Chapter 101: Samantha Pushed Me
Chapter 101: Samantha Pushed Me
Chance, David and Abigail rushed towards the two women, one of the staff persons helped Samantha in carrying Carol and they laid her down on the land.
Samantha was very tired so Chance quickly reached her side and held her in his arms, helping her feel warmth.
There Abigail checked Carol's condition.
Carol was lying unconscious, so Abigail shook her body and pinched her earlobe. To help clear Carol's airway, Abigail tilted her chin and head backwards. This was helpful as Carol started breathing. Abigail confirmed this by leaning over Carol and placing her cheek near Carol's mouth. Abigail observed Carol's chest to see if it is rising and falling. It was and so Abigail sighed in relief.
Abigail is a cop and she was trained in all of this so she confirmed to everyone present there that Carol is fine.
Meanwhile a staff person brought two towels for Samantha and Carol.
Chance wrapped Samantha in a towel and hugged the shivering woman to help her feel better with his body heat and Samantha too comfortably leaned in his arms as she was enjoying the love and care he was providing.
Abigail and David wrapped Carol in a towel and Abigail rubbed Carol's foot to let some heat get into her body and David rubbed her palms.
Once Carol felt better, with the help of the staff they took Carol to a medical room in the camping site.
The doctor there checked her condition and confirmed she was saved on time, so there was nothing to worry about her. He also checked Samantha's state and she was fine as she took right precautions while saving Carol.
Samantha and Carol changed into warm clothes provided by the medical facility.
Jack and Mia were informed by David of this accident and they rushed, to the medical room.
The doctor after confirming Carol was fine suggested she take rest for some time and left the room as there were a few rooms in that place in case of such emergencies.
After the doctor left, Chance looked at Samantha and Carol who were now better and asked them what happened and how did they end up in the lake.
Carol who was feeling better started crying, "Samantha pushed me in the lake. She smiled at me like some wicked person and she pushed me, she wanted to kill me" She immediately spoke up.
Samantha wanted to smile seeing Carol's state but she composed herself and looked at Carol in shock as if Carol was putting wrong accusations on her.
"What? I pushed you?" Samantha shockingly asked her, she looked like she couldn't believe what Carol just said.
"Yes, you did. Don't act like I am lying" Carol shouted at Samantha who looked totally surprised as if she has been wrongly accused.
No one present there was able to understand what was happening.
Samantha looked at all the confused faces and said, "Coming here was a big mistake. I am sorry, I should not have come here. I'll leave" Samantha was planning to walk away but before Chance could stop her, Abigail stopped her.
"Samantha, please tell us what happened at the lake? How did you two ended up falling in water?" Abigail asked her.
Samantha chuckled, "What's the point in asking me? You anyway won't believe what I'll say." She confidently spoke.
"Of course, they won't. The truth is Samantha pushed me in water" Carol informed everyone but no one there was able to believe it and they wanted to hear Samantha's side of the story as they all know Carol very well.
"I'll believe whatever you say" Chance ignored Carol and assured Samantha.
Samantha turned nervous seeing Chance but she calmed herself and continued with her lie, "I was fishing at the lake, then I heard footsteps approaching me, so I turned around to see Carol who stepped towards me with her two hands forwarded as if she wants to push me. There was a murderous glint in her eyes which scared me and I accidentally dropped my fishing rod and I stepped away from there in reflex. But Carol who didn't expect me to suddenly turn around and step away was startled but she also lost her balance due to the fishing rod that was dropped on the ground. She then accidentally tripped over it and fell in the lake." Samantha was shivering while explaining what happened as if chills were passing through her recollecting that incident.
"What nonsense? She is lying. What the fuck" Carol shouted as she couldn't believe Samantha was lying so smoothly through her teeth and the most shocking thing was Samantha looked very delicate and helpless. Anyone listening to her story would believe her but Carol had faith in her friends.
"Carol, you earlier told me you were going to the washroom and it was on the opposite side. The lake is nowhere near to that washroom. How did you end up at the lake?" Abigail questioned Carol.
Everyone else kept quiet as Abigail was the one with Carol and she knew more than them so they all calmly looked at Carol waiting for her answer.
Carol was nervous under Abigail's suspicious gaze.
"Abi, why are you interrogating me like you interrogate the culprits you arrest?" Carol tried to smile to cover her nervousness which was evident to everyone present there.
"Carol, answer my question first." Abigail looked very serious. She was in her cop mode right now.
Even Carol got scared for a moment but she did nothing wrong as Samantha was indeed the one who pushed her and is lying now.
"I went to the washroom, then I thought Samantha must be alone at the lakeside so pitying her I went to invite her. She was fishing there and I greeted her and asked her to join me but suddenly she held my two hands and pushed me in the lake. I think she hates me and wants to kill me" Carol too twisted the truth and lied.
"Samantha wants to kill you?" Chance asked her seriously.
Carol was scared at the way Chance was looking at her but this was the truth as Samantha indeed pushed her so Carol confirmed it.
"Yes, she wants to kill me"
"Then why the fuck would she jump into the lake to save you?" Chance shouted at Carol as he was very annoyed with her right now.
Samantha too was surprised as it was obvious from Chance's actions that he was standing in her support. He didn't take even a second to give Carol a chance and immediately accused her.
"I am telling the truth, she really pushed me" Carol started crying and she looked at Mia for help.
Mia too was confused as Carol's story didn't sound very convincing but Samantha's story was.
"But Carol, why would Samantha will push you in the lake out of blue then jump into the lake risking her life to save you?" Mia shared her dilemma.
"To show you all how amazing she is" Carol desperately tried to convince her friends as she couldn't believe they were not believing her.
"Carol, you told me you were going to the washroom and you ended up near the lake side. You are obviously lying" Abigail countered her.
Right now, Abigail was very pissed with Carol as she believed Carol was trying to kill Samantha. She couldn't encourage a criminal and she didn't intend to.
"No, I am not lying" Carol tried to defend herself.
"I am sorry Carol, but you obviously are" David scolded her.
"How can you all not believe me? You know me for so many years. You people know Samantha for just a few months, and you all believe her?" Carol felt betrayed by her friends.
"We know you for many years that's why we are not believing you" Jack voiced out what was on everyone's minds.
Carol looked at her friends unbelievably and everyone present there looked at her in anger and suspicion.
"Fine, the truth is I went to the lake side to confront Samantha" Carol decided to tell the truth as it was Samantha who pushed her in the lake and that too intentionally, so at the end Samantha was at fault, not her.
She didn't wish for Samantha to get away with this crime. If she has to tell the truth for it, then the truth it is but she wouldn't let her friends believe Samantha over her.
"When I reached there, I saw Samantha fishing, her back was facing me. I don't know what got into me and I just wanted to push her into the lake."
Everyone there were astonished listening the truth directly from Carol's mouth.
Although Samantha told them the truth, hearing it all from Carol herself, shook everyone.
"But when I approached her, she suddenly turned around as if she knew I was behind her, walking towards her. It felt like she had eyes on the back. Samantha then tightly held my hands. She asked me what was I doing, when I said I was doing nothing, she smiled at me like an evil person..."
