Chapter 1511
Steven said, âI got this. If I can confirm that Roger let his dog attack Farley on purpose, Iâll find solid proof and make sure he gets what he deserves.â
Jeo brushed him off. âNo need for your help. Iâm gonna show them Iâm not someone they can mess with.â
Hannah was worried, but she knew only Jeo standing up for himself could stop others from bullying him. âAlright, you handle it. After Farleyâs wounds are treated, Iâll take him to get a rabies shot.â
The doctor said, âWeâve already brought the rabies vaccine. Weâll administer it after his wounds are treated. No need to make a trip to the hospital.â
âThank you!â After thanking the doctor, Hannah turned to Steven. âAnd thank you!â
Steven took her hand. âFarley is my little brother too.â
Hannah pulled her hand back, seemingly wanting to argue, but she held her tongue. She knew her place, she couldnât accept help and act high and mighty at the same time.e2
Steven was pleased. He felt, he still had a chance.
After a while, the doctor finished treating Farleyâs wounds. Farleyâs face was pale from the pain, looking pitiful. âHannahâ¦â
Hannah hugged him. âSilly boy, youâre okay now.â
The doctor said, âMs. Hannah, your brotherâs wounds are deep. Weâve dressed them and given him the rabies shot, but still, donât let your guard down. Someone needs to stay with him tonight, and if he shows symptoms like fever, let us know immediately.â
Hearing this, Hannah was anxious. âDoctor, will my brother have any complications?
The doctor said, âNormally, no. But there are exceptions, so tonight is crucial. Donât worry, weâll stay here tonight and will be able to get to him immediately if anything happens/â
Given the limited medical resources in the village, the doctors brought by Steven were definitely more professional. Having them around put Hannah at ease. âI apologize for the trouble.â
Jeo was so heartbroken he couldnât stop wiping his tears. âFarleyâ¦â
Farley said, âDad, donât cry. If Mom knew you were crying, sheâd scold you again.â
Jeo wiped his tears. âYou guys go home first. Iâll handle the rest.â
Hannah was still worried about leaving him alone. âDad, Iâll go with you.â
Jeo said, âNo need, you take Farley home.â
Just as Hannah was about to argue, Steven took her hand. âIâll have someone keep an eye on him. I wonât let your dad be wronged.â
With Stevenâs assurance, Hannah was no longer worried. She tried to help Farley up, but her legs were numb from squatting for so long, and she nearly fell. Steven quickly caught her and anxiously told the doctor, âPlease check Hannahâs legs.â
Hannah said, âIâm fine, my legs are just numb from sitting too long.â
Steven sternly said, âAre you a doctor? How can you be sure youâre fine?â
After being scolded, Hannah didnât argue. She complied as the doctor checked her legs, and only after confirming she was fine did Steven let her go.
He asked again, âCan you walk on your own?â
Hannah nodded, âYes.â
Farley said, âI canât walk.â
Steven helped Farley up from the ground. âAre you sure you canât walk?â
Farley nodded, then gave Steven a pitiful look. The boyâs eyes were so much like Hannahâs, it was as if Steven was seeing Hannahâs pitiful face in him.
