The doctor checked Andrew's condition by examining the latter's eyes.

Then, he glanced up at Andrew's parents and asked, “How long has he been unconscious?"

"Uh... It's been almost an hour.. Lanny hemmed and hawed, but at the doctor's stern expression, she finally explained, "We don't know when exactly he hurt. He went back to his room after breakfast.

About an hour later, I came to ask him to run an errand, and I found him like this."

The doctor stared at Andrew's parents for a moment longer before turning to Andrew. As he inspected Andrew, he saw a deep teeth mark on Andrew's fingers. Judging from the mark, Andrew was bitten by others.

The doctor was about to question the biting mark when he accidentally caught a glimpse of the hemp rope at the corner of the bed.

"I think he has injured his brain. I can't treat him. You have to take him to a hospital in the city." Keeping his expression blank, the doctor added, “It's best you go now. The injury on his head has to be treated as soon as possible."

"Oh, I see..." Lanny and Marcel both hesitated, staring at each other with matching frowns of worry.

"Is it that serious?"

Take Andrew to the hospital? How much would it cost?

They had just spent tens of thousands of dollars to get Andrew a wife, so they didn't have much savings left.

"He has been unconscious for over an hour. You don't think it's serious?"

Lanny smiled awkwardly.

The doctor offered, “How about I call 911 for you? The ambulance will come and carry him."

"Wait, we need to discuss it."

Marcel and Lanny turned around and whispered for a while. Finally, they decided to do what the doctor said and asked him to call 911.

As the doctor dialed 911, he told Marcel and Lanny, "I'm going back to the clinic. You can wait for the ambulance at home."

As soon as the doctor walked away, Lanny's eyes filled with hatred and she angrily cursed, "That bitch! I have to skin her alive!"

Then, she picked up the broom and stormed toward the sheepfold behind the house, intent on carrying out her threat.

Unbeknownst to her, the doctor hadn't gone far. When he saw Lanny come out of the house with a furious expression on her face, he hid until she passed by him, and then he followed her. He saw Lanny enter the sheepfold and started hitting something angrily. A second later, the sound of someone wailing rent the air.
