There wasn’t enough time for him to turn around and assess the situation, so at that critical moment, he could only use his towering figure to protect Luna from harm.
The de that was originally intended to strike Luna ended up shing Christopher’s shoulder instead.
In an
instant, his white shirt was stained crimson with fresh blood.
By the time Luna rurned around, Christopher was already swaying unsteadily.
Luna’s pupils constricted. “Christopher!”
Screams echoed throughout the hall.
Two male researchers, having regained their senses, rushed forward to stop the man who was still brandishing his knife.
“Zeke! It’s you! Have you lost your mind?” The female researcher, holding the traumatized professor, kept retreating.
“You shameless b*tch! I’ll kill you! Let’s see if you dare to spread rumors again!” The man d in a ck hoodic lifted his head, ring in Luna’s direction. He was none other than Anais‘ ex–boyfriend.
His eyes were wide with rage as he bellowed, ready to charge at her. “If it weren’t for you, Anais wouldn’t have left me to go abroad. You just couldn’t stand to see us happy!”
However, it wasn’t long before several security guards stormed over from behind, surrounding Zeke. Trailing behind them was Thalia, the one who had alerted them.
In a frenzy, Zeke iled his de, desperate to break through the encirclement. However, the security guards chased him further and further away from the crowd.
Due to blood loss, Christopher was drained and copsed to the ground.
Luna was utterly at a loss. The sight of Christopher covered in blood reminded her of the blood–drenched boy who had fallen down the hill years ago.
Her face turned pale in panic as she quickly applied pressure on Christopher’s shoulder to stop the bleeding, her voice trembling. “Ambnce… We need an ambnce!”
The hotel manager, drenched in sweat, rushed over and quickly pulled out his walkie–talkie to call for help. upon seeing <b>someone </b>injured.
“Our hotel <b>has </b><b>its </b><b>own </b>medical team. They’re all highly professional. They will be here shortly, so rest assured, we will handle this.” As the manager spoke, he called an ambnce just in case.
Consumed by worry, everyone gathered around to check on Christopher.
“Thankfully his <b>aorta </b>isn’t <b>injured</b>.”
“It only shed his muscle. Don’t worry, it’s not a severe wound.”

Despite her best efforts, Luna’s hand continued to tremble uncontrobly. Naturally, Christopher, whose wound she was tending to, could feel it.
His lips had turned pale as he managed a weak smile. “Don’t worry, I’m fine.”
“You…” Luna bit her lip, not knowing what to say. Her eyes welled up with tears. “It’s all my fault. If I hadn’t meddled…”
Everyone felt distressed upon hearing this: <i>What </i>bad luck to have encountered such a misfortune.
Christopher could only use his other hand to pat her and clumsily try tofort her. “It’s not your fault. They were the ones in the wrong.
Isabe also approached with a frown.
Seeing her, Christopher immediately said, “Isabe, I owe you one. Thank you.”
This time, he was genuinely grateful for Isabe. If it hadn’t been for Isabe’s timely warning, that de would have truly imed Luna’s life.
The thought of that possibility instilled fear into Christopher. He wasn’t sure how he would live if something happened to Luna.
The realization that <b>Luna </b>had be more significant to him than his own life dawned on him at that critical moment just now.
Luna came to her senses, her gaze filled with gratitude as she looked at Isabe. Others around them also started expressing their relief.
Isabe, however, remained silent, her brows furrowed <b>and </b>her gaze unfocused.
Christopher thought she had been frightened and was about to assure her that he was fine, but then he heard Isabe’s confused inner thoughts.
<i>This </i>is weird. Why is it Zeke?
Christopher was puzzled to hear that.
<i>I </i>clearly saw Bianca waiting to ambush Luna in the hall, intending to use a syringe to infect Luna with the STD. That’s why <b><i>I </i></b>rushed down to stop it.
The revtion rmed Christopher.
When Isabe woke up just now, she was curious about what would happen to Bianca now that Hayden knew about her STD. Hence, she decided to look it up using the system.
<i>If </i>Zeke’s <i>sudden </i>appearance was <i>unexpected</i>, <i>then </i>Bianca must still <i>be </i>lurking in some corner, <i>ready </i>to strike at any
moment!
Christopher’s expression changed drastically in an instant. He instinctively grabbed Luna who <b>was </b>by his
side.
Luna<b>, </b>assuming he was in pain, didn’t shake him off and asked anxiously, “What’s wrong?”

He looked around anxiously.
The very next moment, screams echoed down the distant corridor.

It was the exact direction in which Zeke <b>had </b>fled. Everyone’s expressions changed when they heard at woman’s voice amidst the screams,
Did Zeke identally hurt someone?
Right then, the medical team arrived to tend to Christopher’s wounds. The anxious hotel manager immediately rushed down the corridor with a doctor in tow.
The two male researchers were also quite curious, so they went over to take a look.
Isabe dared not get involved in such a potentially life–threatening situation. Moreover, she had to constantly be on guard for <b>Bianca’s </b>sudden appearance
Despite feeling dizzy from excessive blood loss, Christopher forced himself to stay more alert than Isabe, constantly vignt of <b>his </b>surroundings.
However, it wasn’t long before the manager returned, his face pale, apanied by the two male researchers.
Their anxious gazes fell upon Christopher and Luna.
At that point, Christopher’s wound had already been treated, and the bleeding had stopped.
“What’s wrong?” Christopher asked, “Did he <b>run </b>away?
The manager said, “He was apprehended, but not before he injured others.”
As he spoke, the manager turned to Luna and <b>said</b>, “If Im not mistaken, you must be rted to Ms. Bianca, right?”
Although they shouldn’t be prying into their guests‘ privacy, Bianca <b>and </b>Luna’s faces were strikingly simr.
Upon hearing that, Luna instinctively frowned in disgust.
Christopher asked, “You guys saw Bianca?”
<b>Isabe </b>was taken aback and looked it up using the system<b>, </b>too.
Oh my goodness! How should I put it…
Christopher heard that and became even more confused.
The male researcher finally blurted out in astonishmere, “Bianca was attacked by Zeke. When we got there, Zeke was still screaming… He clearly mistook Bianca for you in his madness. So…”
This is karma I guess. In <i>the </i>past<i>, </i>Bianca used Luna’s identity, heedless of the harm it might cause Luna. And now, she was mistaken for Luna <b>and </b>encountered this mishap…
Everyone who heard <b>that </b>was dumbfounded.

The manager quickly said, “Ms. Bianca has been seriously injured and will need to be sent to the <b>hospital</b>. Ms. Luna, would you go with her?”
Luna wore a pensive expression, deep in thought. After a moment, she made up her mind and stood up, nning to go with the manager.
“Stay out of this. You’re no longer part of the Cowell family, so don’t get involved,” Christopher interjected. How could he possibly allow Luna to get involved with such a dangerous person?
Moreover, there was no telling how Henry and Marjorie would treat Luna upon finding out why Bianca
was attacked.
Christopher grasped Luna’s hand and gave the manager a number. “Get in touch with her parents directly.”
The manager, despite his hesitation, still picked up his phone to make a call under Christopher’s intimidating gaze.
Luna secretly heaved a sigh of relief. She truly didn’t want to have anything to do with that family anymore.
After establishing contact with Bianca’s parents, the manager <b>was </b>about to leave when Christopher suddenly spoke up. “Tell your medical team to be cautious. Bianca has a contagious disease.”
When Christopher announced the name of the contagious disease, the entire hall was enveloped inplete silence.
Everyone couldn’t believe he just blurted out such explosive news in public without regard to Bianca’s privacy.
Christopher sneered. Why should I keep this secret for her considering what she’s nning to do? I have to stop that psychopath from getting the medical team in trouble, <b>too</b>.
