Benjamin took his phone and looked at the screen.

The call was from Altney.

He frowned slightly before answering it.

An old voice was heard. "I'm looking for the Wonder Doctor."

Is that Paul Murphy? Benjamin recognized the voice.

He shot a glance at Emmeline and said, "The Wonder Doctor isn't taking any appointments now. You can tell me if you need anything."

"It's my son, Flynn," Paul said with a sob. "He suffered extensive brain damage, and he's now paralyzed. I hope the Wonder Doctor can save him!"

Flynn is paralyzed? Benjamin was surprised to hear that. "I'll convey your message to the Wonder Doctor. You can wait for my call."

Benjamin ended the call.

"Who's looking for me?" Emmeline perked up and asked.

"It's Paul Murphy," Benjamin replied. "Flynn is paralyzed."

Emmeline was surprised. "What happened? He was fine not long ago."

"Evelyn hired some people to abduct him," Abel said. "They beat him up pretty badly."

"He has a hole in the back of his head, and he lost a lot of blood," Waylon said.
