Christina didn’t bother to ask how he got hurt as she rushed upstairs.
The family doctor was treating Nathaniel’s abdominal wound while the man was in a coma. A thick stench of blood was present in the air inside the bedroom.
It wasn’t until Christina approached Nathaniel that she realized how severe his wounds were.
There was a long gash stretching from his waist to his shoulder blade. The white bed quilt had been drenched in blood. Additionally, there were multiple injuries of varying severity all over his body, but they weren’t lethal.
A chill was sent down Christina’s spine as she watched the family doctor tend to her husband. She felt as though a giant rock was weighing on her chest, causing her to experience a suffocating sense of panic.
After Sebastian had his wounds treated, he rushed over to the bedroom and noticed Christina’s pallid countenance. Swiftly, he suggested, “The stench of blood here is too strong, Mrs. Hadley. It might affect the baby. How about you wait in the neighboring room? I’ll let you know when the doctor is done.”
Knowing that she couldn’t be of any help even if she stuck around, Christina nodded and trudged out of the bedroom.
As she supported herself by pressing a hand on the wall, she took in a deep breath.
Worried, Sebastian asked, “Are you okay?”
She nodded. Moments later, she calmed herself down and turned to Sebastian. He’s also gravely injured, but his wounds aren’t as alarming as Nathaniel’s.
