"I need to get someone to fix that broken streetlight tomorrow."

As Devon watched his granddaughter tending to Owen's wound, he asked, "Is Owen's injury severe?"

Owen quickly responded, "Grandfather, I'm fine, it's just a minor cut."

"It's not deep, but we can't take it lightly. I'll take him to the hospital to get it properly disinfected and dressed."

Cecilia picked up Owen's car keys and helped him to his feet, telling her grandfather, "Grandpa, I'm going to take him to the hospital."

"Have your brother accompany you."

Devon, recalling the recent mugging and the broken streetlight, thought it would be safer if his grandson accompanied them.

Cecilia and Owen wanted to refuse, but they could already hear movement upstairs.

The rest of the Yates family had been awakened.

They found out that Cecilia had been mugged on her way home and Owen, concerned for her safety, had followed her and intervened, getting cut by the mugger's knife in the process. Once they understood the situation, their looks towards Owen softened.

In the end, Hudson accompanied them to the hospital.

By the time they arrived at the hospital, Owen's wound had stopped bleeding.

However, the doctor still cleaned and dressed the wound again.

As they left the hospital, they were stopped by a stranger.


"Are you Mr. Owen?" the stranger politely inquired.

Owen quickly sized him up, determined he didn't know him, and asked coldly, "Who are you?"
