---- Chapter 23 Dressed in a hospital gown, Lucy began to wail and throw a huge tantrum. When she saw people stopping to see what was happening, she seized this chance to put ona pity act. "Norman dumped me ages ago! Once he found out I lost the baby, he took all of our money and fled. Who knows where he is now? At the very least, I talked him out of suing you. Otherwise, you might be in prison right now. Just forgive me on account of that..." Carl was her final hope. If he abandoned her too, she would be in dire straits. She wouldn't even be able to afford her medical bills. Among the spectators was a nurse who'd witnessed the conflict between Carl, Norman, and Lucy months ago. "T thought you guys even lodged a police report over what happened," she remarked in puzzlement. "Why are you still together now?" Gossip always spread like wildfire. The other people heard snippets regarding the incident as well. Feeling humiliated, Carl paid no further attention to ---- Lucy. When she grabbed his pants, he kicked her off and made his way toward the exit. Once Lucy saw that Carl was truly going to leave, she used her final move. Pulling out a syringe from her pocket, she held it to her neck and threatened, "If you don't marry me as promised, I'll kill myself here today, and everyone's going to curse you out for causing my death!" She was certain someone as vain as Carl would surely care about his reputation. True enough, he stopped in his tracks, but he was riled up as well. "Hah! If you want to die, go ahead!" Carl roared.

"T knew it! I knew you were still hung up on her!" Lucy wailed. "Do you think you're so good? Well, let me tell you right now. You're nothing but a stupid bastard-" That struck a raw nerve with Carl, who marched up to ---- Lucy and slapped her. She didn't take it lying down, either. She began clawing at his face, and the two screamed their heads off as they fought each other. The fight only ended when she stabbed him in the neck with the syringe she held. Only then did the security guards, who'd taken their own sweet time showing up in the first place, use this opportunity to separate them. While a syringe was threatening enough, a person couldn't be killed just from being stabbed with one. Nevertheless, Carl was a cowardly man. As a result of the pain and the shock, he ended up fainting. Immediately, there was yet another commotion in the emergency room. Moreover, the tabloids caught wind of the sensational fight. It became headline news for several days before interest finally died down.
