poisonous. If it were to sting Nate before it died, things are going to get dicey. Open his mouth wider, please. He’s biting on my fingers, and I can’t work like this.”At that point, the members of the Fraser family were willing to listen to whatever Winnie had to say. Moments later, Winnie pulled out a half-finger-length, two-finger-width dead hornet from Nate’s throat.Everyone at the scene was stunned when they saw the size of the dead hornet.Beatrice’s face turned pale in an instant. “That’s a big hornet! It’s very poisonous, right? Where’s the ambulance? Why isn’t the ambulance here yet?”Winnie took the flashlight from Kevin and looked inside Nate’s mouth. After touching Nate’s throat gently, she uttered in a serious tone, “There’s another one in his windpipe. He needs an operation now to stay alive. If we wait, he might not survive this. If you guys want him to live, you can’t wait for the ambulance. By the time it gets here, he would be long gone.”“An operation?” Beatrice glanced at her husband and looked at Winnie. “Who’s going to perform the operation? We don’t have a doctor present. What operation are you talking about? Is it risky?”“It’s a tracheotomy,” Winnie explained calmly. “It’s actually quite common. I’ve done it when I was in the wilderness. The situation was so urgent that we couldn’t wait for the doctor to come.”At that moment, Nate’s situation was just as urgent. He could barely breathe on his own anymore. Without a tracheotomy, he only had three minutes left to live.“Are you confident in performing the operation?” Beatrice was at a loss. She turned toward her husband and said, “Jonathan, make a decision, will you? Nate is running out of breath.”Jonathan was so nervous that he was sweating bullets. However, he quickly came to a decision. “Ms. Garland, if you’re able to perform the operation, please save Nate’s life. If he lives, you’ll be our family’s savior!”“What if something goes wrong and Nate dies?” With a calm expression, Winnie asked, “What is the Fraser family going to do to me?”Jonathan frowned slightly but remained firm. “If he dies, it has nothing to do with you, Ms. Garland! At least you’re trying to save Nate.”Winnie nodded and whipped out her phone to wave it in front of their faces. “You meant what you said, right? I’ve recorded it, Mr. Fraser. If something bad were to happen, I hope the Fraser family will honor those words.”With that, she started ordering the others around.As a matter of fact, she was very confident in performing such a minor operation. Back then, she had already learned it when she went to the wilderness for survival training with other members of the family. This kind of emergency operation is as common to me as CPR and bandaging someone up.“Now, hurry up and find something to put under his shoulders. I want his head to lean backward. After that, I need you guys to work together. One of you should hold his head still and straight to prevent him from moving. Someone needs to bring the first aid kit to me. I need rubbing alcohol and a straw. I also need gauze. Quick!” Winnie ordered.“Okay!” “Right away!”“By the way, someone please go and check on my granny. I need to know that she’s safe and sound,” Winnie uttered.“Okay, Mrs. Fairchild!” a housekeeper answered immediately. “I’ll go now!”Shortly after, Nate was held in position. Rubbing alcohol, a straw, and gauze were also brought to Winnie.The only thing they didn’t have was a scalpel because the first aid kit didn’t have a scalpel in it. Fortunately, Winnie had two scalpels in her acupuncture kit.Winnie hurriedly took out one scalpel and disinfected it. Her movements were swift and precise. Within seconds, she made the incision and inserted the disinfected straw into his windpipe.At that point, the operation was half-completed.She then needed to remove everything that was blocking his windpipe. That included a hornet and bloody sputum.However, the conditions there were rudimentary, and it was incomparable to a hospital. She had no machine, so she could only suck out those things with her mouth.Upon taking a deep breath, she leaned down toward Nate.With all her strength, she sucked the dead hornet out of his windpipe.As a consequence, she choked herself. It was a slightly smaller hornet, so it almost went down her throat.After spitting the hornet out, she felt discomfort in her throat. Even so, she knew the priority was to save Nate’s life.Once again, she leaned down toward him to suck out the bloody sputum and secretions stuck in Nate’s windpipe.In fact, Nate could already breathe on his own the moment the hornet was sucked out.Although he almost died of choking, he was aware of what was happening around him.Suddenly, he opened his eyes and slightly parted his lips.Straightaway, he saw Winnie sucking the secretions out of his windpipe without minding it being disgusting. That’s Winnie, no? She’s my enemy. Why is she doing this?Nate moved his lips. Right when he was about to open his mouth, Winnie stopped him and said, “Don’t talk! Just keep breathing the fresh air. Don’t harm your throat even more!”However, Nate wasn’t just going to back down. Even though he couldn’t utter a word, he could still move his hands. He ended up shoving Winnie aside when she was about to intubate him.In response, Winnie glared at him and fumed, “You don’t want me to save your life, do you? I’m just doing this for your mom’s sake, okay? Do you think I’m doing this for you?”Once she had bandaged him and intubated him, the operation was completed.Seeing that their son was alive, Beatrice and Jonathan immediately expressed their gratitude toward Winnie.Winnie wiped the blood off of her hands and uttered flatly, “Get him to lie down flat and wait for the ambulance.”With that, she was ready to leave the scene. The moment she stood up, she saw that the courtyard where Rufus lived was ablaze with fire. In fact, the flame was burning brightly, and it dyed half of the sky red.From afar, people were shouting, “Fire! Fire! Send help to put out the fire!”Winnie frowned immediately. Beatrice
