Dominique protected Marceline from getting stabbed by sacrificing his body. Since he hugged Marceline, the tip of Natasha's surgical knife was buried at his back.
Dominique started to bleed but he was not in pain. For a werewolf like him, this kind of wound was tolerable. It won't affect him that much as the knife was not made of silver. It would heal easily because of his regenerative ability.
Marceline imdiately took action when she noticed that Dominique was hurt. Using her hand, Marceline hit Natasha's neck, knocking her out.
Natasha fell to the ground as she lost consciousness. Then she helped Dominique to stay still as she called for help.
"Mr. Dominique, are you okay? You're bleeding!" Marceline pressed her palm against his wound to stop the bleeding.
Deep inside, she felt touched. She didn't expect a stranger to protect her. He sacrificed his body for her not to be hard. Her heart suddenly softened towards Dominique.
anwhile, Dominique was enjoying the care and concern he was receiving from Marceline. He couldn't explain why he felt happy.
His body reflexively moved when he saw Natasha charging towards Marceline. His protective instinct was suddenly activated. He felt glad that Marceline was not hurt at all.
When he glanced at unconscious Natasha, a chilly glint flickered in his eyes. He felt the urge to hurt that woman and strangle her for trying to kill Marceline.
Hiding his identity, Dominique pretended to be in pain and weak because of his stabbed wound. Seconds later, the nurses finally ca inside the private ward.
They were surprised to see Natasha lying unconscious on the floor and the blood scattered just near her spot.
"She's not the wounded one. It's him. Please treat him right away!" Marceline inford the nurses, correcting their wrong assumption. They thought Natasha was the one who bled.
The nurses imdiately brought Dominique to the operating room while the other took Natasha, transferring her to another ward. Marceline followed Dominique. She waited for his surgery to finish. She was very worried about him.
"Natasha has gone crazy…" Marceline mumbled to herself. She couldn't believe that Natasha would attack her in a public place such as a hospital. She even did it while there was another person around.
"Hmm, I have to comnd her foolishness. At least, she is fighting head-on, not backstabbing , unlike her mother, Evelyn." Marceline shook her head.
She could easily put Natasha under control if she was this dumb. She had no experience in a scheming ga like her mother did.
anwhile, Cedric had been wondering what took Dominique so long. He told him that he would just see Roland Zhou for a few minutes but until now, he hadn't co down to the hospital lobby.
He wondered if he should go and check what he was doing right now. But Dominique's elite guard stopped him. He advised Cedric not to intervene and just stay there to wait.
Cedric was waiting for an update from Vladimir. He couldn't be at ease as long as Dominique was in a hospital. What if Kira would suddenly appear?
Unknown to him, Dominique pretended to be hurt so that he could spend more ti with Marceline. Dominique couldn't explain why he had beco so fond of this woman.
The doctor was done stitching his wound. It only took them ten minutes to finish it as it was not serious. Besides, no internal organ had been damaged by the surgical knife.
When he ca out of the room, Marceline was already waiting for him.
"Mr. Dominique, thank you for protecting . But at the sa ti, I would like to apologize for what happened. My family is having internal conflict right now. But I will not stop you if you want to sue my cousin for this."
Dominique watched Marceline intently. He couldn't read her expression. He didn't know whether she was stopping him from filing a case or she was encouraging him to do so.
"I'll think about it, Miss Zhou. How are you? Are you shocked about what happened?" There was a hint of concern in his voice.
Marceline nodded her head and said, "Yes, I'm surprised that my cousin beca this crazy bitch."
Dominique glanced at her with his blinking eyes. After that, a burst of laughter was heard in the hallway. Dominique laughed because of Marceline's bluntness. Marceline also joined him because his laughter was contagious.
"Thank you again, Mr. Dominique. How can I pay for your kindness?" Marceline asked him.
"Hmm, just treat to a al. That will be enough. I will also introduce you to my wife. I think you and my wife will get along really well." Dominique suddenly felt excited in introducing Marceline to his wife, Serena.
Marceline had no problem with that. Besides, Dominique seed to be a good guy to her.
"Alright, Mr. Dominique. I will find so ti. Can I also bring my husband with ?"
Dominique was taken aback when he heard that. "Oh, you already have a husband?"
"Yes. I have. And he is a great guy," Marceline proudly responded to him.
Dominique let out a chuckle. "Hmm, a great guy like . Well, I want to et him soon. Call if you already set the date for our dinner? I think it will beco a double dinner date!"
"Yeah, a double dinner date sounds fun." Marceline smiled faintly.
"Ok. I will be looking forward to that. By the way, you have to hire bodyguards for your safety. What if sothing like this happens again?" Dominique didn't hide his genuine concern for Marceline.
"Don't worry, Mr. Dominique. My husband is also my bodyguard. It just so happened he was not around today when the attack happened. But I assure you, my husband is my best bodyguard."
Dominique could only shake his head helplessly. "You are very proud of him and you trust him that much."
"Yes. Because I love him." She was not embarrassed to tell him that.
"Well, I'm glad to know you are happily in love with your husband. Now, I beca more curious to et him."
