Lilliana was scared witless. She only snapped back to the present when she heard Melinda telling her to call an ambulance.
'Marvin might be downstairs, and that woman is bleeding a lot. Marvin's definitely going to kick me out of the house if he knew I hurt that woman!' thought Lilliana.
At this rate, she thought she might as well be the bad guy until the end.
She brandished the knife in front of her. "Get back! None of you are getting out of this room today!"
Lilliana looked panic-stricken, nonetheless. She knew excessive blood loss would lead to death, but Emily looked fine to her. She would wait until Sherlyn had lured Marvin out before taking Emily to her father's clinic to treat the wound. She was not stupid enough to have Emily's blood on her hand.
Just when she was waiting for Sherlyn to come back after luring Marvin out, she heard a scream coming from downstairs. She could hear the scream as the attic door was open.
'What's going on? Did something happen to Sherlyn?' thought Lilliana.
She became even more anxious when she heard Sherlyn's scream. After thinking over it, she held the knife against Melinda and Lilin, telling them not to come close to her as she slowly backed away, closed the attic door, and locked them inside again before hurrying downstairs to check on Sherlyn.
Only the injured Emily, Melinda, and Lilin were left in the attic.
Lilin continued to cry. "Mommy, what are we going to do? Is Miss Emily going to die?!"
Not wanting to scare the girl, Emily endured the pain and squeezed out a smile at her. "Don't worry, Lilin. I'm okay. We're all going to be okay."
"But...you're bleeding so much!" whimpered Lilin.
At that moment, Melinda forced herself to stay calm. While still holding onto Emily, she looked around the tiny attic and said to her daughter, "Lilin, stop crying. Go get the bedsheet and tear it into strips for me. I'll bandage it around Emily to stop the bleeding."
Lilin immediately wiped her tears away and did as she was told.
Meanwhile, as soon as Sherlyn opened the door, she was frightened by a group of tall men dressed in black suits and sunglasses standing outside.
The men's shadow completely enveloped her, causing her to instinctively step back by the intimidating pressure.
"Who... Who are you? W-Why did you ring our doorbell?" she stammered fearfully.
The lead man sported a buzz cut. He was wearing sunglasses too, but he was the only one wearing a tie.
