His hesitation gave Master Blackwood’s second uncle a perfect opportunity, and the dagger was on the verge of piercing into Sebastian Blackwood’s waist.
At the critical moment, Ivy Kensington forcefully pushed the man away. The sharp blade sliced through her skin, and Ivy’s right arm immediately started bleeding.
Sebastian Blackwood’s face darkened: "Who told you to act on your own and take the hit for me?"
Ivy clutched her arm. She didn’t know why she did it, perhaps... maybe it was because he had helped her so many times...
The chance was missed, and Master Blackwood’s second uncle no longer had the opportunity to strike. Sebastian’s men had already arrived and efficiently sealed off the scene.
The police arrived as well, and Master Blackwood’s second uncle was taken away on charges of attempted murder.
"Master Blackwood... Master Blackwood, please give me a chance... I know I was wrong..."
Knowing he could no longer escape, Master Blackwood’s second uncle began to regret and sought to plead.
With cold eyes, Sebastian glared at him and kicked him over with his long leg.
"Save those words for the police station."
Those who dare to challenge him are doomed.
At this point, Owen Rhodes hurried over: "Master Blackwood, are you hurt?"
This incident was unexpected. Even though he brought people over as fast as he could, he could not ensure Sebastian Blackwood’s complete safety.
Sebastian’s handsome face was grim; he glanced at Ivy’s injured arm and bent down to pick her up.
The hospital was too far, and the herb room was the closest.
June Keane and Dahlia Kensington came out at this moment, and June anxiously inquired, "Son, is this young lady’s injury serious? Stopping the bleeding is most important; don’t delay."
Dahlia couldn’t utter a single word.
She had run the fastest when the incident occurred and resentfully looked at Ivy, cradled in Sebastian Blackwood’s arms. That ugly maid must have done it on purpose!
"Sebastian, why don’t you wait here for a doctor..."
Before Dahlia could finish her sentence, Sebastian had already stormed off like a whirlwind.
Ivy’s arm bled non-stop, her face beginning to pale.
"Ivy, next time something happens, stay as far away as possible. Don’t try to be brave."
Sebastian coldly placed her on the sofa, his voice chillingly cold.
Ivy let out a bitter smile. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ N0v3l.Fiɾe.net
She hadn’t thought much about it, but hearing his disdainful words still hurt a little deep down.
, she certainly made him think she was a burden again.
Ivy whispered her apology and then glanced around the room, her gaze suddenly shocked.
It was filled with various herbs, practically a warehouse of medicine!
Ivy’s heart started pounding -- could the Heavenly Heart Lotus be here...
Sebastian crouched in front of her again, holding a medicinal herb in his hand. Ivy recognized it; it was for stopping bleeding. She didn’t expect that he knew a bit about these.
Sebastian crushed the herb and applied it to Ivy’s wound. Instantly, the bleeding stopped.
Sebastian’s tightly knitted eyebrows finally relaxed a bit. He was about to speak when he noticed Ivy had leaned against the sofa and fallen asleep.
His gaze fell on her soft, fair face, and Sebastian’s throat bobbed.
That recent call of "Sebastian" felt so familiar; could it be that the person who accompanied him every night was truly her? But she lacked the eagle mark on her collarbone...
Pressing his lips tightly together, Sebastian did not look further and instead got up and walked outside.
The sound of the door closing echoed.
Ivy opened her eyes. She had been pretending to sleep. Knowing her arm had stopped bleeding, she was unsure if she could stay here longer; pretending to sleep would buy some time.
Then Ivy began circling the herb room. She was very sensitive to the scent of herbs and could identify types without approaching -- there was no trace of the Heavenly Heart Lotus here...
Sebastian walked out of the herb room, intending to fetch a thin blanket for Ivy.
The next second, Julian Hawthorne called him: "Brother Blackwood, hurry and send the Heavenly Heart Lotus to Country Y; Nina needs it!"
