was about to beg for mercy on Arthur’s behalf, but when she saw Eric’s determined expression, she was so scared that she shrunk back, not daring to utter a word.After Arthur was tossed out, Eric grabbed Emma’s neck with his hand. There was cold bloodlust on his face as he said, “And you. Remember, if you do anything to harm Elspeth, I won’t let you off either!”Emma was in so much pain that her tears were threatening to fall. “Understood.”Elspeth, Elspeth again!When Eric decided that it was enough, he flung her onto the bed. He clapped his hands, and a butler immediately appeared. “Lock her up,” Eric ordered.“As you wish.”“Don’t go about causing trouble before your face has healed.”With that, Eric turned around and left.In the hospital, Callum stood guard at the entrance of the operating room, his heart especially anxious.Not long after, a doctor walked out. “Fortunately, the patient held her breath underwater for a long time, so she didn’t inhale too much water.
