Chapter 293 Abandoned

Xavier frowned as he quickly bandaged Milly’s injured hand.

His hands trembled slightly, and he clenched his jaw tightly. He had to redo the final knot three times before getting it right.

Milly’s hand looked horrific, with blood, torn flesh, and exposed bones. The infection had already started spreading from the mud.

In Xavier’s experience, this kind of injury needed immediate attention. Delaying treatment could be dangerous.

Suddenly, a loud scream pierced the air. “Ah!”

It was Stephanie’s voice.

Stephanie, who had a bit of a higher perch, ended up rolling down the hill like a discarded toy, ending smack in front of Xavier and Milly.

Xavier couldn’t get to her quick enough; she fell too fast.

Stephanie, what’s going on? he asked, rushing to help her stand.

Stephanie was a mess, looking pale, with her arms scratched up from the tumble and blood on her lips, almost like a rag doll that had seen better days.

“Stephanie, talk to me. Are you okay? Where does it hurt? You’re freaking me out!” Xavier’s voice was filled with worry.

Barely catching her breath, Stephanie whispered. “Xavier, is Milly alright?”

And just like that, Xavier felt his heart drop.

Stephanie, despite everything, was still looking out for others. What about him, though.
