Chapter 1029

After a long while, he finally opened his eyes again.

"Put her down."

At this moment, Mrs. Kaur was barely breathing, more air leaving her than entering.

She lay on the floor, covered in wounds, and soon the floor was stained red.

"Mom! Mom!" Nola rushed over and held her tightly in her arms.

"Don't call an ambulance, call a private doctor," Oakley said, sounding suddenly very tired, and then he went back to his room.

Dariel called the private doctor, and several servants came over to lift Mrs. Kaur onto the sofa.

"Her injuries are all superficial; the whip didn't hit her bones," Dariel said, though he wasn't a medical expert, he knew a bit about whips.

"Nola, don't be too sad. Auntie will be fine soon," Carley said, offering some lukewarm comfort.

Seeing Mrs. Kaur in such a miserable state was indeed satisfying. This woman had committed many evil deeds, harming numerous families and franchisees. Her current fate seemed like divine mercy. It was already good enough that Oakley hadn't killed her.

The private doctor arrived quickly with his medical kit. After hurriedly bandaging Mrs. Kaur's wounds, he examined her body. "Although the injuries are superficial and didn't reach the bones, she will need to stay in bed for about twenty days to recover."

The doctor had seen many injured patients but had never seen someone so severely whipped.

"Will my mom have any lasting effects?" Nola asked nervously.

"No, but some of the more severe wounds may leave ugly scars," the doctor said while writing a prescription. "I'll prescribe some ointment to be applied twice daily. It will help with wound healing. She also needs to take oral antibiotics to prevent infection."

The doctor handed the prescription to Nola. "If there are any issues, call me. The patient shouldn't bathe until the scabs form in about ten days."

Nola thanked the doctor and saw him out.

Carley muttered quietly, "Ten days without a bath? She'll stink."

Dariel knocked on her head lightly. "Why do you care so much? Let's go back."
