Hayden glared at Lucy with hatred. At that moment, all he wanted was to wrap his hands around her throat and squeeze the life out of her.
"You bitch! You ruined me! I'll kill you right now!" he shouted.
His grip tightened.
Lucy gasped, her vision blurring. Death was seconds away.
But she couldn't die. She refused to lose.
Her fingers scrambled desperately, finally wrapping around the weight of an ashtray.
Without hesitation, she swung it with all her strength, slamming it into Hayden's skull.
Blood splattered.
A few crimson streaks ran down his face as his grip slackened. A second later, he crumpled to the floor.
Hayden was down.
Lucy clutched her bruised throat, gulping in air. The brush with death left her trembling.
She stared at Hayden, his body crumpled in a pool of blood. "Honey? Honey?"
But Hayden didn't respond. He was already unconscious.
"Honey, I truly loved you," she murmured. "But you betrayed me. Now, Carly is my everything, and I won't let anyone stand in her way… not even you. So, this… this is on you."
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps echoed from outside.
Adam and Celine were back.
Lucy's heart raced in her chest.
What now?
Outside, Adam and Celine were already heading upstairs.
Celine had just finished the chicken noodle soup Adam insisted she eat and was now hurrying back to continue working on the antidote.
"Mr. Alvarez, you can go back now. You don't need to stay here with me," she said.
"Honey! Honey, wake up! What happened to you?"
Adam stepped forward. "What happened to Mr. Tate?"
Lucy sobbed uncontrollably. "I don't know! When I came in, he was already lying here. I think he must have hit his head on the table!"
Celine immediately moved closer. "Let me check his pulse."
But just as she was about to reach out, Lucy grabbed her arm.
"It's fine! The doctor is here!"
As if on cue, a man in a white coat rushed into the room.
"Hurry! Get Mr. Tate out of here! We need to resuscitate him!"
The maids swiftly carried Hayden away, with Lucy following close behind.
Just before leaving, she glanced at Celine and said, "Celine, finish the antidote and save Carly. I'll take care of Hayden!"
