Coolest Girl in Town

Chapter 950 Drawing Fire on Yourself

After taking a one-year postnatal break, Elise had been idle since. She used the free time to learn modern medical treatment, and though her proficiency in the field hadn’t reached the point where she could bring back the dead, a small operation like this was easy as pie for her.

Feeling ashamed, Jamie said, “As I would expect from my Boss. Not only are you better than me, but you are also more hardworking. It seems like I will never be able to surpass you.”

“Stop yapping and help me save a life.” The operation ended after two hours.

“There’s no injury to the internal organs, but he has suffered severe blood loss. The wound has been stitched up, so the rest is up to him,” Elise explained while taking off her surgical gloves.

“Will he survive?” Since it took them quite a while to get here, Jamie was worried about Paul’s condition.

“If he wakes up, he will.” Not daring to make any big talk, Elise could only give a conservative answer.

“Gale is so ruthless,” Alexander spoke up from beside them.

“I haven’t even said anything yet. How did you know it was Gale?” Jamie asked.

“That’s because I have brains.”

Jamie was rendered speechless. That’s discreetly calling me stupid.

Actually, Alexander wasn’t to blame because, with his in-depth investigation of the Heidelbergs and the long operation time, it would be an insult to his intelligence if he couldn’t figure out the truth.

On the other hand, Jamie deserved to get reprimanded because he already knew Alexander was more intelligent than ordinary people, yet he still asked such a stupid question.

After listening to their conversation, Elise smiled meaningfully and teased Jamie, “You seem quite attentive toward Gale’s matters.”

“Of course, it’s all for—” Jamie stopped talking as he realized he almost made a slip of the tongue and quickly changed his speech. “It’s all for my friends. Narissa is my friend, and I just made friends with Alicia too. So, no matter the reason, I can’t just stand by and do nothing. What’s more, it isn’t our character to watch this happen and do nothing.”

His words were very righteous as if he did all this for the sake of his friendship and nothing else.

“If that’s so, are you doing all of this for Narissa or Alicia?” Being the rubberneck, Alexander deliberately dug a hole for Jamie to jump.

“Both of them.” Jamie seemed unfazed. “They’re both my friends, so I should be fair with them.”
