Just as Winnie was struggling with the situation, shouts suddenly rang out from the distance. "Is there a doctor? Doctor! Is anyone here a doctor?"
They turned to see a middle-aged man running across the street while carrying a small boy in his arms. The man named Nathan Parker seemed to have spotted the clinic's sign and was desperately running toward Yolanda.
"What happened?" Yolanda's face turned serious when she saw the ashen face of the boy in Nathan's arms.
Perhaps it was because of his panic or Yolanda's commanding presence, but Nathan immediately explained things. "I was taking my son to the park when he suddenly collapsed!"
Right then, Dunstan heard the commotion and hurried out of the clinic. After observing the boy's symptoms, Yolanda suspected poisoning.
"Doctor, you're a doctor, right?!" Seeing Dunstan, Nathan turned to him desperately as if finding a lifeline and ignored Yolanda. "Please save my son! I'm begging you!"
"Quick, bring him into the clinic!" Dunstan urged.
"Wait!" Yolanda suddenly stopped Nathan. Pointing to a tiny wound on the boy's arm, she said, "Put him down carefully and don't move him. He's been bitten by a poisonous spider!"
Though spider bites often resembled other insect bites, Yolanda could immediately identify which kind of spider had bitten the boy just from the wound.
