If he is disfigured, it will affect the reputation and future of the Liam family. Wait a little longer, I have already called another ambulance, it will be here soon.”
Before I could object, he carried Zeke and helped Vanessa into the ambulance. The moment the doors closed, I watched the ambulance speed away, the engine noise fading into the distance until it disappeared from sight. Despair and helplessness overwhelmed me like a tidal wave.

He swiftly took out his first-aid kit and cleaned Leo's wound, stopping the bleeding and bandaging it with practiced and steady movements. "The wound is a bit deep and needs to be stitched up at the hospital as soon as possible, but there's no immediate danger to his life," the doctor said, which eased my anxiety a little.
