The Villainess's Oath: I'll Kill The Protagonists

27. Cynthia's curse

Simon pondered for a moment before shaking his head. "Actually I don't know. You may ask my dad."

"I see."

Gronald felt bad for the teenager. He had been paddling the boat for more than an hour. As the oldest person there, he thought of carrying the burden from then on.

"Let me," He insisted. Just like that, the boys rode the boat one after another. Of course, Derek didn't take part in it. He didn't let Heidith ride it too. But others didn't mind it.

Simon assumed that Heidith was the leader. It was right for the leader to rest. As for the other dude, he didn't know what was wrong with him. He was so arrogant and unlikable despite his attractive figure.

Five hours later...

"Wow! Look!!!" Mishila exclaimed. "There are Nuciferas! So beautiful!"

She subconsciously extended her hand to pick one up. Unfortunately, she lost her balance and fell into the water.

"Aaah!"

Splash!

She didn't know how to swim. Her hands hit the surface, begging for help.

Without thinking twice, Gronald tried to jump into the water when Simon stopped him.

"You guys don't know how deep this pond is. So let me rescue her instead," He kindly requested.

Heidith also agreed with Simon and forbade him (Gronald) from jumping into the water.

Gronald could do nothing except nodding his head very reluctantly. He knew he shouldn't delay it further by throwing a tantrum. Plus, what Simon said actually made sense.

Simon easily saved the girl and put her on the boat before climbing up himself.

However, Mishila didn't breath. Her face turned pale and her body drenched in water. It was late in the evening and the water was cold. Gronald quickly took off his coat and wrapped it around her body.

His heart was in turmoil. "Why isn't she breathing?" He questioned, panicked.

Heidith put his ear on her chest and tested her heart beat. Fortunately, it was still working.

"Maybe water is blocking her breathing." Heidith lifted the girl into a sitting position before tightly hitting her back.

"Is it working?" Gronald asked anxiously. He was heartbroken to see her being beaten although the purpose was to save her life.

Heidith frowned. Ugh, It didn't work. What should he do?

There was only one way...

Before he could do it, Simon came forward. "Hey, lemme rescue her."

He made her lay down again before pressing her stomach hard. He did it several times but...

Simon wrinkled his forehead. Why wasn't it working?

"There's only one way," Heidith said with a sigh. "Mouth to mouth method."

Gronald lifted his eyebrows. "Mouth to mouth?"

Heidith nodded. "You should seal her mouth using yours before blowing air into her mouth."

"I know you don't know how to do that. Should I do it instead?" Derek asked. "Heidith has already taught me how to do it."

"No need, Thanks," Gronald stubbornly refused before sealing her mouth using his warm lips.

He followed Heidith's instructions and then...

"Cough, cough."

The girl finally opened her eyes, coughing continuously.

Heidith glared at her as he scolded. "Why did you act recklessly? See, you almost lost your life. Thanks to Gronald, you are alive."

"What?" Managing to stop coughing, Mishila asked in disbelief. "Gronald..."

Her eyes fell on his. "Gro.. I.. I mean sir, did you actually save me?"

Gronald felt a little uncomfortable. He wasn't the only one to take the credit. He helplessly looked at Heidith who gave a wink to him in return.

"Y-yes," he managed to spit out.

"Thank you so much!" She hugged him with tears in her eyes. Her heart again started dancing violently.

"But..." She slowly pulled herself away from him, looking sad. "You guys should have let me die. I'm an orphan. I don't have a family as well as a motivation to continue living."

"Then you'll have a family," Heidith said with confidence. "Someone is going to adopt you... As his sister."

Mishila felt her heart break into pieces. Was it Gronald? He wanted her to be his sister? Then... Then they wouldn't marry eachother in this lifetime. It wasn't appropriate to marry a sister!

She might lose her first love forever.

"Who's that lucky brother?" Derek asked with a smirk.

Heidith smirked too.

"You."
