Chapter 388 A Stab in the Back
The Lee family was in shock, staring at the scene unfolding before them.
Alfonso and the other doctors were baffled.
Gerald was stunned.
Daryl was sweating bullets.
Trevor had been getting better, so why had things suddenly taken such a drastic turn?
No one saw this coming.
It all happened so fast.
The middle-aged, chubby nurse's eyes widened as she stared blankly at Trevor, who was coughing up blood, completely at a loss.
"Dad!"
"Mr. Lee!"
"What's happening to him?"
"Quick, quick, doctors, check on my dad!"
"It's no use, all his vitals are crashing. Mr. Lee isn't going to make it."
The nearly hundred people present were in a frenzy. Several doctors quickly began emergency procedures, administering two doses of a life-saving injection worth millions of dollars.
Daryl also started inserting acupuncture needles into several points.
But nothing worked.
The alarms grew more piercing, Trevor's heartbeat was dropping, almost becoming a flat line, indicating he was on the brink of death.
"Young man, I was reckless earlier. I'm sorry, truly sorry. I apologize."
"You noticed there was an issue with my ninth needle. So can you fix Mr. Lee's condition?"
Suddenly, Daryl thought of something and grabbed James, shouting, "Please, save Mr. Lee."
It was humiliating and indirectly admitted there was a problem with the ninth needle, but at this moment, Daryl only wanted Trevor to survive.
Otherwise, his reputation would be completely ruined.
Hearing this, many of the Lee family women were stunned, not expecting Daryl to bow to James.
Alfonso and Isaac also looked at James, their eyes filled with curiosity, doubt, but mostly hope.
They hoped James could bring Trevor back from the brink of death.
To their surprise, James took a bite of an apple from the table and shook his head at Daryl and the others. "Sorry, he's a goner. I can't save him."
Hearing this, Daryl and the others were filled with despair.
A somber atmosphere quickly spread.
Gerald was stunned. He had thought James would step up at the critical moment and save Trevor, proving everyone wrong.
But James said he couldn't save him.
This was unexpected; James wasn't playing by the usual rules.
Almost simultaneously, the heart monitor flatlined, a straight line that shocked everyone.
He was dead, no heartbeat. Trevor was truly beyond saving.
Isaac cried out, "Dad—!"
The Lee family members knelt down. "Grandpa—!"
Daryl and the others were also grief-stricken. "Mr. Lee, rest in peace!"
Gerald bowed to Trevor.
"Who said he's dead? Who said he's dead?"
Amidst the mourning, the dazed chubby nurse snapped out of it, shouting angrily as she lunged at Trevor, "You can't die, you can't die, it's not the eighteenth yet."
"If you die, how will I explain it? How will I explain it?"
"I won't let you die, I won't let you die."
She pried open Trevor's mouth and took out a small bottle, about to pour it in.
At that moment, James stepped forward silently, and a Piercing Blade stabbed into her back.
Blood spurted out.
The chubby nurse screamed and fell, glaring at James with anger. "You stabbed me?"
Seeing James injure someone, and the nurse bleeding continuously, the crowd was in an uproar, scrambling to retreat.
Several women let out piercing screams.
Although they didn't know why James had stabbed a nurse, the Lee family bodyguards quickly reacted.
One group protected the Lee family members and Daryl, while another drew their weapons and surrounded James.
Isaac's face darkened. "What the hell are you doing, kid?"
The Lee family bodyguards were ready to attack, their eyes fixed on James.
"Why are you surrounding me? You should be taking her down."
James looked at the chubby nurse and smiled faintly, "Isn't that right, White Shadow?"
Hearing "White Shadow," the Lee family members' faces changed. The Lee family, always on high alert, knew White Shadow was one of Molly's top enforcers.
"White Shadow!" Isaac's eyelid twitched. "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Alfonso also shouted, "She's just a nurse trying to save Mr. Lee; how could she be an enemy of the Lee family?"
In the earlier commotion, many hadn't heard the nurse's shouts.
"White Shadow wants to save Mr. Lee, but only to ensure he doesn't die before the eighteenth, or the ritual loses its meaning."
James looked at the nurse. "If you don't believe she's White Shadow, search her. You'll find Gu Sorcery items."
Isaac and the others looked at the nurse, noticing her pockets were indeed numerous, and there was a Yin aura about her.
The nurse didn't argue, just glared at James with hatred, resentment, and a chilling coldness.
"Staring at me? Hating me? It's pointless because you're already a prisoner." James smiled faintly, "That stab was enough to take half your life. I didn't kill you because I want to know Molly's whereabouts."
The nurse gritted her teeth. "Cowardly backstabber!"
"Victory and defeat, such words are meaningless. Besides, backstabbing is your and Molly's style. I'm just following your example."
James taunted the nurse, "Oh, and by the way, Dark Shadow is also captured by me, and I cut off his limbs."
"She's really becoming... well, a shadow." He laughed deliberately.
"Die!"
As Isaac frowned, the nurse roared, suddenly sprang up, and raised her hands.
Two Lee family bodyguards nearby clutched their throats and fell.
There were scorpions on their necks.
The scorpions were fierce, biting through the throats and burrowing in.
Blood gushed from the wounds.
The nurse then waved her left hand, and a Lee family bodyguard with a gun screamed.
A small snake slithered into his mouth, a terrifying scene.
The Lee family women screamed again, stumbling back a few steps.
Isaac and the others also retreated.
Everyone was shocked, watching the nurse, not expecting she was indeed Molly's person, and even more surprised James recognized her instantly.
The Lee family members were confused, not knowing how White Shadow appeared here or how she became a nurse, but they knew one thing—the enemy was here.
At this moment, everyone focused on White Shadow, ignoring the dead Trevor, though Gerald covered him with a white sheet.
White Shadow ignored the pain in her back, took a pill, and the bleeding slowed.
Her arms pressed down, her clothes bulging like a white toad.
"Bastard, die!"
She then sprang forward, closing the distance in an instant.
The next second, she kicked at James' head.
