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?"

Wilfred straightened up, his expression calm despite the obvious pain. Even now, he had the composure to explain. "It wasn't for you. The attack was meant for me from the start."

He glanced briefly at his back, his gaze darkening. It hurt a lot but he wasn't an ordinary person. As someone who had endured far worse as Pharaoh's former test subject, he was accustomed to such pain. That didn't mean he wasn't angry.

Wilfred turned his icy gaze to the young man who had attacked him, his penetrating eyes enough to make the assailant hesitate for a brief moment.

But it was only a moment.

You and your greedy, heartless hospital deserve to burn!" Karina stepped forward, her voice trembling with indignation. "How can you be so sure it's the hospital's fault? We do everything we can to save lives!"
