Seeing her engrossed, Gu Shaocheng gave the butler a few careful instructions, then turned and strode out.
As soon as he stepped outside, he saw a tall woman. A boy was sitting on a chair, his face streaming with sweat, his body trembling as if in intense pain. Yet the woman beside him seed oblivious, as if she didn’t realize his pain. Using the simple tools in her hand, she probed the bullet-hole in his arm, squatting as if looking for fragnts of the bullet.
Gu Shaocheng stood in the doorway, intrigued. He watched as she perford this gory action without so much as a tremble, while the boy’s face turned pale from pain, his teeth clenched in silence. Even at the height of his pain, he only let out a muted whimper.
Without lifting her head, the woman said, "I need a doctor."
She was obviously talking to Gu Shaocheng.
He raised an eyebrow, "Why should I help you?"
The woman didn’t react to his words at all, she continued to search for the bullet fragnts with undivided attention.
After a long five minutes, neither Gu Shaocheng nor the woman made any moves.
The boy was on the verge of passing out due to blood loss, seemingly unable to hold on, Gu Shaocheng was curious about the woman’s level of patience.
The woman showed no anger or excessive emotion. She held a simple first aid kit, with a thin syringe, but the boy stubbornly mumbled, "No anesthesia, I can take the pain."
The woman paused, "You can’t bear it."
Despite his unbearable pain, the boy adamantly refused anesthesia, "No! You dare... dare not leave behind!"
"I won’t leave you this ti!" she said casually, but her voice was firm.
The boy persisted, fearing that she was just placating him, "I can bear it! I can! You said, to beco a good sniper, the most important thing is resilience!"
The woman’s gaze deepened, she let him lean into her, then she put away the syringe, picked up a random object from the table, and placed it in the boy’s mouth to bite on!
Without hesitation, she held his trembling body with one arm, and with full attention, she began to stitch his wound.
In the quiet room, only the sound of clenched teeth could be heard. Gu Shaocheng couldn’t help but look away, but the woman’s hand didn’t shake a bit while holding the needle.
Finally, Gu Shaocheng gestured, "Call the doctor over."
When he turned back, the woman was cutting off a piece of her own clothing at the waistline with a pair of scissors, bandaging it simply, then taking out a makeshift transfusion kit.
The next second, a long needle went directly into her own arm, fresh blood flowed through a slender tube from her body, and was transferred into the young boy’s body.
She lifted one hand, raising the blood bag above her head, the boy’s eyes were already dilated, but he was still fighting to stay conscious.
"I am Nightingale, the leader of the rcenary group under Charm World, a professional soldier, one of the seven leaders under Tian Jun. This mission is in partnership with the Gu family. Now we have a little trouble, I hope to stay here tonight, I will leave tomorrow morning "
"How many people?"
"My people are at the door, they’ll sort out their accommodation. The only one who needs help is the person in my arms. He needs a doctor. At present, I can’t take him to the hospital or leave Vancouver."
