Clara watched lan, drenched in blood, her face a canvas of tears-or was it the water from earlier?
Just then, her bodyguard, who had been secretly protecting her all along, appeared on the scene. They rushed lan to the hospital.
Thirty minutes later, lan was whisked into the emergency room for urgent care.
Clara stood soaked in the hospital corridor, shivering. Dawson promptly offered comfort, "Attorney Clara, you've got a nasty cut on your back. You should get that seen to immediately, or it could get much worse."
Clara shook her head vehemently. "No, I'm staying right here until he's out."
"Attorney Clara, even in his critical state, Mr. Hayes took care of your wound first. He wouldn't want you to suffer. If you don't get treated now and miss the window for the best care, wouldn't you be letting down Mr. Hayes' good intentions?"
Dawson truly was a top-notch assistant, always in tune with lan's wishes.
Without further struggle, Clara followed the doctor to the treatment room. By the time her wounds were attended to, lan's surgery was complete.
She watched him lying on the hospital bed, pale and unconscious, her usually icy heart trembling. She sat by lan's bedside, tears streaming down her face.
If lan hadn't shown up today, she might have been disfigured, or worse, lost her life. Mulling over this, Clara's sorrowful gaze turned steely.
She reined in her emotions and turned to Dawson. "Dawson, did they catch that man?"
"Yes, he's been taken to the police station. According to his confession, he's a fan of that celebrity from your last case. You won the celeb's girlfriend's case, destroying his reputation. That's why he sought revenge on you."
Clara pondered for a moment, then said, "Check his social media and all his bank account details for me. I don't think this is just a fan's revenge. I'll handle this case myself and make sure he spends the rest of his life behind bars!"
There was a chill in her eyes that wouldn't thaw, and she radiated an unprecedented authority. Even Dawson, who had weathered many storms with lan, was taken aback by this version of Clara. He couldn't help but silently cheer for Mr. Hayes, 'Your woman is furious, and she's doing it all for you. You better grab this chance, man.'
Dawson immediately replied, "Right away, I'm on it."
After giving her statement to the police, Clara returned to the room just in time to see Heidi crying a river beside the bed.
Clara couldn't help but scoff internally. In the dead of night, none of the Hayes family knew of the incident, yet Heidi was well-informed. A flicker of suspicion crossed Clara's eyes.

As Heidi wept, she noticed Clara standing at the doorway. Wiping away her tears, she accused, "Clara, lan was injured trying to save you. Can't you be a little kinder to him?

Clara let out a soft chuckle, "Oh, I'm touched. But I'm not as naïve as you, Ms. Heidi, believing that saving a life means Kowe him mine. What era are we living in where people still use that to guilt someone? I'm not that shameless. Don't you agree, Ms. Heidi?" The content is on bignovels.com! Read the latest chapter there!
Heidi could not miss the insult, her face turning pale with anger. Biting her lip, she
played the victim. "I never forced lan, nor did I stop him from pursuing you. I just wanted to be like his little sister. Is that too much to ask?"
