Hello. You forgot to say that this question is related to "The Enemy".
Answer:
Because the shelter at the doctor's house gave the soldier comfort and compassion, which he would not find if he returned to combat.
Explanation:
When the soldier arrived at the doctor's house, he was highly injured, weak, tired and very traumatized by all the horrors he witnessed in the war and by all the abuses he suffered at the hand of the enemy army. However, the doctor's family took care of his injuries, showed him compassion and friendship, gave him comfort and security. The soldier did not want to lose those good feelings that the doctor's house allowed him to feel and he knew that if he left the house, he would have to return to the horrors of the fight and for that reason, he was reluctant to leave the doctor's house, even putting all the family in danger.
