He immediately realized that his actions had caused Felicia to misunderstand, so he explained, “Someone was chasing me just now, and I had no choice but to offend you. I know the money isn’t much and can’t really compensate you. Here is my business card. If you think of anything you need as compensation, you can contact me anytime.”

Felicia took the business card and glanced at it. Gideon.

The name seemed very familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere before.

Before she could think further, she felt something sticky on the card. Felicia turned the card over and, seeing the thick red substance, her pupils suddenly contracted.

Blood, it was blood!

Instinctively, she looked toward the man who was struggling to leave the alley.

The next second, the man collapsed heavily to the ground.

“What’s wrong with you? I’ll take you to the hospital!”

“No, I can’t go to the hos… hospital…”

As soon as he finished speaking, the man completely lost consciousness.

“Gideon? Gideon?”

J

She tried calling the man’s name, but it was clear he had completely passed out.

By the moonlight, Felicia saw two bullet wounds on the man’s shoulder. She reached out and wiped them, her hand coming away covered in blood.

No wonder he didn’t want to go to the hospital; he was probably a wanted criminal.

If he went to the hospital with those gunshot wounds, the police would definitely arrest him.

Or, if he was even more unlucky, before the police could take him away, those people who had been chasing him might find him first.

Felicia stared at the blood on her hand with a complicated expression. After hesitating for a long time, she finally took a shortcut, helped him up, and staggered home.

Fortunately, she was used to keeping a medicine box at home, otherwise she really would have

been at a loss.

“You should count yourself lucky that you ran into me today.”

Felicia sighed, then took off the man’s jacket and shirt, exposing his bare upper body.

She wiped away the blood and examined him up and down. Fortunately, there were only two gunshot wounds on his shoulder.

When she turned him over to look at his back, Felicia gasped sharply.

There were numerous whip marks, crisscrossing in a complicated pattern.

Some of the scars had already thickened, indicating they were old and looked terrifying.

Had she gotten herself involved with someone she shouldn’t have?

But she had already brought him back…

Forget it.

Felicia didn’t have any anesthetic, so when she removed the first bullet, the man woke up from the intense pain.

Feeling the tearing pain in his shoulder, he instinctively sat up, pinned her down on the sofa, bent one leg over her back, and forcefully twisted her arms behind her.

“Ah! It hurts! Let go! Let go!”

Before Felicia could react, her hand holding the tweezers was suddenly twisted behind her, and her whole body was pinned to the sofa in a humiliating and awkward position.

Gideon’s shoulder started bleeding profusely again.

Whether he was still confused or had recognized who was in front of him, he really did loosen his grip and collapsed onto the sofa.

He knocked over Felicia’s bottle of alcohol, spilling it all over the sofa.

“Sorry, I didn’t see it was you just now.”

Felicia glared at the man irritably and said, “…If you had seen it wasn’t me, you probably would have died.”

Seeing her full bottle of alcohol spilled, Felicia became even more annoyed.

She held back her anger, opened a new bottle of alcohol, and handed a clean towel to Gideon.

“There’s no anesthetic, so you’ll have to bear it yourself.”

As she spoke, she disinfected the tweezers again.

Earlier, when the man was unconscious, Felicia hadn’t paid attention to her posture and had knelt with one knee on the sofa between his open legs.

Now that he was awake, she was about to continue in the same position when she realized it was too intimate, so she coughed lightly and moved to the side.

She inserted the tweezers back into the wound to extract the bullet lodged in the flesh. The man didn’t put the towel in his mouth but gripped it tightly in his hand, his teeth clenched and his brows furrowed as he closed his eyes.
