Avery chews her lip and stares at Evan. Every step he takes makes her heart thud nervously in her chest. Though her vision is blurry with tears, she looks him in the eyes, silently begging him to stop. He shakes his head slightly and continues walking forward.
Suddenly the patient pushes Avery. She stumbles forward and falls to the floor. She scrambles onto her back and turns around in time to see the man put the knife on Evan's neck.
"Mrs. Howel, are you all right?" Robert asks, helping her to her feet.
She shrugs his hands off her and tries to run to Evan, but he grabs her by the wrist. She struggles, and a bodyguard wraps his arms around her waist. She kicks and squirms, but he effortlessly lifts her off the ground.
"Please calm down, Mrs. Howel," Robert whispers. "You don't want to upset the patient, do you?"
