Chapter 252
It was Willow’s last chance to kill Skyler.
Willow bit her lip and forced herself to escape Zayn’s grasp.
He grew enraged when he saw her refusal to repent. Abruptly, he increased the force of his grip, nearly breaking her wrist.
She was in excruciating pain. Her wrist soon went limp, and she could no longer apply any force. Her knife then dropped heavily to the ground, sounding like it hit a death knell.
Willow lowered her gaze and stared at her hands blankly. She suddenly felt the urge to cry.

Her left wrist was bandaged. It was the scar left by her suicide. She couldn’t use her left hand.
Now, she felt like her right wrist was almost broken, as she couldn’t exert any strength.
She couldn’t even pick up the knife that had fallen. Without a weapon, how could she avenge those she cared about?
Despite her powerlessness, she wanted Skyler to pay the price.
Wiping away a trace of blood seeping from her mouth, Willow rushed toward Skyler stubbornly and desperately.
Her attempt to hurt Skyler failed this time as well.
Zayn shoved her away violently, causing her to fall heavily on the ground and be unable to get up.
At the sight of Willow falling, he subconsciously wanted to step forward and help her up.
But before he could even take a step forward, Skyler’s breathless voice sounded, “Zayn, it hurts… It’s hurting so much… Am I going to die? It hurts…”
Zayn came to a halt. He swiftly turned around to hug Skyler tightly.
A large amount of blood flowed down her shoulder and over her clothes. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Skyler wore a white down jacket, so her blood was visible, which looked frightening.
“Skyler, I won’t let anything happen to you!”
Zayn embraced her tightly.
“I’ll take you to the hospital!”
“Zayn…”
She reached out and gently stroked his brows.
“I feel awful. I feel like I’m about to die. I’m not terrified of death. I’m just worried that I won’t see you
again.

“I like you so much that I’ll happily sacrifice for you. I’ll never forget the wonderful times we shared
through thick and thin four years ago. If there is a next life, I’ll still love you unconditionally…
“Zayn, I don’t want to hurt Lolo. I believe she’s sick. Can you send Lolo to a mental hospital? I’m not worried she’ll hurt me. I’m just afraid that she’ll hurt you
you…
“Please, Zayn. You must send Lolo to a mental hospital for treatment!”
Zayn’s mind shifted when Skyler reminded him of their difficulties four years ago.
After returning to Marley, he didn’t immediately take over Carter Group. Instead, he started his own
business as an ordinary man.
Four years ago, Skyler hadn’t yet been recognized by the Dawsons when Zayn was seriously injured in a car accident caused by Willow. If Zayn hadn’t received surgery in time, he would have been permanently disabled even if he had survived.
Skyler thought he was poor back then. She was unaware then that she could seek help from the Carters, so she sold a kidney to pay for his surgery.
Zayn felt he couldn’t let her down. But now, Willow had harmed Skyler, and the latter had requested him to send Willow to a mental hospital.
