Chapter 4
Loraine rolled down many flights of stairs before finally landing heavily on the floor.
The repeated blows to her head created a deep wound, causing blood to start gushing out.
Sharp pain coursed through her body, making her dizzy and eventually causing her to pass out.
Just as everything began to fade to black, she saw Marco rushing over.
He strode straight past her, choosing to pick up Keely and carry her away, leaving Loraine to lie in a pool of her own blood.
Di You
In the hospital
"Miss, you can't go in there! The patient is still very weak and needs rest."
"Fuck off! I know Loraine is in there. You can't stop me!"
Loraine heard a commotion and struggled to open her eyes.
Turning her head, she watched as Marina Bryant pushed the nurse away and stomped over to her, glaring ferociously with murderous intent.
"Loraine, you vile woman! Keely's been struggling with recovery. How dare you push her down the stairs! Just you wait and see. Marco won't let you get away with this!"
Loraine, still weak, struggled to sit up. "I didn't push her; she pushed me!"
Marina sniffed. She didn't trust Loraine at all. "No one will believe your nonsense! Keely comes from a rich family. Why would she hurt a lowly country girl like you? You're just jealous because my brother loves her, and you want her dead. Well, that's not going to happen!"
Loraine, unable to defend herself, searched desperately for clues that could prove her innocence.
Just then, Marco entered the room. He seemed upset. Loraine looked up at him hopefully, as though he was her Last hope.
"Marco, I didn't hurt Keely. Please believe me!"
Marco looked down at Loraine coldly. When he spoke, his voice was strained.
"Loraine, that's enough. I don't want to hear your excuses. Wrongdoings deserve to be punished. Keely's kidney was seriously damaged by the fall, and yours is the only match."
"Yes!" Marina shouted.
"You damaged Keely's kidney, so you should compensate her with one of yours!"
Loraine's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Take her to the operating room!" Marina shouted at Marco's bodyguards.
