"Nina, are the kids asleep?" Luca asked. She did not want to scare them.

"They're asleep. What happened? Why do you sound so weak?" Nina noticed how terrible she sounded and asked quickly.

"Something happened. Can you drive over and pick me up at the gate of the villa? I can't walk, and they don't allow cabs to go in," Luca said. If she had the strength, she would not want to trouble Nina.

"Okay, I'll come out right now." Nina did not dare to delay things. She immediately took the keys and left the villa. Her car was parked in the parking space outside the villa.

"Ma'am, we're here. Are you sure you're alright?" The driver noticed that Luca's complexion was getting worse and worse.

"I'm alright. I've asked a friend to pick me up, thank you." Luca held on. After she paid, she opened the car door, endured the pain, and got out.

She saw Nina's car parked on the side of the road inside the villa area.

Luca gritted her teeth and walked forward.

It was too dark, so even though Nina was there, she did not notice that Luca had gotten out of the cab. When Nina saw Luca, Luca had already walked in.

Her slightly hunched back was completely different from how she usually appeared.

Nina walked forward immediately and asked with concern, "Luca, are you okay?"

Luca was covering her ribs. She had bandaged the area with gauze and covered it with a scarf, so she was not sure if she was still bleeding.

She shook her head and said, "Help me get in the car."

Nina wanted to see where she was injured but she dared not delay things. She immediately helped Luca into the car, then sat in the driver's seat and drove back to the villa.

After she parked the car, Nina helped Luca to go inside.

When they arrived in the living room, she noticed how abnormal Luca seemed. The scarf that should have been around her neck was now around her waist.

"Luca, is your waist injured? I smell blood..." Nina frowned at the strong smell of blood. It seemed that Luca was seriously injured. owns all content.

"Please help me to the second floor. I can't do it myself." Luca bit her pale lip to give herself some strength.

Nina nodded and immediately supported her. Since she did not know where Luca was injured, she had to grab her arm and help her up the stairs step by step.

It was only 20 steps, but it took Luca, who was supported by Nina, a while before they got to the second floor.

The two were already out of breath.

Cold sweat broke out on Luca's back, and sweat beads appeared on Nina's forehead as well.

"Do you want to go into the bedroom?" she asked nervously.

Luca nodded. She was worried that their movements would wake the children, so she whispered, "Don't be too loud. I'm afraid it'll scare the children."

"Okay." Nina tried to be as quiet as she could and helped her into the bedroom.

Luca could not hold it any longer. She staggered and fell onto the bed.

Nina looked at how weak she seemed and said while frightened, "Luca, we should call you an ambulance?"

"I'm fine. I don't need an ambulance." Luca closed her eyes and was secretly glad that Nina was there. Otherwise, it would be difficult for her to deal with it all. "Nina, I need your help."

"I don't even know where you're hurt. How can I help you? I don't have any medical knowledge." Nina looked at her weak appearance and was stressed out.

"Don't be afraid. First, help me take out the box full of jars from the drawer under the dresser." Luca had been friends with her for so many years. She knew that Nina was not scared of blood.

This was something only people who were not scared of blood could do.

Nina took a deep breath. Since Luca refused to go to the hospital, she was all Luca had. She listened to her, opened the drawer of the dresser, and saw the box Luca mentioned at a glance.

She picked it up, opened it, looked at the bottles and jars inside, and asked, "Which one is it?"

"The blue jar. And the transparent one is the disinfectant. Bring the small white box over too." Luca opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling. Her view was blurry because she had lost too much blood. She felt that the light in front of her was dim.

Nina grabbed all of them immediately and asked, "What do you want me to do?"

"The scissors are in another drawer. Please take them," Luca said. She bit her lip and unwrapped the scarf.

Nina took out the scissors, turned around, and saw Luca's torn clothes. She immediately stepped forward and shouted, "Luca, were you stabbed?"

Luca did not make a sound. She rolled up her clothes and said, "Cut off the gauze and help me get up." Nina nodded and cut off the gauze with trembling hands. The wound on Luca's waist was immediately exposed.

The bloody wound looked horrendous.

Nina could even see blood spurting out.

"Help me up." Luca reminded her when she noticed that Nina was stunned.

Nina came back to her senses and immediately helped her get up.

Luca leaned against the head of the bed and glanced down at her wound. She seemed indifferent, which was a stark contrast to Nina, who was panicking.

"Give me the disinfectant," she ordered.

Nina stood there in shock and subconsciously handed over the disinfectant. She even forgot to unscrew the bottle cap.

Luca struggled to unscrew the cap. She then poured the entire bottle of antiseptic over the wound.

Nina took a deep breath.

'This is a disinfectant... It must hurt like crazy...'

She looked at Luca, worried that she would faint from the pain. However, Luca's expression did not change in the slightest. Her face was still pale, but she did not scream out in pain.

After she disinfected her wound, Luca was not bothered that the disinfectant had gotten her pants wet. She continued to instruct Nina, "Open the blue jar."

Nina did as she was told and handed it to her.

Without blinking, Luca poured the powder onto the wound.

The gauze binding the wound had a certain hemostatic effect, but such a simple binding would cause the wound to be infected easily. At the risk of continued bleeding, Luca also cut the gauze.

Moreover, as soon as she came back, she immediately applied medicine to the wound. It could stop the bleeding and promote wound healing.

Nina did not blink and watched her work. After seeing the powder scattered over the wound, she noticed that the bleeding was reduced.

She had long heard that Luca had a lot of powerful medicinal powders, but she did not expect them to work so well.

After applying the powder, Luca said, "Nina, do me a favor and open the small white jar. Take out the needle and thread inside. Put the thread in the needle for me."

Nina was startled and responded, "What are you going to do?"

"I want to suture the wound," Luca said. The wound was too deep. If it was not sutured, she might bleed out.

When Nina heard what Luca said, she shook her head quickly and said, "Luca, that's not easy to do. Should I take you to the hospital?"

"Trust me." Luca sounded weak because of the blood loss. She looked at Nina and knew that she was the only one who could help her.
