Captivated by the Ruler of the Underworld
Chapter 188 Vascular Suture

"What's our next move?" Sylvester Gomez inquired, his voice laced with anxiety. Despite his question, his gaze remained locked on Lela, concern etched on his face as he feared she might crumble under the immense pressure. Without wasting a moment, Lela swiftly lifted Flora from the bathtub and hurried towards the room, her heart pounding in her chest. Sylvester Gomez trailed closely behind her, clutching a medical kit in his grasp. Once inside the room, Lela relieved Sylvester of the medical kit. "Sylvester," she implored, "I need you to help me keep things under control. I fear that once the reporters get wind of this, they'll swarm the place." Without waiting for Sylvester's response, Lela unclasped the medical kit. It was brimming with the latest medical tools, even the essentials such as tourniquets, suture needles, curved needles, and hemostats. Concerned for Flora's comfort, Lela sprayed her left wrist with a bottle of lidocaine to numb the area. She then quickly fastened a tourniquet around Flora's upper arm, slipped on gloves, threaded the needle, sterilized the wound, and used a hemostat to staunch the bleeding before she commenced suturing.

As she was about to secure the hemostats, a jet of fresh blood erupted. Lela had no time to falter; her only focus was ensuring her sister's wellbeing.

Sylvester watched Lela with a tight-lipped expression, his amber eyes filled with worry. He gave her a lingering look before exiting the room. He realized that he could be of more assistance outside.

As Sylvester stepped outside, he found that reporters, having caught wind of the situation, had encircled the entire hotel, making it impenetrable.

"Flora Harrison has been in hiding for so long, she must be too frightened to come out," some speculated.

"We've heard Flora Harrison is staying here. If we go up, we could land an exclusive."

"Let's storm in and get a statement from Flora Harrison herself."

Sylvester and Mildred Gomez descended to the lobby, only to be met with the ensuing chaos. Sylvester's brow furrowed deeply at the sight.

"Have the hotel seal off all entrances and exits immediately," he ordered, his voice steady and composed.

"Summon the bodyguards for backup."

He issued his commands before adding, "And inform Dr. Watson to prepare blood bags for transport."

Mildred Gomez promptly set off to execute the orders.

Meanwhile, upstairs in the bedroom, Lela was engrossed in her suturing, her movements precise and careful. Veins, unlike surface tissues, are fragile, and suturing them demands a far greater level of skill and expertise.
