You're So Nervous

"100! 99! 98!"

The countdown began, and shrill cheers came from the crowd. Zachary jumped to the side of the wooden bridge and screamed.

"What's going on? Why hasn't Joseph come up?" Isabella asked anxiously.

"He will succeed if he can hold his breath for 100 seconds under the water."

"Everyone is counting down," Cedric said as he walked forward and let Isabella stand between him and the ship's rail.

"Hold his breath for 100 seconds?"

Isabella exclaimed in surprise. "That's almost two minutes! There will be problems!"

"That's right."

Cedric smiled. "It's more challenging, isn't it? That's a punishment."

Isabella nodded silently. The countdown reached 53.

"He will be fine."

Cedric looked at Isabella's nervous face and comforted her, "If Joseph can't bear it, he'll come up. This won't be dangerous."

"I hope so."

Isabella clenched her fists.
