Allen was shocked and confused. Had Martin gone back home without helping Philip out?
Joey could tell from his reaction that Martin had failed them. What a cold-hearted bastard!
Therefore, Allen had to ask several well-built villagers to rescue Philip with the address Joey had given him.
When night fell, Philip came back from the cave. Having spent a day and a night in the cave, Philip finally fell ill. He caught a cold and had a fever. Extremely guilty, Joey stayed and took very good care of him all night.
Allen was jealous, but he knew he had failed Philip this time, so he had to keep his mouth shut
Among people who had survived the wolf attack yesterday, most of them were injured, but none of them died.
Respectively protected by Philip and Marco, Joey and Sarah were frightened, but not injured.
However, John Walter had been bitten by a wolf in his right arm. The wound was so deep that one can see his bone.
Due to their lack of experience in the mountains, his four bodyguards had been so badly injured that none of them could get out of bed.
All other villages at the scene were injured too. Among them, the village head Lewis was the most badly injured, because he was too old to run away fast. A wolf had gouged the eyeball in his left eye out with its claws.
Fortunately, John Walter had brought a lot of good medicine along with him from the city, which practically saved his life.
Sam, the wicked mastermind behind the accident, was secretly gloating over the dying Lewis. He had finally gotten his revenge. As a longtime admirer of the beautiful Cindy, he hated everyone who dared to stand in his way. He thought it was a shame that the wolf hadn’t gorged both Lewis’s eyeballs out.
However, he put on a sad face, like a son who couldn’t bear to see his own father suffer great pain. He waited at Lewis’s bedside and looked after him day and night.
Cindy was quite touched by his gesture. She had always been very indifferent to Sam, but now she started to greet him with smiles.
Sam was very happy with the current situation. He was even more determined to get his hands on Cindy after all these years. It was a shame that John Walter was still in the picture.
