The doctor was stunned!
“How did Averie run so quickly? Have her legs healed?” he wondered.
“She snatched the medical suitcase! She snatched the medical suitcase!” he realized.
The doctor came to his senses and quickly walked over to the bed.
He was shocked to see the dagger protruding from Elyette’s chest. He was also shocked by how red the sheets were.
“Uh, uh… uh!”
The bodyguard grabbed Averie’s arm with one hand, trying to pull her away, but she shrugged him off with force!
“Miss Tate, are you sure you can do it? Don’t delay his treatment!” The bodyguard furrowed his brows, not trusting her.
Averie’s eyes reddened. She cried in a hoarse voice, “I can stop the bleeding!”
Her voice made Elyette cough suddenly. He had regained consciousness.
He saw Averie. Her face was covered with tears, and she was clutching a medical suitcase in her hand.
He stretched out his hand, trying to push her away. He wanted to die! Life was nothing but pain. Dying would end everything.
“Hold him down! All of you hold him down!” Averie pushed Elyette’s hands away and yelled at the bodyguard with tears in her eyes.
When the bodyguard heard what she said, he immediately pinned Elyette’s hands down.
Elyette was so furious he coughed a mouthful of blood. “How dare you!”
The bodyguard was scared half to death, and he let go of Elyette. Averie coldly looked at the bodyguard, “Do you want him to die! Hold him down!”
Of course, the bodyguard did not want Elyette to die, so he obeyed Averie.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Foster. You’re bleeding too much. Let Miss Tate stop your bleeding! Once your wound is dressed, we’ll immediately send you to the hospital!” The bodyguard explained apprehensively
Elyette was breathing heavily. He looked at Averie resentfully. “Don’t pretend to cry. I won’t send anyone to take revenge on you on my behalf. Once I’m dead you can live in peace,”
Averie ignored Elyette. She grabbed the hilt of the dagger with both hands.
“Elyette, what happens next might hurt a little. Bear with me!” She inhaled and looked at him.
Elyette’s face was pale and weary from all the blood he lost!
His eyes were cold and filled with despair. They were wet with tears, though no tears escaped them.
He had always been that way. He only showed his strongest side.
Averie gritted her teeth and yanked the dagger out! Instantly, blood splattered everywhere!
She immediately began to compress the wound. Satisfied with the slower blood flow, she applied some medication and bound the wound.
When she finished the emergency dressing, she looked at him once again. She did not know when he had passed out.
The thorns around him had wilted, leaving him fragile. “Quickly, send him to the hospital!” Averie took a deep breath and yelled in a hoarse voice.
The bodyguard and doctor immediately took Elyette away.
Averie sat on the bed, hugging her knees close to her, sobbing loudly.
Time drew her deeper into the night, clearing her mind. She could hear the regret screaming in her heart.
She heard the whirring and rumbling of the helicopter on the rooftop. Soon, it disappeared into the25 night.
She heard footsteps outside her door, but she did not look up. She did not care who entered her room.
The individual walked over to her bed and covered Averie with a clean set of covers. He picked up the dagger still covered in 96 blood.
“Miss Tate. I gave you this dagger to protect yourself, not commit murder,” Nick said helplessly, “I have to take this dagger back.”
Averie sobbed out loud. “I did try to kill him, but I did not dare to dozd it.”
“Well, you did provoke him,” Nick said calmly. “The result was the same as stabbing the dagger into his heart yourself. What difference does it make?”
Averie was suddenly at a loss for words by Nick’s49 questions.
“Your mother passed away last year, right? You should know when our close ones pass away, that makes us sensitive and fragile.” Nick lit a cigarette, holding it between his fingers. “His mother passed away, so we came here to be with him. He had asked us to leave tomorrow. Maybe, he found us too rowdy.”
Averie closed her eyes and looked at the bloody bed in a35 daze.
“I don’t know what love and hatred that lies between the two of you, but I know that he has eyes only for you. No other woman has caught his eyes. We even found a bunch of beautiful women for him, but not once did he look at them. And all of them are prettier than you, and their bodies are better than yours too… So why do you think he came looking for you? Don’t you understand?”
Averie took a deep breath. “I don’t love him anymore.”
“Oh…” Nick looked at her before picking up the cigarette. He inhaled the cigarette and exhaled a thick fog of smoke. “Then, why are you crying? Didn’t he say even if he died, he would not bother you?”
Averie was speechless.
“Could you have been frightened by the blood? Don’t lie to me. The amount of blood you’ve seen is more than what we see in a year’s worth of fighting,” said Nick “It’s late. I don’t bother you anymore.”
After Nick left, the nanny came in with a shocked expression.
“Miss Tate… do you want to sleep in another room tonight? I’ll tidy the room up.”
Averie stopped crying. Her tone was cold. “I’ll stay here.”
The nanny took a clean set of sheets and helped Averie get off the bed.
“Miss Tate, the wound on your leg might have opened. There is blood coming out,” said the nanny. “But the doctor isn’t here.”
Averie lowered her gaze. The dressing was indeed red. It might be Elyette’s blood, but it might be hers too.
Her injury hurt a lot, but she did not want to deal with it.
After changing the sheets on the bed, the nanny helped Averie into it. Averie lay down.
When the nanny left, she switched off the light.
Averie opened her eyes and looked around the dark room. Her mind kept replaying the incident that happened a moment ago.
Hurting others could easily be explained away by his violent nature, but the harm he inflicted on himself could not.
“Lunatic!
“He is a madman!” she thought.
Averie’s tears kept falling.
Time passed by second after second. In a blink of an eye, it was morning.
There was a knock on the door, and the nanny entered bringing in breakfast.
Seeing how Averie was still sleeping, the nanny took Averie’s breakfast away with her. Averie was not asleep. She had not slept the entire night.
After the nanny left, Averie opened her reddened eyes and turned on her phone. She did not know what had happened to Elyette after they had taken him away.
She did not know who to contact, so she began looking up news articles related to him.
Averie entered (Elyette Foster) in the search bar and soon, news related to him popped up!

Averie saw the news on her screen. She began to hyperventilate.
“Has Elyette died?
“How could that be? How could he have died so easily?” she thought.
She had stopped his bleeding. The helicopter had taken him directly to the hospital. They would have rushed him to the emergency room, so how could they not have successfully resuscitated him?
