Chapter 222

with the downfall of the Wiley family, Jack refused to accept defeat and wanted to drag me down with him.

What a joke! That was never going to happen.

1 gritted my teeth and rushed into a nearby building. There were still people present, seemingly engaged in a meeting. When I entered, they were momentarily shocked, but when Jack burst in with a knife, everyone was left in a state of panic Screams and chaos erupted in an instant.

However, his focus was sharp-he was solely fixated on chasing me. After running for so long, I felt fatigue beginning to set in, especially when I finally stopped for a moment.

Ethan replied. "I was injured by a fruit knife."

The doctor nodded. "That's nothing serious. Just needs some medication and a bandage. Keep it dry until it heals"

"Is it really that simple? I looked skeptically at both him and the doctor.

The doctor chuckled, unfazed by my doubt. "The wound isn't deep; it only broke the surface, and it just oozed a bit of blood. It's not scary at all. Nothing to worry about.** Heading that, I looked
