It had been two days since Leonard’s assistant brought Azalea back to the city and she was specially sent here today to attack Michael.
Although Azalea hated Michael, she did love him immensely in the past and she didn’t want to kill him. The one she hated the most was still Abbie.
She had been overshadowed by Abbie since she was a child and she had never won against her before. It was all thanks to Abbie now that she ended up like this. Michael wouldn’t deal with her if it weren’t for Abbie, and she wouldn’t have been driven to a dead end like this.
She was going to die in the end anyway, so she wanted nothing more than to drag Abbie down with her.
She knew that she couldn’t get close to Abbie. Besides, she also knew very well that Leonard wanted to use her to kill Michael so that he could marry Abbie.
Azalea acted as if she had been persuaded by Leonard’s assistant to attack Michael, but in fact, her target was Abbie all along.
She saw how desperately Michael was begging Abbie, who didn’t even care about him at all. At that moment, Azalea was filled with so much hatred that she rushed over with a knife in her hand.
“Abbie, go to hell!”
She rushed toward Abbie’s back. It was too late when Michael noticed her and Azalea had already raised her knife as she was about to stab Abbie’s back. However, he blocked the knife with his own body without hesitation.
Blood splashed everywhere, and everything happened in an instant. Abbie was in shock for a moment when she saw that Michael’s chest was bleeding profusely and she let out an ear-splitting scream.
The bodyguards of the Clark family were waiting at a distance when they saw that Abbie and Michael were having a discussion.
Just then, they realized that something was wrong when they heard Abbie’s scream and rushed over immediately. Meanwhile, Michael crashed heavily to the ground after he was stabbed.
Azalea didn’t expect Michael to be reckless enough to block the knife for Abbie, so she pulled out the knife forcefully and threw it at Abbie, who was frozen in shock.
Just then, the bodyguard arrived in time and kicked Azalea so hard that she spat out a mouthful of blood. After she fell to the ground, another bodyguard stepped forward and gave her a vicious kick on the back. The sound of her ribs breaking echoed all around and she ended up laying motionlessly on the ground. She was bleeding profusely from her mouth and nose.
When Abbie saw Michael fall down, she reacted quickly and hurriedly reached out to grab him.
Her scream from before was so loud that Donald and Helen quickly went out to check what was going on.
Donald was also frightened when he saw what had happened and made an emergency call while the bodyguards called the police.
Michael was sent to the hospital by the ambulance that came later. Azalea was also sent to the hospital at the same time because she was beaten into a pulp by the bodyguards.
William rushed to the hospital when he received the call. Michael was being rescued in the operating room with the Clark family waiting outside.
When Wayne and Meadow arrived at the hospital, Wayne had tears were streaming down his cheeks. “Michael, you must survive this! You’re still so young and Emma hasn’t even called you Dad yet. You have to hold on! I’m begging you!”
Tears streamed down Meadow’s face as she blamed herself. “It’s all my fault! I must’ve lost my mind! How could I have offended such a vicious woman!”
Donald and Helen had grim expressions as well. After all, Michael had gotten injured in order to protect Abbie and they felt guilty seeing the Davis family like this.
William asked the nurse a few questions and learned that the best doctor in the hospital was currently trying to save Michael.
Wayne looked extremely frail as he grabbed William’s hand and said, “William, will Michael get through this?”
William didn’t have the ability to confirm this and he only knew that Michael had been stabbed in the chest. Michael was in critical condition now, but William couldn’t bear to see Wayne like this. “Don’t worry, the experts are saving him inside. Nothing will happen to Michael.”
William’s reassuring words managed to comfort Wayne, who asked again, “William, what’s going on? Azalea was staying in the countryside, but why did she suddenly come back?”
William sighed and said, “Azalea did such a drastic move because she understood the situation she was in. She killed three people, and the police have been trying to arrest her. In fact, Michael knows that she killed someone, but he didn’t expect that she would be in B City. This wouldn’t have happened if we were more careful.”
“How did Azalea get into the villa area?” Donald asked, “Someone must be helping her! Who is it?”
William gave a wry smile and said, “Who else could it be?”
Who else could do this, except for Leonard?
Everyone was silent for a moment before Wayne’s eyes turned livid. “How can he be so vicious? I can’t spare him! I will kill him at any costs if something happens to Michael!”
Michael had gotten seriously injured because he was protecting Abbie, and Azalea was in critical condition after she was beaten up by the bodyguards of the Clark family. Leonard’s face darkened when he heard this. “Azalea, this b*tch! I wanted her to attack Michael, but she went against my orders. I can’t believe it!”
“That’s right. If Michael hadn’t blocked the knife for Miss Clark, she would be the one lying in the hospital now. Azalea is such a vicious wench!”
“Since we’ve already gotten to the point of no return, go and find out if Michael has any chance of survival.”
“He’s still being rescued, but I heard that he lost too much blood after Azalea’s knife stabbed into his heart. It’s unlikely that he’ll stay alive.”
“That’d be the best outcome!” Leonard took a few steps forward. “We can’t let Azalea live either and I have to think of a way to get rid of her. I can’t let her expose that we were the ones behind this! Otherwise, I won’t be able to explain everything to Abbie!”
The assistant said, “There’s a police outside Azalea’s ward. It’s not easy…”
“Then think of a way! I don’t believe that it’s impossible. Get someone to keep an eye on Azalea and make a move once there’s a chance!”
Michael was transferred to the intensive care unit after he had gone through a six-hours operation. Aftrer that, Wayne eventually left with Stanty and Meadow under William’s persuasion.
Donald and Helen also left, while Richard and William stayed behind.
The two of them had been waiting for so long until they were both hungry. William looked at the time and said, “I’ve arranged for someone to take over, so let’s go eat first.”
Richard nodded and followed William out of the hospital. Then, the two of them found a restaurant near the hospital and ordered some food.
Richard sighed. “Will he be okay?”
“It’s hard to say. The doctor said that he’ll be fine if he gets through this critical period, so they have to keep an eye on him. Tonight and tomorrow will be extremely crucial.”
“There’s no doubt about his sincerity towards Abbie. If he can make it through this, I won’t stop him anymore.”
William nodded. “Michael will definitely make it through for the sake of Abbie and Emma.”
“Leonard is so vicious! I gave him a chance because he saved Abbie, but I didn’t expect him to do this. He must’ve taken Azalea here as well! I will never let him go no matter what.”
There was a murderous look on William’s face. “Leonard will no longer have a chance to stay in the country after this incident. I will make sure that he will never be able to step foot here for the rest of his life.”
