Her Graceful War Song

Chapter 844

Carissa turned and leaped to the opposite side of the bridge before running on the water’s surface with her Lightfoot Skill, desperately searching for Amelia. However, the dark surface of the river offered no sign of the woman.

The onlookers were stunned, especially the four members of the Warren family. They couldn’t believe that Amelia had actually jumped. Benjamin, in particular, knew his wife’s character all too well. She was incredibly timid–she wouldn’t even dare to wet her feet, let alone leap into a river.

When he arrived, he only focused on the crowd, how alarmed Carissa was, and how the Capital Guard was also present. He felt embarrassed, which was why he had shouted at Amelia, He had never considered the possibility that she would actually jump

He knew she was a timid woman–so, why was she brave now? Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

All she had to do was care for Rebecca and manage the household. What made her think she was so unfortunate compared to other women?

Despite being consumed by shock, Carissa followed the current downstream while Violet ran along the riverbank. With how dangerous the water was, timing was crucial for a rescue.

Barrett snapped back to reality a little too late. He jumped down to the riverbank and chased after Violet, but she was already far ahead. At that moment, he finally understood the difference between himself and Carissa and Violet. They acted without hesitation when a person’s life was on the line and could respond in the quickest way possible.

Just then, Carissa spotted Amelia.

Her head was bobbing up and down in the water, and the current was pulling her under. Using the flow to her advantage, Carissa kicked off a few times to gain speed and landed in front of Amelia. The icy water crashed against her, but she managed to wrap her arms around the other woman.

However, holding on to Amelia meant Carissa couldn’t use her Lightfoot Skill to lift them both out of the water. The current was too strong, and Carissa needed to steady herself first.

Violet quickly tore strips from her cloak as she ran. She tied them together, then picked up a small stone to secure the end and tossed it towards her friend. The current pushed the cloak strips down, but Carissa held Amelia with one arm and grabbed the strips with the other, finally finding her balance.

She called out to Violet, “Hold tight!”

Violet immediately tightened her grip on the other end Carissa used the leverage to push herself out of the raging current, her toes skimming the water’s surface. With a quick flip, they landed safely on the riverbank.

Carissa set her former sister–in–law down as Violet rushed forward to them. She struck a few places along Amelia’s chest, but the latter remained unresponsive.

Sitting cross–legged, Carissa asked Violet to support her as she focused on pushing her inner force into Amelia. At the same time, Violet continued to strike the places on Amelia’s chest. After a long moment, they finally heard a cough from Amelia, who then expelled a considerable amount of water.

Both women breathed a sigh of relief. Although they were exhausted, they held Amelia tightly, ensuring

she wouldn’t do anything reckless again.

Amelia trembled with cold, her teeth chattering. Looking at Carissa and Violet, who had risked their lives to save her, tears streamed down her face, leaving her speechless.

Barrett sprinted over. Upon seeing that his sister–in–law had been saved, he collapsed to the ground, his heart struggling to calm down.

He crawled toward them, shadows making it difficult to discern faces, and hoarsely asked Carissa, “Do you realize you could have died doing this?”

“Violet, can you carry her?” Carissa ignored Barrett, focusing solely on Violet.

Soaked to the bone, Carissa shivered as the cold wind hit her and sneezed repeatedly.

Great. When they got back to Hell Monarch Estate tonight, her junior guild member would definitely have something to say about this.

Violet lifted Amelia in her arms and headed back to the bridge.

Benjamin had his hands covering his face, and he sobbed quietly before crawling over to grasp his wife’s hand, tears streaming down his cheeks

“Why did you do something so foolish? Couldn’t we have talked things through?”

Amelia’s jaw trembled as she pulled her hand away, curling up in Violet’s embrace and crying loudly.

Why did she have to resort to this desperate act to be seen?

Amelia knew all too well that surviving only meant returning to an even more torturous existence. Whether it was divorce or death from illness, the Warren family would surely blame her for bringing shame upon them.

Benjamin’s tears were false. Once they returned to Valor Estate, all their faces would change entirely. “Let’s go to Arcane Sanctum!” Carissa said, hugging herself to keep warm against the cold. “She inhaled a lot of water, and I don’t know if it will leave any lasting effects. She should stay at Arcane Sanctum for a couple of days for observation.”

Carissa wouldn’t allow Amelia to return to Valor Estate now. If she did, Amelia likely wouldn’t survive. Even if Benjamin felt guilty now, Rebecca would never forgive a daughter–in–law who had tried to take her own life.
