In a daze, Kate seemed to hear a familiar voice.
The person was crying by her ear, calling out her name with a heart-wrenching voice, and she felt warmth because of this voice.
Cheyenne, Master Glenn, Sasha… her brother, and Reece… she really wanted to see them!
But her eyelids seemed glued shut, with no strength to open them. With the last bit of willpower, Kate struggled to grasp the hand.
She mustered all her strength to utter a broken voice, “Find… Find Cheyenne, and also… my daughter!”
“I am Cheyenne, Kate, open your eyes and look at me, I’m here!”
“Do you remember? We used to be late for school together, skip classes together, and I even took you and Reece to fights, to surf the internet…”
Her voice gradually became clear, and Kate listened to this familiar voice, her chest heaving with excitement.
Tears welled up in her eyes.
“Cheyenne, I-I’m so scared; I don’t want to die.”
Cheyenne embraced her, speaking firmly in her ear, “I won’t let you die, absolutely not! I am Cheyenne, and you are Kate, we are best friends. For me, you must hold on, okay?”
“Okay.”
Kate was losing a lot of blood on the way here, and now she was at death’s door. Cheyenne looked at her pale face, trying hard not to cry.
No matter what, she had to save her life!
“Quick, take her to ER 1, get ready for a blood transfusion…”
The nurse hurried over to help Cheyenne prepare to take the patient to the emergency room, but Jaelynn, the madwoman, stood in front of the bed, blocking their way.
Cheyenne was so angry she wanted to kill, looking up at her coldly, shouting angrily, “I have no time to chat with you now, get out of my way!”
Jaelynn looked down at Kate with an air of contempt, having heard about this niece-in-law she had never met before.
Because she had stolen Glenn’s heart, her proudest nephew. Glenn, her most proud nephew, was able to snatch the position of family head from the women of the Weaver family who believed in female supremacy, showing his remarkable ability.
But he had actually fallen for a woman and left the Weaver family, which was one of the two things that Jaelynn hated the most.
It was because of Glenn’s departure that the Weaver family was eventually excluded from the three major families.
The culprit was Kate.
In a split second just now, a crazy plan popped into Jaelynn’s mind – Kate must die!
Her death would be enough to make Glenn return to the Weaver family; at the same time, it would also sow discord between the Zamora family and Cheyenne, a perfect plan that she could not let Cheyenne ruin.
“Miss Lawrence, it was official business just now, but now it’s personal. Kate is my niece-in-law, and I have the right to keep you away from her!”
“Can’t you see she’s dying?” Cheyenne was trembling with anxiety, for the current Kate, she was undoubtedly racing against death; every second delayed would add to her danger, what was this old woman trying to do?
“Ridiculous, of course I can see she’s about to die, and… you, Cheyenne, are the one who hurt her. I don’t believe you have the power to bring her back to life, so I’ll take her, find a better hospital, a better doctor!”
The doctors and nurses were dumbfounded on the side. Their hospital was already the best in Akloit, and Miss Lawrence’s skills had never been questioned.
Cheyenne took a deep breath, clenched her fists, deeply regretting she had held back that slap just now.
“On the count of three, if you don’t step aside, I’ll have you arrested for obstructing medical professionals and attempting murder.”
Jaelynn was unshaken; she pulled out her pistol and pointed it directly at Cheyenne’s head.
“I’ve already said it, I’m her aunt, and as a patient’s family member, I have the right to choose the doctor!”
Even a gun was brought out. It was quite a scare for everyone. Some even felt their legs weaken from the intense hostility in the air. However, Cheyenne remained calm, the silver needle in her hand ready to strike.
“One, step aside!”
“No!”
“Two!”
“You can try whether my gun is faster or your silver needle!”
“Three!”
Just as Cheyenne was about to throw the silver needle, Jaelynn was prepared to pull the trigger. But their confrontation was interrupted by intermittent voices.
Master Glenn appeared seemingly out of nowhere, standing before Cheyenne in a flash. He forcefully disarmed Jaelynn, pointing the gun at himself.
“Aunt, if you want to kill someone, kill me!” His deep voice carried a hint of coldness, indicating that Master Glenn held no fondness for his aunt.
Cheyenne stared in astonishment at his resolute figure. She spoke up, reminding him, “Kate’s condition is critical, I must perform surgery on her.”
Master Glenn turned around, his eyes becoming misty as he glanced at his beloved lying on the bed. He earnestly nodded at Cheyenne and hoarsely pleaded, “Please… you must save her!”
“Don’t worry, even if you didn’t say it, I would do it. She’s my best friend.”
With those words, Cheyenne pushed the hospital bed past Jaelynn, preparing to go to the emergency room. However, Jaelynn was still unwilling to give up and tried to stop her.
“Cheyenne, you’re still a criminal now, don’t think you can play tricks!”
Jaelynn suddenly turned around, drawing a sharp military knife from her waist, and held the blade against Cheyenne’s neck. The pale neck already bore traces of blood.
Without a doubt, if the razor-sharp dagger moved a bit further, Cheyenne’s head would become separated from her body.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, Glenn’s hatred burst forth as he reached out and grabbed Jaelynn’s hand.
“Aunt! Are you forcing me to completely destroy the Weaver family?”
“Don’t touch her!”
A loud voice echoed from the corridor, causing everyone to turn their heads. Soon, two rows of soldiers in military uniforms lined up in an orderly fashion, surrounding Jaelynn and the others.
A way was made, and from afar, a tall and heroic figure appeared. He wore a green military uniform, draped with a matching coat. His black hair was shiny and well-groomed.
With sharp eyebrows and narrow, piercing black eyes, his finely chiseled face was both delicate and frigid, resembling a translucent ice sculpture.
“Master Iker!”
Upon hearing her call, Iker’s face, for the first time, revealed a shallow smile as he nodded in her direction.
“Cheyenne, go do what you want to do. Today, I will accompany and protect you. Let’s see who dares to touch you!”
As Cheyenne heard his open and unwavering protection, her eyes welled up with tears.
“Thank you.”
After saying that, she turned her head, pushed Kate into the emergency room, and began another battle against the Grim Reaper!
