“How did you manage to save my life?”
“Oh, that was nothing. You were just unconscious when I found you. I thought you were dead.”
He looked at her. She was about 18, very cute and innocent looking. She was wearing a vest and shorts.
At this point, she showed him the wound on her leg. It was very deep, bleeding profusely and had already swollen up.
“How did you get this wound?”
“I was playing with my friends when I saw this strange man approaching us. He was limping badly and looked like he was in pain. I thought it was strange, so I followed him. But he saw me and pushed me down. I think I hit my head. I was unconscious for a bit and when I woke up he was stabbing me with a knife.” The poor girl was crying as she told him this.
“It’s ok. It’s not your fault. I’ll take you to the hospital and you’ll be alright. You’re really brave.”
“Thanks.”
“What’s your name?”
“Linda.”
“My name is Bruce, Bruce Horton.”
“Nice to meet you, Bruce.”
When they reached the hospital, he rushed Linda into the emergency room. The doctor was very surprised to see him.
