Lorraine resurfaced and dived down over and over, repeatedly dived into the bottom but never found the syringe.
She changed places and continued to dive again and again.
The lake water temperature was very low, only about six or seven degrees. The lake underwater current was turbulent. Lorraine holding her breath swimming back and forth in the lake bottom for a long time, her face became paler and paler, and her lips gradually became dark purple.
She resurfaced again and inhaled. When she was about to dive into the water one more time, Consul caught her and forced Lorraine who had been exhausted and had no strength left to resist up ashore. "Let – me - go!"
Lorraine's eyes were out of focus, her body kept trembling, her dripping wet hair pasted on her face, and her eyelashes were all covered with water drops.
Consul asked angrily: "Is your life so worthless? You can pay your life for a beast, and you can also pay your life for a syringe too?"
Lorraine glanced at him without warmth and said coldly, "I told you to let go, not because I want to jump into the lake again, but because I loathe you very much! I don't want you to touch me!"
Consul's body suddenly stiffened. He slowly let go of his hand.
Lorraine stood up and left with weak footsteps.
Consul said, "I will call a car to take you back."
Lorraine seemed to have not heard, completely ignored.
Consul said in an earnest tone, "I don't know what you mean by the last medicine. But no matter what the medicine is, it can be remake."
Lorraine sneered. If it was so easy to remake, why should Ye Jie risk his life to come to Alicata to deliver medicine? Ye Jie repeatedly emphasized that it was the last one and told her to inject as soon as possible. There must be his reasons.
Consul had been trailing behind her, "Tell me what medicine it is, I will figure out a way..."
Lorraine turned around with an ice cold face and raised her finger to Consul, "Yin Nanzhao, you listen! I don't want to see you again! My business does not need you to worry about. Between us has no any relationship! No any relationship!"
When Lorraine shouted at the top of her voice 'No any relationship', Consul immediately stopped his footsteps.
He looked at Lorraine in silence, his body straightened and isolated like a sword.
Perhaps because there was water all over his body, even the mask was covered with drops of water, his face was no longer as cold and heartless as metal. Instead, it was filled with strange indescribable sorrow.
Lorraine wiped water drops from her face and strode into the icy autumn wind without looking back.
As she walked, her tears streamed down uncontrollable.

In the middle of the night, Lorraine woke up and heard a rumbling sound came from outside. Gradually, the sound became louder and louder and enveloped the entire Sparta Palace.
Lorraine hurriedly rushed out of the room to the terrace and saw a battleship parked in mid-air.
Gosh! What on earth happened?
"Chen Sha!" Lorraine looked around nervously.
Chen Sha appeared next to her. Seeing that she was dressed in thin clothes, he took off his coat and put it on her, "Nothing, it's Consul's battleship urgently came from Little Twin Moon."
The battleship cabin door opened. A small transport plane flew out of the battleship and landed on the Consul mansion's parking lot. Two people hurried out of the transport plane.
Chen Sha glanced at his personal terminal, "Anda wants to see us, probably telling us why."
Lorraine changed her clothes and rushed to Consul's mansion with Chen Sha. Other six dukes were also here.
Anda glanced sharply at Lorraine and said sternly in a regular rhythm, "Consul's condition suddenly worsened and fell unconscious. In order to send Professor An as soon as possible, we could only urgently mobilize by warship. My apologies for disturbed you all."
Everyone looked at each other.
Zi Yan said: "Today I… yesterday morning I had a call with Consul, he sounded nothing unusual."
Anda's wooden face plainly said with a voice like an intellectual brain mechanical sound, "Everybody please don't guess randomly. There was no assassination, no poisoning, and no malicious attack. It was Consul himself accidentally fell into the water."
Bai Li Cang's face was freakish. He asked mockingly, "Accidentally fell into the water? Do you expect us to believe such a ridiculous explanation?"
Feng Lin's expression was also very broken, "Consul's body is not that could not exposing to water at all, but should avoid prolonged soaking in water. He has level 3A strength, even if he accidentally fell into the water, he could quickly recover!"
Anda calmly looked at the seven dukes, "Composing a story required delicate logic. Reality is usually absurd like this."
Everyone was speechless.
Anda said, "Consul left early in the morning and came back just before dinner in the afternoon. He was drenched all over, saying that he accidentally fell into the lake and said nothing else. If you all want to know, wait until he wakes up and you can ask him yourself."
Chen Sha immediately turned his head staring at Lorraine like a sharp sword.
Everyone decided to wait patiently in the living room.
The housekeeping robot rolled around on wheels, bringing hot drinks and snacks to everyone.
Lorraine sat next to Feng Lin and asked in soft voice, "Why can't Consul's body be soaked in water?"
Feng Lin distraught with anxiety quickly replied: "You tell me why? Could a progressing decayed body be soaked in water? Is your head on your neck just for viewing?"
"I thought..." Lorraine's lips moved but she couldn't say anything.
At this moment he was indeed unconscious... Lorraine was confused. What was real and what was fake? Was Yin Nanzhao really sick?
Lorraine was deeply worried thinking when she suddenly heard Bai Li Cang's voice asked, "Chu Mo, how serious do you think Consul's sickness is? He won't die suddenly, right?"
"It cannot be!" Lorraine's voice was sharp and pitch like an overstretched string.
Were you kidding me? Yin Nanzhao had level 3A strength! Even if his body was a bit sick, he would definitely die of old age. But it was almost impossible for a 3A level strongman to be unconscious, and Yin Nanzhao was unconscious now.
She thought that she loved Qian Xu, hated Yin Nanzhao, and didn't care about Yin Nanzhao's life or death at all. But when it's really in front of life and death, she suddenly realized that even if he was not Qian Xu, even if he deceived her, she had no way to accept if he died.
