Chapter 812 Wasted Effort
Benjamin took his phone and looked at the screen.
The call was from Altney.
He frowned slightly before answering it.
An old voice was heard. “I’m looking for the Wonder Doctor.”
Is that Paul Murphy? Benjamin recognized the voice.
He shot a glance at Emmeline and said, “The Wonder Doctor isn’t taking any appointments now. You can tell me if you need anything.”
“It’s my son, Flynn,” Paul said with a sob. “He suffered extensive brain damage, and he’s now paralyzed. I hope the Wonder Doctor can save him!”
Flynn is paralyzed? Benjamin was surprised to hear that. “I’ll convey your message to the Wonder Doctor. You can wait for my call.”
Benjamin ended the call.
“Who’s looking for me?” Emmeline perked up and asked.
“It’s Paul Murphy,” Benjamin replied. “Flynn is paralyzed.”
Emmeline was surprised. “What happened? He was fine not long ago.”
“Evelyn hired some people to abduct him,” Abel said. “They beat him up pretty badly.”
“He has a hole in the back of his head, and he lost a lot of blood,” Waylon said.
“You know about it too, Waylon?” Emmeline was surprised.
“Flynn would be dead if not for Waylon,” Benjamin said.
“What happened?” Emmeline was confused.
She was knocked out the day she was rescued, so she did not hear any news about Flynn.
Waylon briefly told her what happened.
“I see,” Emmeline said. “Poor Flynn. I think I should treat him as soon as I can see again.”
“I’d advise you to think twice,” Waylon said. “I barely managed to keep him alive. His situation is very precarious, and he might die at any time. I don’t think you should take the risk. What if his father blames his death on you?”
Emmeline had no reply.
“I agree,” Abel said. “We shouldn’t meddle with Murphy family matters.”

At first, he wanted Flynn to recover so Flynn would tell the truth about the incident. However, Waylon had reminded him of the possibility that Flynn would never recover.
The Murphy family would resent him. It was already evident from Edmond’s attitude earlier.
“That’s right,” Benjamin said. “We should stay away from the Murphy family matters.”
Emmeline considered their opinions before nodding and saying, “Alright then, we’ll forget about it.”
Benjamin called Paul and declined the appointment.
In the meantime, Kendra was done boiling the willow tree branches, and the water had cooled.
Abel took some gauze and began to wash Emmeline’s eyes.
It was painful, but just like Waylon said, the pain lessened once the cataracts grew thinner.
She could withstand that level of pain.
After washing for some time, her eyes turned bloodshot, and Waylon told Abel to stop.
Abel wiped Emmeline’s face with a towel, picked her up, and placed her on the sofa.
The three men surrounded her and waited anxiously. Kendra was anxious too.
They wondered if Emmeline was able to see again.
Emmeline closed her eyes and rested for fifteen minutes until the burning sensation in her eyes subsided.
She carefully lifted her eyelids.
In front of her, she could vaguely see three figures.
“Ah!” Emmeline exclaimed.
She quickly recognized who those figures were.
She reached out and patted the first head. “This is Waylon!”
She touched the next one and said, “This is Benjamin.”
She hugged the third and said, “And this is Abel!”
“Wow! This is amazing!‘ the three men exclaimed.
“And this is Kendra!” Emmeline sat up and said to Kendra. “Did I get it right?”
Kendra was some distance away, and she was a blur to Emmeline.
“Where’s Kendra? She must’ve grown plumper!” Emmeline said.
Kendra cried tears of joy. She went over and held Emmeline’s hands. “Ms. Louise! You can finally see!”
“I can see,” Emmeline said with a smile. “It’s not very clear yet, but I don’t think I’d have any problems

bringing myself around.”
Abel scratched the back of his head, feeling somewhat disappointed.
If Emmeline could walk by herself, she would not need him to carry her.
