The lifeline is gone; being a man, the doctor couldn't possibly not understand what this means.
But why would the lifeline be gone all of a sudden?
And, hasn't Second Brother been sick lately because of his finger being cut off? He was just saying yesterday that his fever wouldn't go down, so why did he suddenly run to the grove behind today?
His mind was filled with doubts that lingered endlessly, unable to dissipate.
At this moment, the old man from the Gao Family, who had gone to bed earlier, also climbed up from the kang.
Looking at the chattering crowd in his courtyard, it seemed they were discussing something about his second son.
Full of doubts himself, the old man pushed through the crowd and saw the doctor standing in a daze at the doorway.
He walked over and asked, "What's going on, Third Son? Why are all these people in our yard? Also, I heard them seem to be discussing your Second Brother, what happened to him?"
