Jacob gave Alex a simple bandage and carefully supported him back to Hartwell's family house to rest.
At the doorway, Jacob raised his hand and knocked firmly on the wooden door.
After a short wait for a minute, the door creaked open.
A clear and gentle voice with a touch of surprise, rang out before the door fully opened.
"Brother Alex, you are finally back!"
Standing there was Lucy Hartwell, The daughter of Mr. Hartwell, her face brightening in astonishment at Alex's sudden appearance after a week of disappearance, though her expression quickly shifted the moment she noticed his pale condition of Alex.
Jacob only then spoke briefly.
"He's hurt by a Assassin."
"Ah!"
"Brother Alex, are you okay?"
"How do you get hurt?"
Her eyes widened with alarm. She hurriedly stepped closer, scanning Alex's injuries, her expression clouded with heartache and worry at the sight of his weakened state, she only let go of him when she found no fatal injuries.
"It's fine."
