As the knife pierced N’s hand, she let out a muffled groan, her face turning pale from the pain. Blood flowed from her wound, creating a gruesome sight.


    Lucia smirked and pulled the knife out, causing blood to spurt.


    N bit her lip hard to stifle a scream.


    Lucia’s smirk widened at N’s pained but restrained expression.” Didn’t think you were this tough. Let’s see how long you canst.”


    Lucia raised the knife again, aiming for N’s heart.


    Just as the de was about to reach its mark, a sharp pain shot through Lucia’s wrist, and the knife ttered to the ground.


    Lucia stared in disbelief at the dart lodged in her wrist. She looked up and saw someone running toward her.


    Panicking, she bent down to retrieve the knife, but a powerful kick sent her flying before she could. She hit the ground hard and spat out blood before losing consciousness.


    Spencer quickly kicked the knife away and helped N up. “Ms. Jayston, are you okay?”


    N was shocked to see Spencer. She hadn’t expected him toe to her rescue and wondered how he knew where to find her.


    Still, relief washed over her as she looked at Spencer with gratitude. She knew that without his timely intervention, she would have died at


    Lucia’s hands.


    “Thank you, Mr. Hogg.” N’s voice was weak from her injuries and blood loss.


    Spencer, not daring to take credit, nced behind him at Damon, who

    exuded a cold aura.


    “Mr. Sumner, I’ll go subdue Lucia,” he said.


    “Go ahead,” Damon replied.


    After Spencer left, N looked up at Damon, about to speak, but he suddenly bent down and lifted her into his arms.N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.


    She gasped, instinctively wanting to wrap her arms around his neck. However, she stopped herself, remembering her dirty and injured hands.


    “Mr. Sumner, thank you for rescuing me, but I can walk. Please put me down,” she said.


    Being carried by Damon felt strange to N, especially since he was rk’s uncle. She wanted to keep her distance from him.


    Damon looked down at her and asked, “Are you sure you can walk?”


    N bit her lip, about to insist she could, but Damon was already striding forward with her in his arms.


    She nced up at his resolute expression, her heart skipping a beat. She lowered her head and stayed silent.


    When they reached the ground <i>floor</i>, a doctor was already there.


    After quickly bandaging N’s wounds and stopping the bleeding, the doctor turned to Damon.


    “Mr. Sumner, from the initial examination, Ms. Jayston has only sustained some external injuries. She’s not in immediate danger, but she should still go to the hospital for a thorough checkup. The wound on her hand is deep and needs a tetanus shot.”


    Damon nodded. “Do as you said.”


    N wanted to say she could go to the hospital herself, but one look at Damon’s cold eyes made her hold her tongue.


    She felt that Damon was very angry, exuding a terrifying aura. It was safer not to talk to him right now,


    Soon, Spencer returned with the unconscious Lucia,


    “Mr. Sumner, what should we do with her?” he asked,


    “Break her hands and send her to the police, I don’t want to see her out on the streets again,” he ordered.


    Damon’s voice was chilling, making N tremble. Despite this, she had no intention of pleading for Lucia. After all, Lucia had tried to kill her, so she deserved this oue.


    However, thinking about how Damon had saved her again left her unsure of how to repay him.


    After Spencer and his men left, Damon got into the car and drove N to the hospital.
