After an anxious wait of more than ten seconds, the call connected.

She hurriedly inquired, “Honey, have you returned?”

The absence of the rain’s patter led Millie to believe he was no longer outside, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

Meanwhile, a doctor approached Marcus with an examination report.

“Mr. Thomas, the bullet struck the main artery in the patient’s lungs, causing significant bleeding. He’s in a deep coma. I must warn you, the chance of survival is minimal.”

Marcus’ voice was unwavering as he ordered, “Save him, no matter what.”

The doctor hesitated.

“Mr. Thomas, this is extremely challenging.”

“Enough,” Harlan’s voice cut in.

“Perform the surgery immediately.

Understanding the gravity of the gunshot wound, the doctor nodded, perspiration on his brow.

“Don’t worry. I understand.”

“What’s going on? You’re injured, aren’t you?”

Marcus reassured her, “Derek’s the one who’s injured. I’m fine. Don’t worry. I’ll accompany him to the operating room.”

Upon hearing of Derek’s injury, Millie’s thoughts seemed to freeze.

It had only been a few hours since he had taken her home.

“Okay.”

Derek had been Marcus’ loyal companion for years, risking his life on his behalf. Marcus would do everything in his power to save him.

The operating room door closed, leaving Marcus in the corridor, worry etched on his face as the doctor began Derek’s surgery with trepidation.

Harlan approached, his voice soft.
