he were looking at some trash.
He said coldly to the helper standing at the side, "Pull her up and call the police!"
With that said, he turned and walked toward the castle.
After hearing his instructions, the helper went to pull up Tian Yunxin.
Tian Yunxin s.h.i.+vered violently. She laid down on the ground and curled up in a ball.
The helper didn"t dare cover her with a blanket but upon considering that she might freeze to death, the helper had no choice but to carry her back to the castle with other helpers.
Along the way back, the cold wind made Tian Yunxin so cold that the helpers carrying her thought that she had already died.
She had always lived a pampered life since she was young. She never needed to experience hunger or cold so she never knew that freezing to death was such a frightening experience.
However, she was about to experience even more frightening things later on.
In the castle.
Ye Sijue carried Annie inside. The helpers responded quickly. They had already prepared hot water so that he could put Annie in.
Annie lay in the hot water and felt a lot better. Her delicate little face regained its color.
She looked up at Ye Sijue and said hoa.r.s.ely, "I"m feeling much better. Go and change your clothes. Your clothes are still wet."
"I"m fine." Ye Sijue gazed deeply into her eyes and said in a deep voice, "I"m sorry… It"s my fault."
Annie shook her head. "This isn"t your fault. It"s hers…"
"No, it"s my fault." Ye Sijue took a deep breath, his eyes carrying guilt. "I knew that she was going to do something bad to you, but I didn"t do a good job of guarding you."
This wasn"t the plan that Tian Yunxin had initially talked about but Ye Sijue had never intended to cooperate with her.
Everything happened so fast that he couldn"t protect Annie in time.
He thought that everything was his fault.
If he had told Tian Yunxin not to hurt Annie none of this would have happened.
