A Sweet Night The CEO Loves His Wife Ardently

Chapter 144

Seeing this, Bryson's heart was in his mouth.

"Audrey, Audrey!" Bryson shouted at Audrey.

Audrey was exhausted from being washed away in the flood. She tried her best to cling to the trunk and hold the little boy in her arm.

The sound of the flash flood was so loud that she could not hear other sounds. When Audrey suddenly heard Bryson's shouts, she thought that it was her imagination. Since Audrey kept hearing Bryson's voice, she began to hope again and looked in the direction of the voice.

Audrey saw an upright figure standing on the shore.

It was Bryson.

It was about five meters from Audrey's location to the shore.

Although it was only five meters, the current was so strong that people could hardly stand firmly in the water, not to mention to save people.

Seeing that Bryson was about to step into the water, Lance, who followed him, subconsciously grabbed Bryson's arm.

"What are you doing?" Lance asked.

"I'm going to save her!"

"The current is so strong now, how can you save her? The flash flood is gradually receding. Could you wait a while? We'll save her when it slackens."

Bryson pushed Lance away coldly.

"She'll die when it slackens."

"But you will die if you go to save her now."

Bryson did not even look at him. He picked up several vines from the ground and wove them together. He tied one end to a large tree and another to his body.

He grabbed the vine with one hand and slowly walked into the water. Bryson was swept to Audrey by the force of waves.

The current was strong. Bryson clutched the vine tightly so that he wouldn't be washed away.

Audrey looked at him in shock. She scolded angrily, "Bryson, are you crazy?"

Bryson checked Audrey carefully and made sure that she was not injured. He extended his hand towards her and said, "Audrey, give me your hand."

Audrey glanced at the vines tied on Bryson's waist and shook her head resolutely.

"No. The vines can't hold three of us."

Looking at the child in her arms, Audrey gritted her teeth and said, "Help me save Ben first."

"But you..."

Audrey shook her head with a smile, "I'm fine. I can hold on. Please save him first. Come and save me later." Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

Bryson frowned and thought quickly.

Seeing Audrey's resolute gaze, he knew that he could not persuade her. No one could convince Audrey when she insisted.

Bryson compromised.

"Okay. You wait here. I'll come back to you as soon as I get him to shore."

Audrey nodded with a smile, "Sure, I'll be right here waiting for you."

Audrey spoke to the little boy in her arm, "Ben, go with this uncle."

Ben looked at Audrey, "What about you, Auntie?"

"After uncle gets you to shore, he will come to save me."

"Okay!" Ben nodded.

Audrey handed Ben to Bryson. Bryson held Ben and glanced at her. Then, he tightened the vines and walked back with great effort.

Bryson got Ben to the shore soon.

When Audrey was waiting for Bryson, she suddenly noticed that the trunk she clung to is cracking.

It was not good. The trunk was breaking.

Bryson had just got Ben out of the flash flood at this moment.

Audrey tightly clung to the trunk and was so anxious.

She prayed that the trunk would not break now.

Bryson had rushed into the flood.

Before Bryson reached Audrey, the trunk broke apart, and Audrey was absorbed into the flood.

Lance, who stood on the shore, freaked out.

Then he saw Bryson grabbing onto Audrey's hand and standing in the flood.

Before reaching Audrey, Bryson had noticed that the trunk had broken and untied the vines in advance. He jumped forward and grabbed Audrey's wrist before she was washed away.

However, two vines that were bound to the tree trunk were broken due to Bryson's action.

Because Bryson and Audrey were held by vines, another vine broke soon.

Audrey's eyes widened in horror when she saw this, "Let go of me. Otherwise, we will all die."

Bryson's stared fixedly at Audrey with his red eyes and said firmly, "No."

Audrey was extremely frightened.

If it went on like this, they would be washed away after all vines broke. They would die.

Thinking of this, Audrey began to struggle, wanting to get rid of Bryson's hand.

Another vine broke soon and the rest vines were cracking.

By the time that Bryson and Audrey were about to be overwhelmed, the vines were suddenly tightened.

Bryson looked up and saw that Lance had grabbed the vine.

Lance shouted at them, "Stop arguing. Get out of the water and climb ashore."

Hearing Lance's reprimand, Audrey was slightly surprised. Then she grabbed Bryson's hand.

They were slowly pulled to the shore.

Lance and Bryson helped the exhausted Audrey climbing ashore and Lance pulled Bryson ashore afterward.

The trunk that Audrey had grabbed had been washed away.

They sat on the bank and leaned against a trunk behind to take a rest, watching the flowing water.

Lance looked at Bryson and Audrey.

Lance thought that he liked Audrey. He realized that he thought about his safety just now.

Bryson, on the other hand, did not care about his safety but went to save Audrey at the critical moment.

If they waited till the flash flood receded, Audrey would probably have died by now.

Bryson saved Audrey.

How could Audrey choose another man? Even he and Bryson were rivals, Lance knew that Audrey could never choose him.

He had lost.

"You are crazy! Both of you are crazy" Lance muttered.
