I’m Someone Else

Who is he? And why does he hate the Pearsons so much? Based on his posture, he’s going for her carotid artery. That’s where blood flows the fastest bar the heart. If that hit connects, Olivia will die immediately. Even if she could last until she got to the hospital and had her bleeding stopped, the venom would’ve spread across her whole body. She’d be beyond help.

Thomas’ skills in medicine were top-tier among the people in this city. Even Quincy said he was better than him, but not even Thomas could save Olivia should the venom run its course.

The masked man raised his hand and was about to strike, but Thomas tapped the man’s shoulder lightly right at that moment.

“Huh?” The man was startled. He was sure no one else was in the condo when he broke in. So, who’s behind me? Despite his surprise, he didn’t make a sound, or he’d have woken up Olivia.

Thomas quickly held the man’s nape with one hand and his wrist with the other. Trying to kill her, huh? You’re done for. She’s my friend, and anyone who tries to touch her has to face me.

The masked man was trained in martial arts as well, so he reacted quickly to the attack. Before Thomas could do anything, he flicked his other hand, and three little knives buried themselves in Thomas’ chest.

Thomas was caught by surprise, and a stab of pain flared from his chest. When he snapped out of it, the masked man had already run off, and Thomas coughed up blood. He still hadn’t fully healed from the explosion last time, and now he had gotten some new injuries over the old ones. Now is not the time to go after him. I have to make sure Olivia’s fine. He could’ve poisoned her before I came.
