The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 1691

The angle of the bullet's entry meant it didn't pierce the heart chamber directly; instead, it became enshrouded by the heart muscle. With every thud of Sean's heart, the bullet inside shifted ever so slightly.

Since taking the bullet, Sean had maintained an air of indifference, going about his life as if nothing had changed. To everyone else, he was the same formidable figure they had always feared.

But sometimes, he'd suffer from chest tightness, a racing heartbeat, dizziness, a feeling of suffocation.

Over the past few months, a team of top-notch doctors had been brainstorming solutions, but none could guarantee a 100% success rate in removing the bullet.

Because the bullet, aside from causing Sean discomfort, wasn't life-threatening and didn't disrupt his daily routine, some doctors suggested forgoing surgery and simply managing the symptoms with medication.

As time went on, Sean's discomfort grew more frequent and pronounced; conservative treatment was no longer cutting it.

That was one reason he hadn't gone home. The thought of his family witnessing his sudden death. The heartache it would cause his parents, his siblings.

It's rumored that she's quicker to save a life than the Grim Reaper is to take one. If we can find her, there might be a chance.”

“Dr. Bell.” Steward had heard the name before.

He had sent people to find this miracle doctor long ago, but Dr. Bell was as elusive as a ghost, and they hadn't been able to track her down.

Now, with Sean unconscious, mobilizing a massive search felt like finding a needle in a haystack. Then, the image of that young girl from the night before popped into his mind. Did she really know medicine? Could she operate on Sean?

Her calm demeanor, those eyes brimming with confidence, it made one want to believe. But that thought lasted only a second before he felt like he was losing his mind. He must be desperate to even consider the words of a girl barely out of her teens!
