Ranran made the decision without even thinking - let the dagger stab far, Armand is still the character she needs to befriend, and her mission still revolves around him, so she doesn't seem to have much choice.
She would most likely not die if stabbed by the silver cross, but Armand would definitely die.
Although the plot of blocking the knife and sacrificing oneself to help others is rather vulgar and bloody, compared with other strategies to build closer relationships, its effectiveness is swift and amazing.
Most people who are still alive in this world cherish life.
When a person who can save you and prolong your life suddenly appears, no matter how unpredictable or cold-blooded you are, you will be touched.
Ran Ran sighed, expressing her helplessness at not having any choice.
At this moment, she was very glad that Director Sun Haian chose Dr. Bai to be a member of the five-member team.
Ranran hugged Armand's neck tightly and held his broad shoulders with both hands for strength.
At the moment when the [Eye of Truth] faded and the silver cross dagger stabbed towards her, she successfully propped herself up and stood behind Armand.
There was a "swish" sound as the dagger pierced into the flesh, and Ranran even felt that the sharp dagger pierced her bones.
Armand was slightly startled and turned his head in shock.
The pain did not come immediately, but Ranran's face had turned pale and cold sweat was pouring down his face.
Ran Ran blinked her confused eyes. Was this body reacting so strongly because it was already weak?
The scene in front of her eyes was blurry and shaky, and Ranran almost had a familiar feeling. Was the color block vision coming again?
She didn't want to faint yet... She hadn't observed Armand's expression yet...
I don't need to say I'm grateful, but being a little touched will do... Ranran's thoughts started to become confused, and his vision gradually sank into darkness.
"Miss!" Ah Fu exclaimed.
Armand reacted faster, his expression turned cold and murderous in an instant, but he knew what was most important.
"Arnold."
He called Doctor Bai softly and immediately started treating Ranran.
As for the assassin, Armand remembered that it was the coachman who came to the castle with Melris and others.
The driver's rhythm was already messed up. He didn't expect that a disabled lady would suddenly appear to help a bastard like Armand block the knife.
Seeing that his first strike failed, the driver wanted to stab again, but the male servants around him had already moved. Several of them surrounded him and caught the driver without much effort. Minister Gao saw the opportunity and kicked the dagger out of the driver's hand.
The silver cross fell into the grass beside it like a flash of silver lightning.
The coldness around Armand has not subsided since Ranran fell into coma. He lowered his eyes to look at Ranran's bloodless face and revealed a cold and cruel smile.
"Let him go."
The servants who held the coachman were startled. Did they hear correctly? Did the Count just say to let go?
The servants were unable to react, and it was only until Ahfu, who looked anxious, stood beside Armand and winked at him frantically that the servants let go.
Armand stretched out his hand and slowly tightened his palm, and a scene that shocked everyone appeared.
The driver, who was originally sitting on the ground, suddenly flew into the air!
As Armand continued to tighten his grip, the driver could hear the sound of bones breaking "crackling".
"You want to kill me? Are you ready to die?" Armand said in a cold tone, "You have just committed the most unforgivable thing in the world."
In contrast to Armand's slow tone, the coachman was constantly spitting out blood.
Everyone could sense that the driver also wanted to say something, but Armand didn't give him a chance to speak.
Ah Fu's brows twitched as he watched, and the others looked even more pale.
It was the first time that the Earl showed such a brutal side in front of the castle servants. Ah Fu looked at the other servants' drastic changes in expression and couldn't help but said: "...Master, please spare his life, you can try him..."
He wanted to say interrogation as an excuse to prevent the coachman from dying so painfully, but Armand interrupted him.
"You're right, Alfred." Armand stopped smiling, "We shouldn't let him die so easily."
"..." Ah Fu hesitated, "Well... the master is right."
After simply stopping the bleeding, Armand directly asked Dr. Bai to take Ranran to his room.
Doctor Bai's intuition was wrong. If we follow Black Tea's inference, then Elizabeth's injury was the moment when the opportunity appeared...
He turned around to look for Heicha in the crowd and saw Heicha nodding to him.
In this case, a relatively private environment is needed so that he can talk to Elizabeth, and the Earl's room is obviously not a good choice.
After confirming the look, Dr. Bai said calmly: "Your Excellency, I can cure Miss Elizabeth. There is no need to go to your room. Just give me an empty room."
Armand was obviously in a very bad mood. Hearing this, he gave Dr. Bai a cold look.
"Do you have a problem with my room, or do you have a problem with me?"
"Elizabeth must recover in front of me." After saying that, he hugged Ranran and left directly. Dr. Bai had no choice but to follow.
At this point, Elizabeth's life is more important, because that could very well be the life of the evil boy!
Armand put Ranran on the bed, not minding at all that her blood stained the luxurious bedding red.
"What are you still doing?"
Doctor Bai sighed in his heart and immediately stepped forward with his suitcase. He took out the hemostatic powder and sprinkled it on Ranran's wound. At the same time, he quietly used his ability to heal Ranran's wound where Armand couldn't see.
Armand looked at it and suddenly said, "This is the first time I've seen a doctor pour medicine directly through his clothes."
Caught off guard, Dr. Bai felt like he was being blamed and was very uncomfortable with it.
He hadn't been taught how to save lives for a long time. Since he gained the ability, he has completely overturned traditional methods in treating illnesses and saving lives.
After all, no matter what kind of injury it is, as long as he uses his ability and strength to try to recover.
Now, all the bleeding-stopping methods he used in front of Armand were just acting.
So the current situation is that his performance was not good enough and the audience was dissatisfied.
"My powder is very effective. Even a small amount can have an effect, so it can be effective even through clothes. Your Excellency does not need to worry."
Armand frowned in dissatisfaction and wanted to speak again. Doctor White said calmly: "Besides, I am also concerned about Miss Elizabeth's reputation."
"You insisted on completing the treatment in front of you, so as a doctor I should try to avoid taking off clothes and exposing the wound."
Armand sneered, "You have considered it comprehensively, but you really underestimate the relationship between Elizabeth and me."
Dr. Bai listened with his back to Armand and frowned. What kind of relationship could make Armand say such a thing?
Armand said coldly: "I hope Dr. Arnold will consider Elizabeth's health."
"Even if you don't need to cut open the clothes to stop the bleeding, don't you need to sew up the wound later?"
Doctor Bai's hands trembled when he heard this.
Is there a possibility... that he doesn't need any stitches when he uses his ability?
If he really performed a real stitching scene for the needs of Armand, then Elizabeth...
This is too pitiful. It's not enough to be pierced by a dagger, but he also has to endure the pain of a needle piercing his skin...
This is a completely unprovoked disaster. (End of this chapter)
