Julianna coughed a few times and was almost exhausted. She sank into the water several times and choked a few mouthfuls of seawater.
Even though the buoyancy of the water would help her, it was still difficult for her to drag such a tall man. The two of them floated on the water and were only about 32 feet away from the shore. If Julianna swam back to the shore alone, it would not even take a minute. But now, she dragged Edwin and exhausted herself for more than ten minutes before struggling to swim to the shore.
Julianna coughed.
She staggered up the steps on the shore, her entire body almost collapsing.
However, Julianna could not drag Edwin by herself, nor could she completely drag him ashore. She could only drag his upper body onto the steps so that he would not suffocate.
"Edwin, wake up..." Julianna kept coughing.
Edwin didn't lose consciousness, but he could not open his eyes no matter what.
