Scarlett's POV:
'It hurts…' I endured the scathing pain coming from my abdomen and applied pressure on the wound.
Warm, thick blood oozed out from my wound, and it dyed my clothes red through the gap between my fingers.
Charles' face kept flashing through my mind.
'Charles… Is this going to be the end of us?"
I could feel my life slipping from my fingers.
My consciousness was gradually fading, and my vision was starting to blur.
Everything in front of me was slowly being covered by a faint layer of shadow.
All I could see now was Lucia's blood-stained hands and her fiendish face inching closer towards me.
All of a sudden, someone kicked the door of the bathroom open.
Janet arrived just in time to save me, and she kicked Lucia, knocking her down.
The loud bang caused by Lucia hitting the wall made it seem like she was just a piece of garbage being thrown away.
Not long after, the sharp knife in her hand fell to the ground.
Panicking, Tracy ran to my side.
"Scarlett, hold on! We've already called 911!"
‘'I'm safe…’'
As the thought emerged in my mind, I gradually felt relieved.
My vision soon faded and I lost my consciousness.
Charles' POV:
Upon receiving Scarlett's urgent call for help, I felt like all the blood in my body froze over.
