A Wound that Never Heals

Chapter 18

Chapter 18 Attempted Murder

Nigel was only 12 years old, and he was frightened by such a scene. His originally sickly complexion became even paler.

He retreated repeatedly and said, “It wasn’t me. I really didn’t stab her.”

Avery’s eyes were bloodshot. He grabbed Nigel by the collar and threw Nigel to the ground.

Nigel’s head was slammed onto the wall behind him, and his body fell heavily to the ground.

When Avery was about to help Vivian, who was covered in blood, a doctor stopped him. “Sir, we still don’t know how serious her injuries are. Let’s give it to the professional doctors.”

Avery stood up with a darkened face and took two steps back. He watched as the doctors and nurses carried Vivian to the hospital trolley.

When Vivian was pushed out of the ward, her face was full of fear. She stared at Avery and said weakly, “Avery, help me.”

Avery instructed Cyrus to keep a close eye on Nigel and stop Nigel from escaping. Then, Avery helped push the trolley and sent Vivian to the door of

the emergency room.

Avery had a long face as he stared at Vivian, who was about to be pushed into the emergency room. “Don’t worry, I will seek justice for you.”

Vivian stretched out her hand weakly and grabbed Avery’s palm. Then, her

hand fell lightly, and she was pushed into the emergency room.

Avery turned around and strode back to Vivian’s ward.

In the ward, Nigel was blocked by Cyrus and could not go anywhere. So Nigel could only shrink in the corner and tremble in fear.

Avery took a few steps toward Nigel and caused the latter to retreat and say in panic, “Avery, I really didn’t hurt that woman.”

“A nurse told me that my sister wanted to see me. I remembered that my sister’s ward was on this floor and came over. But the moment I came in, I saw that woman stabbing herself in front of me.

Avery suddenly lifted Nigel from the ground. His bloodshot eyes looked even scarier while Avery gripped Nigel’s neck. “Don’t call my name. You are not worthy, just like your vicious sister.”

Nigel was young, but he knew that stabbing someone with a knife was not a small matter. He anxiously said, “I want to see my sister. My sister will prove my innocence. Let go!”
