William remained expressionless. “Is that why you saved me?”

Emelie was worried that William might try to avoid repaying his debt. “Mr. Middleton, you wouldn’t be ungrateful, would you?”
william chuckled coldly, his demeanor turning indifferent as he ignored her. Clutching his abdominal wound, he turned away. “Just behave. When I’m discharged, I’ll delete it”
Though it was only a two–day stay, the thought of sharing a hospital room with him for forty–eight hours made Emelle uncomfortable. She even considered asking the nurse to discharge her early.
Surprisingly, William seemed to understand her thoughts. He said calmly, “80% of the group is in the hospital Going out alone would make you an easy target for Reggie.”
Emelie reluctantly pushed aside her thoughts, feeling irritated. However, mentioning Reggie brought her anxiety rushing back. “That hand… Is it from the body that hasn’t been found?
William closed his eyes. “Yes.”
Emelie’s face was drained of color. “The police dogs searched Blossom Clow thoroughly and found nothing. Now it’s just exposed in the thicket. It must have been deliberate.”
“Of course,” William replied.
“Before Jack attacked, he yelled something like, ‘Now that you’ve caught me red–handed, there’s no point in hiding anymore Was he trying to confess to the murder and conceal the body?” Emelie inquired.
William smirked in response. “Getting tired of being a secretary and thinking of a career change to detective?”
People would tend to overthink when directly involved in such incidents. Emelie’s gaze drifted as she observed the IV drip, drop by drop.
William spoke calmly, “Jack went on a stabbing spree, injuring over a dozen people. The police warned him three times to stop, and shooting him was justified
“Max was apprehended and admitted to accidentally killing someone. However, he denies any association with Reggie.”
Emelie grasped the situation. Reggle understood that continued investigation would inevitably Implicate him.
Therefore, he handed over Jack and Mar, who were already wanted by the police, along with the body, in an attempt to divert suspicion from himself.
Whether this survival tactic would succeed depended on the authorities‘ investigation. It was beyond their control, and they couldn’t intervene.
William had just come out of surgery, yet he seemed to have access in all these real–time updates. Emelle wondered how he managed to handle everything
“Jack didn’t attack randomly. He came after you right from the start, Emelie asserted. “All of us getting hurt was because of you”
William turned his head. The hospital bed’s pillow and blanket were white, matching his pale complexion. However, his unusually dark eyes bore into her with a grave and intense expression.
“He came after me because Reggie ordered It. Reggie targeted me because that night at the bar, I didn’t show him respect when I took you away.”
Emelie countered, “I got involved with Reggie because Patricia abandoned me in the wilderness and exposed the to things I shouldn’t have seen. And Patricia singled me out because of you”
The two exchanged accusations, arguing over who bore the responsibility. Emelle’s words angered William, intensifying the pain from his wound.
As Emelie reflected further, everything started to become clearer.
“You knew Reggie was about to pin the blame on someone, didn’t you? That day at the police station, you assured me Reggie wouldn’t bother me much longer. That meant this issue would soon be resolved, correct?”
William glanced at her. Emelie was his pupil, so naturally, she was sharp.
