Chapter 1560: 1559 aren’t you scared?
“But…” Mia’s leg throbbed painfully, “Honorable Mrs. Hai Wei, if you go to sleep, what about my leg?”
“I don’t treat ugly people.” Mrs. Hai Wei slightly opened her mouth and yawned, “You can stay here until dawn, and after sunrise, you can go find someone else to treat you.”
“Didn’t you just agree to treat her?” Tan Rou suddenly said, “How can you go back on a promise?”
Mrs. Hai Wei glanced at her and then asked, “When did I promise to treat her?”
Tan Rou said, “You just said that you would let her wash the paint off her face and then let her come to see you, have you forgotten?”
“Hehe.” Mrs. Hai Wei covered her mouth and chuckled, “I only said to let her come see me, I didn’t say I would treat her. This is my territory; do I need you to make decisions for me?”
Tan Rou wanted to say something more but Mia stopped her, Mia said, “Thank you Mrs. Hai Wei, I’m grateful that you are willing to offer us a place to rest. Since it’s your rest time, we don’t want to disturb you, so we won’t trouble you further.”
After hearing this, Mrs. Hai Wei went upstairs to sleep without looking back.
“You let her go to sleep, what about your wound?” Tan Rou asked, “Do you really plan to wait until tomorrow morning to deal with it?”
“No,” Mia said, “Time is almost running out, I feel like the blood in my body is about to run out. If the lady cannot perform surgery on me, then I will do it myself.”
Her face was painted, so Tan Rou couldn’t make out her complexion, but judging by her exhausted expression, she probably wouldn’t last much longer.
Tan Rou helped her down to the floor and then said, “I’ve learned a bit of medicine; I can help you extract this bullet. But I’m not sure if there’s any anesthesia here, so you’ll need to endure it, okay?”
Mia did not doubt Tan Rou. Having someone else operate was better than doing it herself, as she really didn’t have the strength to dig the bullet out, “I’m troubling you once again.”
Tan Rou nonchalantly said, “It’s fine, I’m used to being bothered by people.”
Although she spoke about directly removing the bullet from Mia’s calf, Tan Rou still asked Ina to look for Mrs. Hai Wei’s medical kit. Ina found not only the medical kit but also a surgical table and a sickbed.
With this equipment, it became easier for Tan Rou to handle the wound. Back when she was in the lab, she had learned how to treat gunshot wounds because they needed to handle guns. Having guns meant possible injuries, so they had to learn to treat gunshot wounds; otherwise, they could die from an infection.
Mia lay on the operation table, her leg had gone numb, not from the gunshot but because of the anesthesia.
After disinfecting, Tan Rou was ready to extract the bullet from Mia, but there was another person watching, fixated on the scalpel, seemingly eager to give it a try.
Tan Rou said, “Ina, we are about to start the surgery. Can you go outside and play for a while?”
Ina refused the arrangement, saying, “Pretty big sister, may I stay here?”
Tan Rou asked, “Ina, the scene that follows will be very bloody, are you not scared?”
Ina blinked her bright big eyes and smilingly said to Tan Rou, “Ina isn’t scared, Ina loves scenes like this the most.”
Ina’s words made Mia’s hair stand on end, and she couldn’t help but ask, “Why is this little girl so strange? Is she really not scared at all?”
Mia had never met Ina; she didn’t know about the eerie aspects of Ina, but Tan Rou had seen Ina, and she had guessed that Ina was not a normal person, so she was much calmer.
“Don’t worry, I won’t let her operate,” Tan Rou said while holding the scalpel and hemostat, “I don’t know whether she is scared or not, but I think you will be, so please close your eyes. I don’t want to hear you cry out.”
Mia defiantly said, “I, I won’t cry out!”
Tan Rou glanced at her and then waved the scalpel in front of her eyes.
