The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 1788

Tracy was stunned stiff. It was only after Bertha told her to call an ambulance that she snapped out of her daze. She thought maybe Arnold was back downstairs, and this woman she was losing so much blood. If Arnold found out that she’d stabbed someone, he’d certainly abandon her.

In desperation, Tracy decided to go all in. She began threatening Bertha and her daughter with the knife. “Back off! Nobody’s leaving this house today!”

“Have you lost your mind?!” Bertha exclaimed frantically. “Do you know what could happen if she loses too much blood?!”

Tracy’s face was a wash of panic. She knew the consequences of excessive blood loss, but the woman seemed fine for now, didn’t she? Once Sheila managed to get Arnold out of the house, she planned to take the woman to her father’s clinic to stop the bleeding. She wasn’t stupid; she didn’t want a needless murder on her conscience.

As Tracy hoped for Sheila to return after getting rid of Arnold, a sudden shriek came from downstairs.
