Two men stood up in unison, signaling their departure.

But before they could take a step, Jay called out to Dale.

"Let the family doctor have a look at you first."

Greg resumed his meal, sitting back down.

Jay instructed Abby to fetch the doctor, and Dr. Smith arrived promptly. "Let me check you over, young master."

Dale nodded in agreement.

After a thorough check-up, Dr. Smith inquired about his condition.

Dale simply complained of pain and difficulty hearing.

No matter what Dr. Smith asked, his response remained the same.

Finally, Dr. Smith suggested, "It's best to go to the hospital for an X-ray. Problems with hearing can be minor or severe, but it's not something to take lightly."
