The Year She Stopped Being Crazy for Him novel Chapter 327

Jude suddenly turned to her. "Not well? You look perfectly fine to me! Do you have any idea that Cora is in surgery right now?! I don't even know what the hell happened to her!"

Gardenia froze, stunned by his outburst. "You... you're yelling at me because of Cora?"

Jude was also taken aback. The memory of Gardenia staying by his side for a whole year abruptly flashed in his mind, flooding him with immense guilt. He lowered his head. "I'm sorry. I'll send you the address. Just follow along at your own pace."

With that, Jude sprinted down the stairs.

Within seconds, Gardenia completely lost sight of him.

She stood rooted to the spot, staring in disbelief at the empty space where he had vanished.

How could this happen?

How could Jude treat her like this?

...

When Jude arrived outside the operating room, he saw Hassan and Natalie waiting in the hall.

Natalie's neck was covered in blood. Hassan stood in front of her, pressing a handkerchief against the wound, his brow furrowed, his jaw set like stone.

Natalie sat on the bench, her eyes vacant, her hands visibly trembling. The front of her clothes was completely soaked in blood, but it was starkly obvious that it wasn't hers.

His heart seized violently in his chest, and his legs turned to jelly.

He looked toward the operating room doors.

He couldn't see anything.

He walked over to Natalie and Hassan. His lips parted, his voice raspy. "What happened to her?"

Natalie felt suffocated by the heavy question. The image of Cora wrapping her arms around her and spinning them around played on an endless loop in her mind. The warm blood soaking into her skin... her fading breaths...

Hassan gave Jude a hard look, then pressed Natalie's head against his side, his voice frigid. "She was stabbed in the chest outside The Springfall. They're trying to save her right now."

Jude's entire body locked up. His eyes bloodshot, his amber pupils seemed to drain of color beneath the harsh fluorescent lights. "What did you say?"
