Chapter 135: Giving Seele artificial respiration, the daughter of the sea can't swim

"Eh? Where did my Seele go?"

Bai Ge's eyebrows furrowed slightly, discovering that his thoughtful little cotton-padded jacket had disappeared somewhere.

Compared to other girls in the family with distinct personalities, a girl like Seele who is too quiet and obedient sometimes appears like a small transparent person, difficult to attract attention.

She is the type who silently contributes to others and doesn't promote herself in a high-profile way.

If Bai Ge wasn't also someone good at observing and knew her setting, he would probably ignore that girl to a certain extent.

"Seele? Seele! Where on earth is she..."

Bai Ge looked around worriedly. If no accident had happened, it would be impossible for Seele to play hide-and-seek with him without saying anything. Absolutely impossible. However, at this moment...

"Father, help! Seele, Seele is in the sea over there! She, she's drowning!"

Rozaliya's twin sister, Liliya, ran over in a panic. The little loli's fingers were shaking as she pointed in a certain direction, her face pale with fright.

"What?!"

"Seele!"

Bai Ge and the Duck changed color at the same time.

"Someone is drowning? In, in what direction?"

The lifeguard on the beach was also startled. However, before they could ride a jet ski to save the person, they discovered two figures rushing over like the wind.

Bai Ge and Bronya ran wildly toward the beach.

"Bronya, you go back, leave it to me."

"Father Bai Ge, but..."

"Listen to me!"

"............"

Just one sentence made the Duck stop in her tracks. Bronya looked at him with a worried expression. The next second, Bai Mou had already jumped high into the sea.

"Damn!"

"So fast!"

"Is this still a human!"

The people witnessing this scene opened their eyes wide. Only then did they discover that they were surprised too early. Even without any swimming gear, Bai Ge swam faster than a jet ski.

That swimming posture, which could only be described as fierce, was like a human shark.

In just over ten seconds, Bai Ge had already arrived at the place where Seele was drowning, then dived into the sea and immediately found his girl who was constantly sinking.

He hurriedly picked up Seele and swam toward the surface.

"Bronya, hurry!"

"Yes. Estimated drowning time is between 30 and 50 seconds, heartbeat and pulse are weak and nearly stopped, there is a large amount of seawater in the stomach, must perform first aid immediately!"

"Bai Ge, hurry up and perform chest compressions and artificial respiration on this girl!" Raven reminded loudly.

"Right, right! You're right. Damn it, Seele, you must not be okay!" Bai Ge reacted immediately.

He took a deep breath and turned the first-aid knowledge that flashed through his mind into action, hooking his left hand over his right hand and pressing it on Seele's chest, repeatedly performing strong compressions.

Then he tilted Seele's head back, lifted her chin to pry open her mouth, and pinched her nose to blow the air from his mouth into the girl's mouth.

Fortunately, Bai Ge's movements were clean, and Seele hadn't been drowning for long. Just as Bronya had estimated earlier, she was still within the golden rescue time, so...

"Cough, cough! Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough!!!"

"Seele!"

"Father... Bai Ge, Sister Bronya... Seele, what happened... Eh? Why is Father crying?"

After coughing up a large amount of water, Seele finally regained consciousness. She leaned weakly in Bai Ge's arms, looking at the two with a dazed expression.

"It's okay, it's okay. As long as you're okay, Seele. You really scared me to death this time."

Bai Ge only felt his whole body go soft and let out a sigh of relief. He hugged the girl in his arms tightly as if he were afraid of losing her.

After sending Seele to the resort hospital and checking the girl's whole body thoroughly, Bai Ge used the incomplete authority of the Herrscher of Death to check several times before he felt relieved.

And after regaining consciousness, Seele, who gradually remembered what had happened, showed guilt and lowered her head in self-reproach.

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. Seele caused Father such big trouble and made you and everyone worry."

Just thinking about the expression Bai Ge had shown just now, Seele felt a sense of guilt that almost crushed her. She had never seen her dear Father show such an expression.

Fear, panic, fragility, as if the person drowning wasn't herself but him.

That was a disheveled appearance Seele had never seen before.

It was all because of her that he showed such an expression.

"It's okay. I just didn't expect that you, Seele, actually... don't know how to swim."

"I, I originally wanted to use the floating board I bought yesterday to learn to swim today, but the waves accidentally blew my floating board away. If Liliya hadn't happened to see it and notified Father Bai Ge, I'm afraid I would have already..."

Seele hugged her arms tightly, still feeling a lingering fear.

"Don't say things like that. It's already okay. Ay~ this time really scared me to death. Seele, my Seele, if something happened to you, Father might want to die."

"Eh?! Father, no, I'm sorry. Seele will never do that again, so you must not be okay."

Raising her hand to hug the girl in front of her tightly.

Bai Ge touched the back of Seele's head.

Letting this girl, who was shivering like a lamb, have something to rely on, he whispered in her ear.

"Alright, Seele, you can cry now."

"Eh?"

"There's no one else here. In front of me, Seele doesn't need to hold back her tears, so... if you're scared, just cry. I'm by your side, everything is already okay."

Bai Ge patted Seele's back lightly. How could he not know what kind of girl Seele Vollerei was?

She was timid and quiet, and would shed tears whether she encountered sad things or happy things, but from being rescued from drowning until now, this girl hadn't shed a single tear.

It was obvious she was holding back so as not to make him worry.

"Sob sob, sob ah ah ah, Father Bai Ge, Seele is so scared. Just now Seele almost died, almost couldn't see you again, sob sob sob, I'm sorry, I'm sorry for making you worry so much, sob..."

After being pointed out like this, Seele's eyes instantly became wet. She curled up in Bai Ge's arms and cried loudly, just like a little animal that had been hurt and didn't dare to leave its master's embrace, her whole body shaking.

Finally, after crying for a long time, Seele's spirit was vented, and she fell asleep in Bai Ge's arms as if she were tired from crying. When she woke up again, the sky was already dusk.

Looking at the position, which was no different from before she lost consciousness.

Seele realized that she had probably been held like this for these few hours. While feeling moved in her heart, two red clouds also appeared on the girl's cheeks.

The other children of the Hearth Home had already told her the whole process: Father Bai Ge had rushed into the sea regardless of his own safety to save Seele, and then performed chest compressions and artificial respiration on her, which allowed her to regain consciousness.

"Sorry, Seele, the situation was urgent at the time."

"No, no, how can Father apologize to Seele? It was clearly my fault."

"Eh, alright. But I didn't expect you, Seele, not to know how to swim. I always thought Seele was very good at swimming."

Bai Ge reflected on himself.

He had been misled by the stereotypes caused by the game he played in his previous life. Before crossing over, he had just finished the main storyline of Chapter 39, titled 'Daughter of the Sea'.

And whenever Seele was mentioned, he subconsciously associated her with the Sea of Quanta. In short, various factors led Bai Ge to instinctively think that this girl was actually very good at swimming... but he didn't expect her to be a landlubber.

Fortunately, no irreparable accident happened this time. When he knew Seele was drowning, his heart really stopped for a few seconds. You must know that Bai Ge's feelings for them now are not the feelings for paper characters that he had when he first crossed over.

The few months they spent together were enough to upgrade this feeling into a real family.

"Speaking of which, now that I think about it... it seems there was no need to use artificial respiration and chest compressions. A miscalculation. I actually forgot that I had more practical and useful means. Eh~ concern leads to chaos."

Bai Ge only reacted now.

He could actually use the Authority of the Wind to blow the seawater Seele choked on out of her lungs; anything would be better than artificial respiration.

The reason he didn't do that was that he really didn't think of it.

From the beginning of this time-space travel until now, Bai Ge had almost forgotten that he still had the incomplete authority of the Wind.

No way, who told him that he hadn't used this ability at all during this period, and only the other four authorities were used relatively frequently.

The Authority of the Void could be used to fly in the sky. Although it was an incomplete authority and could only be transferred within the field of vision, it was already good enough to use.
