“With so many groups on this ship, you shouldn’t be stirring up such trouble.”
Hannah arched an eyebrow. “Aren’t you the one who should be more concerned about yourself?”
She stood to examine Bryson’s abdomen wound, but he quickly reached out, grabbing her arm.
Bryson’s sudden move triggered the pain in his abdomen once more!
His face grew pale. “I’m okay.”

“Really? You think you’re okay? Stop kidding yourself!” Hannah’s tone changed to one of seriousness. She pushed away Bryson’s_ hand, commanding, “Stay still!”
She grabbed the scissors nearby and swiftly cut through the bandage.
Examining his abdomen wound, Hannah’s brows knitted in concern. “The bullet’s still in there! Bandages alone won’t help! The wound’s going to get infected! Didn’t you know that?”
“I know,” Bryson responded quietly. “I couldn’t take out the bullet myself. And Caleb, he was too scared to try anything without painkillers.”
“I’ll handle it,” Hannah said calmly, getting her gloves on and sterilizing the scalpel and other supplies Caleb had found. “But we’re out of painkillers. You’ll have to tough it out.”
Bryson just nodded in agreement.
Hannah disinfected her hands, then pressed down on his abdomen.

Her fingers were cold, pressing directly on the wound. Bryson caught his breath suddenly.
He clenched his teeth, holding back any reaction, fighting the pain.
“Don’t worry, this’ll be over soon.”
Bryson, despite the sweat on his forehead, grinned and asked, “You think I’m scared of a little pain?”
Hannah concentrated on his wound and cautiously incised the skin.
Bryson, watching her, said in a deep voice, “You know, you’re quite turning me on like this.”
At Bryson’s bold flirtation, Hannah almost paused in her work.
“Bryson, keep it up, and I might just push that bullet in deeper!”
Then, she cleaned around the wound with alcohol-soaked cotton.
Hannah’s movements were steady and quick as she operated.
Soon, she spotted the bullet. Gently, she extracted it with tweezers.
The bullet hitting the metal tray was a sound of relief for Hannah.
