Chapter 618 - Tending a wound

It has been a rule in the Twelve Army that when one person commits a mistake, he or she will suffer a day or two depending on the severity of their mistake in the 3rd Level Basement Chamber. When it comes to his men, Jacob's rule and punishment have always been stringent.

"Are you lacking in staff here? Why did you let my wife tend to his wound?" When everyone heard that, they realized that their Lady Boss is not injured, in fact, she is nursing another patient.

"N-no Chairman. W-we triaged the patients and realized that this patient's condition is not urgent so we tend to other patients first." The doctor said then he looked at the young boy in the bed.

The young boy looked pale than earlier. His face widened when he saw a used bandaged on a tray that is soaked with blood. He eventually realized that the Lady Boss changed the dressing. Then his eyes landed on the young boy's calf wound that is being pressed by a gauze sponge on their Lady Boss's palm.

"I-it was not bleeding before." The doctor was panic-stricken.

"Honey..."

Jacob's head snapped back at his wife. Damn! He cursed internally. His stubborn little wife found another way to lighten his grumpy mood in an instant. The dark clouds around him eventually dissipated.

But, why does it felt like she only calls him 'Honey' when she wants something or she has done something against him?

"The boy is bleeding, the bullet needs to be removed immediately so that we can stitch his wound to stop the bleeding," J said to catch Jacob's attention. She doesn't understand why is he fretting about the fact that she is tending a patient in the clinic. He would even go to the extent of punishing the doctor for not noticing her presence.

Jacob looked at her tenderly before he shifted his gaze on the young boy's wound. His face immediately becomes stern seeing the seriousness of the young boy's condition.

"Tend to his wound immediately," Jacob said to the doctor.

"I can do it! Honey, let me do it. Everyone is busy and I guess they need an extra hand."

And there she goes again. Jacob thought internally.

J had removed bullets before multiple times under the supervision and approval of Dr. Aaron so she has quite familiarized herself with that procedure. While when it comes to suturing, she could say that she is already an expert being an OR Nurse that does the suturing most of the time.

"I'll do it," Jacob said. "Go and tend to the other patients." Then he gives an order to the doctor. Thou he is confident of his wife's capabilities, he wouldn't let her tire herself in doing things that he could do himself.

J wanted to object but upon realizing that she had already gone against her husband's words a couple of times today she decided to be a real obedient wife for once. At least for now.

Taking the bullet from the young boy's calf is a simple procedure. Jacob only needs to dive in and grab it.

J helped him clean the area.

Once the area is cleaned. Jacob grabs a bullet extractor and prepared to extract the bullet from the young boy's calf.

"Wait! You're not going to inject him with anesthesia?" J looked at him with a flustered expression.

Jacob looked at her with amusement. "Honey, we do not need anesthesia in just a simple bullet removal." He said casually.

"What?!" J knew that removing a bullet from a muscle without anesthesia could be extremely painful.

"Miss J, we can even remove bullets from our own body without using any tools," Felix noted on the side.

"Honey, he had undergone intensive training so I am sure he can endure the pain," Jacob said in a matter of fact tone.

"Miss, I can do it." The young boy although paled nodded his head at J to reassure her.

And without waiting for her reply, Jacob dug in the young boy's wound and grabs the bullet from his muscle.

"It's done." In less done an hour, Jacob had pulled out the bullet and placed it in a kidney basin.

Out of curiosity, Stefan checked out the bullet to find out what kind of gun it is from.

"A 9x19mm Parabellum Caliber. Probably comes from a pistol since I didn't saw anyone used a submachine gun." Stefan stated. Felix as well takes a look and recognized the bullet as well.

"I'll do the suturing." J is already holding a needle holder with a suture on it and a toothed forceps which means no one can object.

"Okay. I'll just go and check around." Jacob nodded his head then turns to look at Arthur. "Keep her company." He said which is a much better way to say 'keep an eye on her'.

At this moment, the young boy felt elated having his Boss and the heiress both taking care of his wound.
