My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire！

Therefore, she was completely unaware of what was happening outside.

She only heard someone enter and call her name.

It was then that Nara walked out and saw Mrs. Spencer.

Mrs. Spencer's face was streaked with tears as she stared at Nara. "Nara, Gary was going to jump off a building for you!"

Stunned by the news, Nara replied, "How can that be? Where is he? I'll go talk to him!"

No matter how much she disliked Gary or hated that he didn't take her seriously, these things seemed less important in the face of life and death.

As Nara spoke, she approached Mrs. Spencer.

Mrs. Spencer suddenly grabbed her arm. "There's no need."

Nara was taken aback. "Was he saved?"

"No," Mrs. Spencer said, her eyes brimming with tears. "He's dead."

Upon hearing those words, Nara stood frozen, looking at Mrs. Spencer in disbelief. "What did you say? How could he... How?!"

Mrs. Spencer said, "He said that you would never forgive him, that he could never be with you in this lifetime, so he didn't want to live anymore."

Tears rolled down Nara's cheeks.

She could have never imagined that Gary would love her so much!

If that was the case, why had he forced her to become his mistress in the first place?!

Nara seemed dazed for a moment.

Mrs. Spencer asked, "Nara, look, Gary did love you a lot, right?"

With tears streaming down her cheeks, Nara nodded. "Yes."

Then Mrs. Spencer said, "So, why don't you go and join him?"

Nara didn't quite understand what Mrs. Spencer meant at first and looked at the latter with disbelief. Mrs. Spencer's hand had been hidden behind her back all along, and she suddenly lurched out, aiming a knife straight at Nara's heart!

Nara's pupils shrank in an instant.

Time seemed to slow down at that moment...

Not far away, Keira felt as though she was very close to Nara, yet the few steps between them became a matter of life and death.

She simply couldn't reach Nara's side in an instant.

At that moment, Keira's mind was concerned about Nara's life!

Was it the doing of the person sent by the South family? Had they been subtly guiding the actions of Gary and Mrs. Spencer all along? That person knew human nature too well.

Or rather, they knew the characters of Gary and Mrs. Spencer too well.

Unable to have Nara, Gary would undoubtedly go to extremes. And Mrs. Spencer, having lost her son, lost her reason!

Nara's death at the hands of Mrs. Spencer sounded plausible.

It appeared to be a crime of passion.

All of it would leave no trace.

It's as if that person had never existed...

But if Nara were to be killed, Keira's relationship with the Gill family would never be firm! She would never be able to complete her mission! She would never gain the South family's recognition! She would never be able to save her mother!

Keira's face was etched with desperation, and she radiated a profound sense of powerlessness.

She wished she could teleport to Nara's side, but was helpless and could only watch the knife fall...

Nara also felt like she was being controlled, with no way to escape.

She watched as the knife got closer and closer to her chest... as if she was touching the edge of death!

But when she felt most desperate, someone suddenly rushed over and pushed her away forcefully! Then, the knife plunged deep into the back of that person!

Nara was knocked to the ground.

She looked at the person in front of her in shock... It was Austin!

Austin stood in front of her, stabbed in the back, while Mrs. Spencer immediately tried to pull out the knife, but the sharp blade had already penetrated Austin's bone and couldn't be pulled out in an instant.

Mrs. Spencer was about to try harder when Keira arrived. She kicked Mrs. Spencer away and swiftly subdued her, then turned to look at the siblings.

Austin had a knife in his back...

In such a situation, the body's instinct would be to collapse immediately, protecting the most vulnerable brain and heart...

But Austin didn't.

It was as though he didn't feel the knife in his back at all. He still stood there and reached out to Nara. "Barbara, did you get hurt? I didn't mean to push you..."

His words made Keira want to cry.

Nara finally realized the situation. She hurriedly got up from the ground and rushed to Austin's side. "Are you okay? Let me see..."

She tried to look at the wound on his back, but Austin stopped her. "I'm fine. Don't look... It'll scare you."

Tears welled up in Nara's eyes as she sobbed and cried. "Let me see. How are you doing?"

"I'm okay..."

But Austin's strength was fading, and eventually, he was turned around by Nara, who immediately saw the knife in his back.

The knife was deeply embedded in his back, with only the handle sticking out.

Blood flowed slowly from the wound... soaking his shirt...

Austin was still trying to cover Nara's eyes. "Barbara, don't look... I'm fine."

As he said these words, his strength slowly left him, and he collapsed to the ground, pulling Nara down with him.

Nara cried out in panic. "Austin, are you alright? Don't scare me!"

At that moment, Austin was already in a daze. Gazing at Nara, he suddenly said, "Sister, I protected you well this time." n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

...

Mrs. Spencer was taken to the police station and arrested on charges of attempted murder.

Austin was rushed to the hospital in an emergency; the doctor said the knife had pierced his lung, causing hemothorax, and it was uncertain whether he could make it.

Keira accompanied Nara and waited outside the operating room.

Nara stood there, staring at the operating room's door, completely dazed.

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of high heels and footsteps hurriedly approached—it was the Gill family.

Lady Gill and her husband walked in front, followed by Austin's two elder brothers and the bodyguards. A whole group of them arrived in a flurry.

Lady Gill immediately asked, "How is Austin? What happened?!"

Hearing this, Nara seemed to come back to her senses.

She stared blankly at Lady Gill, tears streaming down her face, and suddenly strode forward, kneeling with a thud. "I'm sorry. He got injured trying to save me. I'm so sorry..."

Nara wept bitterly.

Meanwhile, Keira clenched her jaw, and at that moment, her phone vibrated.

Keira picked it up and saw a message from an unfamiliar number. "Idiot! Have you lost so soon? If Austin dies, the Gill family will surely blame Nara! You've just wasted such a valuable pawn! Your mission has failed!"
