Eula's words shocked Deanna.
She wanted to kill Lance, how could that be possible?!
"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Deanna immediately looked over, displeased.
Eula looked at Deanna, who seemed clueless about what had happened, and was not surprised at all.
Her eyes flickered slightly as she sternly said, "What? So many people saw it, and you have Lance's blood on you. Do you still want to argue?"
"I..."
Deanna wanted to say that she didn't argue at all.
But before she could finish her sentence, she saw the dark red bloodstains on her body, even on her hands, and her eyes widened.
And she wasn't a fool. Connecting the dots with the way others had looked at her just now, she knew that maybe what this woman in front of her said was true.
Thinking of this, she suppressed the panic and worry in her heart and asked, "Where is Lance?"
"Mr. Mercer was sent to the hospital. Mr. Nelson specifically instructed me to escort you back," Shannon said, realizing the situation.
Shannon quickly walked up to Deanna, guarding against Eula.
Deanna didn't notice Shannon's actions and, upon hearing that she would be taken back, refused without hesitation, "I'm not going back. Take me to the hospital where Lance is."
"I'm going too!" Ollie and the other two quickly chimed in.
Seeing this, Shannon understood that her refusal would be futile, so she agreed.
Soon, the group left the arena.
As they watched their figures disappear into the distance, the others who had been hesitant to discuss began to talk.
"What do you think is going on?"
"Didn't they say Mr. Mercer and his fiancee were very loving? Why would his fiancee hurt him?"
"Could it be because of that foreign woman just now?"
Jessica and Julia, who had hurried over, immediately rebuked them, "Stop spreading baseless rumors. Deanna would never harm Lance. There must be hidden reasons behind this!"
Eula heard this and a cold light flashed in her eyes as she stepped out of the crowd and sneered, "You're all Deanna's friends, of course you'll defend her!"
"It's you!" Julia recognized Eula and immediately showed hostility on her face.
She coldly snorted, "The same goes for you. You're our Deanna's love rival, naturally only capable of belittling Deanna and causing trouble!"
Eula was momentarily at a loss for words after being retorted.
But Julia didn't want to waste any more time on this woman. She called out to Lionel beside her, "Take me to find Deanna. Something big has happened, and she must be having a hard time accepting it!"
And indeed she was.
Although Deanna had appeared calm in front of everyone earlier, once she got in the car, her heart was quickly overwhelmed by self-blame and regret.
Especially when she saw the bloodstains on her body, she felt as if someone was squeezing her heart tightly, causing immense pain.
So much blood had been shed; Lance must be seriously injured.
And so, they quickly arrived at the hospital.
Hardly had the car stopped when Deanna couldn't wait any longer. She opened the door and got out of the car, then ran towards the hospital building.
But before she could run a few steps, she heard two familiar voices behind her.
"Deanna?!"
Hearing this voice, Deanna froze but still turned around to look calmly at them. "Logan, Samantha."
Yes, it was Logan and Samantha who had received the news.
They saw the bloodstains on Deanna's body and their expressions changed.
They didn't believe that Deanna would harm Lance, but the scene before them made them hesitate.
Deanna also noticed their change in expression and felt like a child who had done something wrong. She lowered her head and apologized, "I'm sorry. I don't know why I would hurt Lance, but I can assure you that it was never my intention."
As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes uncontrollably.
If she wasn't afraid they wouldn't believe her, she would even say that she didn't even know how she hurt Lance in the first place.
Logan and Samantha didn't know about all this.
They looked at the remorseful woman in front of them and persuaded her, "We know you didn't intentionally hurt Lance. You were forced to do it."
"Huh?" Deanna looked at them puzzled.
Ollie and the others who had been silent also didn't understand.
But before they could ask further questions, Logan spoke again, "We'll talk about all this later. For now, let's go inside and see how Lance is doing."
Hearing this, Deanna also knew that Lance's condition was the most important thing right now.
She nodded and followed Logan and Samantha towards the emergency room.
Ollie and the others followed closely behind.
Outside the emergency room, Xavier paced anxiously in the corridor.
At this moment, he heard Deanna's and Logan's voices.
"Xavier, how is Lance doing now?"
"Mr. Nelson, how is Lance's condition?"
As they spoke, they quickly approached Xavier.
Seeing Deanna, Xavier was surprised. "Missus, you're awake?"
Deanna didn't understand why he said she was awake but still nodded. She then asked about Lance's condition again.
"How is Lance doing now?"
