Lysander crouched down in front of Josiah, taking hold of his right calf and giving it a brief examination.

“I don’t think there are any fractures. It’s just a sprain.”

Lysander said, “However, orthopedics isn’t my strong suit. We should let a specialist handle it.”

Carol asked, “Mrs. Guerra, do you mean to say, we should arrange it here?”

Lysander turned to Josiah and asked, “It’s going to hurt a lot, can you handle it?”

Josiah casually rolled up his pant leg, chuckling. “I’ve endured countless injuries, big and small, in the past. This is just a minor one.

Both individuals had agreed, leaving Carol with little else to say. Thus, she subtly signaled the doctor she had brought along to attend to Josiah.

The doctor, a middle–aged man, expressed surprise upon overhearing their conversation. So, Mrs. Guerra is also a doctor?”

Lysander nodded. “Obstetrics and Gynecology, undergraduate clinical medicine.”

“Have you worked in clinical medicine before? Then you should be able to handle this kind of sprain.”

Lysander felt somewhat embarrassed.

Back when she was in clinical medicine, she was indeed capable.

However, after spending a long time in the obstetrics and gynecology department, her strength was not as great as it had once been.

Moreover, Josiah’s legs were long, she truly felt like her spirit was willing but her body was weak.

Josiah assumed that she was still not over her internal struggles and was avoiding any potential misunderstandings Therefore, he took the initiative and said to the doctor, “You should do it.”

Carol quickly interjected, “Thank you for your trouble, Doctor.”

The doctor simply smiled, refrained from commenting, and began tending to Josiah’s legs.

Throughout the entire bone–setting process, Josiah hadn’t uttered a single word, but his forehead was drenched with cold sweat.

The doctor, being quite exhausted, mused, “No wonder Mrs. Guerra didn’t take this on. This is indeed a task a female doctor cannot handle, even I am having a hard time with it.”

Carol handed over a tissue at just the right moment. “Doctor, please wipe your sweat. I’ll take you over

there to rest,”

“But the wound hasn’t been treated yet…

Josiah found himself perched on a large rock by the road, his right pant leg rolled up to his knee. Numerous wounds adorned his calf and arm.

He lifted his head, giving a dry laugh. “Why did you send the doctor away, Carol? Never mind, hospital in town later…”

“The wound had been soaked in water. It needs to be treated as soon as possible to prevent infection.”

Lysander retrieved some saline solution and hydrogen peroxide from the medical kit brought by the doctor, along with cotton swabs and bandages.

Then, she crouched down to tend to his wounds once more.

Lysander first used tweezers to extract the small stones and leaves from Josiah’s wound, then rinsed it with saline solution. Then, she gently dabbed it with a cotton ball soaked in hydrogen peroxide to disinfect, ensuring her movements were as delicate as possible.

“Does it hurt?”

Josiah was somewhat taken aback, biting his teeth, he replied, “It’s fine.”

“The wound is quite deep, so I’ll be exerting some force, otherwise the disinfection won’t be thorough.”

“All right.”

After tending to the most severe wound on his lower leg, Lysander’s gaze fell on his forearm.

The injury on his arm wasn’t as severe as the one on the lower leg, but still….

The scar from the burn sustained in the fire still lingered.

The wound was inflicted right on the pre–existing scar – it was a case of adding salt to the wound.

And it was all because of her.

Lysander sighed softly.

Josiah asked, “What’s wrong? Tired? Stop what you’re doing. I’ll head back to the clinic later and let the nurse dress it.”

“Don’t move.”

–

„Okay.”

Carol wasn’t mistaken, Josiah did listen to her.

He was extremely obedient.

Once the wound was finally taken care of, Lysander stood up, tidying up the medical supplies she had just

used.

Once the police noticed that their injuries had been taken care of, they casually strolled over to routinely inquire about the details of the previous night’s events.

hired by the villagers, trying to make an example of the situation. My injuries were from the fight. Eventually, we ended up near a pond, it was a good chance to escape, so I jumped in and swam away.”

“No wonder the lotus flowers have been stripped bare. Is this also a result of your struggle?”

The police attempted to recreate the exact circumstances at the time from the notes.

“Yes,” Josiah admitted. “After I jumped into the water, a few people followed suit. But it was too dark at the time, they couldn’t find me.”

The officer taking the statement stifled a twitch at the corner of his mouth. After confirming some details and features of the gang leader, he bid farewell. “You should get some rest. We’ll be on our way. If there are any updates on the case, we’ll call you immediately.”

If the sole purpose was to investigate these hooligans, their identities were already crystal clear. It seemed like there was no need for such strenuous effort.

After the police had left, both Lysander and Carol simultaneously turned to Josiah, their expressions revealing they had something to say, yet was hesitant to voice it.

Josiah detected an unusual aura and, furrowing his brows, he asked, “Did something else happen while I was away?”

Carol paused for a moment before she replied, “Mr. Guerra, while the police were searching for you, they had asked Rhizone to swim through the depths of the pond, and they found something…”

Josiah grew even more puzzled. “What thing?”

“A corpse…

The expression on Josiah’s face froze in an instant, disbelief apparent de confirmed, “So it’s true… The

Lanister family had the audacity to commit murder?!”

Lysander sighed, nodding her head. “The coroner performed a preliminary autopsy. The death appears to have occurred about two to three months ago

Carol added, “Most importantly, they have always operated under the banner of Guerra Group. So now, everyone in the village believes that the thugs were hired by Guerra Group, and that the murder was also committed by us.”

The expression on Josiah’s face turned grim.

Carol asked, “Mr. Guerra, what should we do now?”

After a moment of thought, Josiah said, “Regardless, we must first identify the deceased and confirm the murderer. Human lives are of utmost importance, everything else can be discussed later.”

“All right.” Carol added, “Also, the refrigerator has already been delivered to the health center. However, it might take a bit more time to arrange things for the volunteer teachers. Unless you have anything else, I’ll bring them back to settle work matters.”

She planned to excuse herself, leaving them some private space to interact.

Josiali gave a slight nod, offering a few words of caution about keeping an eye on the actions of the Lanister family and certain individuals within the company.

Carol, along with the people who had come with her, escorted Lysander and Josiah back to the health center. They also instructed the driver to move Josiah’s car, which was parked by the pond, back to the village entrance. Only then did they set off back to Harborbrook.

Upon learning that Josiah had safely returned, Blaine, Blaine, alongside Nilou and Rhizone warmly expressed their concern for him.

As Blaine spoke, he rubbed the corner of his eyes. “Mr. Guerra, it’s such a relief that you’re okay. You have no idea how worried Dr. Thorne was when you disappeared. She lost her appetite, looking so distressed that she was on the verge of tears.”
