Ethan slowly opened his eyes, immediately overwhelmed by the sharp scent of disinfectant. He was a bit dazed. "I'm still alive?"
Beside him, Ronnie, who had been tense with worry, finally relaxed and smiled. "Master Thomas, the dagger missed all your vitals. You only passed out from significant blood loss, but thankfully, we got you help in time."
Ethan chuckled, amused by the irony. At that moment, all he had cared about was to protect Bella. Even if Liam stabbed him to the death, he would have had no regrets. As long as he could buy enough time for Ronnie to arrive and rescue Bella, it was worth it. The fact that the dagger had missed his vitals was sheer luck.
Ethan glanced around the room and suddenly became serious. "Which hospital are we at?"
The last thing he wanted was for Ruby
