The next moment, Nikki picked up a mug of draft beer, tilted her head back and prepared to chug it down.
Kendrick sprang up like a madman, rushing to her side and snatching the glass from her hands and scolded her, "You're allergic to alcohol! Drinking it will kill you!" he yelled.
Nikki glared at him angrily, biting her lip with a sultry expression and said, "My fiancé is right here. Is it your place to stop me?"
With that, Nikki picked up the glass again to drink. Kendrick, truly panicking, grabbed the glass and downed it himself. The next second, Kendrick coughed violently and spat out a mouthful of blood.
This shocked everyone in the room. Tristan cursed aloud, "Damn, Kendrick! Are you for real? Spitting blood just to stop Nikki from drinking? Should we take you to the hospital?"
"It's nothing. I won't die." Kendrick wiped his lips forcefully, his eyes blazing as he stared at Nikki. "If you keep hurting yourself, I'll trade my life for yours!"
Moved, Nikki flung herself into Kendrick's arms right in front of me, crying pitifully, "Why does it matter how good you are to me? I'm about to marry Elliot!"
"It's useful! You can break off your engagement with him right now! I'll marry you!" Kendrick's eyes were bloodshot with excitement and he didn't even bother to wipe the blood at the corner of his mouth.
I couldn't bear to watch anymore. I got up and walked outside to get some air. The private room was on the second floor of the bar, with a small door leading to an outdoor terrace.
Standing on the terrace, I looked down at the dazzling streetlights, feeling momentarily lost. As I was in a daze, a figure suddenly charged out of the bar and slammed into me. It was Nikki.
"Maya, you wretched woman! Why does Kendrick care so much about you?" she shouted.
Startled, I instinctively stepped aside. Nikki screamed and fell straight down the stairs.
Hearing the commotion, Kendrick rushed out. When he saw Nikki lying on the ground, her condition unknown, he roared at me, "Maya, you murderer! I won't let you off!"
Ignoring me, he ran downstairs to save Nikki. By the time Nikki woke up in the hospital, I was still processing what had happened.
Kendrick, however, slapped me across the face, "You caused Nikki to break both her legs! You must compensate her!"
