Face covered with blood, Sam opened his eyes. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly and uttered weakly, "Anne, I'm sorry I couldn't help you."
Shaking her head repeatedly, she held Sam tightly and immediately called an ambulance.
He had multiple wounds and blood was gushing out of his body. He couldn't hold on for long. Feeling weak and drained, Sam tilted his head and became unconscious. However, his hand tightly held onto Anne's hand.
Anne cried out, "I'm sorry, Sam. It's all my fault! I'm the one who got you into trouble!
Please, don't close your eyes. Think about Emily. Aren't you going to get married? She is waiting for you!"
However, he was completely unconscious and could not hear a word she said. Anne did her best to wake him up but he wouldn't budge.
The ambulance arrived very soon. Sam had been holding Anne's hand all this time. She could do nothing but follow him into the ambulance.
Once inside, she immediately informed Kevin and Emily about it.
After receiving the news, Kevin and Emily were both shocked and rushed to the hospital without any delay.
Emily was closer to the hospital hence she was the first to arrive.
Sam was still unconscious and his hand was still wrapped around Anne's. Anne didn't have the heart to attempt moving it. She simply stared at him, tenderness making its way to her eyes.
When Emily arrived, she saw this. She couldn't help but stiffen at the scene in front of her.
She knew more than anyone how much Sam liked Anne once upon a time. She had to chase after him to finally receive his love. In short, it took a lot of effort to win his heart. And finally, they were leading a happy life together.
Emily tried to pretend like his past interest in Anne meant nothing to her. She even kept a close relationship with her. However, deep down she hadn't forgotten any of it.
Slowly, Emily had begun to feel that Sam had accepted her with all his heart. She had believed this love had erased every memory of Anne. But what happened now brought back all the sorrows.
With even bothering to inform her, he had risked his life for Anne.
'Sam, in your heart, have you really given up on Anne? Or is she more important to you than your own life?' Emily wondered, her heart filling with sadness.
She slowly closed her eyes and sat in the corridor, exhausted.
'Why? Why did this have to happen? Why couldn't she call Kevin after receiving a phone call from Kim? Why did she decide to get Sam involved?' she thought to herself. Suddenly, she began to hate Anne.
Everyone knew what sort of a dangerous person Kim was. Sam knew helping Anne was a dangerous thing to do yet he decided to do it.
The worst part was, he hadn't considered her feelings before he risked his life!
"Ha-ha..." Covering her face with her hands, Emily laughed wildly. 'Sam! You must still love Anne. Otherwise, how could you do such a thing?'
When Kevin arrived, he saw Emily looking like a maniac. He frowned and headed straight into the ward.
When Anne looked back and found Kevin coming in, the tears that she had been holding back began to fall freely. Kevin stepped forward and held her in his arms.
"Anne, why didn't you call me?" he demanded, sounding very tired.
A couple was supposed to face challenges together. And here, Anne had hidden her troubles from him again.
If Sam hadn't gone to help her, Kevin couldn't help but wonder what would have happened. Would she disappear from his life again?
This filled him with both fear and uncontrollable rage.
"Kevin, look, I got another person involved. Back then, if Ryan hadn't protected me, I would have been dead. Now, if Sam didn't protect me, I would be the one lying on the bed instead of him." Anne closed her eyes wearily, a mocking smile appearing on her face.
Kevin sighed and looked at Sam's hand which was wrapped around Anne's. It suddenly occurred to him why Emily had looked so crazy. It was probably because of this sight.
"Well, don't worry. Sam will be fine, okay?" he said, trying to console Anne. He had spoken to the doctor. As a doctor, Sam knew how to protect himself from internal injuries. Although the situation looked fierce, he would not die.
Anne shook her head with a sneer and sighed heavily. 'Damn Kim! You are torturing my little boy Simon by involving him in these bloodsheds!' she thought, tears streaking down her chin.
Emily, who had been standing outside for a long time, finally entered the ward. Although Sam was unconscious, he was still worried about Anne. He held Anne's hand tightly, unwilling to let go.
Anne couldn't untangle herself from him. This posture lasted for hours.
Finally in the morning, Sam gradually opened his eyes.
"Finally awake?" Anne asked excitedly. She was the first one to find him awake.
Sam opened his eyes, taking in his surroundings. He was very familiar with the layout of this room. This was a ward in a hospital.
Since he was hospitalized, they should be safe now.
Upon realizing that, Sam heaved a sigh of relief. Just then, he saw Emily, who was standing aside, frowning slightly and looking at him with a complicated expression.
When he met Emily's gaze, he couldn't help but pass her a smile. He wanted to slowly reach out his hand to her. However, he realized his hand was tightly holding Anne's hand.
