Watching Kena's disheveled appearance, Reece raised an eyebrow and said, "You were never part of my plan. Sneaking away from Summerfield to come to Devonport, did the boss know? How do you still have the face to question me?"

"You!"

Kena glared fiercely at Reece.

She was enduring the pain of burns all over her body, making her expression even more ferocious.

Reece, unconcerned, said, "Take Ms. Leticia back for treatment. But, we're in the mountains; it'll take at least two hours to get back. Ms. Leticia will have to bear with it."

After saying that, Reece led his people away.

Before leaving, he couldn't help but say with feigned regret, "Such a pretty face, ruined. What a shame."

Behind him, Kena clenched her fists.

Meanwhile, in the ambulance.

Sophie coughed up blood again, splattering it all over William's white coat.

"Oh dear!"

William wanted to complain about the mess, but seeing Sophie's pale face on the stretcher, he held back. He had to do everything to save Sophie.

He had promised Gordon.

He couldn't even begin to imagine how bad it would be for him if something truly happened to Sophie today.

"Dr. William, we should administer another dose of painkiller. The bullet needs to be removed as soon as possible." "Do you think I don't know that?"

William said, "Really reckless, shooting near the heart! It's like they're purposely making it hard for us doctors."

Despite his words, William didn't stop working. The conditions for surgery were far from ideal, but there was no other choice. They had to perform emergency treatment on the wound and remove the bullet right there in the ambulance.

Given they were in the mountains,

far from any city hospital, leaving the bullet in for too long could easily lead to an infection, complicating matters further.

Lying on the stretcher, Sophie whispered, "William... just go ahead, I'm not that afraid of the pain."

"It's alright, another dose of painkiller won't hurt your brain!"

William wasn't worried about using up his painkillers; he was more concerned about Sophie dying of pain in the ambulance.

Even if he had a dozen reasons, he wouldn't be able to explain himself out of that situation.

Sophie didn't speak further, choosing to trust William.

After all, William was among the most authoritative doctors both nationally and internationally.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be so eagerly invited by numerous wealthy

individuals to be their athy

Two hours later.

BUMS

The ambulance had reached the hospital in the city center.

doctor.

The city center hospital's staff had already been notified by Colby's call, so as soon as the ambulance arrived, the doctors were all hands on deck to rush Sophie inside.

Only William was left weakly stepping out of the ambulance.

"Wait... wait for me! I'm a patient too!"

After two hours of tense life-saving efforts, William was almost in tears.

Why only care about Sophie?

He's human too!

He needed a large bed to rest properly now.

No big bed? The hospital bed would do.

At that moment, Colby's cars had also arrived one after the other at the entrance of the city center hospital.

Jenna swung open the car door, rushing towards William, "How is it? Why are you standing here by yourself? Where's Sophie? Has she been taken in? Speak up!" "Lady, I've just finished a surgery. How did you get here so fast?"
