“Hey, she doesn’t look well. Should we send her to the hospital?” The coach, who had been ignored, suddenly spoke up.
Myrna then realized that there were a lot of people around her, and they all looked relieved.
Joanna finally responded: “I’ve already called emergency services, are you feeling unwell?”
“My hand may be injured.” Myrna moved. She could move underwater just now, but now she couldn’t move at all.
“What happened? Why did you suddenly sink?”
Myrna was silent for a moment: “… There seems to be something wrong with my oxygen tank.”
Joanna thought of something and immediately picked up the oxygen cylinder thrown aside.
There doesn’t seem to be anything wrong with the bottle, but the bottom…
There are holes?!
Although it is only the size of a pinhole, it does exist!
Joanna’s sharp eyes immediately turned to the diving instructor.
“This is impossible! Absolutely impossible! Our equipment is updated every year, and before it is used, it is strictly inspected. There has never been a mistake in all these years!”
The coach looked serious and immediately defended himself.
“Besides, even if there is real danger, we are in a safe area where we can get rescued quickly, and drowning will definitely not happen.”
Joanna got even angrier after hearing this.
“So what you mean is that my friend is lying? If I hadn’t driven the yacht over in time, do you know what the consequences would be?”
Myrna glanced at the coach who was trying to explain. The nervousness and anxiety on his face did not seem fake. It was obvious that he also felt very confused.
Amid the arguing, Myrna suddenly said, “I encountered a shark.”
Joanna: “!”
The coach was even more incredulous: “This is impossible!”
“There are indeed black tip reef sharks outside the safe zone, but they usually only appear in deep sea areas below 200 meters. They are more timid than other sharks and generally avoid humans. They rarely attack humans.”
Myrna said softly: “The camera on the diving suit should have captured everything that happened. If you don’t believe me, you can take out the memory card and check it now.”
The coach was speechless for a moment.
“Oh my god, what happened?”
At this time, the lifeguard who had been missing finally arrived. He looked shocked and seemed to be completely unaware of the incident.
The coach had a dark face and wanted to punch him: “Jin, where were you just now? Why didn’t you rush to rescue him immediately?”
The lifeguard raised his hands in surrender, smiled awkwardly and took two steps back: “Hey man, I just went to the bathroom, so what happened? Why do you all look so serious?”
Joanna was immediately furious: “How dare you say that? Aren’t you a lifeguard? My friend had an accident just now and was desperately gesturing for help, but you were not at the scene. I have every reason to suspect that you were deliberately delaying time.”
In deep diving areas, the importance of the presence of a lifeguard is self-evident. If he was not there and Joanna had not discovered it in time, Myrna might have been… gone!
Of course, the lifeguard would not allow such a big hat to be put on his head. He excused himself with a bit of rogue cunningness: “I just happened to have a stomachache. It seems that no one stipulates that you can’t go to the toilet during working hours. Besides, it is normal to encounter some accidents in the sea. Isn’t your friend okay?”
He shrugged, his tone revealing a sense of indifference that made people grit their teeth.
Myrna began to feel cold, and the sea breeze blew, and she couldn’t help but shiver, “A-choo-”
How could Joanna not see that they were shirking the responsibility? She had originally intended to investigate, but when she heard Myrna sneezing and coughing, she could no longer care and could only send her to the helicopter ambulance.
When she arrived at the hospital, the nurse saw that she was wet all over and gave her a set of dry clothes to change into.
Joanna was worried that there might be something wrong with her hand, so she asked the doctor to check it carefully.
Fortunately, the examination results showed that there was nothing serious. There was no bone injury, just a slight sprain, which would be fine after two days of rest.
After taking some blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing ointment, the two took a sea helicopter back to the hotel on the island.
Joanna was so angry that she found the person in charge of the hotel that provided the diving service.
The person in charge’s attitude was okay, but he kept making excuses and refused to admit that it was the hotel’s fault.
During the argument, Ansel happened to be returning from outside and heard the name Myrna mentioned in the conversation. After learning more about what happened, he learned that Myrna had an accident while diving.
Although he was not at the scene, he was able to piece together the thrilling process from their fragmentary words, and he felt a little scared.
Thinking about how Myrna was so timid, she would always call him when she was alone at home and could only fall asleep listening to his voice. She must have been so scared after just escaping death.
He wanted to say something to comfort her, but found that Clyde had come in at some point and was now surrounding Myrna and showing her affection.
Ansel was angry for two seconds, adjusted his expression, and walked forward.
“Myrna, I heard about what happened just now. The sea is so dangerous. It would be troublesome if there were any undiscovered injuries. Howard Company happened to invest in building a private hospital in Male. Can I take you there for a full body check-up?”
Clyde’s narrow eyes slightly raised, and he said calmly: “The hospital’s test results are on the table, didn’t Mr. Howard see it? This hospital in the city center is not bad, there is no need to waste time re-examination. Myrna has just been frightened, and it is more important to rest at this time, understand?”
“It seems that Mr. Howard is still not careful enough.” He paused, hinting, “You never know what women need most.”
Ansel glanced at the report on the table and sneered, “It’s just a small clinic. How can you be so sure that the test results will be accurate? Howard Family’s physical examination center has first-class equipment. The examination doesn’t even take half an hour. The results seen with the naked eye are more reassuring than anything else!”
Clyde: “I don’t want to argue with you now. If you really want her well, you should let her rest now.”
“Don’t I want to do good for her? But you, with such a self-righteous tone, Myrna is not your employee, she doesn’t need to put your requirements first.”
Myrna watched the two men arguing with each other, from a forced peace to a violent conflict, and she just felt a headache.
Too lazy to continue watching them quarrel, Myrna simply went back to her room.
…
In the darkness, Myrna looked around in a daze. A ball of deep light enveloped her and her body swayed slightly with the light.
She felt a little uncomfortable and tried to raise her hands, but she found that her limbs were heavy, as if they were tied with stones and she had no control at all.
The fear of being dragged down and falling into the abyss at the next second made her sit up in shock.
