Chapter 123 His Leg Injury
Finished
On the surface, Dominic’s leg didn’t look too bad. But Jean noticed a dark, obvious bloodstain on the fabric of his pants.
She frowned slightly, her voice lowering. “You hurt your leg?”
Dominic’s thin lips pressed together. His expression stayed calm, but there was a tension beneath it. He slowly lifted his eyes, his voice still raspy and low. “A little.”
“A little?” Jean’s frown deepened. “You don’t think that’s serious? Does it hurt?”
Dominic shook his head. “It did at first. Not so much anymore…”
Jean didn’t bother arguing. She reached out to lift the leg of his pants-

They crash–landed. And maybe by some miracle, everyone survived. It was nothing short of extraordinary.
The plane hadn’t broken apart on impact, and that was the only reason they’d made it.
But–while Dominic had survived, his leg had been trapped beneath something heavy from the wreckage. The pain, the pressure, the stiffness–it all hit him at once.
Everyone had tried to help, to pull him free, but nothing worked.
Then the fire started. Flames began to spread, putting Dominic’s life in danger… In the end, it was Bryson–he somehow found a hammer and started breaking the heavy object apart piece by piece.

Some sharp object must’ve cut his leg as they pulled it free–it had bled heavily. And the area that had been trapped? It had already lost all feeling.
