She was running out of strength! Before reaching the shore, the child would drown with her! No, she had to do a good deed! Maybe the newspaper would report: A woman named Lan Ling’er drowned while saving someone—what a story! (Dr. Chen reprimanded: What time is it, still thinking about fame? Save the person first! Lan Ling’er stuck out her tongue playfully!)
With her last bit of strength, she pushed the child toward the shore, knowing it was enough.
“My child! Are you okay! Are you okay!
The young mother was on the shore, excitedly hugging and kissing her son as he reached her.
“Mom! Mom!” The child’s tears flowed as he tightly hugged her arm, crying loudly.
Watching their reunion, Lan Ling’er smiled slightly, her body slowly sinking. Dr. Chen anxiously asked, “Why isn’t anyone saving you?” Lan Ling’er replied, “Don’t mention it, I have bad luck; it’s normal no one would save me! If you were there, Dr. Chen, I wouldn’t be so miserable!”
Suddenly, someone shouted from the roadside, “Look! The girl disappeared!” Everyone recalled Lan Ling’er, who had saved the child, and looked into the calm water, but there was no trace of her. Arguments began among the crowd.
“Savior! Please find a way to save her!” the young mother pleaded as she knelt before the crowd.
“Get up! It’s not that we don’t want to save her, but you saw what happened to that girl. We don’t want to die in vain!” an old man said helplessly.
The mother continued to call into the river, “Savior! Savior!” Passersby began to disperse, as such scenes had become commonplace.
“Mom, where did the sister go?” the child asked.
The child gradually regained consciousness, crying for his mother.
“Child, you must remember this sister; she saved your life!” The mother, pale-faced, held the child tightly and spoke softly.
“Mom…” The child reached out to hug her arm, tears flowing from his eyes.

When Lan Ling’er awoke, she found her hands and feet bound by large chains, unable to move, only able to be pulled forward. Was this a ghost? (Dr. Chen warned her not to be dramatic. Lan Ling’er laughed, questioning the existence of the black and white entities.)
