Chapter 172:
Annabel got on her knees and began to perform CPR on the unconscious woman.
Nina was in a critical state now. If they waited for the ambulance, it would be too late, and even God would not be able to breathe life back into her. Even now, Annabel was not sure if Nina could be saved.
Nina had been in the water for far too long, so her chances of survival were extremely slim.
If Annabel had gotten Nina out of the lake earlier, she would not have ended up like this. The obstruction from Anakin and Cathy had made things worse.
Annabel could only do her best and hope it would be enough.
Performing CPR required a lot of strength and focus. Despite Annabel’s stamina, she began to feel tired after a few minutes.
“Annabel, do you need my help?” Rory, who was squatting next to her, felt pity when he saw the sweat on her forehead.
Annabel shook her head. “No. Call 911 again. The ambulance is supposed to be here by now p>
Rory stood up and made the call.
Cathy sneered, “Annabel, don’t be hypocritical. Nina is dead. Stop pretending. Don’t even think your poor acting can change the fact that you are a murderer p>
Turning a deaf ear to the yapping woman, Annabel continued trying to resuscitate Nina.
“You should…” Cathy started again, but she was cut off by the blaring sound of…
A siren wailed in the distance.
A police car was heading for Lover Lake.
At the sight of this, Cathy clapped her hands excitedly. She looked at Annabel, who was still kneeling, and quipped, “The cops are here! You will be whisked away very soon, murderer p>
Rory hung up the phone. He turned to Cathy and threatened, “You’d better not frame Annabel. Otherwise, you will be shocked at what I’ll do to you p>

“How am I framing her? I saw her push Nina into the lake with my own eyes.” Staring at Rory squarely, Cathy asked, “What’s between you and Annabel? Why do you care about her so much p>
“It’s none of your fucking business!” After yelling at Cathy, Rory walked to Annabel’s side and wiped the sweat from her forehead. “Don’t worry, Annabel. The ambulance will be here soon p>
“Okay.” Annabel nodded gently. She continued to press Nina’s chest with both hands and give her mouth-to-mouth occasionally.
However, her efforts were still futile. Nina did not wake up, nor did her pulse return.
The police car sped toward Lover Lake and, in no time, pulled up at the shore.
As soon as two officers stepped out, Cathy hurried over, pointed at Annabel, and said, “That’s the culprit, Annabel Hewitt! She’s the one who pushed Nina into the lake p>
Following the direction of her finger, the officers saw Annabel kneeling beside a motionless body, performing CPR.
