Chapter 19 In Hannah's words, there was no room for Spencer to bargain. He clenched his fists. Three chances, huh. At least there were still three chances left. "Alright, I agree." Hearing a definite answer, Hannah let out a sigh of relief. Her gaze then fell on the necklace around Spencer's neck. She couldn't be mistaken-what he was wearing was the half crystal pendant she had once given him. She hadn't expected that he still kept it. Thinking of this, Hannah felt a bit of irony. She raised her hand and yanked off the necklace. "Wasn't it just a worthless piece of jade? Why did you pick it out of the trash and wear it again?" Seeing the sarcasm in Hannah's eyes, Spencer felt a sharp pain in his heart.- He hurried to explain: "No, I was just being stubborn. I never really threw it away, you have to believe me." If it had been before, Hannah would have been delighted to hear such words. Because she truly, deeply liked Spencer once. But now, she felt nothing at all. After one last glance at the jade in her hand, Hannah said nothing and tossed it away. "You were right, it's indeed useless. No need to keep it." Spencer's eyes widened as he lunged forward, but he was still a step too late. The bracelet fell straight into the pool below and disappeared without a trace. In that instant, Spencer felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife. Watching him like this, Hannah spoke: "Is it really that important to you?" With reddened eyes, Spencer said word by word, "Yes." "You gave it to me. I value it more than my own life." Hannah let out a light laugh and pointed at the pool below. "Then go fish it out. This is your first chance." 0.0% 09:18 Chapter 19 As soon as she finished speaking, Spencer's eyes widened. No one knew better than Hannah that Spencer couldn't swim at all. When he was a child, Spencer almost drowned and barely survived, leaving him with a deep trauma. He never went near water. But now, Hannah pointed at the pool and said, "Either go in and get the necklace, or give up and I'll leave right now." Spencer panicked and quickly said, "I'll get it!" Even Hannah was a little surprised by his response. He actually agreed. With his injuries still untreated, Spencer went downstairs just like that, wounds and all. Staring at the water in the pool, Spencer couldn't help but recall the shadows of his childhood. His face grew paler and paler, but his movements didn't hesitate. He walked straight to the edge of the pool, glanced at Hannah, and said, "If this is your test, I accept it." With that, he jumped into the water without a moment's hesitation. Water splashed everywhere. Hannah stood silently on the shore, saying nothing. Spencer couldn't swim, and the pool was deep. Almost as soon as he entered, he began to struggle in pain. But Hannah still felt nothing. Only when the splashing grew more intense did Hannah say from the shore, "If you can't get it, just give up." Hearing this, Spencer clenched his fists and dove into the water with a self-destructive determination. The icy water wrapped around him like a venomous snake, pressing down until he couldn't breathe. His chest grew heavier and heavier, the suffocation nearly driving him mad. Even in such agony, Spencer willingly dove into the water again and again. Finally, when he was barely conscious, Spencer emerged holding the necklace, almost half-dead. His eyes sparkled with joy at having passed the test, and like a puppy, he sought Hannah's approval. "Look, I got it back." "Did I pass your test?" Seeing him soaked to the skin, Hannah didn't take the necklace. She simply asked, "Does it hurt?" Hearing this, Spencer's eyes reddened and he nodded aggrievedly. "It hurts a lot. It felt like I was going to die." 40.8 % 09:18 Chapter 19 He lowered his head, trying to elicit a bit of sympathy from Hannah. But Hannah just looked at her phone and said calmly, "But it's only been ten minutes." "From the moment you jumped in until now, it's only been ten minutes, and you already can't take it." "Spencer, when you locked me in the confinement room, it was for three days." 91.6 % 09:18 288 Vouchers
