    The bodyguard saw the de in Bobby''s hand and he saw the de in Avery.


    Avery’s clothes were instantly soaked in red, but thankfully, she was not stabbed in the heart.

    He grabbed the vase on the table to throw it at Bobby, but Avery grabbed him by the arm and


    stopped him. "Take me to the emergency room to stop the bleeding."


    The dagger was still stuck in her flesh and Avery could feel that she was losing more and more


    blood.


    The bodyguard threw the vase away to lift Avery up, before turning to leave.


    "Miss Tate, are you okay?" the bodyguard asked worriedly.


    "It''s just a scratch... It’s not a big deal." Avery was strangely calm, as though she was not the one


    who was stabbed.


    "Why are you so calm, Miss Tate? Why didn’t you let me teach that b*st*rd a lesson? How dare he


    try to kill you? I could just kill him right now!" he gritted out.


    "He wouldn''t stab me in the abdomen if he really wanted to kill me," she lowered her voice and said.


    "Dean Jennings is the one who wants me dead, not Bobby."


    "Dean Jennings has outdone himself this time, Miss Tate. We can''t just let him do whatever he


    wants to us!" Every cell in the bodyguard''s body was screaming to gather a team and charge into


    Dean''s house to take revenge.


    "He has Elliot," she simply said. "I can''t face him off just yet. We need to get Elliot out first..." "Just


    ask Elliot’s men to surround the Jennings'' mansion and force them into releasing him!"


    "I don''t have actual proof that they have Elliot, so I can''t do that either." Avery, too, was frustrated,


    but she knew better than to let it cloud her judgment. "If I act rashly and confront Dean Jennings


    right now, he won''t admit to it because once he does, it’s all over for him; so long as he refuses to


    admit that he kidnapped Elliot, he could seek help from the police."


    "It''s so damn troublesome!" The bodyguard cursed as he carried Avery into the


    emergency room.


    The doctor helped to remove the dagger and swiftly stopped the bleeding before treating the


    wound.


    "Here''s some medicine you need to take home with you. You are on bed rest for the next few days.


    Be careful not to tear your wound," the doctor reminded.


    "Okay."


    The bodyguard epted the bill ;c,>RKV? went to collect the medicine, before helping Avery out of


    the hospital.


    By the time they stepped outside, the sky had turned dark but the blood stain on Avery''s clothes


    was still extremely visible. Not wanting to go home in her current state, she said, "Let’s go to a shop


    to buy clothes for me to change into."


    "You can go lie down in the car, Miss Tate. I will buy them for you." The bodyguard helped her to the


    car and left for the nearest shops after asking for her measurements.


    He was furious, but it looked as though Avery was not going to tell Mike or Hayden about this, so he


    took out his phone to send a message to Mike, informing him of what had happened.


    In the Jennings mansion, Dean was informed of Bobby''s failed assassination shortly after the


    incident. Furious he shouted maliciously, "That useless scum! If he can’t do such a simple thing, he


    shouldn''t live any longer!"


    Ang walked toward him and tapped him on the shoulder. "Avery has been on high alert ever


    since that incident in Ylore. You can''t really me him for not seeding."


    "Anyone who dares to betray me will suffer. " Dean sneered. "Even if I let him live, I will make it so


    that he wishes he were dead."
