Linsey, Kirby told us what happened Lara burst in, then froze at the sight before her. You re hurt!
Linsey managed a weak nod. Just a small cut from when I tried to grab the knife away from Cynthia. Really, it s nothing serious.
Nothing serious? Your entire arm is soaked in blood! Lara quickly shut the door and guided her to a chair. Sit down right now. I m getting the first aid kit to patch you up properly.
Linsey sank into the seat gratefully. Thank you.
While carefully bandaging the wound, Lara couldn t resist asking, You clearly don t like them, so why did you jump in to save Joanna?
Linsey let out a soft laugh. I wasn t really thinking in that moment. Something inside me just couldn t stand by and watch someone die. Th? link to the orig?n of this information r?sts ?n f ?dn vel.net
Lara shook her head with a heavy sigh. Honestly, Felix has lost his mind. Trading away someone as genuine as you for that manipulative witch.
That chapter s closed now.
Linsey s voice carried quiet finality, the painful memories already buried where they belonged.
Before Lara could launch into another rant, Linsey smoothly changed direction. Actually, Lara, I m planning to resign.
Lara s hands froze mid-wrap, her eyes going wide. Already?
Linsey nodded matter-of-factly. After the event showcase, CR Corporation s CEO was impressed enough to offer me a position there.
She met Lara s gaze directly. Want to make the jump with me?
Are you kidding me? CR Corporation is every designer s ultimate dream job. Of course I want in! Lara practically bounced with excitement before catching herself. But their standards are supposedly sky-high. I m not sure I d even make the cut
Linsey s smile was reassuring. I know exactly what you re capable of. I wouldn t be asking if I didn t think you could handle it. Don t stress about it. I ve already worked out the details with CR s people, and they re letting me bring someone along.

The news hit Lara like lightning. She threw her arms around Linsey in pure joy. God, you re the most amazing boss in existence! I m sticking with you forever!
Meanwhile, across town, Felix wrapped up his statement at the police station and immediately rushed to the hospital without stopping for so much as a glass of water.
The emergency room doors swung open as a doctor emerged.
Felix shot up from his chair, anxiety written across his face. Doctor, how s my girlfriend doing?
The doctor s face was grave. He didn t sugarcoat the truth. We managed to pull her back from the edge. Still, the blow to her head caused damage to her brain, and she lost a dangerous amount of blood from her abdomen. She slipped into hemorrhagic shock. It s possible she ll never wake up. You need to be ready for that.
Felix stared back at the doctor, unable to process it all. His shock froze him in place. Even when the doctor walked away, Felix just stood there, lost in a haze of confusion. It seemed disaster refused to let up.
