The bodyguard saw the blade in Bobby's hand and he saw the blade in Avery.
Avery’s clothes were instantly soaked in red, but thankfully, she was not stabbed in the heart.
He grabbed the vase on the table to throw it at Bobby, but Avery grabbed him by the arm and stopped him. "Take me to the emergency room to stop the bleeding."
The dagger was still stuck in her flesh and Avery could feel that she was losing more and more blood.
The bodyguard threw the vase away to lift Avery up, before turning to leave.
"Miss Tate, are you okay?" the bodyguard asked worriedly.
"It's just a scratch... It’s not a big deal." Avery was strangely calm, as though she was not the one who was stabbed.
"Why are you so calm, Miss Tate? Why didn’t you let me teach that b*st*rd a lesson? How dare he try to kill you? I could just kill him right now!" he gritted out.
"He wouldn't stab me in the abdomen if he really wanted to kill me," she lowered her voice and said. "Dean Jennings is the one who wants me dead, not Bobby."
"Dean Jennings has outdone himself this time, Miss Tate. We can't just let him do whatever he wants to us!" Every cell in the bodyguard's body was screaming to gather a team and charge into Dean's house to take revenge.
"He has Elliot," she simply said. "I can't face him off just yet. We need to get Elliot out first..." "Just ask Elliot’s men to surround the Jennings' mansion and force them into releasing him!"
"I don't have actual proof that they have Elliot, so I can't do that either." Avery, too, was frustrated, but she knew better than to let it cloud her judgment. "If I act rashly and confront Dean Jennings right now, he won't admit to it because once he does, it’s all over for him; so long as he refuses to admit that he kidnapped Elliot, he could seek help from the police."
