Chapter 425
“I… I must have forgotten it,” he stuttered, clearly panicking.
Sadie’s instincts screamed that something was terribly amiss.
“Who are you really? What are you trying to do?” Sadie’s voice grew louder and trembled with fear.
Abruptly, the man revealed a gleaming dagger hidden under his coat. The blade shimmered threateningly as he lunged at Sadie.
“Argh!” Sadie yelled, recoiling too late as the blade sliced her arm, sending a jolt of pain through her and drenching her sleeve in blood.
With his disguise compromised, the man’s expression turned malevolent. He turned and dashed away.
“Help! Someone help me!” Sadie shouted for help as her strength faded and her vision grew dim.
Blood spilled onto the clean white sheets, spreading quickly.
As her consciousness slipped away, Sadie collapsed onto the floor, succumbing to the darkness enveloping her.
At Wall Group.
“Mr. Wall, bad news!” Samuel burst into Noah’s office, his entrance hasty, his face ashen.
Noah continued his paperwork, seemingly undisturbed.
“What’s causing your panic?”
“Mrs. Wall got injured at the hospital,” Samuel explained, his voice cracking, his forehead beaded with sweat.
Noah’s pen stopped abruptly, leaving an ink blot on the paper.

“Repeat that.”
“There was an attempt on Mrs. Wall’s and Mrs. Stewart’s lives,” Samuel said, his voice trembling, avoiding Noah’s intense gaze.
The cold in Noah’s office was evident, as if his very presence had caused the temperature to drop sharply.
As he sprang from his seat, his pen tumbled from the desk, unnoticed, and hit the floor.
His voice was low and filled with barely restrained fury as he demanded,
“What happened?”
“A man posing as a doctor sneaked into Mrs. Stewart’s room,” Samuel blurted out, his words rushing to keep pace with his thoughts. “Mrs. Wall caught him attempting to inject Mrs. Stewart with something unknown. He attacked her with a dagger and escaped.”noveldrama
“What’s the situation now?” Noah’s voice was cold.
Samuel froze for a moment, not understanding which part Noah was asking about. After a while, he replied,
“The attacker… he got away.”
Noah’s look was piercing.
“I’m not asking about him. How is she?”
Realizing his mistake, Samuel quickly replied,
“Mrs. Wall’s condition has stabilized; it was just a minor cut. She’s already been treated and bandaged. The doctors said because she reacted so fast, the cut was shallow and missed any vital areas.”
Noah’s voice was cold and firm as he commanded,
“Get guards to the hospital now. I don’t want so much as a fly getting through.”
“Absolutely, Mr. Wall,” Samuel answered, preparing to leave.
