Captivation: Want Nothing But You

Chapter 195 The Pendant

"I found her in a seafood storage room with her left chest stabbed. The knife didn't go in straight and was a little blunt. So it didn't touch her heart. But she lost a lot of blood, and the temperature in the warehouse was below zero centigrade. Plus, her body was filled with wounds..."

Rachel listened intently, her heart heavy with concern. She couldn't believe the extent of the injuries described. "Who did this to her?" she asked, her voice trembling.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Victor's expression was grim. "We don't know yet, but we're investigating. Abby is strong; she’s fighting hard."

Rachel's mind raced. She needed to find out who was behind this attack. "I want to see her," she insisted.

Victor nodded. "She's in the ICU. I'll take you there."

They walked quickly through the hospital corridors, Rachel's heart pounding with each step. When they reached the ICU, Rachel saw Abby lying on the bed, hooked up to various machines. Her face was pale, and her body was covered in bandages.

"Abby," Rachel whispered, tears streaming down her face. "I'm so sorry this happened to you."

Abby's eyes fluttered open, and she managed a weak smile. "Rachel, you're here."

Rachel took her friend's hand gently. "Yes, I'm here. And I'm going to find out who did this to you. I promise."

As Rachel sat by Abby's side, she noticed a small pendant around Abby's neck. It looked familiar. "Abby, where did you get this pendant?"

Abby glanced down at the pendant and then back at Rachel. "It was given to me by someone... someone who said it would protect me."

Rachel frowned, deep in thought. The pendant looked similar to one she had seen before, but she couldn't quite place it. "Do you remember who gave it to you?"

Abby shook her head weakly. "No, it was a long time ago."

Rachel's mind was racing. She had to find out more about this pendant and its significance. It might be a clue to who was behind the attack on Abby.

Victor placed a hand on Rachel's shoulder. "We'll figure this out together," he said reassuringly.

Rachel nodded, grateful for his support. "Thank you, Victor."

As they left the ICU, Rachel's thoughts were consumed with finding the truth. She was determined to uncover the mystery behind the pendant and bring those responsible for Abby's suffering to justice.
