Chapter 3 Powerless
In the silence of the night, a Rolls-Royce sped off of the Summer Estate. George hurriedly took Eric to the hospital. It wasn’t until she saw the doctors wheeling Eric into the operating room that Kate’s body trembled, calmed down, and collapsed on the bench in the corridor. Tears streamed down her face, her eyes filled with deep regret, and she overcame a sense of powerlessness. All she could do was pray for Eric. Kate felt utterly helpless. She didn’t even know how much impact her stab would have on Eric. If his left arm still inevitably suffers lingering damage, what should she do? Kate dared not dwell on it. In her past life, what kind of reckless things had she done? Time and time again, she hurt Eric, taking advantage of his deep love for her and using all means to force him to divorce her. Despite being hurt repeatedly, Eric never blamed her. He endured all her drama, even though it left him battered and bruised, causing him to build walls around his heart and lose trust in her. Despite this, he still protected her in his own way. Those memories were painful to recall. When George had completed the formal procedure for Eric and hurried back, he saw Kate crying uncontrollably on the bench. Her face was streaked with tears. His eyes flashed with disgust and hatred. The butler’s fists clenched tightly as he tried to suppress the anger in his heart. He couldn’t understand why Kate had to hurt Eric repeatedly. He had seen the wound and heard the doctor say that it was close to the heart. If the stab deviated a little more, it would pierce Eric’s heart. Eric poured his heart and gave everything he had into doting on Kate, treating her like a treasure, but this spoiled girl insisted on trampling over Eric’s boundaries time and time again. He truly felt sorry for Eric. However, as the subordinate, he could only obey Eric’s orders and left Kate to be. George couldn’t even touch those people around Kate. “Kate!” A familiar female voice suddenly rang out. Kate subconsciously looked up. She saw a woman in a white tracksuit hurriedly run towards her. There was a hint of worry on her face. A strong sense of hatred suddenly surged in Kate’s eyes. When she saw Ruth’s face, she couldn’t help but want to rush over and tear her face apart. This hypocritical woman had lurked by her side, constantly inciting her to act against Eric, driving a wedge between Eric and her. Meanwhile, she had already hooked up with Simon, and the two led her step by step to destruction. Until the day when her whole family was killed. Now that she saw Ruth again, Kate truly wished she could flay her skin, pull out her bones, feast on her flesh, and drink her blood! When George saw Ruth, his expression instantly turned colder. His icy gaze fixed on Ruth before he walked away. Ruth met Kate’s eyes. The hatred in her Kate startled her. She felt a chill in her heart inexplicably. However, when she hesitantly took another look, she realised that it was just her imagination. Kate was still sitting on the bench, tears filling her face. Her delicate face looked vulnerable. Ruth thought she must have been mistaken just now. Kate was foolish and useless—just a stupid, pampered rich girl. A mere exchange of words was sufficient to provoke her, and this moron proceeded to stab Eric. Although she was mocking Kate in her heart, Ruth still asked worriedly, “Kate, are you okay? How did you really get into a conflict with Mr. Davison?” Smack! In response, Kate slapped Ruth without any control.
