Odyssey Of Survival

Chapter 6 Crippled Kid

The doctors hovered over Nate, their faces etched with unease as they continued examining his spine. Dr. Aaron Pierce, the younger of the three, pointed at the exposed tissues around the injury."Look at this," Aaron said, his voice low. "The tissues… they're trying to regenerate but keep failing. It's like they start to heal, then collapse all over again."

Dr. Evelyn Hart, the woman, shook her head, her brows furrowed. "That's not how the human body works. Tissue doesn't behave like this."

"It's insane," Aaron muttered, running a hand through his hair. "But maybe… we should push his spine back in. See if it triggers proper regeneration."

"What?" Evelyn snapped, her voice rising in alarm. "This is madness, Aaron! You can't just shove someone's spinal cord back in and hope for the best. That's not medicine—that's barbaric."

Dr. Richard Cole, the middle-aged leader of the group, sighed heavily and stepped forward. "It's unorthodox, yes. But look at him. His body's already breaking the rules of biology. If we don't act, he'll lose his chance to recover completely—or worse."

Evelyn frowned but didn't argue further. Richard knelt beside Nate, placing a firm hand on his shoulder.

"This is going to hurt," Richard said, his tone steady.

Nate's wide eyes filled with fear, but he nodded. "Just… do it," he whispered.

Richard motioned to Evelyn, who hesitated briefly before running her fingers along Nate's spine,

"Enough," Ryder said firmly, his voice carrying an air of authority. "Nate, why are you here?"

Nate glanced at the man one last time before turning to Ryder. "I know how to get us off this island."

The crowd fell silent, all eyes on Nate as his words hung in the air like a lifeline.
