Chapter 66
The blue sea had become dark and horrible under the night sky, especially in the heavy rain and wind.
A young man, about eleven or twelve years old, was calling for help when floating in the sea with driftwood, suddenly seeing a little figure falling from the ship.
He instantly dived into the water and pulled her up before she sank. "Don't move!" He told the little girl who struggling hard. If she kept doing this, both of them would die.
He put Tracey out of the water. "Dad, mom, help me!" She cried loudly.
"Don't move, or you and I will both die. Hold my neck, relax, and wait for help." The young man said.
Tracey sniffed. In such a dangerous situation, the person who was just a few years older than she was so calm and cool.
"It seemed that it was he who saved me just now." Tracey thought. In the darkness, she could not see his face clearly. She could only listen to him and hold his neck.
"Be gentle, little one, are you going to choke me?" The teenager almost couldn't breathe.
Tracey was a little girl who had never experienced danger. How could she know it was serious? It was just her instinct to survive.
She felt that this young man was her only driftwood so she was wrapping around his body like an octopus.
"Relax, don't be nervous. As long as you relax, you won't sink." The youth took a breath and comforted her in her ear.
Tracey slowly followed his guidance and found that her body really didn't continue sinking. She gently hugged his neck and didn't dare to let go.
The boy put the wood in front of her, "Go up." he said. This wood could only bore Tracey's little body.
Tracey went up to the driftwood with his help, but he only had a corner of the driftwood to grab.
"Little girl, how did you jump down?" In such a big storm, all parents would take good care of their children. How could she be allowed to not staying in the room?
"Because my dad said it was too dangerous and he didn't let the crew save you. I was anxious and said if you don't save them, I jumped, but I didn't expect..."
The girl's angry face looked cute in the lightning. Thunder was roaring.
"Mom, I'm scared." She was so scared that she jumped down from the floating wood and quickly hid in the young man's arms.
She could only hear the thunder in the room just now. In addition, the good atmosphere in the room made her not afraid at all.
But now, she had experienced such a shocking scene on the broad sea, not to mention a child, even an adult would be frightened.
Tracey held the boy tightly. He grabbed the driftwood with one hand and held her waist tightly with the other hand. He corrected her and said, "I'm not your mom."
"Brother, I'm afraid..." Until this moment, the little girl burst into a strong fear.
"What are you afraid of? See, they have put down the rescue ladder and will soon save you. As long as I am here, you will be all right."
Although she didn't know him and couldn't even see his face clearly, his voice made her gradually calm down.
Under the dangerous situation, things could get worse if they were panicked.
But If there was one person who calmed down first, others would be feeling at ease one by one.
"But I'm still afraid." Tracey was so scared that she didn't dare to open her eyes as if the lightning could strike her at any time.
"If you're afraid, don't open your eyes. I'll hand you over to them safely."
"Miss Xia, give me your hand." A lifeboat appeared in front of them, Tracey opened her eyes.
"You must save him, or I won't go up."
The boy looked at her, she was trembling due to fear, still seizing his clothes tightly with her fingers, but was worried that he would not be saved.
"Such a stubborn girl." The boy smiled. Her eyes might be already turning red with tears, he thought.
"Mr. Xia has told us to save them all! Miss Xia, come here quickly." The crew was a little helpless, "Are nowadays little kids have been so difficult to deal with?" He thought.
"I don't believe it, only if you pinky swear on it!" In such a situation, she even wanted to make a pinky swear to someone!
The adults and the children were in two opposite worlds. When being put in danger, adults would only want to run as far as they could.
But the children seemed didn't know what danger was. They even thought of making a pinky swear under extreme situations. Everybody was amused by her instead of being scared.
"Okay, make a pinkie, give me your hand." The crew saw Tracey reached out her hand and grabbed her quickly.
"You're lying!" Tracey cried. But the young man had climbed onto the boat before Tracey finished crying.
"Little bunny, don't cry."
"Brother...It's good that you came up. Sir, please go to save other people." Tracey immediately burst into laughter with tears.
"Yes. Miss, please board the ship with this man first. I'll go to save others immediately."
A crew carried her and climbed up the ladder. Tracey still looked nervously at the young man below.
"Brother, please come up, you must come up."
"Okay, make a pinkie." The young man imitated her actions just now and stuck out his little finger to her.
When the two fingers of them crossed, Tracey was relieved. As soon as she stepped on the deck, she was held in arms by her mother.
"Little Tracey, you silly girl, please never ever scare me!" The woman's eyes were already with tears.
"Your mom almost had a heart attack just now. Fortunately, you are fine. Go in and change your clothes." Ben was relieved to see that Tracey was returned safely.
"Dad, just now when I fell into the sea, it was a little brother who saved me. If it was not because of him I would have been eaten by the sharks! I want him to come up here, otherwise, I won't be relieved."
Tracey said seriously and she wiped her mother's tears. "Mom, don't cry. I'm fine. I was not hurt at all."
"Silly girl."
In fact, everybody had witnessed his bravery. If he hadn't saved Tracey instantly and gained more time for the rescue, she might have died.
"Brother, you are safe now." Tracey shouted cheerfully. A teenager had just successfully get on the deck. His body all wet, with water kept dripping on the ground.
Ben looked at this calm teenager. He was very gentlemanly in clothes. At a glance, it could be telling that he was from a very rich family.
"Thank you for your help, sir." The young man's voice was not as gentle as just now in the sea, but with a sense of distance.
"Brother, your clothes are all wet. Go and take a hot bath, or you'll catch a cold." Tracey looked at him nervously.
The young man looked at this drenched little girl. "She was so special from others." He thought.
"I am sorry, but may I disturb you for a while? Our ship has fallen, so I don't have a place to stay." the young man asked Ben politely.
"It doesn't matter. You just saved my daughter, and we should thank you." Ben was much more polite.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
