Ms. Escape: Marrying to Run, Fighting to Rise Novel

Chapter 328 Smooth Things Over Nina wasn't hungry right then. Holding the fish food, she fed the little fish one pellet at a time, carefully. Maybe she was being too careful with the food, so no fish came to eat. Chloe lifted her up, leaned her over the edge of the pool, and told her to try again. She said, "Nina, feed a little more. Then the fish will come." Nina hesitated for a second, then poured the whole packet of fish food into the water. Even with all the food in the water, the fish still didn't come. Nina got upset. "Fish! Eat!" she yelled, but the little fish still ignored her.

This made the sensitive Nina angrier and angrier-her little face scrunched up in a frown, and she threw a tantrum. "I am so mad." Nina's anger only really worked on the adults at home. These fish didn't pay her any mind. Feeling ignored, Nina leaned her chubby little body forward, staring at the water with no fish, so frustrated she could barely stand it. Chloe, knowing how she got, hurried to calm her down. Nina, don't be mad.

I'll buy two more packets of fish food, and we'll try feeding at another pool." There were several touch pools, and Chloe planned to move to another one. Just as Chloe was about to carry her away, the furious little girl suddenly squirmed. Nina had surprisingly strong little arms, and Chloe, whose strength still hadn't fully come back after her recent illness, lost her hold on her. Nina fell into the pool, and Chloe jumped in right after her without hesitation, pulling her out. Fiona, standing nearby, was frozen in shock.

Felix reacted quickly, immediately reaching out to take Nina from Chloe's arms. Nina had gone under and swallowed some water-she coughed violently a few times, then burst into loud, scared tears. Chloe climbed out right after. Once she was out, Chloe focused on comforting Nina, "ina, don't cry, sweetheart. It's okay now-you're safe. Don't be scared. It's my fault; I didn't hold on tight enough." Staff rushed over with large towels. ||| O 1/3 19.04 Fri, Jan 16 O Chapter 328 Smooth Things Over Seeing how soaked they were, Felix told them quickly, change.

Both of you need to take a hot shower, change He then led the way. .8% Finished here's a lounge here where you can shower and to dry clothes, and dry your hair-don't get cold." In the lounge, Chloe drew a warm bath, washed Nina first, then wrapped her up in a big towel. Just as she was about to dry Nina's hair, Fiona couldn't stand it anymore. She said, "Chloe, let me dry her hair for you. You need to go shower and change right away-you just got out of the hospital. You can't afford to get cold again." Fiona had been friends with Chloe for many years and cared deeply for her.

With Fiona insisting, Chloe hesitated for just a moment then let Fiona gently push her toward the bathroom. Sitting on the sofa alone, Nina had stopped crying, but her eyes and the tip of her nose were still red. She looked really upset, quietly playing with a little rubber ducky she'd gotten from her bath. Fiona said softly, "Nina, we'll just dry your hair nice and dry, okay? Don't be scared." She'd never even blow-dried her own hair at home, let alone someone else's, so she was pretty clumsy when she started drying Nina's hair. Seeing her struggle, Felix kindly took over.

"Fiona, I'll do it. Why don't you go help Chloe find some dry clothes?" Fiona nodded. "Okay. I'll get some from the spa next door." She left to fetch clothes for Chloe. Felix continued drying Nina's hair. Maybe it was because she'd just been scared and missed her nap, but Nina was unusually quiet, staring at her ducky and playing with it quietly. Seeing her silent, Felix thought about talking to her, but his phone chimed with a new message from Brian. He immediately stepped aside and started chatting, no longer drying Nina's hair.

Earlier, he'd told Brian that he still hoped to win Nina offer and get her to spend time with Mia. The thought of actually hurting Nina made him nervou-just thinking about Benjamin's cold look was enough to scare him. Since he didn't plan to go that far, Brian didn't push him, but he did warn him. Brian reminded him that Nina had fallen into the water at his family's aquarium, and that the Grahams cherished Nina more than anything-they might blame him for this accident. His best bet was to make things right with both Chloe and Nina before they went home. 2/3 AdminJ
