Chapter 194 Shattered Glass, Shattered Truths

Blood trickled down from Luke's foreheat He stared at me in disbelief, his bloodshot eyes brimming with a mixture of shock and pain as I clutched the vase in my hands. You actually...

Before he could finish, his body collapsed with a heavy hud.

This was the first time I'd ever done something like this and panic overwhelmed me. I rushed over to Carter, frantic. "Are you okay?"

Carter glanced at Luke lying on the floor, then back at me. "I'm fine

He called out to Damian, his tone calm and composed, "Take him to the hospital"

"Yes, Sir.

Damian, with his tall and sturdy frame, effortlessly carried Luke away.

Seeing the blood pooling from Luke's wound made me freeze in panic. Sensing this, Carter pulled tue into his arms. "Don't worry. He's not dead. Just injured."

After witnessing the deaths of myself and Esmee, my fear of such incidents had grown unbearable.

I had wished for Luke to get what he deserved, but smashing his head with a vase wasn't the kind of retribution I had in mind.

Once I calmed down. Carter finally asked, "Why did you hit him with the vase just now?"

"I didn't think it through, I admitted, my heart still racing. "He's a grown man trying to harm someone who can't even defend himself. Anyone would stop such a vile act."

Is it because I didn't kill Luke?

Still shaken. I returned to my room while Carter checked on Luke's condition.

Not long after, Adam stormed in, livid. "Carter, the Boltons isn't just yours to rule! My son's already Suffering from a serious illness and undergoing treatment. Yet, you all dared to hurt him like this!"
