A FATHER CAUGHT IN HIS DEEPEST TORMENT

Haitao entered the living room with a sense of purpose, his professional demeanor mingling with a sense of hope, casting a glimmer of light into the otherwise somber room. "Good morning, General, Sister-in-law," Haitao greeted them respectfully, his eyes scanning Amelia with professional concern.

"General, there is no need to be formal with me. This is my duty." Haitao bowed slightly, his keen eyes already examining Amelia from across the room, noting every wince and flinch.

"Amelia, let me have a look at your injury," Dr. Haitao said gently, approaching her with measured steps. He set his bag down with practiced ease and opened it, revealing an array of medical tools meticulously organized. The room seemed to hold its breath as Haitao prepared to examine the wound. His fingers moved with practiced precision, the touch both professional and tender as he removed the thin layer of gauze from Amelia's back, revealing the angry red burns caused by the Piranha Solution.
