Chapter 205 Severe Injury
“Bad news!”
Suddenly, a member rushed in, clearly panicked. “Captain Lester was attacked! He’s badly hurt!”

Inside the room, Raymond lay on the bed, covered in blood, and barely breathing.
The cheerful, bearded man who used to slurp instant noodles was gone.
Several medical officers crowded around him, sweat rolling down their faces. “The bullet is way too close to his heart. Even the tiniest mistake would kill him. If only Dr. Bourn were here–she’s the best at this kind of delicate surgery!”
But Rachel had just been sent off to the northern desert.
As soon as they heard that, the senior officials wanted to call her back immediately.
“Hurry up! Call Rachel and tell her to come back!” Garrick snapped, his voice tight with stress.
Her car hadn’t gone far yet. If she turned around now, there might still be time.
“On it!”
A member ran out to carry out the order.
At that moment, Sebastian and Noelle walked in.
“Mr. Menzie! Mrs. Menzie!”
The senior officials spoke quickly when they saw them.
“Captain Lester is critically injured. Only Rachel can save him. I already sent someone to call her back!” Garrick said fast.
“No need,” Noelle replied calmly, eyes flicking toward Raymond’s wound. “I’ll handle it.”
Everyone froze.
She’ll handle it?!
Sure, Noelle was the boss of Alliance 749, and they respected her now, but she wasn’t a doctor!
Even the experienced medical officers weren’t confident, let alone her. “Mrs. Menzie, the injury is extremely serious. The bullet is only 0.4 inches from the heart. One wrong move would… I’m afraid you can’t…”
Noelle didn’t even look at them. She walked straight to the bed.
She scanned Raymond’s wound.
He was badly hurt. The bullet sat dangerously close to his heart. If it stayed in, he wouldn’t last long.
Her expression turned cold. She casually picked up a scalpel.

“Mrs. Menzie!” the medical officers cried out, but it was already too late.
Noelle flicked her wrist, and the blade flashed between her fingers.
Without any scans or equipment, she guided the tip straight into the wound with sharp precision.

“This is insanely dangerous!” Victor rushed forward, unable to stand it. “Without imaging, you might cut into a coronary vessel!
“Mrs. Menzie! Please stay still. Let’s wait until Rachel gets back!”
When Noelle didn’t even look his way, he panicked and reached out.
Sebastian lifted his hand and stopped Victor, his eyes calm. “Let her continue.”
He didn’t raise his voice, yet the order felt unbreakable.
“Mr. Menzie!”
“Trust her.”
The senior officers were on edge. They wanted to believe Noelle, but pulling a bullet like that looked absurd.
Raymond’s life was on the line. They couldn’t be careless.
Rachel had removed bullets plenty of times. She was skilled. Waiting for her was obviously safer.
Victor’s eyes burned with anger. He was the closest to Raymond. Watching Sebastian back Noelle, he clenched his jaw, turned around, and dialed.
“Rachel, where are you? Are you on your way back yet?!”
Rachel answered, “Victor, we’re already heading to headquarters. Maybe thirty minutes more. Don’t worry. We’ll hurry.”
Thirty minutes?!
Victor was frantic. “Drive faster!”
“How’s Raymond?” she asked,
“He’s lost a lot of blood! It looks bad! Mrs. Menzie is treating him!”
“Mrs. Menzie?” Rachel paused.
“Alright, Rachel, I’ll hang up. I’m going back inside to check. Please hurry!”
Victor ended the call in a rush.
He had to get back and make sure Noelle didn’t actually kill Raymond.
Inside the car, Rachel stared at her phone, eyes narrowing.
So, Noelle is treating Raymond now?
A sharp glint flashed in her gaze. “Pull over.”

“Huh?” The driver was confused.
Isn’t Captain Lester almost dying? Aren’t we supposed to speed up?
Rachel pressed her hand to her chest. “I don’t feel good. Let’s stop for a bit before we go on.”
The driver hesitated, but she really looked unwell. Afraid something might happen, he pulled over right away.
There was a bench by the road. Rachel sat down.
She still clutched her chest like she was in pain, but a small smirk crept onto her lips.
She was stalling on purpose.
She wanted Sebastian to realize that IBI couldn’t run without her.
And that bitch Noelle actually dared to show off by saving Raymond?
Rachel had already asked about his condition. The bullet was too close to the heart and buried too deeply. Even she wasn’t sure she could remove it.
Noelle had even less of a chance than she did.
No matter what, Noelle was just the head of Alliance 749. Rachel believed she was the real medical expert.
It was best if Noelle messed up and killed Raymond. Rachel would like to see how Noelle would dare face anyone after that.
Back at IBI, Victor ended the call and rushed into the room.
