Struggle to Reach Out
Zayla fell to the ground and coughed a few times. She tried to get up, but at that moment, she had an asthma attack.
She clutched her collar tightly. Her face was flushed red and it was hard for her to breathe. She was like a fish on land, dying of thirst. She couldn’t muster any strength, so all she could do was struggle to reach out and murmur, “My inhaler…”
It was in a nearby cabinet.
Ronald suddenly pushed the bodyguard beside him aside. He rushed to the cabinet and opened the drawer.
However, just as he was about to get the inhaler, the four bodyguards rushed over and grabbed his hands and feet.

The bodyguards also left.
Ronald rushed to Zayla’s side. While calling emergency services, he said, “Mom, hold on. The ambulance is coming soon. Just hold on a bit longer!”
Zayla’s eyes were unfocused. Her breathing was ragged, causing her face to be flushed red and her blue veins to bulge.
She held Ronald’s hand tightly. Somehow, she had the strength to mutter, “It’s okay. In the future… I won’t… have to drag you down anymore.”
