Thalia was placed on the bed in a room.
Other than gunshot wounds, she suffered multiple stab injuries as well.
It was a long night. Despite Spencer giving her medication to stop the bleeding, she still needed to be operated on to survive. At that moment, her clothes were already drenched in her blood. It was a dreadful sight.
The room was crowded.
Standing in a corner, the kids had grim looks on their faces when they saw how severe Thalia's injuries were.
Right then, everything was ready.
However, Spencer clenched his fists tightly and didn't know how to start the surgery as he looked at Thalia's unconscious face.
His hands were trembling so much when the doctor beside him asked, “Shall we start?”
Spencer stared blankly at Thalia and did not move.
After hearing the doctor, Natasha looked up at Spencer and immediately understood the situation when she saw his trembling hands.
Natasha said, “Spencer, if you hesitate any longer, the thing you fear the most might happen.”
Spencer's expression visibly changed.
Looking at Spencer, Natasha continued, “There is still hope for her. This is not a major surgery. You just have to remove the bullet, stop the bleeding, and stitch her wounds. However, if you continue dragging, her condition will be more dangerous.”
Finally regaining his senses, Spencer replied, “I know.”
Seeing that Spencer was still at a loss for what to do, Natasha suddenly stopped him. “If you can't do this, let the doctor do it,” she said.
Spencer took a deep breath and looked at Natasha firmly. “I can do this.”
All of a sudden, the heart rate monitor showed that Thalia's heart rate had dropped.
Upon seeing that, the doctor urged, “Oh no! The patient's heart rate is starting to drop. This must be due to excessive bleeding. We must remove the bullet immediately to stop the bleeding!”
Spencer looked at Thalia with a panicked look in his eyes. He knew that if he didn't act immediately, the woman would be in serious danger.
“Everyone, get out now,” Spencer demanded abruptly.
Everyone in the room exited the room without saying anything to make space for them.
“I won't let anything happen to you, Thalia! Never!” With that said, Spencer took a pair of scissors and cut off the shirt covering her shoulder. Then, he started the surgery.
The doctor beside Spencer watched the procedure and cooperated with him.
However, Thalia was bleeding profusely throughout the surgery.
Frowning, the doctor said, “No. She's bleeding too much. She needs a blood transfusion, or else there will be further complications even if she's saved. I'll call the hospital and ask them to send blood over as fast as possible!”
With that, the doctor walked out of the room.
Spencer did not respond. Instead, he proceeded to remove Thalia's bullet calmly.
The doctor reached the door when he suddenly remembered something. “Do you know her blood type?”
“Her blood type is A,” Spencer replied.
“Okay.”
The doctor was about to leave when Spencer said, “Wait.”
Turning around, the doctor asked, “What's the matter?”
“Please ask the woman outside to come in,” Spencer said.
Frowningly, the doctor was about to ask the reason when Spencer said, “There's not enough time for the blood to be sent over. The woman outside has blood type A.”
The doctor immediately understood what Spencer wanted to do.
“Right. It's much faster to transfuse blood directly than wait for the hospital to send blood over,” the doctor concluded.
After going out of the room for a few seconds, he returned with Natasha.
Looking at Natasha, Spencer was pondering how to ask her when she immediately cut him off, “Cut the crap and start now!” Natasha sat down near Spencer and gestured for the doctor to start.
The latter looked to Spencer for instructions, but Spencer was staring at Natasha with a surprised look.
