Trouble and More Trouble

(Lydia Richmond's POV)

I was so afraid at that moment. I thought I had killed Jake. I moved stealthily towards him with the aim of checking his condition.

Jake wasn't moving. He laid unconscious where he was. I moved in to check his pulse now. I could still feel life in his veins. Now, I knew he had not died already. He was still living and I still had to save him. However, I didn't know how to do this. I knew no herbs or roots that could rescue him from this.

I was directed by impulse to check his head where I had hit him with the piece of wood. I checked and the area wasn't bleeding. However, it was swollen. I wasn't comfortable with this as he could be having an internal injury. I had once read that in those cases, a person's life was at risk as it could cut short the blood flow from the brain. It could also cause excessive blood flow to the brain. I pondered on all these but still without a solution.

Suddenly, I saw Jake began to come out of his consciousness. This was good news
