Chapter 6
“Blood? What blood?” Beckett frowned, instinctively reaching toward the back of her head.
The fresh blood on his hand was shocking.
Beckett’s face went pale as he shouted at the gathering crowd: “Why are you all crowding around?! Call 911–quick, call 911!!!!”
His voice trembling, Beckett pressed her pressure point: “Selene? Selene!”
“Stop shaking her, you idiot!” Cassian pushed through the crowd, checking her pulse and frowning: “She’s really unconscious. We need to get her to the hospital.”
The crowd panicked, saying someone might die, throwing the auditorium into chaos.
The school medic rushed over with a stretcher, dispersing the crowd: “Quick! Apply pressure to stop the bleeding!”
“Get her on the stretcher–we can’t wait for the ambulance, she needs to get to the hospital immediately!”
The school had professional emergency equipment, and the nearest hospital was only ten minutes away.
Selene was loaded onto the school’s medical transport.
Beckett and Cassian joined several administrators and teachers in the vehicle. The medic worked to stop the bleeding, frowning as he said the situation might be serious.
The two boys followed all the way, Beckett watching anxiously as Selene was rushed into the emergency room.
Cassian pulled him aside, making room for the emergency doctors who’d been called in.
“You’re not the one who pushed her, so why are you panicking?”
Cassian stared at the lit emergency room sign, lost in thought.
“On the way here, I contacted the best neurosurgeon–he’ll be here in ten minutes.”
Beckett’s whole body was rigid, as if in complete shock: “Will she… will she die…”
Cassian scoffed: “If Selene actually dies, Alaric will have committed a real sin.”
“He really was kidnapped as a child. Selene took a bullet for him–otherwise would he even be alive now?”
Beckett was stunned: “That story was true? But didn’t Delilah say Selene’s father was just exaggerating to leech off the Everharts?”
Cassian: “I looked into it. It’s true.”
Beckett: “Then how could Alaric let us keep bullying her-”
Beckett froze.
“Shit, he-” He cursed and dialed a number, but was hung up on.
Cassian sneered: “He thinks not answering will let him escape? The whole school saw what happened today!”
“He’s digging his own grave, and we’re just adding fuel to the fire–now the Vale father and daughter really can make claims on him.”
Then he pulled out his phone and dialed another number: “Hello, Mr. Everhart…”
Chapter 6
An hour later, another team of top specialists brought by the Everhart family entered the emergency room.
Ethan Vale knelt in front of the emergency room doors before everyone, repeatedly slapping himself.
Slapping and crying: “Sel, daddy’s so sorry! Daddy ruined you! I never should have sent you to young master Everhart when you were little!”
“Ethan, please don’t do this–let’s talk calmly-” Mrs. Everhart said with a pale face, trying to pull him up with an awkward smile.
“Daddy destroyed you!”
Several of Mr. Everhart’s bodyguards couldn’t get Ethan to stand up–he continued wailing.
“When you were ten, you almost died saving young master Everhart! That bullet was right next to your heart–you lay in the ICU for months!”
“My poor daughter! How unfortunate your life has been! You’ve only been hospitalized twice in your whole life!”
Mr. Everhart bent down trying to pull him up: “Ethan, this must be a misunderstanding. Selene will be fine. When Alaric gets here, I’ll have a serious talk with him.”
“My life is so hard-” Ethan ignored him completely, beating his chest in anguish.
“Both father and daughter, our lives are so hard! I’ve worked like a dog for the company, devoted everything.
My daughter served as young master Everhart’s servant, took bullets for him, and still gets treated like this–she’s my only daughter!!”
Mr. Everhart’s expression was extremely grim as he impatiently asked his secretary: “Where did that troublemaker go? Why isn’t he here yet! After causing such a disaster, where is he hiding!”
The secretary showed him the phone’s location tracking, his tone somewhat difficult:
“Mr. Everhart, the young master won’t answer his phone. The GPS shows he’s also at this hospital.
