Zander yelled and stood in front of Sean to protect him.
However, those who rushed in did not stop until they reached him, and they knelt in front of Sean one by one.
"Commander Lennon, will you please help us too? My 70-year-old mother broke her ankle digging for vegetables three months ago and is still lying in bed!"
"My wife too. My wife is a worker in a textile factory. One of her fingers was accidentally caught in the textile machine. She still can't move her finger!"
"My daughter too. When my daughter came home at night, some... some b*stard... She hasn't recovered yet..."
Many people knelt in front of Sean, crying. The scene was shocking.
Shania and Uriah stared at Sean in shock and disbelief. They could not believe he could be held in such high esteem.
After all, the previous commanders-in-chief of the city defense army did not manage to do that!
Not even Mayor Quentin, who ran the city, could be given such high regard!
Zander was perplexed as he looked at Sean.
Yvonne walked over, looked timidly at Sean, and said, "Commander Lennon, what they said is true. Many people in the slum who are sick or injured can't afford to go to the hospital for treatment, so we can only stay home. If they're lucky, they'll get better after a while, but it'll worsen if they're unlucky..."
Yvonne's voice trailed off as she reached the end of her speech.
Sean turned to look at the young man who was the first to get on his knees and pour out his woes, and he said, "Where is your mother? Take me to her."
"Yes, yes, yes. I'll show you the way!"
The young man was so excited that he quickly got up from the floor and showed Sean the way while wiping his tears.
Zander kept up with Sean, carrying the medical kit. Shania and Uriah were also at his side.
