Chapter 225

　　Catherine's POV

　　"Blake, why don't you listen to me? I told you to leave me alone! Can you just go?"

　　I was miserable. I just recalled what happened that night, and I didn't want to face Blake now. Why couldn't he just leave me alone?

　　Couldn't I have an afternoon to pull myself together?

　　"Cathy, I'm worried about leaving you here." Despite my objection, Blake still stubbornly approached me.

　　I continued to take a few steps back. Just as I decided to leave with Blake, suddenly, my high heels were tripped by something. I lost my balance and fell back.

　　I didn't see it coming. After letting out a miserable scream, I felt a figure rushing over.

　　Within seconds, the two of us fell into the river.

　　Blake could swim, but the river was fast-flowing. I didn't know how to paddle at all.

　　Blake lifted me out of the water the second he fell.

　　I let out a series of coughs, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
