In the midst of the chaos, a manâs voice resonated.
âMaggie!â
Maggie spun around to find Sanford pushing through the crowd.
His expression was icy, yet a flicker of anxiety could be detected within his striking eyes.
He was here!
Maggieâs eyes welled up with tears; she felt like a drowning person clutching a lifeline, relief mingling with a sense of injustice.
âSanford!â
Arriving by her side, a breathless Sanford assured her, âDonât fear.
Iâm here.
â
Maggieâs voice was ragged as she said, âYanaâs taken my brother hostage.
â
âItâs alright.
Iâm here.
â
Sanford gently enfolded her into his arms, his soothing voice offering comfort.
Sanford had drawn Yanaâs attention since his appearance.
Seeing his tender interaction with Maggie, Yanaâs eyes blazed with manic resentment.
âMaggie, will you come over or not?â
In her frenzy, Yana pressed the knife a tad deeper into Bartâs neck.

A stifled groan escaped Bartâs lips, and he involuntarily flinched backward, his features contorting in pain.
Observing her brotherâs agony, Maggie broke free from Sanfordâs grasp and advanced.
âIâm coming.
Let Bart go!â
But Sanford swiftly pulled her back, halting her progress.
âYana, Iâm the one who committed you to the psychiatric hospital.
If you seek vengeance, itâs me you should blame.
â
Yana locked her gaze onto him, bellowing, âFine! I want Maggie dead.
Would you die for her?â
Without skipping a beat, Sanford moved Maggie behind him, inching toward Yana.
âAlright, first let him go, and Iâ11 be at your disposal.
â
His steady advance unnerved Yana.
