Chapter 2919
The dagger came down hard, but instead of hitting its target, it stabbed into the bedding.
"Something's off!" shouted one of the intruders, realizing they must have fallen on to a trap.
Lights in the room snapped on in an instant, and both groups were instantly locked in a wild scuffle. Patricia
understood they'd taken the bait, and her main aim now was to nab these two intruders.
Patricia hadn't forgotten the last ambush. This time, she made sure the area outside was empty, with only her and

"Glenn, let's make this quick!" Patricia shouted, knowing they had to act fast. She was aware that there were likely
more people outside waiting to back up the intruders.
"Got it," Glenn replied, intensifying his movements.
Patricia didn't waste anytime either, launching a rapid attack. Soon, she gained the upper hand.
With a powerful kick, Patricia knocked one of the assailants to the ground. The person clutched their chest,
struggling to get up but failing.
As Patricia turned to help Glenn, more people burst into the room.
One of them, dagger in hand, lunged at Glenn. Patricia didn't hesitate; she dashed forward, aiming to kick the
dagger away. But the attacker anticipated her move, swiping the dagger across her face.
Patricia winced in pain but quickly overpowered her opponent and moved on to the next one.
Fortunately, their enemies seemed wary of attracting too much attention, so there weren't many of them. Patricia
and Glenn quickly subdued the attackers.
Soon, police sirens wailed as they arrived, arresting the culprits. Glenn was taken away for questioning, while
Patricia, injured, stayed behind at the hospital to get treated.
"They came..." Patricia recounted the events to the remaining officer, speaking carefully while the doctor tended to

The officer looked at Patricia, his expression complex as he noted down everything she said.
"Just be careful going forward," the doctor advised, but before he could finish, Patricia was already standing up.
"I've told you everything I know. Do I need to go to the station?" she asked the officer.
"No need, but please be available if we have more questions, " the officer replied.
"Sure," Patricia said, then left the hospital.
Once outside, Patricia got into her car. The moment she was alone, her composed demeanor faded.
She touched the bandage on her cheek, her eyes reddening slightly. 'It's my own face, how could I not care? But
this is the life I chose, always on the edge,' she thought. 'Today it's just a cut, but next time, it could be my life.'
