Chapter 1459
The basement was small and empty. There was nothing around him.
He fumbled in his pockets and pulled out a lighter, a fruit knife, a nail clipper, and...a vial containing the
successful sample.
Austin's habit of carrying a fruit knife with him might be a turning point.
Then, he tore open his trousers and revealed his gunshot wound. The blood had already dried up, but
the wound looked horrible. This was the first time he had ever been shot.
When practicing medicine, he had previously treated someone with a gunshot wound. That man was a
gangster, and with a glance, Austin could tell that he was a ruthless man. It was a coincidence that he
had met him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe man was shot and refused to go to the hospital. Lucky for him, he bumped into Austin, who helped
him take out the bullet, which saved the man's life in return.
That incident passed so quickly that it didn't leave a mark on his life. Who would have thought that one
day he would have to pull a bullet out of his gunshot wound?
Checking his wound, Austin let out a sigh of relief when he realized that no major blood vessels had
been injured.
Otherwise, he would have died a long time ago. After taking another look, he knew he could no longer
hesitate, despite how scared he was.
He burned the tip of the fruit knife with the lighter as a way of disinfection before pointing it to his flesh...
This procedure would have been easier if he had done it on someone else instead of himself.
After two attempts, he still couldn't get himself to go through with the removal. Finally, he removed his
coat, folded it, and stuffed it into his mouth.
Then he aimed the knife at this wound again. Through gritted teeth, he pierced the blade directly into
his wound
The piercing pain that shot through his body almost made him drop the knife, but he knew that to
survive, he would have to get this over with. Gripping the knife tightly in his hand, he forced his eyes
open and dug into his flesh.
The pain was so extreme that he began sweating profusely. There was no anesthetic. All he could rely
on was his willpower to hold on.
Once he hit the hard surface of the bullet, he twisted his knife and dug the bullet out.
In an instant, he breathed a sigh of relief. Then, with what little strength he had left, he cut a piece of
clothing and tied it around his wound.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSoon, the blood stopped flowing. He stared at the bullet on the ground, relieved that it was over.
However, Austin's body was drained from the blood loss and the pain he had just endured. He couldn't
bear it anymore as his head fell to the side, and he eventually passed out.
After Lily left, Dominic returned to his backyard and sat on his wicker chair with the fan blowing in his
direction. He squinted his eyes and looked into the distance.
The mountains and rivers were scenic. The birds were chirping, and the flowers let out a fragrant smell.
He had been peacefully living like this for years. However, it was human nature to be dissatisfied. The
world seemed to be at war again.
Reaching for the teacup next to him, he suddenly thought of what Lily had said. Did the research
institute have something to do with the plague? Would that idiot, Austin, be a part of it?
Although Dominic did not like Austin very much, he was still a Fike. Even if he were problematic, he
would always visit Dominic.
After thinking about this, Dominic reached out to find his cell before making a call.
