Samuel lifted his head and looked at the man before him with a stupefied expression. After a while, he nodded vehemently. "I remember."
Perhaps he did not remember Thomas, but he could not forget the incident that happened on that particular night one year ago.
At that time, he was helping out a friend whom he had just known not long ago to replace his service at the outskirt village church, one that his friend used to take care of after his friend passed away not long ago. Coincidentally, a production team was filming a movie near the village.
That night, Samuel had just finished his work for the day, and Thomas' production team sent Thomas to the church. The leader of the villager said Thomas got bitten by a very poisonous snake, and he needed a woman to help him to treat the poison.
Samuel took a look at Thomas and instantly exposed the lie the leader told them. Thomas did not look like he was bitten by a poisonous snake but was more likely drugged! A person in the production team wanted to use the drug to force Thomas to give in to her, wanting to force Thomas to be with her!
The production team stayed silent after hearing the assumption from Samuel. After that, all of the women in the production team, including actresses and backstage staff, denied being responsible for drugging Thomas. These women who would fawn over Thomas any other day refused to help Thomas. According to them, if a person volunteered to help, it might indirectly mean that she was the one who drugged Thomas.
Thus, they kept on fighting until Thomas' situation got worse. Eventually, Thomas’ assistant kneeled and begged Samuel to think of a solution.
However, just as Samuel decided to use his less-professional medical skill to help suppress Thomas' condition, he heard a woman's voice coming from Thomas' room.
It was a girl who had followed Samuel to the village to pay respects to his friend.
The girl's mother was one of the devotees who used to go to the church where Samuel was servicing, and she had a close relationship with Thomas' friend. However, the girl’s mother suffered from severe illness :d%>QKU> was unable to be there personally. Thus, Samuel brought the girl with him.
