Chapter 812: 812: Unstoppable Bleeding

After finishing his official business, Daniel Marshall was looking at Olivia Jenkins’ photos.

Suddenly, his phone rang.

He glanced at the caller ID and answered, “What’s up?”

An anxious voice came through the phone, “Chief Daniel Marshall, Miss Ziegler accidentally cut her hand while arranging flowers. The wound looks quite deep, and there was a lot of bleeding. We urged her to go to the hospital, but she refused. She says she doesn’t want to trouble anyone and that it will be fine once the bleeding stops and she applies some medicine.”

Daniel frowned in displeasure, “Has the bleeding stopped yet?”

“We pressed on it for a few minutes, but the bleeding hasn’t stopped. As soon as we let go, the cut starts bleeding again. I’m worried that it’s quite deep, and I don’t know if it needs stitches.

Miss Ziegler comforted everyone not to worry about her. She said that she had experienced this kind of situation when she was younger and that if you press long enough, it would stop bleeding. If the bleeding stops, she will be fine. That’s what she says, but I’m afraid she might get tetanus.”

After thinking for a few seconds, Daniel said sternly, “I’m coming over immediately; she still needs to be treated at the hospital.”

“Understood, we will prepare everything here.”

…

At the hospital, the doctor examined Grace Ziegler’s finger carefully.

The cut was a bit deep, requiring debridement and suturing, and she also needed a tetanus shot.

In the treatment room, a nurse was cleaning Grace’s wound when suddenly, Grace cried out in pain and started crying.

Whenever the pressure on Grace’s finger was not maintained, the bleeding resumed, and her cries of pain became more agonizing.

This was just the disinfecting and cleaning of the wound—stitches had not even started yet, and Grace already looked so miserable that it was a little unbearable for Daniel to watch.

In a moment, Daniel wrapped his arms around Grace, consoling her with a few words.

It was very painful, and Grace’s mood did not improve. She leaned against Daniel, still crying bitterly.

Daniel furrowed his brows and looked at the nurse, “Give her anesthesia when you stitch her up.”

“We can give anesthesia. Just bear with it a little longer. The disinfection needs to be thorough to prevent infection.”

Grace sobbed miserably, “Brother, I can bear it. I’m alright. I was just scared, and that’s why I screamed, but I’m not as scared now.”

Daniel didn’t know how to comfort her anymore and tenderly stroked Grace’s head with a heart filled with pity.

This one word “Brother” also stirred a sense of compassion in Daniel’s heart.

As a brother, it was his responsibility to look after his sister.

He had the means, and he should ensure that his mother and sister could live a good life, without suffering any grievances.

There was a blood bond, and he had a responsibility to them. He also wanted to be able to give warmth to his family members.

He also hoped that Olivia could integrate into such a complex family dynamic, instead of rejecting his half-sister with whom he shared a mother.

Pursing his lips, Daniel’s voice was very gentle as he continued to comfort Grace, “With brother here, don’t be afraid. The nurse will finish the treatment soon.”

Grace continued crying and nodded her head.@@novelbin@@

While the nurse was stitching her up, she clung tightly to Daniel’s suit jacket.

By sharing in this experience with her, he felt the pain deeply. That’s why he would be heartbroken for her—that’s why he wouldn’t send her away.

Grace had already made up her mind; she couldn’t go abroad, couldn’t give up everything she had worked so hard to obtain.

…

After Grace’s wound was treated, Daniel wiped away her tears and accompanied her to get the injection.

After the skin test, Daniel stayed with Grace in the observation room.

Grace’s eyes were still red, looking pitifully at Daniel like a child who had done something wrong, “Brother, I’m sorry for causing you more trouble again.”

Daniel had no intention of blaming her. Instead, he looked back at Grace with eyes full of pity, “In the future, be more careful. If you’re injured, you must see a doctor and let the professionals handle it. Thankfully it wasn’t serious, but you still need to be more careful from now on.”
