With swiftness, Roland hastened his descent, positioning himself upon the
shoreline, endeavoring to extend his grip and raise Millie from her precarious
position.
“Extend your hand, Millie. I shall pull you to safety.” “Roland, extend aid to me
first, I am your sister!” Laurel's desperate plea echoed through the turmoil.
Laurel's eyes widened in incredulity. Both she and Millie had plunged into the
waters, yet Roland's choice to rescue Millie instead left her dumbfounded.
Casting a fleeting glance at Roland's offered hand, Millie laboriously made her
way to the shore. An unspoken reluctance held her back from embracing his
assistance
Retracting his hand with an air of awkwardness, Roland surprised Laurel by
subsequently procuring a stick, an impromptu tool in his determination to aid.
“Millie, grasp this stick. I shall hoist you to safety,” Roland proposed, his intent
clear in his words.
This time, Millie did not decline. The mire’s grip was profound, impeding her
ascent unaided.

Seizing hold of one end of the stick, within moments Millie found herself drawn to
the shore’s embrace, Roland's efforts culminating in her rescue.
“Are you frightened? How did the single plank bridge collapse?” Roland inquired

Laurel, consumed by rage and humiliation, slapped the water in frustration. Her
voice, laced with desperation, rang out, “Roland, I'm sinking! Cease your
preoccupation with her!”
Laurel's heart brimmed with resentment as she found herself repeatedly
subjected to the sting of humiliation, all because of Millie.
“Cease your shouting. I am coming to rescue you. Extend your hand!” Roland
impatiently shouted, hastening to save Laurel.
Once he had successfully pulled Laurel to safety, Roland was greeted by an
empty space where Millie once stood.
An instant darkening of his countenance betrayed his disappointment, and he
informed Laurel, “Millie has departed.”
Gritting her teeth, Laurel retorted, “How could you utter such words? You ought
not to have rushed to her aid before me. Remember, I am your sister.”
