Injury

"Branches," Alex mumbled. "I stumbled."

He replied softly as if he was afraid to be misunderstood.

However, as Anna was looking at the scratches, her instincts screamed.

She had seen many types of injuries and he had a bad feeling about this. Furthermore, it wouldn't be surprising if someone would try to hide their wounds from the Zombies...

Anna stayed silent for a while before she started cleaning the injury. It certainly doesn't show that Alex was infected by the Zombies since the injury seemed just like a normal one on the surface.

However, as Anna looked at her patient, she could tell that Alex's eyes held secrets—fear, perhaps guilt.

She then pressed her fingers against the scratch, watching his reaction. He winced, but it was more than pain—it was something else.

"Branches," he repeated. But his voice doesn't sound convincing.
