The robber cursed, “Bitches.


    ”


    He extracted a folding knife and directed it toward Ste with a shing motion.


    “Ste, look out!” Lindsay swiftly shielded Ste, using her body to intercept the assant’s assault.


    Upon hearing Lindsay’s outcry, Ste anxiously eximed, “Lindsay!”


    The assant likely perceived an injury and, fearing the potential attention from nearby residents due to the noise, hastily fled the scene.


    Lindsay’s sleeve was already tainted with blood.


    She returned the bag to Ste and grinned.


    “Ste, inspect for any missing items.


    ”


    Observing Lindsay’s concern for the contents of Ste’s bag despite her injury stirred a profound sadness within Ste.


    As the robber seized the knife moments ago, Ste found her thoughts dissipating into emptiness, yet Lindsay instinctively shielded her from harm.


    Ste’s heart swelled with gratitude, yet as she caught sight of the blood staining Lindsay’s arm, a shadow fell across her face.


    “Say nothing.


    Let us prioritize getting you to the hospital.N?velDrama.Org ? 2024.


    Your arm requires immediate attention.


    ”


    Amidst the hospital corridors, Ste anxiously awaited Lindsay’s treatment when a call from Matthew interrupted her thoughts.


    “My tasks areplete.


    I’ll pick you upter for our house viewing.


    ”


    Ste’s voice assumed a grave tone.


    “We’re currently at the hospital.


    ”


    “Hospital?” Matthew’s anxiety spiked immediately.


    “What prompted your sudden hospital visit? Are you injured?”


    Ste said, “It’s not me.


    It’s Lindsay…”


    She recounted the entire ordeal to Matthew, detailing the moment when the robber brandished


    a knife at her, and Lindsay intervened to shield her from harm.


    As she concluded her narrative, Lindsay emerged from the hospital room, having tended to her injuries.


    “Which hospital are you in? I’ll pick you up,” Matthew offered.


    However, Ste refused.


    Looking at Lindsay talking to the doctor not far away, she hurriedly said, “No, thanks.


    Lindsay has been bandaged.


    I’ll take her hometer.


    You can go home directly.


    ”


    Then, she hung up, put her phone away, and walked toward Lindsay.


    The doctor was exining to Lindsay about wound care.


    “You can get the medicine now.


    Remember not to wet your wound.


    Then, start applying the medicine tomorrow.


    ”


    Ste remembered the doctor’s words in detail and asked him about the condition of Lindsay’s injury.


    The doctor said, “The wound is not too deep, so we didn’t suture it.


    Light diet for now and take good care of the wound until it heals.


    Don’t worry.


    It won’t leave any scars.


    ”


    Ste breathed a sigh of relief.


    After thanking the doctor, she took Lindsay to the cashier to pay the bill and then went to the pharmacy to get the medicine.
