Chapter 1
When I was four months pregnant, my husband's white moonlight Michelle came to Maldives to dive and asked me to accompany her.
Thirty meters underwater, Michelle cut my arm with a Swiss knife and pushed me into the shark's bloody mouth. I survived the water with my diving skills, but Michelle was buried in the sea.
I thought my husband would blame me for not knowing the truth, but he hugged me instead and said "Marie, I hope you and the child are okay."
I was moved to tears. He accompanied me in the hospital to wait for the birth and took care of me attentively.
But on the day the child was born, Zayn drowned the child in the water with his own hands. I was locked in a shark cage in the deep sea by him and died.
Before the signal disappeared, his ferocious and cruel curse came from the intercom, "Don't you like to drag Michelle to watch sharks with you? I'll let you watch enough!"
When I opened my eyes again, I was back to the bottom of the sea.
——
There was a tearing pain on my arm and blood spread in the seawater. A few sharks not far away smelled the blood and turned around to attack us.
The fear instantly woke me up from the tragic memories of my previous life.
I ignored Michelle's smugness under her goggles and forced myself to calm down.
In my previous life, I tried to pull Michelle upwards to escape and then when the shark rushed towards me with its huge mouth, I was pushed by Michelle into the shark's sharp white teeth.
In this life, I chose to pull the rope on Michelle's diving suit and drag her to the shark cage not far away and pressed the rescue button on the diving suit.
A hissing sound came from the radio headset--
A rescue team member said nervously, "Zayn, put on your gear quickly, your wife is sending a rescue signal in the shark viewing area!"
Zayn said lazily, "Don't worry, Marie likes to make a fuss the most. Last time, she just rubbed against the rock and oozed a few drops of blood and she sent a signal. It's a waste of rescue resources."
The team member's tone suddenly rose, "It's over! It's a signal of a shark attack! Michelle is also underwater!"
"Dive immediately!" Zayn's nervous voice was trembling.
Michelle gave me a provocative look, raised the Swiss knife in her hand to me and threw it into the deep sea. But soon she couldn't laugh anymore.
The bloody smell attracted three adult tiger sharks, they rushed towards the shark cage and Michelle and I were knocked into the cage.
During the roll, my lower abdomen hit the iron railing heavily and a mouthful of fishy and sweet blood surged and I gritted my teeth and swallowed it back.
Zayn's figure soon appeared above us and I instinctively gestured to him, "Danger! Evacuate!"
But he hesitated for a moment and then swam towards us resolutely.
After turning sideways to avoid the full force of the tiger shark, Zayn got into the cage. Without even looking at me, he hugged Michelle tightly.
He originally brought three oxygen masks equipped with microphones and just lost one when the shark hit him. He put the remaining two on Michelle and his head without hesitation.
"Michelle, you will be fine, I'm here, I will definitely protect you to the shore safely."
The underwater signal was actually not good, but every word of Zayn rang heavily in my ears.
Zayn finally looked at me coldly and I pointed to my stomach and made a distress gesture to him again. My lower abdomen was dull and painful, as if a big hand was tearing it.
When I escaped from death in my previous life, Zayn chose to send me to the hospital first for the sake of the child in my belly. But when he returned, his teammates told him that Michelle was killed by a fish and her body was torn to pieces. He said to me that it was not important, it didn't matter, as long as we were safe.
Chapter 2
But when I gave birth to the child, he cruelly drowned both me and the child.
"That was the person I held in my heart, I couldn't bear to touch her and you dared to kill her! Don't you like to take Michelle with you to watch sharks? I'll let you watch enough in the sea!" Zayn roared with bloodshot eyes.
Because he was the father of the child and my husband, he pretended it was an accident and escaped punishment.
This time, I just wanted to avoid him and Michelle and avoid a tragic death. But he only glanced at the bleeding wound on my arm and threw me a tourniquet.
"Marie, I really can't understand you. You are jealous of Michelle and I don't care about you! Now you are willing to hurt yourself to kill Michelle?"
In the deep sea, the tiger shark's white teeth were only 2cm away from my face and my hair on my body trembled uncontrollably.
The tiger shark lost its patience and instantly bit the iron cage and threw it hard. Michelle was so scared that she sobbed. I couldn't hold the railing and hit the other side hard. My back was burning.
Michelle's intermittent voice came from the headset, "Zayn, if we die here today, I will be buried in the sea with you and I will have no regrets..."
Zayn choked, "I won't let you die. Even if I die here, I will send you out first..."
Zayn grabbed one of my arms and handed me the iron cage. The tiger shark really stopped hitting me, but took a quick bite, but it didn't taste good, so he let go.
When the teeth cut into my arm, my skin and flesh were instantly torn apart and the pain rushed straight to my head. I couldn't stop crying and I was about to lose my aqualung.
Zayn held Michelle tightly in his arms, using his body as a human shield for Michelle.
"You should solve the trouble you caused! Stop your dirty blood quickly."
The diving mask clearly covered most of Zayn's face, but I seemed to see his disgusted eyes. But he forgot that I no longer had both hands to tie the tourniquet.
Other rescue team members finally came with tranquilizer guns and aimed at the tiger shark.
Michelle's oxygen consumption was too high because she couldn't adjust her breathing and her oxygen tank kept alarming.
"Zayn, Marie is the fastest to float up..."
Zayn swam towards me without hesitation, dismantling my oxygen tank and installing it on Michelle in my pleading eyes.
His cold voice came into my ears, "Marie, you deserve it. You swim fast, hold your breath and go up first. I will settle accounts with you after you go up!"
After that, he held Michelle and swam up without looking back at me.
The rescue team member next to me also thought that I was responsible for the accident. He swam towards me impatiently and quickly took me to the shore. No one took care of my extreme physical condition.
After landing, I began to have dense red rashes on my body, which were extremely itchy. This was a symptom of decompression sickness. The bites on my arms and the bruised abdomen hurt so much that I couldn't make a sound for help.
My consciousness gradually blurred. Finally, when the ambulance arrived, I couldn't shed a single tear in my eyes. They had already dried up on the seabed.
Zayn's eyes were red and he pulled the doctor and said, "Save Michelle first!"
The doctor shook his arm away, "I can understand your feelings as a patient's family member, but she has no serious injuries and can wait for the next car! This lady obviously needs help more!"
The doctor pointed to me soaked in blood in the corner.
Zayn grabbed the doctor's stretcher and refused to let go. He pointed his other hand at me and said, "The one lying there is my family member, but she is the cause of the accident. I ask the hospital to save the victim first. I will be responsible for any consequences of delayed treatment for my wife."
Chapter 3
The doctors and nurses around him looked up at him coldly, but Zayn pursed his lips and refused to let go. The doctor had no choice but to send Michelle away first. Zayn followed Michelle's ambulance without looking back.
Suddenly, a series of sympathetic eyes fell on me.
"This man is too righteous. Although his wife is the cause of the accident, it is too cruel."
"Isn't that the most handsome captain of the diving rescue team? God, I even promised to marry him at that time. Fortunately, God didn't help me."
"Don't talk nonsense. Maybe his wife really did something unforgivable..."
The voice in my ear gradually faded and I fainted before the ambulance arrived.
After that, he held Michelle and swam up without looking back at me.

Michelle pretended to remind him, "Zayn, your wife is still pregnant."
The cold-blooded doctors and nurses around him looked up at him, but Zayn pursed his lips and refused to let go. The doctor had no choice but to send Michelle away first and Zayn followed Michelle's ambulance without looking back.
Suddenly, a series of sympathetic eyes fell on me.
"This man is too righteous. Although his wife is the cause of the accident, he is too cruel to the child."
"Isn't that the most handsome captain of the diving rescue team just now? God, I even promised to marry him at that time. Fortunately, God didn't help me."
"Don't talk nonsense, maybe his wife really did something unforgivable..."
The voice in my ear gradually faded and I fainted before the ambulance arrived.
In the dream, I went back to the time when we just met in the diving team.
At that time, Michelle, Zayn's girlfriend who had been in love with him for 5 years, won the title of the underwater mermaid princess competition, accepted a high-paying job abroad and had to break up with Zayn.
I choked on water in my lungs when I exhaled during a dive and it was Zayn who saved me at the critical moment. I vaguely remember that he lifted me ashore and gave me artificial respiration in the gentle sunlight.
Maybe it was the suspension bridge effect, or maybe it was because I heard rumors about his love affair, I had since sunk for this Maldivian diving rescue captain. In order to stay with him for a long time, I chose to become a diving coach in Maldives. In order to attract his attention, I took great pains to collect the collection of diving equipment he wanted.
In the diving competition, I signed up for the deep diving project and the water pressure almost suffocated me, just for Zayn to look at me more.
Every day, I persisted in preparing nutritious meals and diving equipment for him and helped him record the diving log.
