"Not good, not good! I don't want to leave you. Even if it means death, I want to die with you!"
Saying this, Li Ting pulled out a dagger from her down jacket pocket and rushed towards Chen Shi.
Chen Shi could have easily dodged Li Ting's attack when he saw her approaching with the dagger. However, he was afraid that if he dodged, Li Man would be harmed because she was standing right behind him.
So, he tightly shielded Li Man behind him.
"No, don't—"
Just as the dagger was about to stab Chen Shi, Li Man screamed. Without thinking, she instinctively pushed Chen Shi aside, and the dagger plunged into her own body.
A sharp pain spread from her chest to her limbs.
Li Man widened her eyes, feeling incredibly unlucky.
"Li Man—"
Chen Shi was terrified, his legs turned weak. He pushed Li Ting away with force and anxiously held Li Man's faltering body, crying out her name.
Li Ting fell to the ground. Seeing how concerned Chen Shi was for Li Man, she became furious. She pulled out another dagger from her pocket and lunged at Chen Shi.
Today, she brought two daggers with her—one to kill the couple and the other for her own suicide.
But Chen Shi easily avoided her attack. He snatched the dagger from Li Ting's hand and pushed her to the ground, his eyes turning red with anger. He shouted, "Are you out of your mind?"
"Hahaha... Die! I want you all to die... Hahaha... You despicable couple, die... Hahaha..."
Li Ting laughed manically, speaking incoherently.
The cold wind blew, and the park was empty, covered in snow and ice.
Seeing Li Ting's madness, Chen Shi couldn't even find the words to scold her. He quickly crouched down, lifted Li Man into his arms, and hurriedly carried her to the car. The car raced towards the hospital like an arrow.
Li Man felt a chilling sensation throughout her body, uncontrollable shivers taking hold. If she were to die like this, she thought it would be so unfair.
She felt incredibly unlucky.
Seeing Li Man's vacant eyes, Chen Shi was overwhelmed with fear. His voice trembled as he said, "Li Man, wake up! Don't fall asleep. I'm taking you to the hospital right now. We'll be there soon. Just hold on..."
At the hospital, Chen Shi rushed into the operating room while holding Li Man in his arms.
"Doctor, help us!"
Li Man was taken into the operating room.
Chen Shi waited outside the operating room, trembling with fear.
His hands shaking, he took out his phone and dialed 911.
The police arrived at Zhongshan Park and found Li Ting sitting on the ground, crying and laughing as if she had gone mad.
...
Li Ting had lost her sanity.
Li Man didn't die.
Fortunately, the dagger didn't hit her heart.
Chen Shi felt extremely guilty. He hadn't anticipated that his actions would harm two women.
When Li Man woke up, she saw Chen Shi's haggard face.
"You're awake."
Chen Shi's eyes were bloodshot, as if he hadn't slept for days.
Li Man managed a weak smile and said, "Why are your eyes so red? How many days have you been awake?"
"You've been asleep for a day and a night," Chen Shi replied.
Li Man couldn't believe that she had been unconscious for so long.
Thinking of Li Ting, Li Man asked, "How is Li Ting? Did you call the police?"
Chen Shi lowered his reddened eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "She's in a mental hospital."
Li Man was taken aback and asked, "She...?"
"She went crazy!" Chen Shi replied.
Li Man was shocked and couldn't find the words to express her feelings. It didn't sit well with her.
