The situation escted so quickly that I was rooted to the spot in sheer terror, unable to even dodge. I

watched helplessly as the knife plunged toward my heart, and just before it could strike...
In the blink of an eye, a shadow shed like lightning toward the assant, moving too fast for me to
see clearly what was happening. A gust of wind brushed past me followed by a scream, the thud of the
knife hitting the ground, and then I was swept into someone''s arms.
I turned my head, heart hammering, to see Hannah''s face. She shielded me with her body, and I heard
Larkin shout, "Get her out of here!"
"Be careful!" Hannah yelled back before pulling me along and running out the door.
Looking back, I saw several attackers swarming Larkin!
"Come on!" Hannah''s voice was urgent as she yanked me in front of her and, with swift movement,
hoisted me onto her back and ran forward.
When we reached the spot where we''d arrived earlier, an ambnce was already there. I saw Logan
handing Catherine over to the paramedics while curious onlookers gathered, whispering about what
had happened.
Without a word, Logan jumped into the ambnce, and Hannah shoved me in after him, shouting, "Go
on, we''ll be right behind you!" Then she whirled around and dashed back the way we hade. I knew
she was going back for Larkin.
Logan nced at Hannah''s back and asked, "What happened?"
Between gasps for breath, I managed to say, "Someone... attacked me, and Larkin''s fighting them off!"
Logan''s eyes lowered with concern but he kept silent.
The ambnce doors mmed shut and the siren began to wail as the crowd parted. We sped off
towards the hospital.
My eyes were fixed on Catherine who was lying pale and lifeless on the stretcher like a discarded doll,
a blood bag hanging above her.
Tears blurred my vision as I asked Logan, voice tinged with panic, "How is she? Why does she need a
transfusion? She''s going to be okay, right?" I hadn''t noticed her bleeding when Logan had carried her
out.
Logan looked grim. "It''s not good. She''s got a head injury, lost a lot of blood, and she''s been
unconscious for too long..."
I was too frightened to speak or ask more, but my gaze couldn''t move away from her pale face, her
eyshes drooping silently, seeming to be deeply asleep, devoid of the past sassy and lively
appearance. Tears clouded my vision. I sniffled, hastily cleaning my tears while keeping my gaze
locked on her, my heart throbbing with worry. I could only resent how frustratingly slow the car seemed
to be moving.
Logan also looked heavy-hearted, his jaw clenched, revealing that he, too, was restraining himself. He
was firmly holding Catherine''s hand with hisrge hand, clearly showing reluctance.
The ambnce rushed into the hospital doors, and medical staff were ready, rushing Catherine to the
emergency room.
Logan followed closely. I could barely keep up, but I tried to match his pace as best I could.
Suddenly, my arm was held by someone. When I nced sideways, it was Hannah.
Tears welled up as I choked out, "Is Larkin okay?"
She nodded her head reassuringly. "He''s fine, don''t worry. The police have caught the attackers. He''s
dealing with the police now."
I breathed a sigh of relief, and Hannah asked about Catherine. I shook my head, my eyes welled up
again.
She patted my shoulder, saying nothing more.
We joined him, and I tried to offer somefort, "She''ll be okay. She has to be."
But deep down, I was trying to convince myself too.
Soon, Larkin, Dalton, and several officers arrived.
Logan turned to Dalton, "Did you get them? Who are they?"
Dalton nced at me before replying, "Still waiting to interrogate them, but they im Aaliyah owes
them money." Updated at Dr?manovеls.cоm
Everyone put on a helpless smile.
Dalton called out, "Leave two here. The reste with me!"
