it from Thomas,” Christopher said, his expression shifting immediately after. “I only found out but everything I told you last night was true. If you don’t believe me, I can get tested.”

Luna’s astonishment was instantly replaced by embarrassment.

At that moment, the manager seemed to have recalled something. His expression drastically changed, and he hastily left.

Realization belatedly dawned upon the researchers. “Wait a minute. So that’s why she was holding that syringe filled with a liquid that looked like blood! She was planning to… Don’t tell me last night she was planning to…”

Everyone turned to look at Christopher in shock.

Her target last night was Christopher, but now it’s Luna What a madwoman. Isabella sighed.

Christopher snorted. “Who knows? Anyway, we should all be on guard whenever she shows up in the future.”

Luna was in a daze, finding it hard to fathom how things had ended up this way.

Since it was an intentional assault case, they all had to stay behind and cooperate with the police interrogation before they could leave.

Christopher’s wound was severe and required stitches, so he was immediately taken to the hospital, accompanied by Hayden.

When Isabella stepped out of the police station, she spotted a tall, slender man standing by a black business car. The man was clad in a grey overcoat, beneath which a glimpse of a black suit could be seen.

Dressed meticulously, he stood rigidly straight. Under his thick long lashes were profound, penetrating eyes that stared intently at the entrance of the police station, patiently waiting for someone.

Though Isabella didn’t have feelings for Alexander, she had to admit she felt a sense of security the moment he appeared.

Isabella approached him briskly. Instead of standing there and waiting for her to come to him, he walked over. His legs were long, covering a large distance as he strode toward her. She had barely taken a few step when he reached her, scanning her from head to toe before he finally spoke. “Are you hurt?”

Isabella waved her hands

and said, “No. Why are you here? I thought Hayden arranged for a lawyer to handle it. Once Christopher’s wound is stitched up, he can be transferred back. Didn’t he tell you?”

Observing that Isabella seemed to be in good spirits, Alexander knew that she hadn’t been traumatized. “I couldn’t reach him. He’s asleep from the anesthesia,” he said.

“Shall we head to the hospital now?” Isabella asked.

Alexander gave a slight nod.

Isabella called out to Thalia and saw Luna stride up to them. The latter turned to Alexander and said, “I’m sorry. Christopher is injured because of me…”

“I’ve already understood the situation. It has nothing to do with you,” Alexander said in a businesslike manner. “It’s his duty to protect women as a man. Ms. Luna, you needn’t worry too much. This won’t affect the investment, too.”

Isabella looked at Alexander in slight shock. He said so because he didn’t want to burden Luna, who had just rejected Christopher, to feel like she was obligated to compromise just because Christopher saved her

life.

Luna, grasping Alexander’s meaning, lowered her gaze.

Thinking about his unfortunate younger brother, Alexander spoke up. “We’re going to pick up Christopher from the hospital. Would you like to come with us?”

After all, Christopher had risked his life. Alexander still hoped to lift his spirits by bringing Luna there to visit him.

This time, Luna didn’t hesitate. Just as she was about to hod, her phone began to ring.

The call was from an unknown number, but the moment she answered it, she recognized the yelling the other end to be Henry’s voice.

on

Since she had blocked the contacts of the Cowells long ago, she surmised he must’ve used someone else’s phone to call her.

“Luna, you ingrate! It’s bad enough that you ran away from home, but now you’ve even caused your sister to suffer! You knew perfectly well that she was in poor health, yet you still got involved with such a dangerous man and let your sister take the hit for you! I know you hold grudges, but do you have to

o make your sister pay with her life? Get over here now and look at what you’ve done!” Henry roared.

The couple sounded urgent on the phone. They talked fast as if they were afraid Luna would hang up on

The anxiety and solemnity in their tones made Luna frown.

That feeling was akin to a nightmare.

already. Henry and Marjorie are probably looking to vent their anger on you, so I suggest you go back with your team and focus on preparing the investment report. Ignore anyone who tries to contact you or get in touch with you. Since you’ve cut ties with them, none of this has anything to do with you.”
