章 182: MHS - Chapter 180
Blood was all over Benjamin's clothes. The splash of red drops in his white shirt looked more or less like the vision he had before.
Will's breaths became heavy and loud while he was standing behind Benjamin, yet his eyes were scanning if Benjamin was hurt. Seeing it was just the blood stains, the pain that came from his own body started to make itself notice.
The figures that were becoming blurry with every second reminded him of how he was stabbed right below his chest.
The attack was straight going for his heart, but he was able to deflect it to land below his chest, but the result was more or less the same.
Will turned around and fell onto Benjamin's chest.
"Will, no! Will! Will!" Benjamin's words became louder and worse with every second. Will could not mutter even a single word or reply to Benjamin's words.
He slowly looked down to see the knife that was soaked in the pool of blood, while the vital fluid just kept gushing out with no end. He raised his head to look at the guy who stabbed him. Batting his eyelashes slowly, trying to stay alive, he looked at who the guy was.
Since the facial features were familiar, Will's heart grew heavier. It was Matthew Collins.
Matthew Collins was the chairman of MCA. His agency had gone down due to how he had tried to spread rumours about Will and DTA. It had backfired in the end and his company had gone down in a loss.
He had never expected to meet Matthew like this again. There was a crazy smile plastered on his face like he was waiting for this moment for a long time.
As soon as he stabbed Will, the bodyguards he had bought with himself detained him as people started screaming seeing such a sight before them.
"Will!"
"NO NO NO NO!"
Jeffery and Amanda yelled across the room and came running towards Will who was being supported by Benjamin. His legs were completely unconscious and were on the floor, while his eyes were barely open. Will's breaths were unsteady and slower than usual while the knife still was inside him.
"What the fuck!" Jeffery yelled once again and started calling an ambulance.
"Will, don't close your eyes. Help is coming!" Amanda knelt down next to him.
But her words had no effect.
Slowly, Amanda's voice became distant, and everything kept appearing as blurry as ever to Will.
Although he tried to move his arms, they felt extra heavy, almost as if someone was holding them tight down the floor. He even had trouble breathing and his mind was foggy.
Will's consciousness started to fade away slowly.

"Also, the forecast department mentioned how the weather has been unusual just during the mornings for the past couple of days…"
A female reporter was reading out the weather news during a live broadcast when she suddenly got some new information on her earpiece. Her eyes widened a bit as she quickly started informing the viewers about it.
"I'm sorry, but a piece of breaking news just got reported. Just now, famous filmmaker Will Evans, who was attending the party of Ashton Banasiewicz, The CEO of Allen pictures, had been stabbed. He was taken in an ambulance to the hospital right away. We have our on-location reporter Mark Jason just outside the City hospital. Mark, are you there?"
The female reporter asked in her earpiece and a male voice quickly responded as the display changed to a brown-haired guy standing outside a hospital.
"Yes, Ellena. Will Evans has just reached the hospital. It has been reported that the cops arrested the attacker right away, who got caught by Will's bodyguards. Also, some celebrities are going to be interrogated according to our sources of information. The hotel where the party was happening is sealed from entering, and the cops are still investigating the place. Also, just now, a lot of prominent employees of Dream Vision including CEO Amanda and producer Jeffry had entered the hospital alongside Benjamin Charles, who is one of the closest people to Will Evans. We just saw Will Evans's girlfriend, June Roberts, rushing to the hospital too."
After that, the reporter glanced towards other paparazzi and reporters who had started crowding the hospital and said.
"The situation is fresh and we will bring you more as we learn it. For now reporting live, Mark Jason for TeleMedia News."

Just like how the reporter said, June was one of the worried people who rushed in as quickly as she heard what happened at the party. Thousands of thoughts rushed to her mind when she first heard the news from Benjamin.
But it all went blank as she hurried her way to the hospital.
"Will Evans?"
"Relationship with you and-"
"She is someone I know."
Benjamin, who was in front of the reception signing things in for Will, saw June as soon as she came inside the hospital.
They both walked in and stood in the little corridor that was in front of the emergency room.
"What exactly happened?" June asked. She looked worried and terrified. Will was tense before going to the part but she had never thought that something like this was going to happen.
Looking at Benjamin, she wanted him to start talking so that she could clearly understand what happened at the party.
Benjamin's t-shirt looked bloodshot. There were blood stains everywhere and he did not look to be in his best shape.
Was it why Will was worried? How did Will know it? Such questions kept flooding in her mind with no end. Will's face, when he was looking in the mirror before the party, kept playing in front of her eyes over and over.
"Can you please tell me?" June asked Benjamin again.
"He took the stab for me. He saved my life, June. But now, he is inside that emergency ward, fighting for life and trying to avoid death. The doctors are trying their best and we could just wait."
Tears pooled in Benjamin's eyes, and June noticed it. She patted Benjamin's shoulder knowing he was blaming it all on himself.
"Pray he wakes up soon." June said.
June was trying not to tear herself up. Ever since Will walked out from the house, uneasiness covered her insides and she kept feeling uncomfortable for no good reason. How Will left the house kept bothering her from time to time.
After Benjamin had called her about Will being in the hospital, she almost lost it. Without wanting to worsen the situation, she gathered herself up and drove to the hospital.
Her phone kept ringing over and over from different people, wanting to know if the news about Will was true. Some of them were unknown numbers but some were well known. Nevertheless, at one point during the short drive, she switched it off.
Benjamin frowned and seated himself in one of the chairs outside the emergency room.
With silent muffles and heavy breaths, it took almost twenty minutes for Benjamin to stop thinking that it all was his fault. His hands were still shaking. He raised his head from his hands to look at June who was staring at the Emergency room door.
"Did you know who did it?" June asked after seeing Benjamin relax.
"Matthew Collins. He came with brutal anger in his eyes, I couldn't even believe what the hell happened. Will just kept losing blood." Benjamin said and sucked a huge breath trying to calm himself down.
"Will was uneasy when he left for the party. He told me that he felt like something bad was going to happen. That's why, he told me not to come and got bodyguards." June said with a frown.
"I don't know. It's just…" Benjamin muttered under his breath and bit his lips.
An awkward silence took over as both of them just sat in silence. Nurses and doctors kept coming and going out of the room. Equipment was often carried inside and everyone was tense. Including June and Benjamin who kept just staring at everything that was happening in front of them.
"Where is Matthew now? The police took him?" June questioned after a while.
Benjamin nodded and replied, "The bodyguards that Will brought with him took Matthew down right after the incident. It Made things easy for the police, he is under custody."
June nodded and tangled his hands in front of her chest. Every passing moment felt heavy for her.
At that moment, a doctor came out and looked from right to left; at June and Benjamin. He was a tall, bald man.
"How is he now?" June questioned.
"When will he wake up?" Benjamin asked at the same time.
"The stab was kinda deep. He is still unconscious. It is impossible to estimate when he would wake up, keep praying. He needs them now," He said and walked away with a slight smile.
A few minutes after that, Amanda and Jeffrey came out from a corner. It seemed like Amanda was handling the reporters, and Jeffery was talking to the cops.
Amanda looked so out of place, with her hair messy along with everything else. And Jeffery simply looked as if someone robbed him with a few slaps in his face.
"H-How is he?" Amanda asked, breathing heavily for how they came running.
"Doctor said a while ago that they can't estimate a time when Will would wake up," Benjamin said. "How did the things with the cops go?"
As soon as the ambulance was called, the cops came within a few seconds to where the location of the situation. Benjamin had to leave Amanda and Jeffrey behind to answer their questions about what happened and give an insight into the crime.
"That fucker is in custody. Everyone is still shocked about what happened, and we will know more details in a few hours."
Jeffery said with a frown and glanced at the emergency room. In his heart, he could just pray for Will.
