Although Caroline was gasping for breath, she directly flattened her right-hand on John's chest, trying to hold and cling on to his naked upper body, like a hungry leech. Inside her mind, Caroline was rejoicing. Yaay! She was finally able to touch his hard-muscled chest, nice!
"Are you okay?" asked John worriedly, peering into her face.
She nodded her head.
Caroline took advantage of the situation by wrapping her arms around his neck as she was being carried by him out of the pool and he deposited her gently into the lounge chair.
Minerva followed them into the lounge chair. "Are your feet still hurting, Caroline?" she asked.
She nodded her head. "Yes, it's still hurting," she answered.
John looks at her, the worry was fading away in his eyes.
"Caroline, I will leave you in Minerva's care because she is a nurse, you will be fine under her care," said John.
