Chapter 347 She Will Be Fine

Natalia felt that her heart was about to stop beating together with Anne's.

She raised her head and looked around at the faces full of surprises and curiosities. Tears welled up in her eyes. "What are you waiting for? A kid has fallen into the water! Call the doctor! Please help me call the doctor!"

Only then did someone react. They quickly took out their mobile phones and began to call the doctor.

While Natalia continued to take first-aid measures for Anne, tears stream down her cheeks uncontrollably.

"I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have let you go to the restroom alone. I should have been with you. Anne, I'm sorry."

At this time, Natalia felt extremely guilty. She had never regretted so much in her life. Why did she let the child go in alone? Why did she let such a young child stay in such a strange place alone? She didn't know why Anne fell into the water and why she had been there.

But no matter what the reason was, it couldn't cover up the fact that she didn't take good care of Anne.

Fortunately, because the old Kawn was always sick, there was a family doctor in the Kawn family all year round.

When Natalia had just rescued Anne, someone had already informed the doctor.

At this time, the doctor just arrived.

Along with the doctor, there were also old Kawn, old McCarthy, and other people.

Archie was also here.

When he saw the child lying there and the woman in a mess, his breath tightened and his eyes darkened. Old Mrs. and Mr. McCarthy were also frightened and hurried forward.

But since the doctor was there, they didn't dare to go too close, in order not to affect the doctor's rescue.

"What... What was going on? How could Anne fall into the water? She can't swim. Why did she come here?"

On their way here, the old Mr. McCarthy and the others had already heard about what had happened. At this time, she was so scared that her face turned pale and she was totally at a loss.

Natalia had already been helped up, and her face was also pale. She was in a hurry to save the child, so she didn't even have time to change her clothes.

She was wearing a delicate evening dress, but now it had become wrinkled, and together with her hair, it was stuck to her body, making her look particularly embarrassed. She shook her head and trembled because of the chilly water.

"I don't know. When I arrived, Anne was already in the water. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have let her in alone. I thought... I thought it's okay for her to go into the restroom alone... It's all my fault." Tears fell down uncontrollably again, and its hot temperature slid across her cold and wet face, making her tremble more violently.

Seeing this, Archie pulled a long face, took off his coat, put it on her shoulder and wrapped her up.

"Don't be afraid. The doctor is here. Anne will be fine."

He comforted her gently and held Natalia in his arms.

The cold body suddenly felt warm, as if a taut string was instantly loosened. Natalia's originally stiff body immediately relaxed, and her whole body became powerless in his arms. Only then did old Mrs. McCarthy notice Natalia's situation. She asked with concern, "Natalia, are you okay?"

Natalia shook her head.

Maybe it was because the water was too cold, or she was so anxious just now that her blood was surging.

At this time, she felt dizzy and all her strength was gone. Without Archie's support, she even could hardly stand. The doctor finally spoke.

"The child has coughed out the water and her vital signs are back. It's too cold outside. Move her to the room." Therefore, people around began to move the child into the room.

Archie had been holding Natalia all the time. He could feel that Anne's accident had indeed frightened Natalia. The little woman was trembling, and her hands were so cold, as if she had just been pulled out of the ice.

He asked worriedly, "Are you okay? Can you hold on?"

Natalia swallowed and nodded, "I'm fine. Help me in to see Anne."

Archie knew that Anne wouldn't feel at ease if she wasn't sure of Anne's safety.

So he helped her walk inside.

Anne woke up soon.

There was nothing serious, but the child was frightened and choked by water. She had spit out the water just now. The reason why she did not wake up immediately was that she was fainted because of too much scare.

At this moment, the doctor only used a little skill to wake the child up.

As soon as Anne woke up, she burst into tears and stretched out her hand to look for her mother.

Seeing this, Natalia got rid of Archie's arms and ran to the bed. She sat down on the edge of the bed and held Anne in her arms.

"Anne, I'm here. Mommy is here."

"Ooo... Mommy, I'm so scared. I thought I would never see you again."

Hearing the child's cry, Natalia felt upset. Enduring the urge to cry, she comforted, "Anne, don't be afraid. Mommy is here. Anne will be fine."

After a long time, Anne finally calmed down under the comfort of Natalia.

The doctor checked on her again and made sure that there was no big problem. In case of any danger, he asked someone to make some ginger soup to dispel the cold in Anne's body before leaving. As soon as the doctor left, those people gathered around.

"Anne, what happened just now? Why did you fall into the swimming pool?"

Grabbing the sleeves of Natalia's suit, Anne looked around at the concerned elders in a daze and then turned to look at Natalia.

"Mommy, I'm sorry. I won't play with a little butterfly anymore."

Natalia was stunned.

With a bowl in her hand, she was feeding Anne ginger soup. Hearing this, she put down the spoon and asked curiously, "What little butterfly?"

"It's a beautiful butterfly. When I came out of the restroom, I saw it flying there. I was curious and ran to catch it. But it flied further and further and then to the back door."

"I don't want to let it go. I thought that I must catch such a beautiful butterfly and give it to Mommy, so I chased after it. However, when I ran outside, the little butterfly disappeared. Then I was pushed into the swimming pool by a strong force."

Natalia's face changed.

The faces of the people around them also suddenly darkened.

"What did you say? Someone pushed you down?"

It was old Mrs. McCarthy speaking.

Perhaps it was because of anger that the voice of old Mr. McCarthy was not as gentle as usual, but a little shrill.

Anne was startled. Her little body trembled slightly and looked at old Mr. McCarthy uneasily.

"Great-grandma, what's wrong with you? Are you angry with me?"
