Overnight they took the young boy to the hospital next town and got him admitted. His body was wounded in a very bad state. The doctor informed them that one of his lungs had collapsed when the broken rib punctured it.
So they had to operate on him.
Without a second hesitation, Joo Haolei agreed to proceed with it.
"Does the boy have any preexisting condition?"
"I... I don't know. We just found him in front of our house.
The doctor gave him a complicated look. "He looks underage and there are signs of abuse. We might have to call the cops on this. Just let them know whatever info you guys have on him."
"I'm a cop." Joo Haolei added. He touched his aching heart and took a deep breath to calm down. "Abuse? Sexually?"
"No. just physically. His body does not have traces of sexual abuse. If you want, I can get a rape kit for him." The doctor added.
