Chapter 1248
Ariel had no choice but to stop convincing him any further. She cleaned up the mess on the floor, placed a cup of water next to Marshall’s bed, and quietly left the ward.
Marshall opened his eyes after the ward fell silent.
He turned his head to look at the dark sky outside the window. He slightly moved his stitched finger, and the wound seeped some blood onto the gauze.
He glanced at it and looked away as if he could not feel it.
“I jumped and smacked the back of that scum’s head with a thermos flask! Although he screamed in pain, he was too tough and didn’t pass out. Then, he turned around and tried to hurt me with the knife. I immediately kicked him in the sack, causing him to roll his eyes, and then he fainted.”
Felicity bragged as she took the water bottle handed over by Vermont. She twisted it open and took a sip. “If the police arrived a minute later, I would have made sure that he’ll never have a child!”
“What’s a sack?” Vermont asked. Felicity pointed at his groin area.
He gulped nervously. His eyelid twitched as he said in a deep voice, “He had a knife, yet you kicked him instead of running away? Is there something wrong with your brain?”
Felicity scoffed. “What do you know? This is something that only a heroic, brave, and fearless person would do!”
Vermont side-eyed her. “You mean that’s something a person with a death wish would do. What is your family going to do if you’re dead? Do you think they’d be proud of how heroic, brave, and fearless you were?”
