Chapter 347 Live

Upon seeing this, Emily was completely at a loss. She turned to Michael and said, “Mr. Winslow, give Vanessa some space.”

Then, the group left the room together.

In the living room, Emily paced back and forth restlessly.

No matter how she thought about it, she just couldn’t stop worrying about Vanessa.

So, she quietly tiptoed to the bedroom door and gently pushed it open.

As the door swung open, she let out a startled scream. “Vanessa, what on earth are you doing?”

With that, she rushed into the room.

There, Vanessa was holding a knife and slashing at her own arm with all her might.

Immediately, blood started to gush out.

Emily’s heart skipped a beat. Without hesitation, she reached out and grabbed the blade with her bare hand.

Fearing that Vanessa might snatch it back, she ignored the searing pain as the blade cut into her palm. She held on tightly, and blood trickled down between her fingers, staining everything.

Vanessa was shocked. Looking at Emily with concern, she stammered, “E–Emily, let go.”

Emily firmly replied, “No way.”

Tears streaming down her face, Vanessa said painfully, “Emily, just let me end it. What’s the point of me living?”

With tears welling up in her eyes, Emily said, “You still have me. What would I do if something happened to

you?”

Just then, Alexander and Michael rushed in, both looking

worried.

Seeing that Vanessa seemed to be influenced by Emily’s words, Michael chimed in, “I’m here, too.”

Hearing this, Alexander scoffed disdainfully.

All he could focus on was Emily’s injury.

So, he said to Vanessa harshly, “If you want to die, go ahead. But think about it. Derek will be free. No one will seek justice for you. Besides Emily, who’ll be heartbroken, I won’t care at all.”

Alexander’s words really hit Vanessa hard.

Angrily, Emily turned around and said to Alexander, “Alexander, stop it.”

Michael understood Alexander’s intention, but he also worried that Alexander’s way might make things worse.

Vanessa still held the knife handle tightly, and blood was still dripping from Emily’s hand.

Ignoring Emily, Alexander raised his voice at Vanessa. “You’ve got time to turn the knife on your best friend. Why don’t you use that time to collect evidence and put Derek behind bars for longer? If I were you, Derek would be in cuffs by now, instead of you sitting here crying and hugting others. If I were going to die, I’d make sure he7:30

paid the price first.”

Unable to stop Alexander from “adding fuel to the fire“, Emily could only look at Vanessa anxiously, hoping she’d take Alexander’s words to heart.

Harsh as they were, they made sense.

Vanessa stared blankly ahead, lost in thought.

Slowly, as if she’d really listened, she let go of the knife.

Emily quickly snatched it away.

Seeing this, Alexander stepped forward, grabbed Emily’s bleeding hand, and held it tightly.

At the same time, he said to Vanessa, “Remember, only by living can you have a chance at everything. If you die, it’s all over.”

With that, he led Emily out of the room.

Emily staggered after him.

Without a moment’s delay, Alexander took her to the 7:30

elevator, out of the apartment complex, and to a nearby clinic.

He asked the doctor to clean and bandage Emily’s wound.

As the doctor was treating her in the treatment room, Emily winced in pain and let out a soft groan.

Alexander knew she was in pain. He felt sorry for her, but his words were still tough. “Just bear it if you’re stupid enough to do that.”

Emily looked up at him, annoyed. “Alexander, you…”

Looking into her eyes seriously, Alexander said, “If you want to protect others, you’ve got to protect yourself first.”

Emily didn’t say a word and hung her head in shame.

Once the doctor wrapped up the wound–cleaning, Alexander paid the bill.

Silence enveloped them as they stepped out of the clinic side by side.

Out in the open, though, Alexander caved. He sidled up to Emily and blurted, “Angry?”

Emily shook her head. “No. Just think you’ve got a point.”

Alexander sensed she was being dead serious, yet he didn’t wanna overplay his hand on this topic.

He smoothly shifted gears. “With Michael around, Ms. Taylor will be in the clear,” he assured.

Emily gave a little nod. “Okay,” she murmured.

They sauntered on, the quiet stretching out between

them.

Alexander’s patience wore thin. He halted and told Emily, “Mom’s keen on having you over at our place.”

Emily went a bit jittery. “I’m gearing up for grad school apps. Appreciate the offer, though.”

But Alexander wasn’t buying her excuse. “How does applying for grad school have anything to do with coming to my place?”

Emily knew she was up against a stubborn one and didn’t want to get bogged down in this conversation.

After a brief hesitation, she said, “Let’s see how it goes later.”

Alexander knew she was trying to skirt the matter, and he wasn’t letting her off the hook. “If you chicken out later, I’ll come and haul you there,” he warned.

Emily kept her lips sealed.

They kept walking when, all of a sudden, whoops and cheers echoed up ahead.

A cluster of people had gathered, the lights flickering erratically. It was a mystery what held their attention, but every face was alight with excitement, and the air was filled with cries of approval.
