I believe one day, the truth will prevail. However, I doubt if all the sacrifice and damage caused are worth it.
“Joan, give me back my daughter's life!” Out of a sudden, an older man emerged with a knife and charged towards Joan.
Joan was shocked by this scene.
“Joan, look out!” Dustin swiftly pushed her away towards the wall.
The knife was driven right into Dustin's chest, and blood instantly streamed down his body.
“Dustin!” Joan paled in fright as she held his wound in a panic.
Caiden kicked the older man out of the flower shop and immediately escorted Dustin into the car, along with Joan.
The older man with the knife was none other than the father of the victim who was currently lying in the hospital.
Looking at the fresh blood dripping from Dustin's body, Joan bawled out her eyes.
Dustin shut his eyes, but his mouth continued to comfort the woman in front of him. However, it was before long that he ran out of strength to speak.
With that, Joan was weeping in despair like a crazy woman. Soon they arrived at the hospital. At the sight of Caiden, all the nurses and doctors rushed to help Dustin, who had already lost consciousness by that time.
At the entrance, Joan kept stomping her feet while waiting anxiously. Her eyes were filled with complete desperation.
“This is all my fault. I should be the one stabbed.” She kept hitting at her own brain while tears continued to stream down her face. She wished she was the one who got hurt and would not have anyone sacrifice for her, especially not Dustin, whom she had owed so much.
“Joan, calm down. Dustin will be fine.” Caiden hugged her tightly, trying to give her some comfort.
He could not bear looking at the woman he loved suffering in turmoil.
