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.
