Murder flashing in her eyes, Raina Bell tightened the arm she had locked around Sophie Sullivan's neck. Sophie, caught in the chokehold, was pressed firmly to the ground by Raina, her neck constricted by the other woman's arm.
The oxygen she could breathe was getting less and less...A suffocating feeling spread through her...
Her face gradually turned a dark purple. Her gaze shifted to the bed, her eyes suddenly lighting up. With a mixture of surprise and great effort, she gasped out, "Thomas Shannon, are you awake?"
Hearing this, Raina trembled and turned her head to look.
The man on the bed was motionless, completely unaware of what was happening around him.
Seizing the moment Raina was distracted, Sophie rammed her elbow backward forcefully.
Her elbow struck Raina's ribs, causing her to gasp in pain and shrink back.
Sophie lowered her head and bit down hard on Raina's arm.
