When the three of them had calmed down,they started chatting for a long time.
Brandon returned to his room by himself.As soon as he shut the door,his face darkened.
When he reached out and touched the wound on his waist, his fingertips were wet,streaked with blood.
Leaning against the couch,Brandon closed his eyes wearily, sweat beading on his forehead.
Earlier he had been so busy looking for Natalie that he hadn’t had time to worry about his own injury.Now that he had calmed down,he began to feel the pain in his waist.Even every breath he took was hurting him.
With a deep breath,Brandon endured the pain and tore the gauze apart.As expected,blood was oozing out from his wound.It seemed like it had reopened due to his great haste just now.
However,it didn’t matter to him as long as Natalie was safe.
Expressionless,Brandon was about to apply medicine to it when he heard a knock on the door.Before he could say anything,the door was pushed open rudely.
Garrett came in with Frank,not caring about the murderous look in Brandon’s eyes.
Furrowing his brows,Brandon you doing here?”
Pointing at the wound on his waist,Garrett shook his head helplessly and said,”I knew you wouldn’t take care of yourself properly just to find Natalie back,so Ive brought Frank here to apply the medicine for you.”
Lowering his eyes,Brandon looked at his wound and said in a low voice,”1 can deal with it myself.
“Look at how severe it has become.If you don’t treat it well,.
it will only worsen your condition,”Garrett said worriedly, beckoning Frank over.Quick,check on him.”
“Mr.Larson.Ill need to stitch up your wound so that it doesn’t open up again and get infected,”Frank said.
The moment Garrett heard that a stitch was needed.he shouted,”How can you still be so calm when your wound is going to be stitched?”
Brandon frowned deeper.He was already in a bad mood today,and now Garrett’s voice was rattling his cage even more.
However,Garrett wasn’t sensible at all.While nagging,he pressed Brandon onto the bed and said,”Be good and receive your treatment right now.Let the stitches teach you a lesson for not taking good care of your body.”
Staring at him indifferently,Brandon uttered,”Shut up.”
Garrett didn’t say anything more and signaled to Frank to deal with the wound as soon as possible.
“I didn’t bring any anesthetic with me.You probably need to endure the pain this time,”Frank said as he stepped forward with his medical kit.
“What?You have no anesthetics?”Garrett shouted before Brandon could say anything.”A non-anesthetic suture is going to kill him!Let me ask my men to look for some now.
Which type of anesthetics doyou need:inhalation or injection?”
As Garrett spoke,he took out his phone.However,Brandon raised his hand to stop him.”No,thanks.Just stitch it directly.”His voice was toneless.
“Um…”Although Frank had been around in the medical field for many years,he was still a little hesitant at the moment.
“Are you sure you can bear it?Judging from your wound,it’s going to need ten stitches,at least.”
Frank could imagine how painful it was going to be.
Sparing a glance at Frank,Brandon didn’t say anything more.
Well,his message was clear.
Letting out a sigh,Frank began to stitch the wound.
It was a torturous process.Even Garrett couldn’t bear to continue watching it.On the contrary,although Brandon was covered in sweat,he remained silent the whole time.
After an indeterminate amount of time had passed,Frank was finally done with the suture.When he had finished packing up his medical kit,he looked at Brandon,who was clearly in pain but remained expressionless.
Flitting his eyes to Garrett,he asked in confusion,”What on earth have you gone through here?Why is Mr.Larson so quiet now?He didn’t even cry out despite the agonizing pain.”
Instead of teasing Brandon with Frank,Garrett suddenly became serious and said,”Shut up.Ill come here to change the dressing for Brandon every day.Stop prying about other things.”
Frank hadn’t anticipated that there was a genuine matter concealed within this situation,which caused the typically jovial Garrett to approach it with gravity.
Frank was a considerate individual.Despite his curiosity,he refrained from probing further.Instead,he inquired sincerely, “Is there anything else I can assist with here?”
Garrett hesitated to assign a task to Frank haphazardly,He glanced at Brandon,who was leaning against the headboard, gesturing for him to delegate the responsibility.
After a night of turmoil,Brandon appeared somewhat drained, his eyes heavy with exhaustion.He instructed faintly,”Just monitor the results of Natalie’s medical examination.If anything unusual crops up,inform me immediately.”
Frank nodded with conviction.”Rest assured.I won’t let anything happen to her.”
“Alright,”responded Brandon tersely,offering no additional commentary.
However,Frank was still intensely curious about the events Frank hadn’t anticipated that there was a genuine matter concealed within this situation,which caused the typically jovial Garrett to approach it with gravity.

However,Frank was still intensely curious about the events that had transpired between Brandon and Garrett recently.
Despite his desire to stay,it was clear the others were reluctant to divulge any details.
Noting Frank’s intent gaze fixed on him and Garrett,and his apparent unwillingness to leave,Brandon deduced that Frank’s curiosity was at itspeak.If he didn’t share something, Frank might linger the entire night.
So,he briefly informed Frank about his actions to obliterate Jeremys stronghold and launch an attack on Jeremys hideout.
Hearing this,Franks eyes sparked with interest,and he remarked,”I never thought you would be leading such a perilous life these past few months.”
Garrett,who had also participated in the siege on Jeremy’s hideout,quickly chimed in,bragging,”You have no idea!I was so formidable then;I took down more than a dozen of Jeremy’s men single-handedly …”
“Stop!Spare those tall tales for the children.”Frank dismissed Garrett’s boastful heroics.He looked expectantly at Brandon,questioning,”So,what about Jeremy’s drugs.”
Brandon regarded him intently before revealing,”The drugs that Jeremy accumulated have been preserved.If you wish.
you can take them for research at any time.”
At this,Franks eyes lit up instantly.Ever since he learned about the enigmatic pharmacist,he’d been intrigued by Jeremy and the drugs he had developed.To him,these substances were priceless.He was astonished that Brandon was willing to hand them over to him so effortlessly.
Garrett,feeling slighted,complained,Tve contributed so much.Why don’t you offer me some rewards?”
Brandon didn’t even bother to glance at Garrett.Instead,he suggested to Frank,”You can use him to test the drugs when the time is right.”
Upon hearing this,Garrett recoiled dramatically,exclaiming in an exaggerated tone,”Brandon,how could I have such an ungrateful friend like you!”④
Brandon didn’t respond.Instead,he turned to Frank and stated gravely,”I trust you understand my concerns.”
Frank gave a serious nod.”Rest assured.Regardless of what drug Jeremy has administered to Natalie,as long as we have a sample,I can ensure her recovery.”
“Good,”Brandon responded.If there’s nothing else,you may leave now.”
Concerned that Brandon might act recklessly,despite his injuries,Frank offered a series of instructions before finally departing.
Once he had gone,Garrett clapped Brandon’s shoulder comfortingly and reassured him,”Don’t worry excessively.
Natalie will be alright.”
Brandon lowered his gaze and remained silent.
Garrett,feeling somewhat powerless,added,”Your injuries are severe,and you look drained.If you don’t rest properly,I
fear you might collapse suddenly.”
“I’m alright,”Brandon insisted,his thoughts preoccupied with Natalie.”Go and check if theyve Once theyredone,bring Natalie to me.”
Seeing Brandon’s insistence on waiting for Natalie despite his injuries,Garrett’s expression soured.”Why are you so on edge?
Is Natalie in any danger here?”
