Father's Injuries
Father was already being tended to by the time Wu Jian, Wu Meiying, and Hou Jingshu rushed over to the hospital. It wasn’t just Father who had been injured either. There were dozens of people resting in the hallways, in beds, and even in futons that had been pulled out of storage. Most of them had bandages wrapped around their bodies. A few were asleep, but many of them were groaning, too pained to rest. He even saw some people who were missing limbs.
Hou Jingshu paled at the sight, but unlike when she saw the poisoned farm, she remained steadfast.
Wu Jian tried to remain calm as he looked at his injured clansmen, but he was only able to keep outwardly calm. He was a raging torrent on the inside. Seeing his family like this hit really hard. The situation was made worse because he knew there was nothing he could do for them.
What kind of man couldn’t protect his family?
