Chapter 4

Hearing this, the man immediately backed off.

But Kevin pushed her forward, looking disdainful.

"So what if there's a tracker? Your husband will definitely not come looking for you!"

"Why not? My husband loves me most!"

Lily saw that Kevin didn't seem to be bluffing, and her voice weakened a bit, but she stubbornly refused to believe it.

Kevin kicked Lily to the ground, laughing until his face wrinkled.

"Because your husband is the one who told us to do this!"

Lily was stunned on the spot. She sat on the ground in disbelief, her face as white as paper.

Kevin grew impatient and called everyone to join in.

"Hurry up, I've got a quota to meet. The boss said we must service 100 customers a day!"

The surveillance feed transmitted wave after wave of obscene laughter. The hellish days from my previous life surfaced in my mind again, and I had to take several deep breaths before switching screens.

Downstairs at the company, Derek called Lily several times, all unanswered.

He frowned, then smiled knowingly, his tone playful.

"Just because I didn't deal with you for one day, you've got quite the temper.

I'll make you cry and beg for mercy later!"

Seeing this, I turned off the screen and immediately went downstairs.

Derek, I've prepared a surprise for you too.

Derek rushed into the villa eagerly and opened the bedroom, but didn't see any trace of Lily.

A flash of doubt crossed his mind. Turning around, he found the maid Kate trembling at the kitchen door.

Derek's face showed impatience. "Where's Lily? Where did she go this late at night!"

Kate's tears flowed freely. "She went to find you, wanting to give you a surprise, but she was hit by a car and is being treated in the hospital now!"

Derek's legs went soft and he nearly couldn't stand. After learning which hospital, he slammed the door and rushed out.

"Nice acting."

I smiled slightly, emerging from behind Kate and withdrawing the knife I had pressed against her waist.

On the other side, Derek arrived at my private hospital.

As soon as the attending physician saw him, he informed him that Lily was hemorrhaging severely and the situation was critical—she was being resuscitated.

The doctor frowned. "It's just that the blood bank doesn't have enough blood. I'm afraid the outlook is grim."

Derek immediately extended his wrist. "Take my blood. As long as it saves her, take as much as you need."

Those are your own words.

I stood in the distance wearing a mask and nodded to the attending physician.

Derek had a thousand milliliters of blood drawn, his face so pale he was on the verge of passing out.

But it wasn't enough. Compared to the harm he brought me, this was still far from enough.

For three days straight, Derek had blood drawn at the hospital, but Lily still hadn't come out of the ICU.

On the third day, Derek, dragging his wobbling body, received an anxious call from the driver.

"Boss, this woman can't take much more. She keeps shouting that she wants to see you, and she hasn't eaten or drunk anything for three days!

If this continues, I'm afraid I won't be able to complete your task!"

A flash of ruthlessness crossed Derek's eyes.

It's all Rachel Winters' fault!

If she hadn't used money to tempt him, he and Lily would be a legitimate couple!

If she would just die already, Lily wouldn't have gotten into a car accident trying to see him!

Thinking this, a cold smile appeared on Derek's face.

"Got it. I'll come see her right now."
