---- Chapter 204 James turned back warily, watching the car approach. When he saw only one person step out, he let out a breath of relief. Liam walked quickly to the vehicle, treating James as if he were invisible, and immediately took hold of Wendy's hand. He checked her pupils, felt the temperature on her forehead, and carefully examined all the visible injuries on her body. Only then did Liam look at James. "She needs emergency treatment right now. Ineed your help." James frowned. "Here?

I already called an ambulance. It'll arrive in about ten minutes." "She doesn't have even one minute to spare." Liam glanced around. "Use the headlights to light up the inside of the cabin. Lay down something clean. I'm getting the medical kit now." There was urgency in his voice. James, though skeptical, followed his instructions. After carrying Wendy back into the cabin, James went to tie up the two kidnappers , still unsure whether they were dead or alive. "James, cut off all her clothes.

I need to perform CPR and defibrillation." Liam didn't ask-he commanded. For once, James didn't argue. He did as told. ---- Under the bright glare of the headlights, Liam began emergency treatment on the unconscious Wendy. Luckily, he always kept emergency tools and a medical kit in his car. Without them, Wendy might not have survived tonight. More than ten minutes later, Liam checked her pupils and temperature again. "Police will be here in a few minutes. The ambulance is right behind them.

I need to clean her wounds and stabilize her fractures. Get a clean blanket and fresh clothes ready for her." James looked at Wendy, whose face and lips were frighteningly pale, then quickly stepped out and did exactly as instructed. Back inside, Liam was left alone with her. The sight of her battered body made his hands tremble as he cleaned her wounds. The supplies in the kit weren't enough. He had to use the remaining hemostatic meds and gauze on the deepest injuries.

When he injected the antibiotic, the sound of police and ambulance sirens drifted into the room. The two men spoke only about Wendy. Nothing else. James watched her face, not caring about anything else. "Wrap her in the blanket first, then cover her with the jacket. She can't afford to lose any more body heat." ---- James responded with a quiet nod, his hands gentle and careful. Once everything was done and Wendy looked slightly less wrecked, the police and ambulance arrived.

She was carried into the ambulance. James was about to get in when Liam stopped him. "TIL go. I'm the only one who knows exactly what she's been given. What you need to do now is deal with the people who hurt her. Get them to talk and find out why they did this." Only then did James see the fury and coldness in Liam's eyes. He knew that anger was aimed at him. As they were both men, James understood exactly what Liam felt for Wendy. No one who didn't care would go to such lengths.

James' face darkened. "I'm leaving her in your hands for now, because I trust you won't let anything happen to her. As for the rest, don't overthink it." Liam gave them a long look, said nothing, and turned to get into the ambulance. James was left standing there all alone.
