His words sent Vera's mind on another wild trajectory. It was true she had left Brian when he was beginning his career. He had experienced many setbacks, and she thought there was no hope for him.
Brian took advantage of Vera's distraction and jumped forward to knock the knife from her hands whilst simultaneously pulling Diana out of danger.
"Diana, Diana! Are you okay?" Brian shouted.
Diana feebly shook her head. She had taken many violent blows from Vera and was barely conscious.
Brian turned to Vera with a vicious look on his face. "Vera, You'd better pray that Diana is fine. Or else I swear I will kill you."
With that, he picked Diana up and took her out to his car, while Vera sat hopelessly on the ground, watching them leave.
Brian ran several red lights in a row before finally arriving at the hospital.
After a comprehensive medical examination, Diana was taken to a private room, and Brian went off to get the examination result.
