A punch from Xavier landed heavily on the bed.

Ella...

He murmured Ella's name softly, his eyes showing a hint of sadness.

The only woman he had ever loved in his life was now in a life-threatening crisis, her life or death unknown. If he continued to hide here and enjoy comfort, he would not deserve to be her man.

"Chen, I want to consult with you about something..."

Before Xavier could finish speaking, Bradley coldly interrupted, "Your body has not fully recovered. You know better than anyone the consequences of leaving the medical room at this time. I understand your concern for Ella, but I also assure you that nothing will happen to her!"

Xavier's body was too severely damaged, and an ordinary person would have long lost their life from such serious injuries.

It was Hawke who had exhausted all his energy and fought against the God of Death to bring him back from the brink of death.

Even though he was alive, this body still needed various medical instruments to sustain his life. If he left at this time, before reaching the underground labyrinth, he would not be able to bear it.

Therefore, he will not agree to any of his requests!

"Ming…"

"No need to say more, without my orders, you are not allowed to step out of the medical room!"

With that statement, Bradley hung up the phone.

Xavier weakly lay on the bed, gripping it tightly, screaming in desperation.

Hawke, who arrived upon hearing the sound, was scared to see him frantically pulling out the needles on his hand, and hurried to stop him, "Are you crazy? I worked hard to save your life. If you wanted to die, you shouldn't have woken up. Why waste so much of my energy?"

Hawke couldn't contain his anger at seeing him show such little regard for himself.

He knew Xavier was in pain. After all, the once handsome man had now fallen to such a pitiful state that anyone would find it hard to accept.

Moreover, his beloved was still in crisis, even if he had never been with a woman, he could still understand the feeling of helplessness.

Xavier like this, there is no difference from a waste person. Even if he rushes to the underground labyrinth, it is still just becoming a burden to the young master. "Do I need you to save me? Get lost..." Xavier was very agitated, yelling at Hawke. Dr. Hawke, who was innocently caught in the middle, twitched at the corner of his mouth. With such a bad temper, he still wouldn't let him help? Fine, next time don't expect him to help with cosmetic surgery. Hawke was also furious, stomping away and slamming the door. Apart from performing surgery on him and monitoring his vital signs, he spent the rest of his time researching a special medicine to quickly repair his appearance. And how does this man repay him? By starting fires at him time and time again! He had had enough!

Underground maze.

After hanging up the phone, Bradley continued to search for the mechanism.

Just as the path was clear up to this point, the bloodstains disappeared again.

Inside the ice room, Oneng could clearly hear the movements outside, holding their breath and not daring to make a sound.

Luckily, the mechanism leading to the ice room was quite unique. Even if Bradley had extraordinary abilities, he wouldn't be able to find this place for the time being.

Therefore, Shadow was not worried.

Ella, lying on the ground struggling to breathe, also clearly heard the sound of someone making a phone call outside. Especially when Bradley mentioned the word 'city,' her heart beat rapidly twice.

Was it about Xavier?

When she realized that Bradley might be calling Xavier, a long silent hope suddenly shying into Ella's heart, and a seed of hope sprouted and took root.

At this moment, her weak body suddenly filled with strength and she hoarsely said, "Mr. Bradley, I'm here!" If Xavier was still alive, then she was dead now, and they would never have a chance to be together in this lifetime. So even if there was only a breath left, she had to strive to stay alive. ying did not expect Ella to suddenly make a sound and quickly stepped forward to cover her mouth, "Shut up, if you dare to speak, I will kill you now." Ella could only emit painful groans without the strength to struggle. Outside the wall, Bradley heard the cry and frantically knocked on the wall, shouting, "Ella, are you inside?" Ella couldn't make a sound, but her strong survival instincts kept stimulating her. She gathered her strength and reached for the needle pack at her waist. Just before her last breath was about to run out, she forcefully stabbed it into One's neck. 'Hiss-' Intense pain crazily surged, causing One to involuntarily cry out.

Bradley, who had his ear pressed against the wall, clearly heard the movement inside and immediately called for Lance, "The person is inside this wall, find the mechanism to open it for me!"

"Yes."

Everything gathered around the wall and started pounding on it, with the sound reverberating inside.

One never expected that the nearly dead Ella would dare to attack her. She pulled out a dagger and ruthlessly stabbed it into her heart.

She viciously plunged the dagger into Ella's flesh, splattering blood and dirtying her ugly face.

However, this was not enough to satisfy One. She pulled out the dagger and stabbed again, her eyes filled with intense hatred, determined to kill Ella.

She even slashed Ella's face with the dagger, gritting her teeth, "I may be ugly now, but soon, you will meet the same fate as me."

One completely lost control, relentlessly attacking Ella until her face was a blur of blood and flesh.

The floor was covered in flowing blood, Ella's wide eyes stared lifelessly, and she collapsed weakly to the ground in convulsions.

"Go to hell!"

As the final blow of the shadow was about to fall, the mechanism was activated. A swift shadow passed by, forcefully kicking her away. Shadow let out a painful scream as she heavily crashed into the wall on the other side, her vital organs damaged upon impact, and she viciously spat out a mouthful of blood as she hit the ground.

Bradley paid no attention to her condition, striding forward to check on Ella. When he saw her destroyed face, his pupils constricted deeply.

"Bradley, Bradley... tell me...Xavier... is he... not dead yet?" Her vision blurred by blood, she couldn't see clearly who was in front of her, but she could still recognize Bradley's voice.

She was fading fast. Having studied medicine alongside Freya for many years, she knew better than anyone how grave her injuries were. Just now, Shadow had intended to kill her, so she had been ruthless.

"Ella, Xavier, he..."

Bradley hesitated, should he confess Everyone to her now that things had come to this point? But before he could speak, Ella's raised hand drooped slowly, even her breath becoming weaker.

Feeling a sense of urgency, Bradley quickly called for Lance, "Immediately send her to the headquarters medical room, the speed must be fast..."

"Yes!"

Lance called two bodyguards to take Ella away, arranged a helicopter in the fastest time possible, and hurried to the headquarters medical room.
