Blood flowed out from Sebastian's hand where the knife had struck, but he remained calm. Sabrina,still nestled in Sebastian's arms, was so shocked that she started to tear. "Sebastian, you... is your hand bleeding?”
She had called his name using that tone before only when they had been in front of Aunt Grace.
Sebastian knit his eyebrows and exclaimed in a low voice, "Why are you crying?!"
Meanwhile, the woman who tried to stab Sabrina had been kicked away by Kingston.
She spat out a mouthful of blood.
Sebastian then took out the knife that was lodged in his hand, which prompted Sabrina to hold his injured hand in hers. Watching Sebastian bleed more and more frightened Sabrina so much that she started to tremble.
However, Sebastian only smiled coldly at her. "When you stabbed Kenton, wasn’t there a lot of blood as well?"
Sabrina said, distressed, "I only injured him to protect myself. At that moment, I was so furious that I wanted to kill him, even forgetting my fear in the meantime. Yet, now..."
As she looked back at Sebastian's hand, now covered i n blood, as well as the open wound where the knife was stuck in, her tears continued to fall.
"I won’t die from a small wound like this! Take out your scarf and stop the bleeding for me!" Sebastian instructed.
"Yes." Sabrina frantically undid her scarf and pressed i t against Sebastian's arm in an attempt to stop the bleeding.
Meanwhile, Kingston had managed to subdue the woman and trap her on the ground with his foot. As h e kneeled down to look, he thought that she looked familiar. "Young master, I know this woman!"
Sebastian asked back, "Who is she?”
"Either the sixth or seventh mistress that Kenton has outside? It could be the eighth too. She's around thirty this year, and had a kid with Kenton a few years ago. After you took away most of Kenton's assets, he only had a bit of money left in his hands, though it was probably all taken away by his sons and his first and second wives. I doubt there was anything left for this woman. She probably decided to pin the blame on Miss Scott?"
The woman still tried to shout despite being under Kingston's feet. "You b*tch, my husband wanted you because he fancied you! You turned him into a cripple without thinking, and didn't show him any mercy as you took away his wealth! Do you know that without
Kenton, my son and I won't be able to live? You b*tch! B*tch!"
