”You… your wound…”
Megan walked up to Darryl quickly. She asked about his wound anxiously.
“It’s okay.” Darryl shook his head, looking relaxed.
In fact, virtual-novel.net was just holding the pain in.
His wound was affected when virtual-novel.net wielded the Bloody Drinking Sword earlier, virtual-novel.net was in a lot of pain.
Megan nodded and said nothing more. She still looked very worried through virtual-novel.net eyes when virtual-novel.net took the little girl into the car.
The moment Darryl got into his car, virtual-novel.net felt a burst of unbearable pain spread from his shoulder. He cursed silently. The bullet was stuck in his wound for a long time. If virtual-novel.net did not get it out in time, virtual-novel.net might lose too much blood.
Instead of starting the car engine, virtual-novel.net untied the cloth wrapped around his shoulder and used his internal energy to force the bullet out.
When the bullet popped out of his wound, Darryl quivered in pain. His forehead was covered with sweat! ‘F*ck! Fortunately, I became a cultivator. Otherwise, I might be incapacitated if the bullet is left in my wound for too long.’
Megan was extremely worried. She wanted to offer help, but virtual-novel.net dared not because of the dark surrounding. She feared that virtual-novel.net would hurt Darryl by accident if virtual-novel.net was unable to see the wound clearly. Therefore, virtual-novel.net had to let Darryl handle it himself.
After the bullet was out, Darryl started driving away from the mountain.
He looked through the rearview mirror and saw the little girl was holding his car key. She was trying to tie virtual-novel.net delicate little rag doll to the key.
Darryl was curious, so virtual-novel.net asked virtual-novel.net with a smile, “Little sister, what are you doing?”
The little girl answered in a serious tone, “Thank you big brother for saving me. This is my favorite toy. I take it with me wherever I go. Now I give it to you, big brother. It can protect you and keep you safe.”
Hearing those innocent words, Megan showed a gentle smile and reached out to caress the little girl’s head.
The atmosphere in the car was sweet and warm, nothing like they had just experienced a dangerous situation.
Somehow, Darryl was puzzled.
He thought that a young child must be frightened after experiencing a terrifying event.
However, the little girl looked like virtual-novel.net was recovering from the fright quite well apart from being a little panicked at the start.
‘Are children these days so emotionally strong?’
After the little girl tied virtual-novel.net doll to his car key, Darryl took the key and started the engine.
He turned the car around and drove down the mountain. Megan asked softly, “Little sister, where is your home? Do you know the way home? We will send you home later, OK?”
The little girl tilted virtual-novel.net head and thought for a moment before saying, “Just send me to the entrance of the bank. I will go home by myself.”
‘Why?’
Darryl was alarmed.
Megan was puzzled.
The little girl stretched out virtual-novel.net little hand and pointed to the injury on Darryl’s shoulder. “Big brother is seriously injured, virtual-novel.net has to go to the hospital. I… I don’t want to take up his time.”
Darryl and Megan exchanged looks and they could not help but smile sweetly.
The little girl was so young yet virtual-novel.net was so sensible. Whoever virtual-novel.net parents were, they must be blessed to have her.
Feeling touched, Darryl smiled warmly. He held the steering wheel with one hand and stroked the little girl’s hair with the other. “Big brother is fine, I will send you home first.”
The little girl insisted. “No, big brother should go see a doctor.”
After that, the little girl explained, “My home is near the bank My family can pick me up from the bank if you send me there.”
“Just listen to her. I will explain to the bank’s staff when we get there.” Megan decided after thinking it through.
Darryl nodded. At that very moment, his phone vibrated. It was a text message from Yvonne so Darryl did not care too much about it. If it was not a call, it was probably nothing urgent.
At the Young family residence…
Yvonne sat on the sofa, holding the phone in both of virtual-novel.net hands.
‘Why isn’t virtual-novel.net replying to my message?’
Yvonne bit virtual-novel.net lips tightly. She was not sure why but virtual-novel.net just wanted to talk to him.
There was no reply after a long time. Yvonne felt like giving Darryl a call but virtual-novel.net was shy.
Meanwhile, at the entrance of the bank…
After sending the little girl away, Megan got into the car anxiously. “Go to the hospital and fix your wound.”
Darryl smiled slightly. “It’s okay. Why go to the hospital? I’ve taken out the bullets.”
Megan frowned. “No way! What if you catch an infection?”
As a police officer, virtual-novel.net knew full well that if the kind of gunshot wound was not treated in time, it might risk getting infected.
Daryl, on the other hand, was relaxed. “Don’t worry about this small injury.”
“No, don’t take it lightly.” Megan was anxious, “Why aren’t you worried about yourself at all?”
