Chapter 233
“Today, neither you nor this guy is getting away!”
The pursuers quickly closed in on Emily and Daniel. The leader spoke coldly, his eyes filled with malice.
Emily could feel Daniel’s body getting colder by the second. She looked at the men blocking their path, her gaze deadly.
No more time to waste.
If anything happened to Daniel today, these people would pay with their lives.
Emily decided to use her deadliest moves.
Time slipped by as they fought.
Emily fought with such intensity that she began to lose herself.
Just then, Knox arrived.
Seeing Emily in such a state, his heart ached, and his own killing intent surged.
“Emily, it’s me!”
As Knox approached, Emily instinctively reacted, her fingers aimed for his eyes. But he was quick enough to grab her wrist,
shouting in a deep voice.
Hearing the familiar name, Emily was momentarily confused.
“Emily, you’re safe now. I’ve got this.”
Knox’s voice was gentle yet strong.
Emily’s rationality returned. She recognized Knox and breathed a sigh of relief.
“Knox, I need your help. Daniel’s in trouble. I have to get him out of here immediately!”
Emily quickly and concisely explained the situation to Knox.
There would be time for more words later.
Knox finally noticed Daniel lying nearby. He hadn’t expected that,even rushing over, he was still a step behind Daniel. Or
maybe Daniel had come with Emily from the start.

Despite his jealousy, since it was Emily’s request, he would comply.
“Leave it to me. Don’t worry!”
Knox assured her.
Emily nodded and quickly helped Daniel leave.
Knox reminded her, “Our car is just outside. Tell my men to drive you wherever you need.”
Knox struck down another attacker and tossed a jade token to Emily.
Thanks to the token, Emily was able to get Daniel back to her place quickly.
She had a set of spare acupuncture needles there.
Emily’s expression was serious as she removed Daniel’s shirt. This time, she used techniques she rarely employed.
Daniel’s condition was dire.
Emily used seven needles, sweat dripping from her forehead, the air around her growing cold.
Her eyes were sharp, her movements unwavering.
Finally, ten minutes later!
Just before she collapsed from exhaustion, Daniel’s face regained some color, and his fingers twitched.
Though Daniel couldn’t open his eyes, he was aware of everything happening around him.
It felt like his soul was trapped in a heavy body. Despite his awareness, he couldn’t muster the energy to open his eyes.
After his fingers twitched, he soon fell back into a deep sleep.
When he woke again, he tried to move.
He realized something heavy was beside him.
Daniel looked down and saw Emily’s pale face next to the bed.
Her eyelashes fluttered, and she looked delicate and weak.
Daniel’s gaze fell on the bleeding wounds on her arm.

He forced himself up, intending to move her to the bed and call his men to arrange for her to go to the hospital.
But as soon as he moved, Emily woke up with a start.
Seeing Daniel awake, her face lit up with joy.
But when she saw him trying to get out of bed, her expression turned stern.
She stood up, supporting herself, and couldn’t help but scold Daniel, “Do you have no regard for your own body? I went through so much to pull you back from the brink of death, and you want to die again?”
It was the first time Emily had scolded Daniel in that tone.
But Daniel wasn’t mad at all.
She didn’t realize how lively she looked when she was scolding him.
And she was scolding him because she cared.
Just thinking about it made Daniel’s heart race.
“I’m sorry. Please don’t be mad.”
Daniel apologized gently.
Emily was speechless.
In his current weakened state, Daniel looked like a beautiful, sickly person.
The way he looked at her so tenderly was almost like he was using his charm.
Emily couldn’t bring herself to scold him further.
Daniel took her hand. Emily realized it was inappropriate and tried to pull away.
But he spoke, “Your wounds need to be treated immediately.”
Daniel’s voice was enchanting, making Emily’s heart tremble.
He was worried about her injuries.
Emily avoided his gaze and said in a dry voice, “I’m fine. They’re just small wounds and have already scabbed over. You need to rest. I have to arrange Hayden’s situation and then get you back to the States. The acupuncture alone won’t keep
the poison at bay for long. You need medication.”
Chapter 233
Fortunately, she had been working on a remedy in her basement whenever she had time. It was almost ready
“Are you sure you’re okay? You don’t look well. I should have you checked at a hospital,”
Daniel was still worried, seeing her pale face.
To him, no one was more important than Emily.
As for Hayden, he didn’t even compare to a stray dog in Daniel’s eyes.
“I’m a doctor. I know my own body best. I said I’m fine, so I’m fine! You, to avoid another episode and making me save you
again, behave yourself!”
Emily’s tone was firm.
It made the weak Daniel on the bed look like a little puppy.
