Her skin was delicate and pale, with visible bruises on the back of her head from the sticks impact.
After a thorough look, the doctor reported, Theres no bleeding, and it seems the brain hasnt been harmed. Still, to be on the safe side, an X-ray is warranted. It looks to be a minor injury for now.
Nathan, skeptical about calling it minor, would only find solace in the results of an X-ray and a full assessment.
He commanded, Instruct the driver to take us to the hospital.
Lucinda needs a comprehensive check-up.
