It happened so fast that no one could react.
Time seemed to be flowing so slowly and nearly frozen.
Lydia's pupils widened when she was thrown down. Before she could react, she saw William, covered in blood, lying on her.
Rebecca and Caroline were stunned. Rebecca was so frightened that her heart was pounding.
Till then, she realized that the assassin had always been outside.
The smile on Leo's face froze. He turned and watched this scene in disbelief.
All the guests had been gone, leaving the Henderson family and Leo there.
The next moment, a heart-breaking scream sounded out in this place.
"Dad!"
Caroline ran to William desperately, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Snipers!"
Leo's face instantly turned murderous. He immediately ran to the hotel window and closed all the curtains.
Shoosh!
Two more bullets pierced the glass and tore the curtain to pieces.
Then the room fell in silence.
Leo lifted Lydia up and asked concernedly, "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine! Something's wrong with Dad!"
Lydia's eyes turned red. She was scared out of her wits.
She looked so guilty because she could tell William got shot to protect her.
Just by then, William moved a little. He raised his hand and reached it out for Lydia's cheeks. Then he mumbled, "Lydia... are you alright?"
"I'm fine, I'm fine! Dad, you'll be alright, okay?"
Tears welled up in Lydia's eyes.
William's hand was covered in blood, but Lydia still took his hand and inclined her cheeks to it.
Feeling the temperature on Lydia's face, William grinned and said, "Then it's fine... that's fine..."
His eyes looked warm and kind as if he were looking at his own daughter.
"Dad, stop talking. We'll take you to the hospital right away!"
Leo turned around sharply and said to Caroline, "Call an ambulance!"
He said as he took out silver needles and pricked them on several acupuncture points. That was to help William seal the Chi in his body.
The next moment, she laughed out like crazy, and her face turned malicious. "William, I will not let you and your daughter
recognize each other. You'll die soon, and so will she. Then I'll get all the family property. Hahaha..."
Lydia found the Doctor as soon as they arrived at the hospital. She pleaded with the Doctor, "Doctor, my dad is shot. Please

Emilia nodded obediently. She waiked to Lydia and Caroline, and then she said with a serious face, "Mom, auntie, don't cry.
Grandpa will get better."
He made a phone call and said, “Find out who are the killers ambushing around Rivermoon Hotel, and who's behind them!"
"Okay!"
On the other side of the phone, Ronnie's heart was trembling when he got the news saying that Leo's father, William, was
almost dying from a gunshot.
Within ten minutes, bursts of sirens came out of the hospital. Many police wagons set off, and they didn't let go of any clue.
Rebecca hurried to the hospital. "How is William?"
“The Doctor said that Dad is bleeding heavily. They didn't look very optimistic about that, and they are still trying to lift him out
of danger."
