Chapter: 1036
She entered the restaurant with her bag and went straight to the reserved private room on the second floor.
When Sabrina walked around the corner, her gaze Lifted while ascending the stairs. Suddenly, she saw a person standing at the stairwell's entrance on the second floor. It was indeed who she thought-Galilea!
Wearing a graceful smile, Galilea leaned against the handrail and locked eyes with Sabrina. It was almost as if she had been intentionally waiting for her. “So, I was right after all. It was your car that I saw.”
Sabrina paused momentarily, then resumed her ascent up the stairs.
"What's the matter? Were you standing there expecting me to engage in conversation?"
“Of course not," Galilea replied with a sly grin. A hint of malice flickered in her eyes. “I just want to give you a special gift."
Without warning, she suddenly shoved Sabrina with all her might.
"Argh!"
Sabrina let out a shriek of surprise as she tumbled down the stairs, her body hitting each step with sickening thuds.
She felt a wave of dizziness engulf her.
As she slowly regained consciousness, Sabrina was sprawled on the floor, her head throbbing with pain. The world spun around her, and she struggled to focus her thoughts.
When she opened her eyes, she glanced up the stairs in a daze, but Galilea had gone.
Sabrina groaned as she tried to sit up, feeling a sharp ache in every part of her body.
Her forehead seemed to throb with the most intense pain. Without thinking, she reached up to touch the wound and winced at the sharp pain that shot through her. Glancing down at her fingers, she saw they were stained crimson with blood.
“Miss, are you alright?" A waiter appeared at her side, concern etched on his face. "Please sit down over here. I'll fetch the first-aid kit. Do you need me to call an ambulance?”
As Sabrina tried to stand, a sharp pain shot through her right ankle, causing her to gasp in agony. She glanced at her watch and realized with a sinking feeling that it was almost 7 p.m.
“No, thanks. Do you have any Band-Aids?"
Sabrina didn't want to risk missing her appointment with the victim and was afraid she would leave if she were late.
"Yes, I'll get some for you right away." He hurried off to fetch the first-aid kit.
Sabrina took a tissue from her bag and gently dabbed the blood on her face. She asked the waiter to put two Band-Aids on the wound on her forehead. "Please save the surveillance video for me. I'LL make a copy as soon as I finish my affairs."
The waiter reluctantly left her to go and prepare the video surveillance. Sabrina endured the pain through gritted teeth while holding onto the railing for support as she Limped to the second floor.
