“What’s going on? You stay in the car; I’ll go check it out,” he said while opening the car door.
Winnie ignored him and got out of the vehicle as well.
They both froze in shock when they got closer and saw who it was.
“Mason? What happened to you?” Josiah exclaimed as he knelt beside Mason to examine his injuries.
At that moment, Xavier arrived home and saw the bloody scene outside the garage.
Thinking some kind of accident had taken place, he exited his car and ran up to them as quickly as he could.
“What happened here? Why is Mason covered in blood?”
“I don’t know! I’ll go get the first aid kit!” Winnie replied. Saving Mason’s life was all that she could think about at the moment.
However, Mason reached out and grabbed Winnie by the ankle right as she was about to run off.
He was gripping her ankle with all his might as though his life depended on it.
“Don’t go, Ms. Garland… There’s something I need to tell you. It’s probably too late to save me, so don’t bother wasting your time. Just stay here and listen to what I have to say,” Mason mumbled weakly.
“What are you talking about? We have a doctor and medical supplies here! You mustn’t give up on your life just yet!” Winnie shouted at him before casting Xavier a glance.
Having known her for so long, Xavier knew what she wanted without her saying it.
“You stay here and talk to him while I go get the first aid kit. I’ll be right back,” he said before running off.
“Hurry up! He’s losing a lot of blood! We need to get him to a hospital for a blood transfusion as soon as possible! Winnie and I will carry him into the car!” Josiah shouted at him from behind.
“Got it!” Xavier replied as he continued running into the mansion.
Winnie and Josiah then carried Mason into the minivan parked inside the garage.
It was a lot more spacious inside and had better lighting, which would make treating Mason’s wounds a lot easier.
Despite being used to seeing all sorts of grisly injuries at the hospital, Josiah shuddered when he switched on the lights in the minivan.
Mason’s abdomen was almost entirely covered in wounds of varying depths. There was barely an inch of his skin that wasn’t damaged.
