Chapter 84
Dahlia’s eyes were puffy and red from crying her voice filled with desperation. “Please, just let my daughter go We can talk about whatever you want. She’s innocent, I beg you. Don’t hurt herl
In a bid to convince the captor to release Sandy, Dahlia night in front of Chades, suddenly dropped to her knees, bowing deeply
She kept bowing even when her forehead started bleeding. It was almost like she couldn’t feel the poin
Charles face changed drastically. He shook off Evelyn’s grip and rushed inside
Already feeling woozy. Evelyn stumbled and fell to the floor when Charles pushed her aside. She had to lean against the wall, and it took her a few seconds to shake off the dizziness and look up
From where she lay, she could see the side of Dabba’s face. Between her bows, Dahlia seemed to shoot a glance at the man holding Sandy It wasn’t a look of fear of pleading, but like she was sending some kind of message…
Evelyn blinked, unsure if she was seeing things night. Could Dahlia really be so desperate to frame Evelyn that she’d hurt her own daughter?
Before Evelyn could get a better look, Dahlia had bowed her head again.
The man suddenly snapped. Innocent? Your daughter will only grow up to be trouble, just like you. You both deserve to go to hell.”
As Charles charged forward, the man lifted the kitchen knife he was holding and aimed it at Sandy’s chest
*Note
Dahlia’s eyes went wide with terror, and she let out a piercing scream. She scrambled to her feet and rushed forward recklessly. She managed to push Sandy just enough to dodge a lethal blow, but the knife still caught Sandy’s arm, slicing through her pajamas and leaving a long gash on her soft skin. Blood was gushing out immediately.
Sandy, who had been too temfied to speak, now cried out in pain, calling for Dahlia. “Ah… it hurts. Mommy, it hurts so much.”
“Sandy”
Hearing her daughter’s criestore Dahlia apart. She held Sandy tightly, pressing on the wound with a face full of anguish
The man, furious at missing his target, raised the knife again, ready to strike Dahlia. His crazed look made it clear he truly meant to kill them both.
But before he could. Charles rushed over and kicked the man’s wrist, sending the knife clattering to the floor!
With wild eyes, the man lunged for the knife again, but Charles kicked him away before he could reach it.
With a heavy thud, the man crashed to the ground. It felt like his insides were shifting, and his face turned ghostly pale. Still, he was determined and inched toward the knife just out of reach…
Before he could grab it, Charles stepped on his back, pinning him down…
Charles radiated an icy fury, looking at the man as if he were already a corpse. As the man tried to rise, Charles pressed him back down.
“Ugh-
A mouthful of blood spewed from the man’s mouth. He lay pinned, unable to move, completely incapacitated
Charles hurned over to Sandy
“Daddy it hurts so much. Am I going to die? Sandy, pale and lying in Dahlia’s arms, cried as she looked at Charles, the picture of misery.
Charles gently lifted Sandy onto the couch, leaning down to kiss her forehead. “Sweetheart, don’t worry. The doctor’s on the way Daddy’s here, and nothing’s going to happen to you?
