In Love, Never Say Never

In Love, Never Say Never Chapter 1562

“What’s the matter?” I exclaimed in worry.

Even the guard’s shirt was drenched with water. “When we hurried over, we saw him pulling Ms. Audrey out of the pool. He must have choked on the water while he tried to rescue her!” the guard replied as he continued to pump Shaun’s chest.

Even after the guard completed the first-aid measure, Shaun remained unconscious. In haste, the guard carried him into the house. “Move aside! Contact Dr. Evans right now!” he yelled as he ran.

Since Dr. Evans was the Fullers’ private doctor, he lived in the neighboring villa. After a quick phone call, he arrived in just two minutes.

The sudden incident threw the Fuller residence into a state of utter chaos. Worried about Shaun’s wellbeing, Yuna and James trailed after the guard’s heels.

Although Ashton was keeping Audrey company, I decided to pay her a visit and calm her emotions.

As expected, I heard Audrey’s sobs the moment I made my way upstairs.

After all, she’s still a young child. She wouldn’t be able to control her emotions after such a huge fright.

When I entered the bedroom, Audrey was huddled in Ashton’s arms. Furthermore, there were tears and snot streaked across her entire face.

“Mommy, I want a hug,” Audrey whined when I arrived at the foot of the bed.

I quickly hugged her and patted her back to calm her down. “It’s all right. Daddy and I are here now. There’s nothing to be afraid of,” I murmured to console her.

After a long moment, Audrey’s sobs finally subsided.

Promptly, I noticed that Audrey was still clothed in her wet garments. Afraid that she might catch a cold, I ushered Ashton out and helped her into a new outfit.

“Mommy, how is Shaun?” Audrey asked when I brushed her hair.

It took me a moment before I realized she was asking about Shaun.

“Do you like Shaun?” I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was amiss. I urged Audrey to turn around and face me before I continued, “Audrey, tell me the truth. How did you fall into the swimming pool? Didn’t Uncle John teach you how to swim?”

“Yes.” Audrey nodded with a look of innocence.

“Then how did you drown?”

Audrey pursed her lips as she looked at me pitifully. “Shaun didn’t know how to swim. Although I wanted to teach him, he refused to go into the pool. Hence, I decided to swim alone.” Audrey lowered her head in guilt. “But I swam too far from the edge. In the end, I didn’t have the energy to swim back to shore.”

“So Shaun leaped into the pool to save you even though he didn’t know how to swim. If the guards hadn’t arrived on time, the two of you might have drowned. Audrey, do you know what you’ve done?” Although I didn’t want to reprimand her. The situation at hand was too severe for me to brush it off. I needed to be strict enough so Audrey could understand the consequences of her actions.

However, Shaun’s bravery caught me by surprise. In an attempt to save Audrey, he didn’t even think twice about his own life.

When I chastised her, Audrey hung her head even lower. “I’m sorry, Mommy. I won’t do something like that again…”

Toward the end of her sentence, Audrey sounded like she was on the verge of tears again.
