In the evening, Rena lay in bed and couldn’t help feeling a little scared. She picked up her phone and called Waylen. They talked for half an hour. After that, Rena started feeling sleepy.

Early morning the next day, she woke up and found little dark circles under her eyes. She used a lot of foundation to cover them up.

After taking Alexis to school, Rena got back in the car.

The driver had gone to the bathroom.

At this time, Rena’s phone rang. It was Vera calling.

Rena answered the phone and said with a smile, “We just met for coffee yesterday. Do you want to go out again today?”

Vera sounded a little nervous. “No. I just have something important to tell you. Remember that homicide I told you about yesterday? About that poor man who got slashed and bled to death? Well, three more people were killed in the same manner last night, and I heard it was the same attacker.”

Rena was shocked. There were four victims now.

No.

The whole thing was just too bizarre! And there must be more to the story.

Vera sighed and added, “All four victims have Rh-negative blood. Weird, isn’t it?”

Rena felt her blood run cold.

Rh-negative blood.

Everyone who had Rh-negative blood in Duefron had been killed. Surely, the killer’s ultimate target was clearly… Alexis.

Just then, there was a commotion at the gates of Alexis’ school.

Screams of children filled the air as well as the smell of blood. There was a skinny woman in red.

Elvira stood in the crowd.

She had a knife in her hand, which she used to slash Alexis’ shin. Blood flowed down the poor little girl’s soft, tender leg.

Everything seemed to have gone still.

Rena’s heart almost stopped beating.

Elvira cackled and said to no one in particular, “Rh-negative blood, coagulation disorder…

Only a small cut can take your precious daughter’s life.”

Elvira was a psychopath and couldn’t be made to take legal responsibility

She thought that what she couldn’t have, Rena shouldn’t get either.

Alexis’ teacher quickly gave Alexis a styptic enzyme, but Elvira had cut Alexis too deeply, and the bleeding wouldn’t stop.

Blood just kept gushing out.

Blood… Alexis needed Rh-negative blood.

Elvira looked at Rena and flashed her a deranged smile. Elvira had killed all the Rh-negative blood suppliers.

After cutting Alexis, Elvira turned around and ran away.

Rena’s whole body trembled. She clenched her fists.

It took her a few moments to snap back to her senses.

Rh-negative blood… Elvira had Rh-negative blood. Elvira was the only one left who could donate blood to save Alexis life. ©

Rena had to catch Elvira. She needed Elvira’s blood to save her daughter.

Rena climbed into the driver’s seat and kicked off her high heels.

Many years ago, she injured her feet, and the doctor recommended her never to drive again. She hadn’t driven in the last five years, but now she had to for Alexis. She decided to give it ago.

Rena fixed her eyes on Elvira and stepped on the gas.

The black limousine lurched toward the fleeing Elvira. A few heartbeats later, there was a loud bang, and Elvira fell to the ground.

Bang}!

Elvira found herself brutally knocked down, a crimson pool spreading beneath her.

Gripping the steering wheel, Rena trembled, grappling with the weight of her mental disorder. ©

Yet, she couldn’t spare a moment to ponder on it.

All she cared about was Alexis’ safety, should Elvira manage to escape.

Security guards from the kindergarten intervened and controlled Elvira, prompting a call to the police.

The scene was fraught with fear and chaos, leaving Alexis in tears.

As Rena stepped out of the car, her trembling persisted.

Taking Elvira to the hospital was imperative but explaining the situation to others seemed an insurmountable task.

Could she spirit Elvira away? Would the police let her do so?

In that crucial moment, a warm hand enveloped hers. “Rena, don’t be afraid. I’m here,” a reassuring voice said.

Startled, Rena spun around.

It was Waylen.

The sight of him sapped her strength, and she could only manage to utter his name in a quivering voice, “Waylen.”

Gently clasping her hand, Waylen rasped, “Leave it to me.”

With resolve, he hurried over to Alexis, producing a styptic enzyme from his pocket and handing it to her.

Both Alexis’ legs were now stained with blood.

Waylen’s heart ached for her. Cradling her in his arms, Alexis leaned against him, her tear-streaked face pleading, “Dad… It hurts.”

He kissed her forehead and hoarsely assured, “Dad will take you to the hospital.”

Time was of the essence. Handing Alexis over to Rena, he urged, “Get in the car.”

Next, he lifted Elvira from the ground, making a call to police chief. “Mr. Hopper, it’s me, Waylen. A heinous incident occurred at the entrance of my daughter’s kindergarten. My wife subdued the assailant, but the perpetrator’s life might be in danger. We’ll take her to the hospital for now… Alright, understood.”

Upon exchanging a few words with the police chief, Waylen ended the call.

Elvira seemed to finally grasp the gravity of the situation. Her lips quivered as she hoarsely protested, “No. No. Waylen… You wouldn’t do this to me.”
