Marrying the Man in the Dark

Chapter 1204 Lucy's Surgery

The assailant chuckled darkly, his voice laced with a sinister edge. "Don't recall how I look now?"

"Might be wise to check in with that empty skull of yours that you complimented me on my endurance and stamina in bed," he taunted, his words dripping with contempt.

Violet clenched her fist tightly, a flicker of resentment flashing in her eyes as she struggled to contain her emotions. She gestured firmly to the two security guards flanking the assailant.

"Stand down and behave yourself!" the guards commanded with steely resolve.

In a swift display of authority, each security guard delivered a sharp slap to the assailant's face. The blows landed with resounding force, leaving his mouth swollen and rendering him momentarily speechless.

After the altercation, the security guards acted swiftly to escort the assailant away, restoring a semblance of order to the chaotic scene. Meanwhile, the sound of sirens heralded the arrival of an ambulance outside.

Violet watched anxiously as the medical team carefully loaded Lennon onto a stretcher, preparing to transport him to the hospital. Despite her overwhelming relief that Lennon had intervened to shield her from harm, a pang of guilt gnawed at her.

When the knife had been poised to strike, it was Lennon who had acted without hesitation, risking his own safety to protect her. His bravery and selflessness were undeniable, yet doubts lingered in Violet's mind.

After the ambulance left with Lennon inside, Violet immediately dialed her father, the Belcourt family patriarch, on her phone. Her voice, though strained with emotion, carried a note of urgency.
