The man who charged forward with the attack was the younger one. Wilfred had momentarily let his guard down, not expecting such a sudden outburst.

The wooden stick struck him squarely on the back with a dull thud, causing him to grunt in pain.

Karina froze, her mind going blank in shock. She rushed to Wilfred's side, supporting him as best she could. "Dr. Wilfred, are you okay? Why would you take the hit for me?"
