Chapter 88: Be Killed by Children
At Wood's house in the State of New York, Emily waited anxiously.
She had no idea what was happening with her father. He had suddenly collapsed and couldn't get up. Despite consulting the best doctors in the provincial capital, they had all been helpless.
On the brink of despair, Emily remembered a number her father had given her just a few days ago. He had told her that if anything happened to him, she could call this number to reach Doctor Lopez.
In desperation, Emily dialed the number.
But when a young man's voice answered, Emily was confused.
"Shouldn't skilled doctors be older?" she wondered. "Why does he sound so young?"
"Maybe he's Doctor Lopez's disciple," she thought, trying to make sense of it.
With little time to dwell on it, Emily quickly gave her home address and waited at the door, trying to remain calm.
The wait was brief—less than ten minutes.
A young man, around twenty, arrived on a bicycle. He stopped in front of Emily and asked, "Is this Wood's house? Did you call me just now?"
The man was none other than John.
