“What are your plans for the future?” Danika suddenly asked, casually chatting with Morgan.
Morgan thought she was asking about her plans after marriage, so she smiled bitterly and said, What plans? Just act like he doesn’t exist and do whatever I want.”
“I’m asking about your plans in the medical field. Do you plan to continue studying?” Danika asked. Morgan had been interning with her, and she could see how much the girl loved medicine.
Morgan was stunned. Shen then smiled sheepishly and apologetically. She replied, “I did plan to take the postgraduate exam before, but now…” Her family’s sudden bankruptcy was going to disrupt all her plans.
“What now? Regardless of whether you get married or not, you can still do what you want to do,” Danika said with a serious expression. “Morgan, I hope you don’t give up on your passion for your career.”
Morgan was moved by Danika’s genuine advice. She nodded and said, “Okay, I won’t give up. I hope I can become as great as you someday, Danika.”
Danika was her idol. Before she met her, she’d already admired her; after getting to know her, she felt even more admiration for Danika.
“Go for it,” Danika encouraged her, relieved to see her smile.
As they were talking, a figure suddenly sprang out from the woods. A sharp knife was aimed at the two of them, and Miller’s face appeared in Danika’s sight.
“Miller, what do you want?” Danika instinctively shielded Morgan behind her, but she wasn’t too worried. With her skills, Miller wouldn’t be able to touch her at all.
Miller sneered, brandishing the knife at Danika. “You bitch! You ruined me, so I won’t let you off!”
The afternoon news had already been broadcasted, and the Internet was full of insults toward him. Some people even wanted to beat him up outside his house. Since he couldn’t find Joey, he could only vent his anger on Danika.
He wanted to kill this woman!
“I’ll give you a chance. Put down the knife and leave, and we can pretend that nothing happened.”
After all, Miller was Joey’s father, so Danika decided to give him a chance for the sake of Joey’s future. If she sent him to prison, it would no doubt have a significant impact on Joey. Miller scoffed at Danika’s words. He thought she was scared when he heard what she said, so he laughed smugly.
“I’ll give you a chance too. If you kneel and beg me, I’ll let you go,” he said with a smile. He looked so pleased with himself; it was as if he really saw Danika kneeling and begging him.
Danika’s expression changed slightly, and she knew that no matter what she said, it would be useless. She told Morgan, “Stay here and don’t run.”
“Okay,” Morgan replied, but then quickly said, “Danika, let’s make a run for it!”
“Trying to run?” Miller sneered and approached with the knife. “I’d like to see where you can run off to!”
“Be careful, Danika!” Morgan yelled in terror as she saw Miller thrust the knife.
Danika glanced indifferently at the knife in Miller’s hand, not worried at all. As he was about to reach her, she moved. Quickly and accurately, she grabbed his wrist. There was a cry of pain, and the knife fell to the ground.
With a cold expression, Danika threw Miller over her shoulder, and he fell heavily to the ground like a sack of potatoes. Morgan’s shout and Danika’s attack on Miller ended at the same time. Her move was too fast for anyone to react.
After a while, Morgan looked at Danika standing still and Miller screaming in pain on the ground. She was a little dazed and couldn’t decide who she should be warning.
When Morgan came back to her senses, she was immensely amazed. “Danika, how are you so skilled in combat?”
“Well, I learned a little before.” Danika didn’t deny it.
“Wow, that’s amazing!” Morgan praised her sincerely. She’d wanted to learn martial arts when she was young, but her parents refused to let her, saying it was too dangerous for girls. Seeing Danika now, she realized how foolish such stereotypical concepts were. Who said girls couldn’t fight? Girls who could fight were even cooler.
She walked up to Miller, looking smug. “You scum! Someone like you doesn’t deserve to be a father. I’m calling the cops to arrest you.”
As her words fell, she immediately took out her phone to report the assault. Intentionally injuring someone would surely result in a few years behind bars. Danika didn’t intervene. She’d given Miller a chance, and since he didn’t treasure it, there was no need to let him off.
The call was connected, and Morgan explained the situation in detail, failing to notice that Miller had already picked up the knife that had fallen to the ground.
“Die!” The knife glinted in his hand as he shouted and rushed toward Morgan. He felt frustrated that he couldn’t harm Danika, so he turned his attention to Morgan, thinking he could take her down with him. He knew that not everyone was as skilled as Danika was.
“Watch out!” Danika shouted, rushing over to push Morgan away.
“Danika!” Morgan was pushed and fell to the ground, but Danika was standing where she was seconds ago and was stabbed by Miller’s knife. Danika endured the pain and kicked Miller away. She then looked down to examine the fresh wound on her waist.
*Danika, you…you’re hurt…” Morgan looked at the bleeding wound and didn’t know what to say for a moment.
Danika waved a hand at her. “I’m fine. Call someone for help quickly, in case he runs away.” She wouldn’t let Miller go this time.
Upon hearing her words, Morgan hurriedly ran to the roadside to call for help. She quickly dialed the emergency services as well, feeling extremely anxious. Returning to Danika’s side, Morgan observed that she seemed unharmed, but her face had turned pale.
“Danika, let’s get you to the hospital first.”
“Not yet. We have to wait for the police to come.”
If Miller wasn’t taken away, she couldn’t leave with peace of mind. As soon as a person like Miller was given the slightest chance, he could easily slip away. Who knew what trouble he might cause in the future?
Morgan wanted to protest but ultimately gave up on it. Miller was truly despicable, and she understood Danika’s train of thought. She needed to see him being taken away by the police with her own eyes to feel at ease.
Some passersby helped by standing guard, and the police arrived quickly. Watching Miller being shoved into the police car, Danika breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain, and a cold sweat broke out on her forehead,
Fortunately, the ambulance had arrived, and Morgan accompanied Danika onto the vehicle. With that, they headed toward the hospital.
Meanwhile, Eustace, who was with a client, suddenly felt a pang in his heart. His face turned pale following that sensation.
“Mr. Quincey, are you okay?” Vincent asked in a low voice, noticing that his boss’ complexion seemed a little off.
Eustace shook his head and said to Vincent, “You handle things here; I’ll go back first.” He felt worried when Danika was out of sight and had the feeling that something terrible might have happened to her. He needed to see for himself that she was fine.
“Okay, I’ll get the driver ready,” Vincent said, taking out his phone to make the call. He didn’t stop Eustace from leaving. The business matters were already discussed and settled; the only thing left. was socializing with the clients. Vincent was more than able to take care of such a minor task.
After a few brief exchanges with the clients, Eustace got up and left the private room. He didn’t waste any time and instructed the driver to drive him home immediately. He couldn’t wait to see Danika, whom he hoped was safe at home.
Meanwhile, at the hospital, Danika’s wound was cleaned and bandaged, and she was ready to leave
“You’re a doctor yourself, so I don’t need to remind you what precautions to take, right?” the emergency doctor asked while bandaging her.
Danika nodded. “Yes.”
The precautions were nothing new to her-she would always advise her patients not to engage in strenuous activities, and to avoid water and heavily spiced food.
“Okay. Go home and get some rest.”
Danika got up to leave, and Morgan hurriedly came forward to support her, looking worried.
