Chapter 181

Christina couldn't care less about her injuries at the moment.

"Y'all better get outta here right now, or I'm calling the cops," she warned.

As she moved towards the table to grab her phone, the group rushed at her, grabbing her before she could make the call.

The person who had hit her earlier snatched the phone from her hand and smashed it to the ground with force.

The phone shattered into pieces, and Christina gasped in shock. She hurried over to check it, only to find it completely unusable.

Seeing this, Christina felt a surge of anger.

"Isn't this going too far?" a girl with a slightly timid voice spoke up.

The others fell silent, except for the one who had smashed the phone, who let out a cold snort.

"Don't be fooled by her. If she could hurt Jennifer, she's definitely not innocent. We need to teach her a lesson, or she'll keep causing trouble."

Christina couldn't hold back her temper any longer. She turned and pointed towards the door, shouting, "This isn't a place for you to mess around. Get out now, or else!"

With that, she grabbed a fruit knife from the table and pointed it at the group.

Seeing this, some of the more timid ones felt a pang of fear and quickly left.

The one who had smashed the phone signaled to a burly guy, who then rushed over and knocked the knife out of Christina's hand.

The burly guy shoved Christina hard, causing her to fall to the ground.

"You think you can fight us? Today, we're going to make sure you remember this."

As he said this, the burly guy moved forward and pinned Christina down. She struggled, but his strength was overwhelming.

The person who had smashed her phone picked up the fruit knife and slowly approached Christina. Her eyes widened in terror, unable to believe what was happening.

"Don't you dare!"

Just as the knife was about to touch Christina's face, a hand grabbed the attacker's wrist tightly.

"What the hell are you doing? Who let you in here?" a voice demanded.

Christina opened her eyes to see William standing there.

A wave of mixed emotions washed over her.

William kicked the burly guy away and helped Christina up, his eyes dark and menacing as he glared at the attacker.

"If you don't want to die, leave now. Otherwise, I can't guarantee where this knife will end up."

Seeing the look in William's eyes, the attacker trembled.

At that moment, the attacker suddenly smirked.

Christina turned just in time to see the burly guy grabbing a vase and swinging it at her. William stepped in to shield her, taking the blow himself.

Blood trickled down William's forehead.

Christina's eyes widened in shock.

Seeing the blood, the two attackers panicked and fled.

Christina, unable to control herself, instinctively moved closer to William.

"You..."

Before William could finish his sentence, he coughed up a mouthful of blood.

The ground was stained red, and Christina's hands and clothes were covered in blood.

"Don't talk! The ambulance is on its way!" Christina pressed her hands against William's chest, trying to suppress her emotions.

In their past life, William had treated her like dirt.

But in this life, he had protected her, even taking a fatal blow for her.

Christina felt conflicted, unsure how to respond to William.

Forget it.

If William survived, he wouldn't owe her anything anymore.

"No."

Even as his vision blurred, William held onto Christina's hand tightly.

"I don't ask for your forgiveness. Just promise me you'll live well and have the baby."

"Shut up!"

Jennifer's eyes were bloodshot as she shoved Christina aside, laughing maniacally.

"Christina, I want you to suffer forever. If I can't have him, neither can you!"

Her expression was crazed, and she waved a knife around, scaring Christina into staying back.

"Jennifer, don't do anything rash!"

Christina's eyes were fixed on William, trying to reason with Jennifer.

"William is hurt. Let's get him to the hospital first. We can talk later..."

"Talk about what?"

Jennifer sneered, pressing the knife against William's neck, her body trembling with excitement.

"William, I love you so much. Why can't you see that? Why do you love this woman who treats you like dirt?"

"Today, you're coming with me. We'll be together forever, okay?"

Her expression was deranged as she dragged William into a car, which sped off, leaving Christina in a cloud of exhaust.

"William! William!"

Christina stumbled and fell, chasing after the car until she collapsed from exhaustion, watching helplessly as it disappeared.

Her arms and legs were scraped, but she didn't notice, her eyes fixed on where the car had vanished.

After a while, she seemed to snap out of it, feeling an emptiness inside, like something was missing.

She had been ready to let go, but why did he risk everything to save her?

Christina stood up, but the effort made her dizzy, and she collapsed again.

"Christina!"

Walter's voice called out from behind her.

He had tracked her location and rushed over, seeing her collapse.

"Christina, are you okay?"

Walter's heart raced as he hurried to her side, catching her in his arms.

"Christina, hold on. I'll get you out of here!"
