Chapter 3

Inside the hospital, chaos reigned as the place was packed with agitated family members of a patient.

By the time Kade arrived with security to maintain order, Scarlett was already surrounded by the furious family members of the patient.

"You bitch! You killed my son! A life for a life!!"

They yanked at Scarlett's hair and slapped her face repeatedly.

"What are you doing? Who gave you the right to beat her?" Kade pulled Scarlett behind him, but the family members of the patient were past all reason at this point.

In the chaos, one of them took out a sharp knife and aimed it at Scarlett.

In that critical moment, Joslyn felt a push from behind, a forceful shove that sent her directly toward the knife's point before she could even react.

"Thud!" Time seemed to freeze at that instant, and all Joslyn could hear was the dull sound of the knife piercing through flesh.

Her body went limp as she collapsed heavily to the floor.

Driven by an instinctive fight for survival, she struggled to open her eyes and was desperate to know who had pushed her.

But all she could see was endless darkness.

Yet, Joslyn soon found out who it was.

"Kade, I didn't mean it. I was just so scared just now. I pushed Joslyn without thinking. I never thought she would get hurt like this..." Scarlett cried and deliberately pressed down on Joslyn's stomach, causing blood to gush from Joslyn's wound.

Joslyn was in excruciating pain and even fainted multiple times. But she was unable to utter a word at that moment.

Kade comforted Scarlett for a long time before Scarlett stopped crying.

After that, Joslyn was taken to the operating room.

"Joslyn, don't worry. I've got the best surgeon in Mexwell for you. There won't be any scars." Kade was guilty and made a promise while holding her hand tightly.

But Scarlett was extremely jealous. She picked up the fallen knife and viciously slashed her own hand.

"Kade, my hand is injured. It hurts so much." With a cry of pain from Scarlett, Kade summoned all the hospital's doctors immediately.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Palmer. Miss Stevens insists on a skin graft, and Mr. Lloyd has asked us to proceed without anesthesia to maintain the integrity of the transplant." A doctor's guilty voice reached Joslyn as he returned after being summoned by Kade.

The next moment, the scalpel pierced Joslyn's flesh.

Once again, Joslyn's heart was shattered by Kade.

She trembled in pain and wanted to cry, only to find her tears almost exhausted from crying over Kade. Only a few tears slowly ran down her cheek.

"Kade, how ruthless you are... I hate you so much!"
