Chapter 617 - Bleed to Death (1/2)

”Has a surgeon examined you already?” J asked.

”Uh...Y-yes.” The young boy stuttered.

J frowned. When she first saw the young boy, all she saw in his face is total calmness despite his bleeding calf. Now all the calmness in his face was gone and all she could see is panic. Does she intimidate the young boy?

She sighed internally.

”Then why is the bullet still there?” She inquired again wondering why hasn't the surgeon removed the bullet and stitched his wound yet.

”And please stop stuttering,” J added before the young boy could reply. She wanted to say 'It irritates me' but decided not to.

She heard Felix chuckled so she shot him an icy glare. Felix immediately shuts his mouth.

”The doctor says that my wound is not fatal so it shouldn't be a priority yet.” The young boy said after mustering all the courage to not stutter.

In an emergency situation where there are a large number of patients or casualties, the medical staff identifies the degree of urgency of wound or illness before they decide who to treat first. J raised a brow because, in the case of the young boy, he should be treated urgently because he could literally bleed to death.

”You are bleeding profusely and it could lead to shock and later on death. How could the surgeon say that it is not life-threatening? Who is that surgeon?” Based on J's tone, any moment she could cause chaos in the clinic so Arthur stepped in.

”Miss, I'll call a surgeon,” Arthur said to calm her down.

”It was not bleeding before. I am a bit careless and frolic that's why it must've bled.” The young boy quickly said upon seeing the anger in J's face. But the young boy somehow felt touched because it seems the heiress is concern about his well being. Thou she is aloof and intimidating, he can't help but still admire her.

J finally realized that the boy's painless reaction earlier is probably not just because of his high tolerance but because he doesn't feel any more pain due to blood loss.

”Then why didn't you tell it and called out for help immediately?” J asked with a frown. She can't believe how stubborn this young boy is. Even if he has undergone intense training and his endurance and tolerance have been tested in the point that they should not fear death, he should still care for his life. She just can't understand the logic.
