"Anna's father is dead, save Lina first!" This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, and it broke my heart. I never thought that the most absurd joke in life would happen so vividly in front of me.
It was like a merciless bullet that pierced my newly revived heart. I struggled to get up with all my strength, and used my last bit of strength to tightly grasp the corner of Eric's clothes, but I didn't expect that he would kick me down so coldly.
"You've been unconscious for five minutes. Do you know what this means?" His cold words pierced my heart like an ice cone.
" Your father was washed away, but Lina is still struggling in the water!" His words were full of determination, as if my father's life was insignificant in his eyes.
"If you want to blame someone, blame your dad! If he hadn't insisted on coming along, how could the boat have capsized?" Eric's pretended upright posture and his serious and confident look made me feel indescribable nausea.
In my last life, I trusted him so much, but what did I get in return? My father passed away in grief, and I lay in the hospital racing against death after drowning, while he spent the whole night with my best friend Lina buying flowers.
If I had to do it again, I would never let this happen again! I swear! "Please, save my father!" I shouted at the top of my lungs.
" The one who fell into the water is my best friend, she can swim!" I shouted with all my strength, hoping that someone could hear my cry for help.
Eric got anxious and slapped me. I was caught off guard and fell to the ground with a buzzing in my ears.
"Anna, you should know when to act out. Don't question my judgment now!" he roared.
"Are you going to go the long way instead of the near one and let both people drown?" I struggled to get up and retorted with all my strength, "Who of you can take this responsibility? Go save Lina ! Go save her first ..."
I interrupted Eric 's scolding and shouted with all my strength in a louder voice: "If you don't save my father, I will die right now in front of you!" Finally, two search and rescue team members swam towards Lina , and more people decided to look for my father.
Eric glanced at me coldly and walked quickly towards Lina's position. Looking at his impatient back, the last bit of fantasy in my heart was burned to ashes.
When I saw my father again, he was already in a coma after drowning. Just like his last appearance in his previous life, he was lying on a stretcher with a pale face, and the rescue team leader was doing CPR on him. I was extremely anxious and kept calling the emergency number until I heard a voice coming from the intercom.
" Is the ambulance here?" I asked anxiously.
"Only one car has arrived. The next one is stuck in traffic and will be delayed..." the other party replied.
I was about to ask more when I heard Eric's shocked and angry voice behind me: "Lina, you are hurt!"
He squatted down and blew gently on the scratch on Lina's ankle, his eyes full of heartache. The two of them looked so disgusting that it was impossible to look directly at them, but I didn't notice it at all in my previous life.
This time I didn't miss the smug look in Lina's eyes when she looked at me. I felt cold all over. In his previous life, Eric had sacrificed my father's life for just a few scratches!
Soon , the sharp sound of sirens came closer and closer. The ambulance finally arrived! A rescuer and I were about to move forward with my father's stretcher, but Eric approached us with a gleaming look in his eyes.
"Anna, let our dad wait for a moment, the second ambulance will be here soon!" He tried to stop us.
"Lina's leg injury is serious and she needs to be sent to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible," he continued to defend.
Eric blocked the direction of the ambulance, not wanting anyone to see his father on the stretcher. "It's okay! Dad has always been in good health, he's just in a coma!" He said lightly, " Lina is weak and sick, and! Her ankle is still bleeding!"
" Get out of the way! Don't block the road!" I yelled angrily, changing my previous good temper. While Eric was stunned, Lina followed him with a staggering step.
"Qingqing, we've been friends for so many years, and you treat me like this?" She cried aggrievedly, "It's not that I don't want to save your father, it's just a matter of waiting a little while, why is it so difficult?"
Lina's tears fell down in big drops, and her voice became hoarse. Eric raised his hand to wipe her tears, but considering me beside him, he stood there stiffly.
One was my best friend since childhood, and the other was my lover from school uniform to wedding dress. The two of them acted out such a sadistic love drama in front of me! The double betrayal made my heart ache.
"Lina, why are you here?" The round-faced nurse who came over from the ambulance raised her eyes slightly, and my heart was lifted. The person who came turned out to be Lina's colleague in the hospital!
