Chapter 381<\/p>\n
In stark contrast to the scene outside, chaos seemed to rule inside the Hawkins residence.<\/p>\n
Servants were rushing in and out of Garrick\u2019s room, as if dealing with something urgent. Indeed, something major had happened<\/p>\n
A few blood\u2013curdling screams came from Garrick\u2019s room. Gina was nervously pacing back and forth at the door, looking scared and flustered.<\/p>\n
Two figures hurried over. It was Rita and Yulia. They also wore serious expressions. The cries in the room continued, making everyone feel uneasy.<\/p>\n
Gina\u2019s eyes sparkled with relief. She quickly approached. \u201cRita, Yulia, finally, you\u2019re here. There\u2019s not a single person at home who can handle this situation. The holiday isn\u2019t even over, and something happened to Garrick. How are we going to cope like this?\u201d<\/p>\n
Rita looked at her with a seemingly disapproving glance. \u201cWhat\u2019s going on? Why is Garrick suddenly unwell again? Wasn\u2019t he doing well when he just came back from the hospital a few days ago?\u201d<\/p>\n
Gina shook her head. \u201cHe was doing fine the day he returned, even on Christmas. But the next day, he said his hands and feet were a bit sore and he wanted to rest. He slept all the way through to the third day.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut when he woke up, his feet started itching and the pain was unbearable. He asked me to call a doctor. The doctor came over, examined him, and said there were black spots on the bottom of his feet. It looked like they were rotting.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was terrifying. I had no choice but to call you. Dr. Lawrence is still inside, and we don\u2019t know what\u2019s going on. Garrick said his foot\u2019s rotten spot grew and hurt more when he woke up.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rita couldn\u2019t help but knit her brows after hearing this, feeling truly uneasy. She turned to Yulia and said, \u201cYulia, go find Hannia now and tell her about her grandfather\u2019s condition. No matter what, make sure you bring her back.\u201d<\/p>\n
Knowing how serious the situation was, Yulia gave a firm nod and turned to walk to the door.<\/p>\n
Gina felt a wave of relief upon hearing Rita\u2019s order for Yulia to fetch Hannia. Hannia wouldn\u2019t budge for Gina, but she\u2019d surely heed Yulia. Cina hoped to see her daughter today.<\/p>\n
Seeing Yulia leave, Rita immediately headed to Garrick\u2019s room. Inside the room, Garrick was lying on a wooden bed. Two doctors in white coats stood by the bed, alongside a working medical machine. As soon as Rita came in and heard Garrick\u2019s cries of pain, she hurried to the bedside. \u201cDr. Lawrence how is my brother?\u201d<\/p>\n
Rita asked as she glanced at Garrick\u2019s foot on the bed, shocked by what she saw. It was fair to say that his whole foot had turned black. She knew very well that this was a backlash, a consequence after someone dispelled the curse.<\/p>\n
\u201cRita, you\u2019re here. Please try to find a way to save me. If nothing works, go ask Rayburn for help. He\u2019s really good at medicine. I\u2019m truly at my limit. The pain in my foot feels like it stabbing directly into my heart,<\/p>\n
\u201cAt my age. I\u2019ve never suffered much, and now it feels worse than death itself.<\/p>\n
Seeing Carrick was in such a state, Rita felt so sorry for him. She choked up. \u201cDon\u2019t worry. I\u2019ll do everything I can to make sure you\u2019re okay.<\/p>\n
Johnson shook his head and leaned in toward Kita. \u201cMrs. Muller, could I have a word with you in private?\u201d<\/p>\n
Rita nodded and followed Johnson outside. With a slightly serious expression, she said, \u201cGo altead. Tell me what my brother should do next<\/p>\n

Johnson sighed, \u201cHis feet have started to show signs of decay, but we can\u2019t find out the exact cause. However, to prevent the decay from spreading, we need to act fast and amputate below the fight ankle.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rita\u2019s lips trembled slightly when she heard this, but she maintained her composure. \u201cThis decision is too major. We need to consult him personally. Dr. Lawrence, please come back first. We\u2019ll let you know our decision within the next couple of<\/p>\n
days.<\/p>\n
Johnson hesitated, knowing this was something most families would find hard to accept. \u201cAlright, but please decide soon. This can\u2019t be delayed any longer.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rita nodded to show she understood. Upon returning inside, only she and Garrick were left.<\/p>\n
Garrick had taken some painkillers, and now he wasn\u2019t crying out in pain anymore.<\/p>\n
Rita sat down at the bedside. \u201cGarrick, we need to prepare for the worst. It\u2019s obvious that this is a backlash.\u201d<\/p>\n
After these two tormenting days, Garrick had lost much of his rare elderly vigor. He looked at her and asked, \u201cIs there really no solution, Rita? What did the doctor tell you?\u201d<\/p>\n
Rita sighed. \u201cThe day we learned Hannia was freed from the curse, I knew this day might come. The worst\u2013case scenario is that you might have to amputate the foot that\u2019s starting to hurt<\/p>\n
Garrick\u2019s eyes widened in shock as he looked at Rita. He did know about the backlash, but it was hard to believe when it happened to him.<\/p>\n
Considering his feelings, Rita said, \u201cBut it\u2019s still too early to say anything for certain. Let\u2019s talk after Yulia brings Hannia back. Hopefully, Hannia<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-404","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/404","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=404"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
