Chapter 797: Advanced Medical Technology

Christina cut off the sleeve and frowned slightly when she saw the wound. "You'll need stitches for this."

Preston was sweating profusely from the pain, his forehead damp with sweat.

"Do you want anesthesia?" Christina asked.

The anesthetist was probably too busy to come over.

"No need."

"Then bear with it."

"Okay."

Christina put on gloves to treat Preston's wound. Preston turned his head away, only making a sound when the pain was unbearable.

"Did you get this from car glass?" Christina tried to distract Preston by chatting with him.

"Yes, it was chaotic at the scene. I didn't notice the broken glass while helping to rescue people." Preston replied.

Christina was surprised. "So, you were a rescuer."

Her gaze towards Preston changed, filled with admiration.

"My car stopped in time. There were so many injured at the scene; I helped as many as I could."

Christina said, "There aren't many kind-hearted people like you nowadays."

Preston chuckled lightly. "There are still many."

The pain made him groan, and Christina immediately slowed her movements.

Christina said, "Hang in there, almost done."

Half an hour later, Christina deftly cut the remaining thread and bandaged him up.

"Keep the wound dry and avoid strenuous activity. Come back in five days to have the stitches removed." Christina reminded.

Preston's lips were pale. "Thank you."

"You're very kind and brave. Most people would choose anesthesia for a wound like this." Christina handed him a few tissues.

Preston took them. "Others need anesthesia more than I do. For a wound like this, I shouldn't take up medical resources."

It was the first time Christina had met such an understanding patient, so she gave Preston another look.

"Are you from Country Z?" She finally noticed Preston's appearance.

Preston replied, "Yes, and you?"

"Yes." Christina immediately switched to their native language.

Preston smiled and glanced at Christina's name tag. "Miss Mitchell, thank you."

"You're welcome. It's our duty as doctors. Take this form to pay and get your medication."

Preston took the form. "When should I come back for a dressing change?"

Christina replied, "You can change it at home after getting the medication. Just come back to the hospital for stitch removal."

Preston wanted to say more but saw Christina busy packing up, so he just said okay.

The emergency room was still busy. Christina quickly packed up and went to help. As she passed by Preston, he stopped.

He stood there, his clothes stained with blood, one sleeve missing, his pale face inscrutable.

After a while, his assistant hurried over and took him away.

Christina returned to the emergency room, where another patient had just arrived.

Christina ran over to help push the gurney.

"Doctor, am I going to be okay?" The patient grabbed Christina's hand. She looked down to comfort him and suddenly saw Paul’s pale, handsome face.

Christina's expression changed slightly as she glanced at Paul's lower body.

Paul's injury was in his lower body, with dark bloodstains near his thigh. Christina was shocked.

Judging by the amount of blood, Paul might...

Christina swallowed hard but still comforted him softly. "Don't worry, with modern medical technology, we can definitely treat you." Even if it's severed, it can be reattached.

Christina didn't dare say the last part, fearing it would hurt Paul's dignity as a man.

Paul heard Christina's voice and looked up at her. "Why is it you?"

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."

"What?"

Paul was wheeled into the emergency room, and Christina stood at the door.

She wondered whether to stay and check on Paul or go home after her shift.

Feeling exhausted, Christina decided to stay for a while.

She would leave after Paul's family arrived.

"Miss Mitchell, why are you still here?" A nurse, done with her shift, saw Christina still there.

"I'm waiting for someone."

"Then I'll go first."

"Bye."

"Is it here?"

A pleasant female voice woke Christina from her drowsiness. She looked up to see a stunningly beautiful face.

"Yes, it's here." A pleasant male voice followed. Christina looked over and saw a familiar face.

It was Nicholas, a famous figure in the medical field!

The beautiful woman beside him must be Nicholas's wife.

Caroline didn't recognize Christina and assumed she was another family member waiting.

Since the family had arrived, Christina prepared to leave.

At that moment, Paul was wheeled out.

Caroline and Nicholas approached.

Paul, pale and weak, said, "Nicholas, Caroline, I..."

"Let's talk in the room."

Paul was wheeled to a room. As he passed Christina, he turned to call her, but Christina stopped the doctor who came out behind him. "Quincy, how is he?"

Quincy replied, "His wound has been treated. He lost a lot of blood and was almost crippled."

It seemed Paul's injury was quite serious, but since Quincy said it was treated, it should be reattached.

Losing his most precious part would be a devastating blow for any man.

Although Christina had some misunderstandings with Paul, leading to a bad impression, she didn't want him to lose his manhood and become a cripple.

As Lucas would say, at least Paul was handsome. If a handsome person became a cripple, it would be a pity.

Christina left the hospital with her bag.

Paul lay in bed, feeling immensely relieved.

"Good thing I dodged a bit, or it would have been my second life."

Nicholas frowned deeply. "Preston was also at the accident scene."

Paul's relieved expression vanished.

The horrific chain accident had caused many casualties. His car was among them. Fortunately, he reacted quickly, steadied the steering wheel, and the airbag saved his life.

After escaping the car, he ignored his injuries and went back to rescue people.

He saved a little girl and was returning to save her family when the car suddenly exploded, and debris cut his thigh.

The doctor said it had almost severed his tendon.

Hearing Nicholas's words, Paul couldn't help but suspect Preston. "Do you think Preston orchestrated this accident to get rid of me?"

If that were true, Preston was a real bastard.

Nicholas said, "We can't rule out that possibility. We'll have to wait for the investigation."

Paul's demeanor turned serious. "Nicholas, you and Caroline should return to the country soon."

Nicholas replied, "Don't worry about us. He wouldn't dare harm us."

Paul said, "Find an excuse to bring my mom back to the country too."
