Chapter 238 An Emergency Situation

Day Twenty Five...

~~*****~~

Nathan was sitting in the waiting area outside the operating room. He looked absentminded while staring at his bloody hands. The blood in his palms belonged to Abigail. She lost too much blood.

She got three gunshot wounds. But he only saw the gunman pulling the trigger twice. He assumed that the first gunshot hit Abigail the moment she turned him around, switching their positions.

"Why did she save me? Why did she protect me? I thought she wanted revenge since I destroyed the Phantom's Assassin Guild. Is this one of her schemes? But she might die." Nathan became more confused now. He couldn't understand why Abigail protected him.

Nathan was still lost in his thoughts when the door of the operating room slid open. One nurse was rushing out. Nathan stood up and asked her. "How is she?"

"A few minutes after the surgery started, the patient's heart suddenly stopped. The doctor is now trying to revive her. She lost more blood. I am going to get more."

Nathan glanced through the glass window and saw the doctor applying CPR (Cardiopulmonary resuscitation). He felt like it was his heart being squeezed right now. 'Is Abigail going to die? No!!!'

Nathan folded his hand into a tight fist. He didn't know if he could still watch this scene. He felt like his heart was going to burst at any moment. Why was he getting affected so much? He was supposed to feel nothing.

It did not take long before Aiden and Stephen joined Nathan. Stephen tapped Nathan's shoulder as if he was telling him that everything would be fine.

Aiden, on the other hand, was shaken the moment he witnessed how the doctor was trying to revive Abigail. Just a while ago, Abigail was smiling at him. She even volunteered to train him. Aiden couldn't help but tear up watching Abigail in this state.

"We must catch the culprit who did this to her!" Aiden mumbled through his gritted teeth. He felt sorry for Abigail.

The three men were just able to breathe normally when the doctor succeeded in reviving her. Her heartbeat came back.

"Let's just wait," Stephen mumbled, pulling Nathan back to the bench.

Cherry: "W-What happened to her?"

Aiden: "She was shot."

Thud!

Cherry's leg gave in as she stumbled because of the bad news.

Meanwhile, not only Nathan's side was facing this trouble, but also the Red Dragon Mafia, most especially the medical staff present in the Sanitarium.

An unknown phenomenon was happening to their VIP patient. Phantomflake's body bled so much for an unknown reason. When the doctor checked her body, they saw the sources of the blood– three wounds that were similar to a gunshot wound!

How could this happen? No one entered her ward except the assigned doctor and nurses. No one was carrying a gun! Where did she get that wound?

But treating the patient was the most important thing. They had to stop her bleeding so they transferred her to the Operating Room. They had no time to spare.

The doctor and the nurses became more restless when the patient's blood pressure dropped and suddenly a cardiac arrest happened to the patient.

They were in that emergency state when Bam-Bam appeared inside the Operating Room.

"Uh-oh! What's going on here? Did they do something to her?" Bam-Bam flew closer to Phantomflake's body. He assessed her body and saw her bleeding too much.

"Oh no! This is not good! I think... Something happened to Phantomflake who is currently inside Abigail's body!" Bam-Bam got worried about her.

"Master! What happened to you?!"

"I have to see her! I have to go back to her and find out what happened! It's no fun dying too early. Today is only the 25th day of her mission!"

But before Bam-Bam left, he cast a spell on Phantomflake's body as the doctor began pumping her chest to revive her.
