“My wife too. My wife is a worker in a textile factory. One of her fingers was accidentally caught in the textile machine. She still can’t move her finger!”
“My daughter too. When my daughter came home at night, some… Some b*stard… She hasn’t recovered yet… ”
Many people knelt in front of Jagoan, crying. The scene was shocking.
Shania and Uriah stared at Jagoan in shock and disbelief. They could not believe he could be held in such high esteem. After all, the previous commanders-in-chief of the city defense army did not manage to do that!
Not even Mayor Quentin, who ran the city, could be given such high regard!
Jagoan was perplexed as he looked at Jagoan.
Yvonne walked over, looked timidly at Jagoan, and said, “Commander Jagoan, what they said is true. Many people in the slum who are sick or injured can’t afford to go to the hospital for treatment, so we can only stay home. If they’re lucky, they’ll get better after a while, but it‘ll worsen if they’re unlucky…”
Yvonne’s voice trailed off as she reached the end of her speech.
Jagoan turned to look at the young man who was the first to get on his knees and pour out his woes, and he said, “Where is your mother? Take me to her…”
“Yes, yes, yes. I‘ll show you the way!”
The young man was so excited that he quickly got up from the floor and showed Jagoan the way while wiping his tears.
Jagoan kept up with Jagoan, carrying the medical kit. Shania and Uriah were also at his side. Yvonne and her mother followed them.
Besides that, more poor people gathered around and followed behind Jagoan. Hundreds of people had gathered over at some point!
Yvonne’s mother grabbed Yvonne‘s hand in the crowd and whispered, “Tell me the truth. Did you and Commander Jagoan… Did you provide him that service?”
Knowing that Jagoan was the commander-in-chief of the city defense army, Yvonne wanted to sleep with him immediately and get attached to him. However, Jagoan was immune to cajolery and coercion.
