Jovan and Lailah were so engrossed in their own world that they didn’t even notice their child being pushed aside. When someone exclaimed, they realized that the child was missing and hurriedly went to look for the child. Ariella recognized Leonel in the water at a glance.
She handed Raul’s hand to Kaleb and jumped directly into the water.
There were already specialized divers in the water responsible for rescue, but Leonel kept flapping around, so it delayed the time.
“Leo.”
She couldn’t swim either, but because the water was not deep, she took a few steps in the water and stumbled her way to Leonel’s side.
Leonel struggled continuously due to the fright, and on top of that, being a small child, he was even harder to catch than an eel.
“Leo, don’t be afraid, you were the most capable.”
“It’s just a small puddle, Leo could easily handle it.”
Leonel seemed to have gained strength, no longer flapping around, but instead trying his best to stand firm. And Ariella also arrived by Leonel’s side, holding the child with both hands.
The lifeguard immediately caught Leonel.
Ariella couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Immediately, a hint of bitterness arose in her heart.
I thought I could completely not care, but at the moment when I saw Leo falling into the water, she was so scared that she almost lost her soul. Without even thinking, she jumped into the water.
Fortunately, Leo was fine.
After watching the lifeguard perform a simple rescue on Leo, and after Leo was able to cry out loud, her tense body slowly relaxed, and she walked slowly towards the shore.
Upon hearing the crying, Lailah pushed through the crowd and, upon seeing Leonel lying on the ground, immediately ran over to embrace him.
“Leo, don’t scare me.”
Leonel’s teeth chattered from the cold.
His eyes, however, looked around in all directions, not knowing who he was looking for.
Jovan also heard the sound and, upon seeing the situation, immediately instructed his assistant to bring a blanket to wrap around Leonel.
Lailah immediately started crying.
“My poor Leo, you were so young, how did you manage to offend someone and get pushed into the lake?”
“You made me so heartbroken.”
The words had a hidden meaning, and everyone began to prove their innocence. They all argued loudly, completely forgetting that there was still a person in the water.
Ariella, on the other hand, didn’t mind at all. After all, she had already gotten used to this feeling of being ignored.

However, the next moment.
A rescue pole fell right in front of her.
“Mum, hold on! Dad and I will pull you up!”
Raul’s voice was filled with anxiety, and his little face was turning red from holding back.

His companion Kaleb grabbed the pole and spoke loudly, “The water is not deep, but it’s easy to slip, hold on tight.”
Ariella also didn’t know why.
I felt that the sunlight at this time was particularly bright.
The white clouds were particularly soft.
Her heart felt as if it had been filled with a warm current.
Tears streamed down.
As she grabbed onto the rescue pole, some long–forgotten scenes suddenly flashed through her mind.
And with the rescue pole, through her hands, she also saved herself who had once been alone in the darkness. Soon, Ariella came ashore, her body soaked through. A gust of wind blew, causing her to shiver involuntarily. Kaleb’s coat was immediately wrapped around her shoulders.
A refreshing scent enveloped her.
She hesitated, unsure of where to place her hands, and even afraid to touch the garment.
After becoming a full–time housewife, Jovan also took care of her own clothes.
Once, Leo fell ill and was exhausted both physically and mentally. While ironing clothes, she accidentally burned one of his shirts.
Jovan was furious at that time, and he kept saying that she was useless, both directly and indirectly.
Later she found out that the shirt was bought by Lailah and Jovan treasured it.
Although Jovan apologized to her afterwards, she still carried the shadow of this incident.
Kaleb’s deep gaze, towering figure resembling a cedar tree, held no trace of dissatisfaction when he looked at her. Even though his clothes had already been wet and dirty.
“You were a woman, and there were more inconveniences for you. Wear it, you
Ariella was taken aback.
don’t have to pay for it, don’t worry.”
She was completely soaked, with her clothes sticking to her body. Although it was not a feudal society, sometimes you can never anticipate the malice of others. It’s always better to be cautious.
I really didn’t expect it, Kaleb, who looks like a typical macho man, is actually so attentive.
“Mr. Cooley, thank you so much. I will wash these clothes and return them to you.”
Kaleb’s face still had no expression.
She just nodded at her, indicating that she didn’t need to be so polite.
Ariella was extremely worried about Leo, so she didn’t say much and immediately bent down to grab Raul.

“Rauly, could you accompany Mom to go see Leo?”
夢得適市
Raul didn’t show any displeasure, instead he nodded earnestly, “Mom, let’s hurry, he definitely wants you to hold him.” Ariella’s heart warmed.
But in the next moment, Raul grabbed Kaleb again.
“Dad, the teacher said that a family is a whole, and you can’t be missing either.”
There was finally a slight smile on Kaleb’s face.
“I would not be a deserter.”
Raul chuckled, “Then you must be… um, the Grand General!”
Kaleb helped them push through the crowd, feeling inexplicably that this description was still very fitting.
He had intended to say something, but upon seeing the child and Ariella’s suddenly pale faces, he couldn’t help but furrow his brow and look ahead.
Leonel was already being held in Lailah’s arms, initially panicking and crying loudly. Now, after being comforted for a while, his crying gradually subsided.
“Leo…”
Ariella hurried forward.
You could hear her voice, but Lailah looked over with an angry expression.
“Ariella, will you ever stop! Leo was just a child!”
Ariella paused, her face frozen with anxiety, not understanding what this meant.
And Lailah had already picked up the child and stood up.
“Didn’t you just feel that I took your place today? But that was Leo’s idea!”
“If it weren’t for your education being flawed, the child would choose me instead and not want you to be involved, right?”
“If you are not satisfied, just tell me directly, it’s okay for me to withdraw directly.”
“But why did you take the opportunity to push Leo into the water? Did you think that by jumping in to rescue him, you could make everything go back to the way it was?”
To be honest, if you had talked to me properly, I would have left a long time ago and would never have bothered you.

”
“But you didn’t take the child’s life seriously at all. Someone like you, doesn’t deserve to be Leo’s mother!”
Lailah’s words just now made the people around her anxious to prove their innocence.
Now, people have been identified and naturally they all looked at Ariella with a face full of complaints.
The empress should do whatever it takes to compete with the mistress, but she should not drag them down. Even Jovan was criticized along with it.
The surrounding whispers made Jovan’s face turn darker and darker.
He suddenly remembered the day Reddie died.
Ariella was a crazy monster, constantly shouting that she wanted to kill Lailah.
