The longer this dragged on, the more danger Belinda was in.
Just as Poppy was at a loss, the opposing group suddenly launched a full-scale attack. Another group appeared from behind her, and her face turned pale. As she prepared to shoot, she suddenly heard gunfire from the corridor, distinct from the enemy's.
Then, she saw silver needles flying through the air, embedding themselves in the attackers with pinpoint accuracy.
Soon, she saw Lily and Loid approaching. They looked like avenging demons from the underworld.
Excited, Poppy dashed toward them. "Lily!"
The fury on Lily's face was unmistakable. She nearly snarled. "Who asked you to come here? Get out!"
"Lily..." Poppy's voice wavered, tears welling up in her eyes.
Without sparing her a glance, Lily coldly instructed Daniel, "Take her away."
Not daring to refuse, Daniel promptly escorted Poppy out.
Lily cast a cold glance at the bodies on the floor before stepping into the operating room. When she saw Belinda lying on the surgical bed, her steps faltered. She pursed her lips, and her vision blurred.
After a long silence, she approached Belinda.
She took out a pill from her pocket and gave it to Belinda. She then retrieved her acupuncture kit and began to work with utmost seriousness.
