An Eye For An Eye
Time ticked by. Arielle was so focused that she didn’t even know what time it was.
Finally, the last acupoint which was on the brain remained.
In modern medicine, doctors would draw blood to treat stroke patients. It was rare to draw blood in
traditional Chanaean medicine, though.
Drawing blood from the brain was the hardest part of all.
With that, Arielle took a deep breath. She quickly located the acupoint and was about to draw out some
blood when someone pounded on the door.
“Clara! Open the door! The ambulance is here!” It was Yvette’s voice.
As Clara was Yvette’s nanny, she adored the latter and spoilt her a lot.
This time, she glanced at Arielle to gain her approval.
Despite that, Arielle didn’t look up and remained fixated on Russell’s bleeding arm.
Sensing Clara’s gaze, Arielle ordered, “Stop them from coming in!”
Clara hesitated. “But…”
As Clara didn’t open the door as ordered, Yvette realized something was wrong. She pounded even
louder on the door.
“Open the door now! Otherwise, we shall break in now!”
Right then, Clara was starting to pace around anxiously.
“What should we do? Oh, no…”
As the door showed no signs of opening, Yvette got the key from Edmund. When she placed the key in
the keyhole, she realized it was locked from the inside.
Clara had betrayed me!
Yvette’s gaze turned icy as she commanded a bodyguard, “Kick the door open!”
“Yes!”
The bodyguard stepped back before kicking on the door forcefully.
Thump! The door trembled from the force and was about to fall from its hinge.
Inside the room, Clara was flustered. “What should we do? They…”
“Stop them!” Arielle raised her voice. “If you want Mr. Actonward to survive, listen to me!”
Strangely, Clara could only hear Arielle’s voice as though she was bewitched.
Glancing around, she spotted a wooden table and pulled it to block the door.
Thump! Thump!
The people outside continued kicking on the door forcefully.
Nonetheless, Arielle ignored the commotion and focused on her treatment.
Thump! Finally, the door was kicked open.
Luckily, the table behind the door stopped it from crashing onto the ground. It hung on its hinge
precariously.
Still, everyone could see what was happening inside.
Instantly, Yvette and the crowd could see Russell lying in a pool of blood. It was a shocking sight, as the
pristine bedsheet was stained with his blood.
At that moment, Arielle was holding a knife to Russell’s neck, cutting it open without hesitation.
Blood trickled out immediately in a horrifying manner.
Yvette and the others were stunned into silence.
Meanwhile, Clara was wailing, “Ms. Yvette, please give this young lady some more time. Please…”
Her wails caused Yvette to snap back to reality.
“Clara, are you crazy? How could you allow Arielle to kill my dad? Hurry and get in there!” she ordered.
Everyone else was gasping in horror, too. “Murder!”
Thump!
After a few attempts, the table blocking the door was kicked out of the way.
The door immediately crashed onto the ground, which trembled from the tremendous crash.
Yvette was the first one to rush in.
She dashed toward Arielle and screamed bloody murder. “Arielle, you need to pay for taking my dad’s
life!”
