Chatper 1024

Chapter 1024 Fearless Devotion After the ambulance took the people who fell into the lake away, the onlookers dispersed.

Some were busy continuing to dance at the masquerade, some were occupied arranging on–site security maintenance, and others were turned off by the incident by the lake, so they simply left the manor.

Only Maura stood by the lake and stared at the now calm lake.

In her mind, Freya had been pretending all along, trying to make Hayden worry about her and make him commit to marriage.

When he mentioned marriage, Freya miraculously woke up.

Maura wouldn’t show mercy since this despicable woman dared to meddle with her marriage.

In the chilly night breeze, Maura’s malicious expression reflected in the shimmering water...

Even though Efren had wrapped Georgia tightly to protect her from the cold, she still couldn’t stop sneezing once they Chapter 1024 Fearless Devotion returned to the villa.

Moreover, she had inhaled water earlier, so Efren felt more worried.

He quickly changed Georgia into dry clothes and took her to the nearest hospital.

The doctor diagnosed Georgia with a fever caused by catching a cold and inhaling water, so he recommended she stay at the hospital for observation.

Efren didn’t want to risk Georgia’s health and promptly completed the admission procedures.

When he returned to her ward after everything was settled, he found Georgia patiently waiting for him.

“Take some rest. You still have a fever!”

Efren approached Georgia and gently touched her forehead.

Feeling she was still burning, he looked visibly worried.

But Georgia pulled down his hand and comforted him softly, “I’ll be fine once the intravenous injection is done.”

“I regret bringing you here,” Efren said in a hoarse voice.

If he hadn’t brought Georgia to the party, she wouldn’t have Chapter 1024 Fearless Devotion suffered this.

“If I didn’t come, you might have run away with someone else.”

While saying that, Georgia pushed Efren’s hand away and turned her back to him.

Efren quickly held her and said, “Don’t move around, or you’ll end up with another unnecessary injection.”

He remembered how sensitive and afraid of pain Georgia was.

“What’s wrong with getting another injection? It’s nothing compared to the pain of knowing you ran away with someone else at the party,” Georgia retorted, growing more upset.

She got angry with Efren and tried to twist his arm in annoyance.

Efren playfully dodged to cheer her up and said, “I didn’t run away. Miss McBride didn’t mean that... She said Hayden was pressuring her, but she didn’t want to ruin our relationship.”

Georgia said with a stern face, “Then how did you both end up in the lake together? Efren, are you just trying to deceive me like fooling a little girl again?”

“How can I deceive you like fooling a little girl? Would a little Chapter 1024 Fearless Devotion girl give birth to my child? Would a little girl fearlessly jump into the lake to save me when I was in danger?”

Efren lowered himself to half–squat on the bedside, gazing directly into Georgia’s eyes.

As Efren heard the description of how Georgia had immediately jumped into the water without hesitation upon hearing the manager’s words about him falling into the lake, he felt his heart fill with warmth.

However, he was overwhelmed with fear.

He had also gone into the water to save Freya and knew how complex and dangerous the lake’s bottom was. There were many sharp rocks underwater that could easily cause injury.

He wouldn’t know what to do if Georgia had been hurt while trying to save him.

So, Efren held Georgia’s hand again. His deep gaze showed his sincere affection and love for Georgia.

“Georgia, even if I really encounter danger in the future, don’t risk everything to save me. You must believe I will crawl back to your side even with just a breath left...”
