Thank you, Doctor!
Lucy clutched her abdomen and rolled off the operating table.
The intense pain from the abdominal surgical incision made her face turn slightly pale.
The surgeon, witnessing this scene, felt a pang of compassion.
He reached out and supported Lucy's arm, saying, "You'd better rest for a few days to allow your stitches to heal fully."
Lucy forced a smile, shook her head, and said, "Thank you for your concern, doctor."
"But I don't have much time left..."
The surgeon opened his mouth, but couldn't utter any words of comfort.
Lucy nodded kindly to him, picked up the half-empty bag of CPH4 from the surgical tray, and staggered out, clutching her abdomen.
The surgeon and his assistant just watched her leave.
" Paul, go call the police."
"Huh?" The assistant looked at his boss with a bewildered expression.
The surgeon raised his hand and slapped him on the back of the head, saying irritably, "I told you to call the police, you idiot!"
The assistant, rubbing the back of his head, said with a pitiful expression, "Wow, really? Boss! You were just acting like a nice guy, seeing them off."
"And then they turn around and tell me to call the police?!"
"Nonsense!" The lead surgeon pointed at the patient lying on the ground, his head blown off, "If you don't call the police, are you going to dispose of this body?!"
"Hey, now I'm going to teach you a lesson..."
"It's good for doctors to be kind-hearted! But the key is not to get caught up in their own problems."
"That girl definitely looks terrible..."
"But if you don't call the police, believe me, we'll end up in a worse situation than her!"
Upon hearing this, the assistant immediately put on a stern face and said, "Understood! Boss, I'll go call the police right away!"
After saying that, he turned and ran out of the operating room.
The surgeon hurriedly waved and shouted, "Wait! Come back here first!"
"Oh!" The assistant turned and ran back. "Boss, is there anything else you need?"
The surgeon asked, "After you get through to the police station, do you know what to say?"
The assistant shrugged and said, "What else can I say? Of course, I'll just tell the truth!"
"Anyway, we didn't kill this person; in a way, we're victims too."
The surgeon chopped him on the forehead with a single chop.
'Thump!'
The assistant was in so much pain that tears almost welled up in her eyes.
"Hey boss! Why did you hit me again?!"
"Are you an idiot?!" the surgeon said, exasperated. "That girl opened fire without warning; what kind of person could she be?"
"If you really leak her information, believe me, she'll come knocking on our door the next day and shoot us both in the head!!"
The assistant rubbed his reddened forehead and asked, puzzled, "Then what should I say?"
The surgeon, hands on his hips, paced back and forth, pondering for a moment. Then, he clapped his hands and said, "Alright, tell me the truth about what happened..."
"But when the police ask for information about the girl, just say you don't know."
"Huh?!" The assistant was stunned again. He asked doubtfully, "Police officers aren't stupid. Can you really trust me?!"
"Are you stupid?!" The surgeon looked at him with a dark face, wondering why he had ever taken him under his wing.
"Just tell me that when the gun was pointed at you, you were so scared that your mind went blank, and you didn't dare to look up and examine the girl's face..."
"Oh!" The assistant exclaimed in sudden realization, giving the surgeon a thumbs-up. "As expected of you, boss! Your ability to lie through your teeth is top-notch!"
"Huh?!" The surgeon stared wide-eyed at his assistant with a hostile expression.
The assistant immediately covered his head and ran away, yelling, "Oh no, boss! I'm going to call the police!"
As soon as Lucy left the hospital, she heard police sirens approaching and they rushed over.
She quickly lowered her head and blended into the crowd.
Just as she was walking away quickly, a hand suddenly landed on her shoulder.
"Hey, pretty lady, wait a minute."
Lucy's heart skipped a beat, and her hand instantly went to the handle of the pistol at her waist.
However, when she slowly came to her senses, she found that a young man of about twenty years old was looking at her with his phone in his hand.
The young man asked, "Your name is Lucy Reynolds?"
Lucy paused, then nodded. "Yes."
The young man immediately handed over his phone. "Here, your phone, it's for you."
"This is amazing! The call for someone they're looking for came directly to me, a complete stranger..."
"You're not a spy or an assassin, are you?!"
Lucy reached out and took the phone, smiling calmly, "Of course not."
Then, she held the phone to her ear and said warily, "I'm Lucy Reynolds, who are you?"
"I'm your brother, you stupid woman!" Reynolds' angry voice came through the phone.
" Richard?!" Lucy covered her mouth in surprise, her eyes quickly welling up with tears.
How did you find me...?
wrong!
She immediately realized that her younger brother had called the stranger next to her.
"Where did you learn these hacking techniques?!"
"Does Mom know?"
"Quickly clean up all traces of your online intrusion!"
"Shut up! You stupid woman!" Reynolds shouted angrily.
"I'll be in Hong Kong soon. Find a secluded hotel to stay in first, and we'll talk about the rest when I get there!"
"I..." Lucy's eyebrows shot up, about to explode in anger.
Unexpectedly, Reynolds hung up the phone immediately.
Lucy stomped her foot in anger, but accidentally aggravated her wound, and immediately turned pale with pain.
"Heave-ho!" She took a deep breath, suppressing the excruciating pain.
He then returned the phone to the young man and politely thanked him, saying, "Thank you, handsome."
The young man put away his phone, but continued to pester Lucy, asking, "Isn't yours a spy?"
"I just heard you mention hackers!"
"Hey, no need to hide it anymore! I love hackers! They're so cool and stylish, and so glamorous!"
Lucy frowned and it took her quite a bit of effort to get the young man away.
Then, following her younger brother's instructions, she found a family-run hotel right next to the hospital.
Reynolds arrived three hours later.
He raised his hand and knocked on the door.
" Lucy, open the door, it's me."
Lucy opened the door, and her eyes welled up with tears the moment she saw her younger brother.
" Richard!"
She opened her arms and hugged her younger brother tightly.
Reynolds felt his sister's trembling body, his face full of tenderness.
"Sis, let's go inside first and talk about it."
Lucy nodded silently and let go of him.
I entered the room.
Reynolds helped Lucy to sit down on the edge of the bed and asked with concern, "How are you feeling?"
Lucy shook her head, and tears streamed down her face.
" Richard, waaaaah~ I'm going to die."
"Bullshit!" Reynolds retorted loudly, "Why are you dying all of a sudden!"
Lucy shook her head, crying, and took out the half-bag of blue granules.
"Three days ago, a group of South Korea surgically inserted it into my stomach..."
"Later, the bag ruptured, and its contents dissolved into my body..."
