It was Lionel's voice.
He was shouting at Victoria.
It turned out that Victor was charging toward the woman with a knife and was about to stab her in the back.
While running, he yelled, “Don't blame me. You can only blame your man for being too ruthless. He had forced me into a dead end. Even though he had promised to transfer all the shares to me, he went back on his word. The best way for me to get back at him is to kill you. I want him to remain in misery for the rest of his life after losing his beloved.”
Victor lunged at Victoria immediately after he finished speaking.
With the knife aimed at her heart, Victoria would not stand a chance to survive if she were to be stabbed.
It was obvious that the man had gone completely berserk, given that he was even trying to kill his own sister.
The fact that he was disregarding blood ties meant that he was determined to get his revenge.
Shluk!
The knife was stabbed into a body.
Victoria's pupils contracted at once.
Did I just get stabbed? Why am I not feeling any pain?
The woman was certain that she had just heard the sound of a knife penetrating the flesh. W-What's going on?
Suddenly, a wave of terror engulfed her. Standing in the cold, Victoria was trembling so badly that her knees were almost buckling underneath her.
She did not dare to turn around, dreading that she might witness something that would break her heart.
She was worried that her greatest fear would come true and that her world would crumble in an instant.
She had clearly heard Lionel calling out to her earlier, but currently...
It seemed as if his voice had disappeared into the storm.
Victoria could no longer feel the man's presence.
“Ahhh! Murder! Murder! There's so much blood! He has lost so much blood!” a passerby exclaimed.
Murder?
Blood?
Who's bleeding?
Victoria knew that it wasn't her who was bleeding, and she wasn't feeling any pain either.
Clang!
The knife fell to the ground.
The next moment, the woman saw Victor dashing toward his car in a fluster. Without looking back, he got into the car and sped off instantly.
Victoria's body started shaking violently.
She slowly turned around. When she finally saw the scene in front of her, her pupils dilated with shock.
Lionel was looking at her with a smile on his face. At the same time, blood was trickling down from the corner of his mouth.
As she looked further down, Victoria noticed a hole in the man's chest. Blood was flowing out from it like a stream.
“Y-You...”
The call was from Victoria, who had briefly told Bailey what had happened.
Bailey was shocked that Victor had gone to such lengths to get his revenge, even going after his own sister's life.
If Lionel had not blocked the knife with his body, Victoria would have been dead.
However, judging by Victoria's tone, Bailey could tell that Lionel was seriously injured and was already on the brink of death. As such, she was not completely confident that she would be able to save him.
Bailey could only hope that Lionel's injury was not as bad as she had imagined. Only then would she be able to have a shot at saving him.
If Lionel did not make it, Victoria would be as good as dead.
Even though she would continue to live, she would be no different from a zombie. This wasn't something Bailey wished to see.
Twenty minutes later, Lionel was sent to the medical base.
Bailey and Zeke were already waiting at the entrance when they arrived.
Victoria slumped onto the ground the instant she stepped out of the car.
Seeing that, Bailey quickly rushed forward and supported her. “Be careful! You just had a miscarriage. You are going to destroy your body if you don't take care of yourself. If that happens, no matter how good my medical skills are, I wouldn't be able to bring you back to health.”
Victoria coughed lightly before grabbing Bailey's arms and saying, “Bay, please help me. You're the only one who can save Lionel now. Please don't let him die. If he dies, I don't know how I can continue living. Although we are already divorced, he's my only reason to remain living in this world. If he's no longer around, it would be meaningless for me to remain alive.”
Bailey gave the woman a tight hug and said, “Don't worry. Even if he's on the brink of death, as long as he's still breathing, I will do everything I can to save him. You need to calm down now. Otherwise, it would be too much for your body to bear. Don't let me worry about you. I won't be able to concentrate on treating him if you do.”
After saying that, Bailey entrusted Victoria to Zeke and pushed the gurney into the emergency room.
Victoria was about to follow behind when Zeke pulled her into his arms and comforted her, “You are Bay's best friend, and your happiness is also her happiness. Both of you are already inseparable. So don't worry, she wouldn't let anything bad happen to Lionel. She knows that your life is connected to his.”
