The Guardian's Sword

So that's it...

However, tension still lingered in her heart!

Just then, there was a ruckus outside the yard gate. It turned out that many
neighbors had curiously come over to watch.

"Yvonne, what's going on?"

"What are you doing? Why did you let your father stay in the yard when he's so
badly hurt?"

"Yvonne, who are these people? Are they doctors you hired? Why aren't they
wearing white coats?"

Such questions from passersby came one after another.

Usually, Yvonne would probably have explained everything to them, but she was
not in the mood.

A man with a sharp jaw sneered suddenly. "I think they're trying to amputate
Bob's arm. Hehehe... The conditions here are so dirty, yet they're trying to
amputate. They might as well just kill him!"

Hearing this, several people who were usually close to Bob instantly looked
tense. They quickly shouted to Yvonne and asked Yvonne to stop Sean and the
rest.

"Yvonne, what are you doing? Stop them!"

"Your father will die instantly if they operate on him here!"

"Do you want to kill your father?"

Hearing the neighbors’ dissuasion, Yvonne was frustrated. She was running out
of ideas.

Bob's mind was also all over the place. He did not know what to think.

Just then, an equally provocatively dressed woman pushed through the crowd
and stood panting in front of Yvonne and Bob.

"Mom, why are you suddenly home?" Yvonne asked, confused.

"Can I not come home? Several acquaintances told me you brought a doctor to
operate on your father at our house. I'm coming home, of course!"

With that said, Yvonne's mother looked warily at Sean and Zander.

"Who on earth are you? What right do you have to operate on my husband?"
An angry look instantly came over Zander's face at this woman's words.

How dare she question the commander's decision?

How dim-witted!

Zander was about to reprimand the woman, but Sean, who was roasting the
dagger above the flame of the alcohol burner, said, "Zander, don't be impulsive.
She means no harm..."

Zander did not yell after hearing Sean's words.

However, he still said, "Madam, please rest assured that our commander
wouldn't have done the amputation if he was unsure. Don't make things worse
here if you want your husband to survive and lead a normal life."

"But..." Yvonne's mother wanted to say more, but her daughter grabbed her wrist.
"Mom, believe me. I'm sure they can operate on Dad and heal his arm!" Yvonne
said earnestly.

Seeing her daughter's confidence in the two men, Yvonne's mother asked
curiously, "Yvonne, who are they? Are they your..."

“Yvonne instantly blushed when she heard her mother's words.

“Yvonne's mother knew what Yvonne was working as.

Her mother did not stop her daughter from becoming a prostitute and selling her
body because they had no choice. She could not support their family by selling
her body alone.

It was hard enough to live under the pressure of life alone. Face and dignity were
nothing.
