Chapter 108
“So you’re one of Lucas’s people too. Lucas must have placed you in Henisburg to liaise between him and James…” Courtney asked, guessing.
Zaid seemed confident that Courtney was doomed, sneering coldly, “You know too much.”
Zaid charged forward, aiming to slash Courtney’s throat..
These people, specially trained, were brutally lethal, with every move being a deadly attack.
Phoebe was so petrified with fear that she didn’t even dare to cry.
Courtney stood firmly in place, tilting her head back right as Zaid’s dagger came at her. In that instant, she stabbed her fruit knife deeply into his carotid
artery.
Courtney’s face turned pale as she held her neck and staggered back, collapsing to her knees while blood poured out through her fingers.
As a doctor, Courtney knew the cut wasn’t deep; it hadn’t hit her windpipe, so she wouldn’t die immediately… but for Zaid, it could be a different story.
Zaid knelt on the ground, clutching the fruit knife lodged in his neck, staring at Courtney in shock and rage.
“I’ve pierced your carotid artery. If you pull the knife out now, you’ll be dead for sure, Courtney.
y said through clenched teeth, still pressing on her neck.

Picking up the dagger from the ground, Courtney grabbed Zaid’s hair, pressing the dagger to his neck once more as she faced the people hallway, allowing blood to flow from her neck wound without restraint.
Her blood soaked through her white T–shirt. Her pale face held eyes full of bleak despair, with no instinct to survive, yet somehow it was even more terrifying, “Back of, or l
I kill him….
Zaid didn’t dare to move or pull out the knife. He signaled his people to step back.
Those people were thugs,
s, unused to such scenes, and backed away in fear.
Zaid never expected to be caught off guard by such a frail–looking woman…
“You’ve been to South Weidan, haven’t you?” Courtney muttered, blood still dripping from her neck. “That place is hell…”
Courtney’s vision was startin
starting to go dark. Struggling to stay conscious, she gave Zaid a faint smile. “But here, it’s your hell.”
Tyson shouted, “This is the police!”
Just as Courtney finished talking, Carl and Tyson showed up with policemen and surrounded the area.
Courtney had texted Tyson, and he arrived faster than expected…
Gently letting go of Zaid, Courtney held her neck and stepped back, her eyes red as she looked at the panting Tyson. “He’s Lucas’s man, don’t let him
die.”
Alter saying that, she blacked out and fell forward.
“Courtney!” Tyson rushed over, catching her as his breathing became more frantic “Courtney…”
He yelled, “Call an ambulance! Ambulancel”

Chapter 108
Phoebe cried, “Courtney..”
Before Courtney completely lost consciousness, her world was a chaotic mix of Tyson’s voice, Phoebe’s cries, and Carl’s shouting…
She thought, ‘So noisy.”
She remembered what Hayden said, “Courtney, if I can’t make it back home, could you put this on my parents‘ grave and visit them for me?
“Courtney, run! Don’t look back!
“Courtney, don’t look back…“.
In the end, her world fell silent, leaving only Hayden and Mark’s voices
In this world, besides Mark, Hayden was the second person who made her run without looking back
But they all died to save her
She thought, ‘Why wasn’t I the one who died?
“Why?”
Courtney murmured, “Hayden, don’t die, please, I have nothing left…”
She really had nothing left
And now, Hayden also left her.
“Courtney!”
Suddenly waking up, Courtney looked around, breathing quickly.
She was already in a ward.
“Don’t worry, this is a military hospital. It’s completely confidential and safe. James and Marilyn’s people definitely can’t find this place.” Tyson reassured her, sitting by the bed.
Courtney looked out the window; it was already dark.
She thought, “Have I been unconscious for so long!”
“The cut isn’t deep. You just lost a lot of blood, but you’ll recover quickly,” Tyson said again.
“Is Zaid dead?” Courtney asked lightly.
“You were precise with the knife, and he didn’t pull it out quickly. He survived,” Tyson murmured, his gaze at Courtney becoming more complicated.
Maybe he could understand why someone like Hayden ended up infatuated with Courtney
She was too calm when she faced life–threatening danger.
cary way made her scary
Calm in an almost scary way
No wonder, considering she spent five years in South Weidan.

But they told him you were sent to a mental hospital by Austin… He changed the plan, ran to save you, and then disappeared.”
Courtney said nothing, just stared at the ceiling as tears rolled down her face, soaking her hair.
“He wanted me to give this to you.” Tyson stood up, placed a letter next to Courtney’s pillow, and left the hospital room.
At the doorway, Phoebe cautiously asked, “Sir, will she die?”
Tyson shook his head. “She won’t de
