Chapter 83

“Daran–!!!!

Janet cried desperately.

Her voice trembled as she rushed towards Daran,

She wished that everything was just a bad dream, that Veronica hadn’t tried to attack her, and Daran didn’t shove her aside and take the hit for her.

Yet it was true.

The dagger was still deep in Daran’s flesh.

And the blood was pouring out from his wound, painting his white shirt into red.

Daran held the dagger and swayed on his spot. He had to put all of his weight on Janet’s shoulder to stop falling.

His face was quickly turning grey.

Everyone in the room was shocked by this sudden turn of events.

Maxie acted first. She pulled over a chair and helped Daran sit down.

Then she examined his wound.

“His blood is changing color!” she said in an urgent voice, “This dagger is poisoned!”

Janet looked closely at the wound.

Maxie was right.

The blood oozing out was turning into a deeper shade of red, which almost seemed black. And the flesh around his wound was rotting at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Janet’s hands trembled violently.

She considered herself a calm person, capable of handling any urgent crisis.

Yet at this moment, her mind was a complete blank.

She didn’t know what to do.

Without thinking too much about it, Janet held the dagger and tried to pull it out.

But Daran stopped her by holding her hand.

“Hey, don’t do that.”

His voice was feeble but still steady.

“If you pull the dagger now, I might bleed to death,” he said softly.

“Then what are we supposed to do? Let it stay there?!”

Janet’s voice was so high and shrill that it didn’t sound like her normal voice.

Daran tightened his grip on Janet’s wrist.
