Gabriel suddenly turned around and squinted at her coldly.

The female village doctor instinctively took several steps back. Just as she thought the other person was going to teach her a lesson, Gabriel just put his hands in his pockets and left.

After he walked away, the female village doctor heaved a sigh of relief. She unclenched her tightly clenched fists, and there was already a thick layer of cold sweat on her palm.

She was about to go back to her room when a man rushed in hurriedly. "Is Doctor Yang here?"

The female village doctor turned around and walked towards the yard. When she saw that it was Rong the Butcher from the village, she quickly said, "I'm here. What's happened?"

Rong the Butcher wiped the sweat off his face and said out of breath, "My wife suddenly fainted. Come with me and see what's wrong."

Upon hearing this, the female village doctor frowned deeply.

It was well known that Rong the Butcher's wife had been bought from a human trafficker for 50,000 yuan. As soon as she was sold here, she had tried to run away, but every time Rong the Butcher had chased her back with a pig-killing knife.

As for Rong the Butcher, he had a bad temper and liked to be handsy. Mrs. Rong was always beaten half to death by him.

Therefore, the female village doctor's first reaction was that Mrs. Rong's fainting was caused by Rong the Butcher's violence again.

"Then take me to see her quickly." The village doctor went into the room to get the medical kit and then left in a hurry with Rong the Butcher.

Rong the Butcher's house wasn't far from the female village doctor's. They arrived soon.

At this time, Rong the Butcher was about to go out to slaughter pigs. But because of what had happened to Mrs. Rong, he didn't have the mood to work anymore.

He led the female village doctor into the room and said impatiently, "Hurry up and take a look. Don't let her die."

Upon hearing this, the female village doctor frowned even more. If it weren't for the matter of human life being at stake, she would have turned around and left long ago.

Counting it up, she had come to Rong the Butcher's house three or four times this month.

The female village doctor looked at the woman on the bed. As she had expected, there were bruises all over her body, clearly showing that she had been beaten violently.

She pretended to be ignorant and said, "Tell me how she fainted. Otherwise, I can't treat her."

Upon hearing this, Rong the Butcher hesitated for a moment and obviously didn't dare to say.

"If you don't tell me, find someone else. I can't prescribe the right medicine. I can't afford to take the responsibility if something goes wrong." With that, the female village doctor grabbed the medical kit and was about to leave.

"Come on, don't go!" Rong the Butcher stopped her in a hurry and said timidly, "This is what happened. I just wanted to be intimate with her a while ago. She refused no matter what and even opened her mouth and bit me. I was so angry that I hit her. Who knew she was so vulnerable and fainted."

The female village doctor asked, "Where did you hit her?"

Rong the Butcher pointed to the head.

The female village doctor couldn't hold back her temper anymore and shouted at Rong the Butcher, "You actually hit her on the head. If something really goes wrong, she might become a fool."

Rong the Butcher mumbled, "She's already a bit crazy anyway. Can she get even more stupid?"

Over the years, this woman had never been quiet.

He had spent 50,000 yuan to buy her as a wife, not to treat her like a vase. But this woman, instead of letting him touch her, had always tried to run away. In a fit of anger, he had broken her leg and locked her in the room, not allowing her to go out.

Gradually, she had gone crazy.

But it wasn't completely crazy. Sometimes she was quite lucid, especially when he got close to her, she would instinctively resist.

Rong the Butcher was very angry. He beat her a little every day and gave her a good beating every five days, forcing her to have children. But over the years, this woman hadn't given birth to a single child.

Just now, seeing her lying in bed looking beautiful as she slept, he had been overcome with desire and wanted to be intimate with her before going out to slaughter pigs. But as soon as he got close, she woke up. It was as if she was possessed, scratching and biting him.

How could Rong the Butcher let her act up? He immediately picked her up and gave her a good beating. In his anger, he didn't care and hit her on the head. She couldn't bear it and fainted.

Even now, Rong the Butcher was still a bit scared. If he had really beaten her to death, it would have been difficult to deal with the consequences.

The female village doctor suppressed her anger. As a woman herself, she couldn't stand seeing another woman being bullied.

But at the moment, since human life was at stake, she couldn't just leave in a fit of temper. So she said to Rong the Butcher loudly, "You go out and wait for the news first. I'll take a look at the situation and then decide."

Rong the Butcher snorted, "She's my wife. I'll stay here and keep watch. I can help right away if there's a problem."

Huh, wife...

When he was beating her almost to death, why didn't he think that this was his wife, someone who should be doted on?

The female village doctor thought of Bradley's feelings for Freya again and sighed enviously.

Rong the Butcher refused to leave no matter what. The female village doctor had no choice but to let him sit beside her.

After a simple examination of Mrs. Rong's body, she found that there were several fractures on her body. There wasn't a single piece of uninjured skin all over her body, and her breath was very weak. She was clearly in a coma.

The female village doctor couldn't treat her, so she said to Rong the Butcher, "My medical skills are only good for treating minor illnesses and pains. I can't do the job of setting bones and saving lives. You'd better send Mrs. Rong to the hospital in the town quickly."

Upon hearing this, Rong the Butcher blew up. He immediately grabbed the female village doctor's hand and said, "It takes three or four hours to get to the town from here. And it's so late that the hospital is already closed. Just do me a favor and make her wake up. It doesn't matter if you can't cure her completely. As long as she's still alive."

The female village doctor was irritated by his words and coldly shook off his hand. "She's your wife. How can you say such things? Anyway, I can't save her. Find someone else who's better qualified."

After saying that, she picked up the medical kit and left.

But when she reached the door, she couldn't bear it and said, "I can't save her, but there happened to be a group of people in the village tonight. There's a female doctor among them with good medical skills. She might be able to save Mrs. Rong. But these people seem to have some background, and I'm not sure if they're willing to help."

Rong the Butcher asked, "Where are they?"

"At my house."

The female village doctor didn't waste any more words. If Rong the Butcher had any conscience at all, he would go to find Freya.

But she had provided the solution. Whether Freya was willing to help or not, she couldn't control.

Moreover, Bradley was so seriously injured that Freya probably didn't have the mood to care about other things.

...

Because she was too tired, Freya directly fell asleep.

This sleep was very restless. Nightmares came one after another, and various scenes switched like in a movie, making her emotions rise and fall freely with the dreams.

She dreamed of her mother again. After years of precipitation, her mother's blurred face gradually became clear.

But why did her expression look so sad?

"Mom, what do you want to tell me?" Freya looked at the curve of her mother's mouth and asked eagerly.

"Freya..." Her mother's empty voice came. She stretched out her slender hand and was about to touch her face. But before it touched her skin, she hugged her chest in pain and screamed.
