As the knife was mere inches from his throat, Bernard raised his hand and seized the other man's wrist. With a forceful twist, he snapped the sanitation worker's wrist, wrenched the knife from his hand, and drove it into his chest. He shoved it in forcefully, causing fresh blood to surge out, staining his sleeve red. He didn't even blink, he just pulled out the knife and viciously plunged it back in…
"Mr. Laurence!"
Aidyn, who was faster to react than Liana, seeing Bernard's murderous intent, rushed to intervene, "You can't kill him. Leave it to me."
The pinned janitor, however, laughed maniacally, "Bernard, if you've got the guts, kill me. Let's see if you can still be the head of the Laurence family as a murderer!"
Bernard ignored Aidyn's warnings and moved the knife across the man's neck—
Aidyn blocked the blow with his hand, instantly opening up a deep wound on his palm. Ignoring the searing pain, he urged Bernard, "Mr. Laurence, don't lose control. Go save Ms. Shultz."
At this point, Liana arrived and knelt down. Seeing the acid corrosion on Eleanor's back, her face turned ashen. Looking around, there were no medical supplies in the empty park, not even a place to rinse her wounds, only the falling rain.
Confined to his wheelchair, unable to move, Garett stuttered out to Liana, "The orphanage... they have fresh water…"
Upon hearing this, Liana forced herself to calm down and looked at Bernard anxiously, "Mr. Laurence, quickly, carry Ms. Shultz to the orphanage!"
Discarding the knife in his hand, Bernard gently lifted Eleanor and sprinted towards the orphanage in a panic. Liana followed suit, and as she brushed past Hailey, she instructed, "Hailey, quickly call the hospital. Get an ambulance!"
Immediately, Hailey stopped in her tracks, took out her shaking mobile phone and started dialing while following them to the orphanage.
In the midst of their chaos, the man dressed in janitor suit burst into a maniacal laughter.
"Hahaha..."
"Eleanor, you wretch, you deserve this!"
