Chapter 371 Blood in the Lobby
Jimmy had given Megan one order: follow Lily quietly and wait for the perfect moment to strike her severely, kill the baby in her womb, and if possible, force her into the same surgery Elsa had undergone.

Lily had gone out well–disguised today, wearing a mask and a hat. The average person wouldn’t recognize her on the street.
But Megan had been tailing her from the start. He knew exactly who the woman in the gray hat was.
Jimmy had paid him well. There was no room for mistakes.
–
Megan planned to To avoid suspicion – to make it seem like Lily hadn’t been deliberately targeted attack others too. He’d pretend to have a psychotic break, hurt a few random people, and make it all look like bad luck on Lily’s part. Just a victim caught in a madman’s outburst at a public place.
His venomous eyes locked onto Lily like a snake on prey.
He followed her into the hospital lobby, then suddenly whipped out a hidden folding knife and plunged it into the shoulder of a little boy wearing a cooling patch.
Blood spurted across the child’s white jacket.
Then, with equal viciousness, Megan slashed a nearby elderly woman’s shoulder.
“Ah! He’s killing people!”
The little boy’s mother shrieked, hugging her son tightly, terrified he’d strike again.
–
The hospital lobby was full of patients most too weak to fight back.
People panicked. The floor was slick with blood. Megan yanked the knife free from the old woman’s shoulder and charged forward, laughing wildly, brandishing his blade.
“Help! So much blood! Somebody stop him!”
Lily was frozen for a second – she never expected someone to lose it like this in a hospital lobby.
Megan’s attack was so sudden and brutal, there was no way she could take him head–on.
But the entrance wasn’t far, and there were security guards stationed by the doors.
If she ran that way, she could not only escape but also get help.
She turned and bolted for the lobby exit.
But Megan’s earlier stabbings were just a smokescreen. He’d come here for her. There was no way he’d let her go.
He charged at her like a storm, tightening his grip on the knife- and drove it straight toward her abdomen.

Chapter 371 Blood in the Lobby
James had shamelessly refused to sign the divorce certificate, and Jackson had been a wreck because of it-
After James left with Lily last night, Jackson had tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep.
First thing in the morning, he drove to the Luke family estate and lingered nearby.
When he saw Lily take a cab to the hospital, he followed her there too.
The moment he stepped into the hospital lobby, he saw it stabbing a blade straight toward Lily’s stomach.
For one terrifying instant, Jackson’s heart nearly stopped.
Then he broke into a full sprint.
Thank God – he was fast enough.
— a tall, thin man with a crazed expression,
He kicked the attacker’s arm, knocking the blade off its deadly course, then wrapped Lily tightly in his arms, shielding her.
The next sound was unmistakable: a blade sinking into flesh.
But it wasn’t Lily’s stomach that was pierced
–
it was Jackson’s back.
The force of Megan’s attack had already been weakened by the kick. The blade didn’t go in too deep.
Still, blood instantly soaked through Jackson’s white T–shirt, vivid red against the fabric.
Only after making sure Lily was safe did he kick again, sending Megan crashing to the floor.
By now, people were shouting for security.
Guards rushed in and tackled Megan, pinning him down and stopping him from hurting anyone else.
James had also come to the hospital that morning.
He’d noticed Lily sneezing nonstop earlier, and worried she might be unwell. He had even made ginger soup himself, intending to deliver it.
When he saw her take a cab toward the hospital, his concern deepened, and he followed.
Parking had taken time, and by the time he made it to the lobby, he walked into the exact scene he’d never wanted to witness:
