Luna was utterly stunned. "How could this be?"

it from Thomas," Christopher said, his expression shifting immediately after. "I only found out but everything I told you last night was true. If you don't believe me, I can get tested."

Luna's astonishment was instantly replaced by embarrassment.

At that moment, the manager seemed to have recalled something. His expression drastically changed, and he hastily left.

Realization belatedly dawned upon the researchers. "Wait a minute. So that's why she was holding that syringe filled with a liquid that looked like blood! She was planning to... Don't tell me last night she was planning to..." Everyone turned to look at Christopher in shock.

Her target last night was Christopher, but now it's Luna What a madwoman. Isabella sighed.

Christopher snorted. "Who knows? Anyway, we should all be on guard whenever she shows up in the future."

Luna was in a daze, replaceing it hard to fathom how things had ended up this way.

Since it was an intentional assault case, they all had to stay behind and cooperate with the police interrogation before they could leave.

Christopher's wound was severe and required stitches, so he was immediately taken to the hospital, accompanied by Hayden.

When Isabella stepped out of the police station, she spotted a tall, slender man standing by a black business car. The man was clad in a grey overcoat, beneath which a glimpse of a black suit could be seen.

Dressed meticulously, he stood rigidly straight. Under his thick long lashes were profound, penetrating eyes that stared intently at the entrance of the police station, patiently waiting for someone.

Though Isabella didn't have feelings for Alexander, she had to admit she felt a sense of security the moment he appeared.

Isabella approached him briskly. Instead of standing there and waiting for her to come to him, he walked over. His legs were long, covering a large distance as he strode toward her. She had barely taken a few step when he reached her, scanning her from head to toe before he finally spoke. "Are you hurt?"

Isabella waved her hands

and said, "No. Why are you here? I thought Hayden arranged for a lawyer to handle it. Once Christopher's wound is stitched up, he can be transferred back. Didn't he tell you?"

Observing that Isabella seemed to be in good spirits, Alexander knew that she hadn't been traumatized. "I couldn't reach him. He's asleep from the anesthesia," he said.

"Shall we head to the hospital now?" Isabella asked.

Alexander gave a slight nod.

Isabella called out to Thalia and saw Luna stride up to them. The latter turned to Alexander and said, "I'm sorry. Christopher is injured because of me..."

"I've already understood the situation. It has nothing to do with you," Alexander said in a businesslike manner. "It's his duty to protect women as a man. Ms. Luna, you needn't worry too much. This won't affect the investment, too."

Isabella looked at Alexander in slight shock. He said so because he didn't want to burden Luna, who had just rejected Christopher, to feel like she was obligated to compromise just because Christopher saved her

life.

Luna, grasping Alexander's meaning, lowered her gaze.

Thinking about his unfortunate younger brother, Alexander spoke up. "We're going to pick up Christopher from the hospital. Would you like to come with us?"

After all, Christopher had risked his life. Alexander still hoped to lift his spirits by bringing Luna there to visit him.

This time, Luna didn't hesitate. Just as she was about to hod, her phone began to ring.

The call was from an unknown number, but the moment she answered it, she recognized the yelling the other end to be Henry's voice.

on

Since she had blocked the contacts of the Cowells long ago, she surmised he must've used someone else's phone to call her.

"Luna, you ingrate! It's bad enough that you ran away from home, but now you've even caused your sister to suffer! You knew perfectly well that she was in poor health, yet you still got involved with such a dangerous man and let your sister take the hit for you! I know you hold grudges, but do you have to

o make your sister pay with her life? Get over here now and look at what you've done!" Henry roared.

"Luna, come to the hospital right now. Your sister has been stabbed multiple times by that lunatic, and... Please, you need to come to the hospital to see her!" Marjorie wept.

The couple sounded urgent on the phone. They talked fast as if they were afraid Luna would hang up on

them.

The anxiety and solemnity in their tones made Luna frown.

Did Bianca die from her injuries?

Although she had given up on the Cowells, she had never thought of taking revenge on them. If Bianca died because of her, she felt that she would be haunted by Bianca for the rest of her life.

That feeling was akin to a nightmare.

The thought of that made Luna stagger and almost lose her balance, but Isabella steadied her.

Unexpectedly, Isabella snatched the phone from her and ended the call before finally turning it off. "Isabella?" Luna stared blankly at Isabella.

Isabella came up with an excuse. "I'm sure she's fine, or the officers would've mentioned something

already. Henry and Marjorie are probably looking to vent their anger on you, so I suggest you go back with your team and focus on preparing the investment report. Ignore anyone who tries to contact you or get in touch with you. Since you've cut ties with them, none of this has anything to do with you."

You can't go! How many times have your parents deceived you? They're just waiting for a chance to take advantage of you! Isabella exclaimed internally.

After some thought, Luna said, "But what about Christopher?"

Upon hearing Isabella's inner thoughts, Alexander frowned. If anything were to happen to Luna, he was sure Christopher would be on edge. Hence, he responded, "We'll explain the situation to him on your behalf. Once we're back, you're welcome to visit him anytime." In the end, Luna decided to leave with the team, her phone remaining switched off.

As soon as Alexander arrived at Christopher's ward with Isabella, Christopher woke up. He was instantly disheartened when he didn't see Luna anywhere,

Hayden couldn't bear to see Christopher like that and grumbled, "Christopher got injured trying to save her, and she didn't even bother to come and visit him?"

Christopher instantly responded in a cold voice, "Hayden, don't say that. I know why she didn't come. She must be worried that I'll use the fact that I saved her to guilt trip her into accepting me. How could I possibly do that? No, I need to get in touch with her and clarify this."

Isabella arched an eyebrow. These two brothers sure are on the same page.

Christopher picked up his phone only to remember he was blocked. Just as he was wallowing in disappointment, Alexander stepped forward and patted him on the head. "She wanted to come."

Christopher's eyes lit up in an instant.

Yeah. She might refuse to accept you, but she's still sensible. Isabella chimed internally.

Christopher felt hurt to hear that and growled inwardly. Don't speak if you don't have anything nice to say! © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Alexander, who heard that too, was speechless.

"Why didn't she come then?" Hayden asked, his curiosity piqued.

"Because Henry and Marjorie are here in the same hospital. The moment Alexander mentioned that, Christopher erupted into anger.

"Are they blaming Luna for this matter and want to pick on her again?" he asked.

They not only want to pick on her. They even want to use her as a spare part! Isabella almost snorted.

Christopher's expression suddenly turned stormy, scaring Hayden. What on earth is going on?

Alexander frowned and heard Isabella's endless internal rants.

Bianca had been stabbed thrice. Henry and Marjorie were in a hurry to summon Luna because two of the wounds had damaged her kidneys. Bianca has always hid weak organs since childhood, and this time, both kidneys are injured. Although it won't lead to life- threatening instant organ failure, her kidneys

certainly won't be able to function normally after this. Hence. Henry and Marjorie made up their minds to seize this opportunity and have Luna donate one of her healthy kidneys to Bianca. They even asked about a skin graft surgery. The final strike landed on Bianca's face, disfiguring her, and she needs skin graft surgery. However, Bianca's body isn't resilient enough to go through that. That's why they came up with the idea to transplant skin from Luna to Bianca. Since they're twins, there is basically no risk of rejection, making it the most suitable solution. What peculiar parents they have. It's like they have the right to divide everything that belongs to their child. How disgusting!

Isabella hadn't finished ranting internally when Christopher suddenly sprang up from the bed.

"Chris!" Hayden exclaimed in astonishment.

Alexander slightly frowned. "Calm down. I'll handle this."

Christopher, however, was seething with anger, his eyes bloodshot. "I've only injured my arm. It's not like I can't move. D'mn it! I'm going to get rid of them and nip this problem in the bud!" After saying that, he rushed out of the ward.
