Winona lifted her gaze to see Lenora still untying the knots. A flash of rage filled her eyes as she glared at her viciously. "You shameless wretch! Are you thinking of running away? I'll make sure you pay!"

She picked up the broom by the door and swung it forcefully toward Lenora.

Winona had been working in the fields all year round, her strength surpassing that of some men. The force of her swing was not to be underestimated, Lenora knew better than to take it head-on, so she could. only try to dodge it.

Yet, her feet were still bound by ropes, leaving her no place to escape. She was hit several times, and the force of the hits made her feel as if her skin had been torm.

At that moment, Norman rushed in from outside. Upon seeing the state Fabian was in, he exclaimed loudly, "What on earth are you doing? Hurry up and call for a doctor from the clinic!"

There was no health clinic in the village. However, there was a private health clinic in the neighboring village that was connected to the healthcare system, allowing for insurance reimbursements. It primarily treated minor ailments like colds and fevers, but it was bit of a dist Once Winona collected her thoughts, she discarded the stick she was holding. "What are we going to with her? We can't let the doctor see her like this."

The doctor had also been a university graduate in the past. After returning, he opened a clinic. Winona feared that Lenora would seek help from the doctor.

Norman's eyes flickered with an idea. "Take her to the sheep pen out back and gag her."

Fabian was not inclined to go out and work, spending his days idly at home. Upon deliberation, his decided to get him two sheep to tend to. Unexpectedly, this did not sit well with Fabian. parents

"All right!"

The two of them advanced together, effortlessly restraining Lenora. They re-tied her hands and feet, gagged her with a piece of cloth, and carried her off to the sheep pen.

The Davidson residence's sheep pen was situated behind the house. Further beyond lay a stretch of forest, followed by a wheat field. It was a place not commonly traversed by passersby. Two sheep were tethered in the sheep pen.

As Lenora approached the sheep pen, she was immediately hit by a strong, unpleasant smell. Upon closer inspection, she saw that the ground was completely covered in sheep droppings. Norman tossed Lenora into a corner of the sheep pen, securing her with two thick hemp ropes. One was tied around her ankles, the other around her neck.

Once he was certain that Lenora could not free herself Norman hurried back to the courtyard to tend to Fabian

Upon hearing from Winona that her son had bumped his head and was resting at home, the doctor instructed his wife to look after the clinic while he accompanied Winona to check on her son.

Upon arriving at the Davidson residence, the doctor immediately sensed trouble when he saw that Fabian was injured at the back of his head. He gently pried open Fabian's eyes, shining a flashlight into his pupils. before asking. "How long has he been unconscious?" "Um... Less than an hour... 1-1 suppose..." Winona stuttered. "We aren't exactly sure when. He returned to his room after breakfast. After about an hour, I called him for something, and we found him like this."

The doctor glanced at them before resuming his examination of Fabian. Accidentally, he noticed a deep bite mark on Fabian's finger. Its angle didn't seem like it was self-inflicted.

The doctor casually glanced over, noticing the hemp rope in the corner of the bed.

"I suspect he's suffered a brain injury," the doctor said. "I can't treat it here. You should take him to a city hospital. It's best to go now. Head injuries shouldn't be delayed."

"Oh! Okay..." Fabian's parents exchanged a glance, their hesitation evident. "Is it really that serious?"

A hospital? That's going to cost a lot! Winona and Norman had just spent tens of thousands, leaving them with hardly any savings left.

"He's been unconscious for an hour. Don't you think that's serious?" the doctor questioned.

Winona gave an awkward smile.

The doctor then suggested, "How about I call for an ambulance for you? They can come directly to your house and-

"We need to discuss it first.

After a bout of hushed discussion, Norman and Winona finally decided to follow the doctor's advice and called for an ambulance.

The doctor kindly called for an ambulance before turning to Winona and Norman to say. "I'll be heading back now. You should wait for the ambulance."

As soon as the doctor left, a fierce hatred ignited in Winona's eyes. She cursed angrily, "That b*tch! I swear I'll make her pay!"

She picked up the broom and headed toward the sheep pen at the back.

The doctor hadn't gone far, and he was just outside the courtyard walls. Seeing Winona emerge, he quickly hid himself and followed her. To his surprise, Winona entered the sheep pen and started hitting someone. There's a person hidden inside there! The doctor drew in a sharp breath, hastily pulling out his phone to make a call. Suddenly, the wail of a siren filled the air, growing closer and closer.

He hurriedly ran forward, only to see two police cars parked on the main street, with a few private cars trailing behind them.

The village chief had received the news earlier and had been waiting there, listening to the police

questioning.

Some curious villagers were standing around and watching the drama unfold.

The doctor was unaware of what the police had said, but the village chief hastily waved in dismissal, saying. "That's impossible! How could such a thing happen in our village?"

The doctor had moved a bit closer when he seemed to overhear the mention of human trafficking. Overwhelmed with excitement, he rushed forward, exclaiming, "I know!" The village chief was stumped.

Before the police could say anything, a man in a suit who had just alighted from a private car behind them immediately asked, "What do you know?"

"Dr. Griffin, be mindful-"

The village chief hadn't finished speaking when he caught Zachary's gaze and instinctively fell silent.

Elijah and his crew quickly surrounded the village chicf

Zachary then said, "Go ahead. There's nothing to worry about."

Robert Griffin then recounted his recent discovery.

Zachary's heart felt as if it had been brutally hammered when he heard that the Davidson family had confined someone in the sheep pen. His large hands clenched tightly, his knuckles cracking audibly. His body exuded a chilling aura, and his pupils abruptly contracted. His was so intense it looked as if he could devour someone whole.

The police captain hastily said, "Lead the way."

Robert then led them to the Davidson residence, heading straight toward the sheep pen at the back.

Many of the onlooking villagers also followed along.

Drawing closer, the sharp scolding of Winona could be heard, along with the thudding sounds of a stick hitting something. "You b*tch! I'll beat you to death! I'll kill you! You thought you could run, didn't you? You thought you could harm my son and get away with it! If anythin Lenora curled up and whimpered.

Winona was about to continue when suddenly someone grabbed her wrist.

She paused for a moment, turning around to replace a man who had seemingly appeared out of nowhere standing behind her. He was dressed in a pristine suit, a sight that was completely out of place amidst the grimy sheep pen.

"You-

The moment Winona began to speak, she was abruptly interrupted by a kick to her stomach from Zachary, sending her flying several meters away. The broom she was holding was flung out of her grasp.

Zachary looked down to see Lenora huddled in the comer, her borly trembling. Her clothes were covered in grime, and her hands, feet, and neck were bound by thick hemp ropes, almost as thick as her wrists.

At that moment, he was rendered speechless. His eyes abruptly brimmed with a rim of red, indicating his emotional turmoil. He frantically undid the ropes that bound Lenora, lifting her and holding her close, clutching her tightly to his chest. D He noticed that the moment he touched her, her trembling intensified.

"Don't be scared, Nora. It's me. I've arrived late." Zachary's voice was hoarse, suppressing the sourness in

his throat.

A chill ran through Lenora's body when she heard the familiar voice.

She could hardly believe it. Cautiously lifting her gaze, she peered at the man through her disheveled hair.

When she saw the face she had longed for, her tears instantly overflowed from her eyes She collapsed onto Zachary's shoulder and sobbed, "Why did you take so long to come!"
