Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle

Chapter 3202 All This Happened Because Of Me

If he had been able to shoot at that moment, he would have taken out those mercenaries in the first place. He was also in a good position for an attack at that time.

Ultimately, Gordan's injury was partly his responsibility. If it were not for protecting him, Gordan would not have been exposed to the mercenaries.

Gale sat there, replaying the scene over and over in his mind, still regretting not having fired.

All the police officers were focused on his situation back then. If Gale had shot, it would have been difficult for Luke to explain things to the police.

"It's all my fault!" muttered Gale, taking all the blame on himself.

Rain knew he felt guilty and heaved a sigh.

Luke watched the two of them, who were affected by Gordan's situation. He remained silent, knowing that Gordan's condition was still uncertain and all they could do was wait.

Two hours later, the operating room door opened, and Johann came out.

'The surgery was successful. Here's the bullet." Johann held up a sealed bag containing a bullet.

Since the police did not know Gordan's identity, the extracted bullet did not need to be handed over to them.

Gale took the bag and examined the bullet. He glanced at it and said, "A 5.56 caliber bullet. They were using G36 assault rifles." Everyone turned to look at him.

'The countries that use the G36 the most are the UK and Spain. Their armies prefer this gun, so when their veterans become mercenaries, they often use this gun. So..."

Gale did not finish his sentence. He suspected the mercenaries came from these two countries. Then, he asked Johann, "How's Gordan?"

Johann was not familiar with firearms, but he was an expert in medicine." Consider him lucky. When I started the surgery, I realized the bullet had gone through his upper arm and was lodged in the bone without penetrating it.

"The main nerves weren't damaged, but there's still some injury. He'll need rehabilitation to fully recover. Luckily, you have a dry- needling expert around. Perhaps Dr. Craw can help."

"Alright, when will he be out?" asked Luke.

"In a little while. The anesthesia hasn't worn off yet," replied Johann. As he recalled the surgery, he added, "I must say, Gordan is stubborn. He refused to take general anesthesia even when he needed surgery. I was totally speechless."

Johann complained as he remembered the scenes in the operating room.

When Johann asked why Gordan would not accept general anesthesia, his answer was simple and blunt.

"You know what? When I asked why he wouldn't go under, he said he was worried he wouldn't wake up in case of danger...'

Luke was not as frustrated as Johann. He explained it on behalf of Gordan, "He's been through too many dangers. That's why he doesn't want to be in a fully unconscious state."

"I get that, but this is a hospital. What danger could there be? I was puzzled and persuaded him for a long time. Finally, I told him that his hand would be useless due to blood loss without surgery, and he agreed to use general

anesthesia..." continued Johann.

Only after the anesthesia took effect and Gordan was fully quiet could Johann focus on the surgery.

He was not exaggerating about the danger. The bullet's path and the depth it was lodged in the bone could not be seen on the scans. He had to operate to see what was really going on inside.

"Dr. Park, when can we see him?" asked Gale.

"You can't go in. He'll be taken to his ward once he wakes up. You should go to the ward instead. By the way, even though his injury doesn't need special care, someone still needs to stay with him tonight.

"He just underwent general anesthesia and needs to lie down for eight hours. Some people have strong reactions to the anesthetic, so someone must stay with him. I'll hand him over to another doctor since I won't be here," explained Johann.

He was not a doctor working at this hospital, but Luke decided to bring the patient here to keep things low-key and then had Johann come over to perform the surgery.

Luke knew the hospital director, who agreed to admit the patient and arranged for medical staff to assist with the surgery. It was similar to how the Mallory family had arranged for Pierre.

"Alright, we'll go to the room and wait." Luke nodded. Although Luke remained expressionless, he was relieved to know that Gordan was fine.

As for the follow-up treatment, Luca would surely offer help without needing to be asked. He had not informed Luca about Gordan being shot to avoid making her feel guilty. Especially since Matysh was after her.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

If Matysh had not come to A City, none of this would have happened.

Luke knew Luca would feel guilty, but he could not say much. Luke had no choice but to head to the VIP room with Gale and Rain.

They had the director announce that Gordan was admitted for a fracture surgery. The assistants, nurses, and anesthetist involved were all trusted by the director. Hence, they would keep the secret.

As they entered the VIP ward, Luke received a message from Luca: [I saw a news report saying someone got shot. Who was it? Even though she was in the lab, she had been watching Matysh's live broadcast.

Before the court session, the media

reported that someone was shot

om

during the transfer of a prisoner. She quickly picked up on the news that someone had been shot and knew it was not a police officer.

The media would have specified if it were a police officer. Since the person who was shot was not an officer, it had to be one of the operatives.

Luca immediately thought it must be

one of Luke's subordinates. Even

om

though she was not directly involved N.Q

in this incident, she would feel

responsible and upset if someone was injured because of her. The

Therefore, when she saw the news, she messaged Luke to find out who was hurt and how severe the injury was.

Luke: [It's Gordan. He just got out of

surgery. The bullet hit his arm but missed any mafor nerves. With a bit

of rehab, he'll be back to normal.] Read

Luca: [Mr. Norton? Which hospital are you at? I'll take the afternoon off to visit him.]

Luca felt guilty. If it were not for Matysh's interest in her, none of this would have happened.

However, she also knew that everything seemed inevitable. If Matysh had not come to A City for her, Marcos would not have

come either.

Sarah would not have reunited with her son...

It seemed like all these were meant to happen. Luca knew she could not blame herself.

Luke: [You don't have to come. I'll be here, and he's out of danger after the surgery.]

Luke understood her concern.

Luca: [How can I sit in the lab and work when all this happened because of me? Luke, please let me come and see him.]

Luca insisted on going after she read Luke's message.
