Shot
"Mr. Lierger, your fever has subsided. When you recover completely, we can kick her out, " Charles assured him carefully.
"I've sent someone to contact that elderly doctor. He'll do his best to bring the good doctor here as soon as possible. We can ask that doctor to treat you using acupuncture and feed you your medicine while Dr. Feroma watches from aside, " Harrison reported.
He had already started making the arrangements.
"Get out, " Daemon ordered in irritation.
"But—" Charles was about to protest when Harrison stopped him. "All right. We shall excuse ourselves now."
After shutting the door behind them, Charles asked in a low voice, "What was that? We can't leave Mr. Lierger alone in his room. What if he gets a fever again?"
"If Mr. Lierger feels unwell, he'll summon us, " came Harrison's answer. "He wants to be alone now, so let's not disturb him."
"All right." Charles nodded. "Our priority is to find that girl. After finding her, Mr. Lierger will return to Erihal."
"That's right. After today's events, Pastor won't give up. He might take action soon, so we need to leave as soon as possible."
"Mm. I'll go dig for more clues regarding the girl."
"Sure."
Charles was about to leave when his phone rang. It was a call from Clark. "Charles, we've been ambushed by Pastor's men."
"Where are you?"
"I've sent you the address. Please send backup."
"I'll be there right away."
Charles promptly gathered his men to help them out.
Harrison reminded him, "Bring more men and be careful. Don't expose our whereabouts."
"I know." Charles left in a haste.
It began to pour outside.
Strangely, Harrison felt uneasy. I wish Mr. Lierger can leave M Nation soon and return to Erihal. Otherwise, his presence is inevitably going to spark a bloodbath.
Derila was sleeping so soundly that she didn't realize her phone was vibrating. Anthony gave her a few calls, but she didn't answer them.
The next morning, Derila was woken up rudely by someone knocking on her door urgently. "Dr. Feroma? Dr. Feroma, wake up!"
"What is it?" Derila snapped.
I didn't get to sleep well for the past few days!
"Dr. Feroma, Prince William was shot. He's in a dangerous situation, so please take a look at him!" the maid urged.
Derila jolted awake at once. She scrambled out of bed and open the door hastily without even putting her slippers on. "What happened?"
"Prince William was attacked when he was heading to the airport last night. Mr. Charles rushed there to save them, but Prince William has been shot…"
The maid led her to the guest room while explaining the entire situation.
"Where was he shot? Is it life-threatening?"
As Derila spoke, Daemon stepped out of the room.
Their gazes met. Daemon immediately looked away coolly.
Derila rolled her eyes and hurried into the guest room.
William was lying in bed weakly, his face pale from losing too much blood. His Whyte suit was stained red by his blood.
"Your Highness, hang on. Dr. Feroma will be here soon, " Clark comforted him anxiously.
"Dr. Feroma, hurry!" After spotting her, Harrison dragged her to the bed. "Prince William was shot, and the bullet is still inside his body."
"Get out of my way."
Derila immediately checked William's wound and realized the bullet was inches away from his heart.
Her brows scrunched up as she ordered, "Get me my medical kit."
"Yes." Kerrie brought over the medical kit as told.
Derila put on gloves and used a pair of sterilized scissors to cut William's clothes open. She was prepared to remove the bullet for him.
At the same time, she said, "He's losing too much blood, so we'll have to get him to the hospital to get a blood transfusion."
"He can't go to the hospital now, " Harrison answered hastily. "Pastor's men are looking for us."
