Ethan Dawson spent two days in bed. After taking the potent medicine, his three wounds healed quickly, and by the third day, he was able to get up and move around.
Evelyn Ford's next task was to treat Officer Graham's stomach ulcer. An earlier examination back at the cabin had revealed his condition wasn't good—he even had some gastric bleeding. Officer Graham had been taking his medicine consistently, and over the past two days, his complexion had improved and his appetite had returned. Evelyn decided to give him another check-up. While he had experienced gastric bleeding, his ulcer wasn't severe enough to warrant surgery. Thanks to his recent period of rest and treatment, he was already sixty to seventy percent recovered. Another month of care would see him fully healed.
Although Officer Graham never showed it, he had been under a great deal of pressure. He was only human, and he was afraid of dying. Fortunately, the results of this check-up let everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
