Chapter: 1351

Suddenly, the man slashed Lanny's throat again, causing blood to spray violently.

The man didn't glance at Lanny. He shoved him toward the security and hurried off to Norah.

His knife shimmered with a cold, eerie light. He held it high in his hands and pointed it at Norah.

This abrupt turn shocked everyone, except Norah.

Joanna prepared to shield Norah with her body from the knife but was quickly pulled back by Norah.

“Chayce!" Norah yelled.

Chayce was already in action. He and the bodyguards rushed forward and overpowered the man.

The police arrived afterward, taking custody of the man and expressing gratitude to the bodyguards.

The scene was chaotic. Nurses and doctors hurried to transport Lanny on a crash cart. Other injured doctors were also moved, and the police worked to maintain order.

Someone gasped at the grim scene. "Dr. Mitchell was cut straight in the throat-it's dreadful."

Another sighed, "Dr. Mitchell is probably not going to make it. His blood was splattered all around."

“Why would the attacker target Dr. Mitchell?" questioned another.

“He's a top doctor at Concord Hospital. How could such a thing occur?"

A voice piped up, “It's because he was blamed for the attacker's wife's death."

“But that surgery was three years ago. It's unjust to blame Dr. Mitchell now," another retorted, defending Lanny.

Murmurs swirled among the onlookers, each sharing their thoughts on the dreadful incident.

Elsa observed from the sidelines, her gaze fixed on Norah for a time before she decisively turned away.

Joanna affirmed to Norah, "You know I can protect you."

“Be sure to stay safe if something like this happens again," Norah responded, patting Joanna's head in mild irritation, appreciating her intention but confident in her own security measures.

In a protective reflex, Joanna had shielded Norah during the panic.

Now, coming to her senses and overwhelmed by the reality of danger, she felt a mix of fear and frustration from being in a vulnerable state in the hospital.

Susanna, visibly shaken, suggested, "Let's leave this place."

Witnessing such violence firsthand was unnerving.

“Hopefully, Dr. Mitchell will make it," Susanna expressed.
