Cole and Lucas rushed to restrain Loretta, preventing her from getting closer to the pool. Sally’s desperate struggles in the water were chaotic, far from the movements of a proficient swimmer.
“Help me! Nate, I can’t swim!” she cried.
Hearing the screams, Oliver, who was on the second floor, hurried outside the balcony. Startled by the commotion, he quickly rushed to
the scene.
Nathan stood silently at the pool’s edge, observing Sally’s floundering with an unsettling calm. Despite her frantic efforts, she had yet to sink.
Loretta’s tearful pleas for help from the butler and Oliver echoed through the air.
As Oliver rushed down, Lucas restrained him.
“Nathan, have you lost your mind? $ally can’t swim. You need to get

Equally distraught and furious, Loretta begged, “Nate, please Sally. She’s in trouble. She can’t swim!”

Nathan spoke calmly, addressing Lucas. “How long has it been?”
“15 minutes, General Morrison,” Lucas replied.
As a doctor, Oliver seethed with frustration at Sally’s plight.

Fool, just sink!
Oliver raged inwardly, on the brink of losing his sanity. He was unable to fathom Sally’s inability to feign drowning.

Loretta glared at Nathan, clenching her jaw. “Get out of here! We do want you here!” she yelled.
Sally hurriedly grabbed Loretta’s hand. “Grandma, no. You can’t chase Nate away. He must have misunderstood me because of Suzanne. I

Sally’s aquaphobia was severe. When submerged in water, her entire body would tremble. She would feel completely powerless,
overwhelmed by intense fear.
Once on land, she would be so weak that she couldn’t even stand, trembling with cold sweat and at risk of fainting.

Loretta promised herself that Suzanne would pay the price.
