Emmeline wiped away Abel's sweat again. This time, she offered him a kiss herself. For solace.

CHING.

The scalpel hit a metallic object. The bullet, undoubtedly.

"I found it, Mr. Abel. Bear with me. I'll dig it out now."

"Okay." Abel nodded.

Luca took a deep breath and cut deeper into the wound.

"Tsss." Abel sucked his teeth.

As Luca continued the operation, Abel's face twitched uncontrollably.

"Kiss me," Abel blurted out. Emmeline was stunned. "Kiss me, Emmeline."

Emmeline offered her lips once more. It wasn't just a peck. It was much longer than that. Abel grabbed onto Emmeline, his tongue entangled with Emmeline's.

With one last push, Luca managed to dislodge the bullet from Abel's wound. He then passed out.

Hearing the loud thud, the couple stopped kissing. Blood was gushing out of the wounds. Surreptitiously, Emmeline stabbed at a few acupoints with the pin while she pretended to be looking at Abel's wound. The bleeding subsided almost immediately. She then proceeded to put a dressing on Abel's wound.

"Mr. Abel... Are you all right?" Luca regained consciousness moments later.

"So you truly faint at the sight of the blood?" Abel mocked.

"No, I... I... faint at the sight of PDA," Luca stammered.

Suddenly, Abel received a call from Benjamin. He picked it up.

"Mr. Abel, how are you?" asked Benjamin.

"I'm fine," said Abel hoarsely.

"You can't visit a hospital now. I took the liberty to find you a surgeon who can take the bullet out."
