Elizabeth dodged Terry’s knife with a quick roll.
“Stop dodging! Terry yelled, veins popping on his forehead,
Elizabeth wasn’t dumb; of course, she’d dodge.
Terry glared as Elizabeth stood up, a silver needle slipping into her fingers from her sleeve.
Realizing he couldn’t get close Tr
get close, Terry turned to Linda.
He grabbed her arm, pulling her in front of him, knife to her neck.
“Let us out, or 111 kill her!‘ Terry shouted.
Elizabeth was shocked by Terry’s shamelessness.
“Terry, she r your wife. You’ve been together for years!” Elizabeth reminded him.
But to Terry, Linda was just a tool for having kids. How sad.
*Stop talking and let us out, Terry demanded.
Elizabeth checked her watch. The police should be here by now.
“Dr. Percy, please let us go!” Linda cried.
Elizabeth was a good person; Linda didn’t want her involved.
Elizabeth looked outside: Amanda and hospital security were there. The crowd had been evacuated.

Terry heard the noise and sensed trouble. “You called the cops?” he cursed.
Did Terry expect Elizabeth to risk her life
without calling the police?
“It wasn’t me,” Elizabeth said seriously..
“You think I’ll believe you? You always meddle! Terry pressed the knife closer to Linda’s neck.
*Let us go, or I’ll kill her!‘ Terry threatened.
Elizabeth laughed. Did Terry think threatening her with Linda would work?
“Terry, Linda and I are just acquaintances. She’s your wife. Whether you kill her or not has nothing to do with me.” Elizabeth sighed, sitting casually on the bed. “This is a hospital. Go ahead and kill her we’ll just resuscitate her.”
Terry was stunned; he didn’t expect that
Linda, crying, had blood seeping from her neck.
Frustrated, Terry cursed at Linda, “Diteli, sou? Even the ductor does care about you now!”

“Nonsense!” Terry cursed.
“Or were you born from a rock? Elizabeth rolled her eyes.
The police arrived outside the door.
Terry’s face stiffened.
Seeing the police, he finally felt scared.
Elizabeth noticed his panic and said softly, “If you let Linda go n

Linda, eyes wide, quickly got up and shielded Elizabeth.
The knife plunged into Linda’s stomach.
Blood flowed, but Terry didn’t hesitate as he pulled the knife out.
The police shouted, “Stop!”
The next second, Terry was pinned to the ground.
“Let go of me! Terry cursed
Elizabeth grabbed a bedsheet, pressing it against Linda’s wound. “Linda, don’t be afraid.”
Linda clutched Elizabeth’s sleeve, shaking her head. “Dr. Percy, with you here, I’m not afraid.”
All these years, she had been oppressed until she met Elizabeth at the hospital. Elizabeth was the only one who stood up for her.
