Game Over No Second Chances novel Chapter 293

Cole let out a sharp cry and jumped off the couch, clutching his bleeding thigh in shock. His face twisted with disbelief as he stared at Serena.

"Serena, why…"

The bloody scissors fell from Serena's hand, and she quickly scrambled to her feet. Before she could escape, Calvin's voice echoed from the bed.

"Serena?"

"Grandpa!" Serena jumped, her voice trembling with sudden panic.

Calvin had opened his eyes halfway, groggily staring in their direction. "I thought I heard a scream. Is that…"

He couldn't take any stress. If he found out what Cole had just done to her…

That couldn't happen. Calvin was important to Hugh. She wouldn't let anything happen to him.

Suppressing the nausea rising in her stomach, she stood in front of Cole and forced a calm expression.

"Cole knelt by your bed to apologize. His leg went numb. When I told him to stand, he bumped into something. Hugh and I have already talked to Cole. He knows he was wrong. As for the matter with the Arnold family, Hugh is already taking care of it. You just focus on getting better."

Serena walked slowly toward the bed, offering one reassurance after another to calm Calvin's heart.

Calvin's bleary eyes shifted, eventually settling on her with a warm gaze. "The Larson family is going through a tough time. Thank you, Serena…"

"We're family," she replied with a gentle smile.

But as soon as she tucked in the blanket, she quickly withdrew her hand to conceal the specks of red on her fingers.

"I'm warning you. If you make Grandpa sick again or do anything else to harm me, I won't hesitate to stab you next time. And just so you know, self-defense is perfectly legal."

She took several steps back, unwilling to be anywhere near him. With a final glare, she turned and left to find a doctor, instructing them to keep a close eye on Calvin.

She didn't want to be alone with Cole any longer.

As Serena left the hospital, the cold wind whipped around her. It wasn't until then that she realized she was covered in a light sweat from the fear.

Instinctively, she pulled Hugh's coat tighter around her shoulders, seeking the warmth it carried.

Just then, her phone rang, and Hugh's voice came through the line. "How's Grandpa doing?"
