Chapter 11
One look from Kirk was enough to make the bodyguard tremble.
“Second floor. Number 208.”
After getting the information he needed, Kirk crushed the walkie–talkie under his heel and turned
around to go upstairs. The bodyguards stared at each other after seeing the crushed walkie–talkie on
the ground, none of them daring to move a finger. Even after Kirk had gone into the elevator, nobody
dared to fish out their walkie–talkies to call for backup.
The elevator arrived at the second floor in a flash. Kirk immediately spotted the red light outside the
operation theater numbered 208. The piercing red gleam was like a knife slashing through Kirk’s heart.
He clenched his fists so hard that his knuckles turned white.
He walked to the door and slammed his fist into it with a bang. The sturdy wooden door burst open,

once, his eyes bloodshot, looking out of control. Other people didn’t know who he was, but they still
trembled in fear at how terrifying he looked.
Only Sean recovered from his shock and approached him. “Kirk, what’s the matter?” In his memory,
Kirk was always calm no matter what happened. What had happened today that could make him lose
his self–control to this extent? Kirk pushed Sean aside and charged into the operation theater. When
he saw Caroline lying on the bed covered in blood and her face pale, his gaze went dull immediately.
“What happened to her?”
Sean followed behind him and said, “Kirk, this is an operating theater.”
“I asked what happened to her!” A shot of fear went through Kirk as he turned around and stared at
Sean grimly. Sean’s gaze traveled between Kirk and Caroline, and it suddenly occurred to him where
he had seen Caroline before. She was the woman Kirk had married in a shotgun marriage! Which
meant …
“She” Cold sweat broke out on Sean’s forehead. “We haven’t removed her kidney. Go out first. I’ll close
the wound immediately.” Kirk didn’t budge, and Sean was very anxious. “Hurry up and get out. If we
waste any more time, she’ll actually die,” said Sean. These words finally incited some change in Kirk’s
stiff expression.
Kirk stared at Sean deeply. He trusted his medical skills fully, but…
“Leave it to me!” said Sean while giving Kirk a look that pleaded for his faith. Kirk’s Adam’s apple
bobbed in his throat, and he slowly walked out, closing the door behind him.
The people in the operating theater started busying themselves again. Outside, Kirk stood motionlessly
by the door, not daring to leave for even a moment. His mind was filled with the image of Caroline lying
on the bed like a torn ragdoll. He had never felt such a fear that made
it hard for him to breathe. A few minutes felt like ages to him, then the red light suddenly started

Kirk pushed against the door anxiously, bumping into a nurse who was coincidentally walking out.
“What’s happening?” he asked. The nurse was panting as she answered, “The patient is bleeding
excessively. Dr. Yates asked us to contact the blood bank immediately.” Kirk was beside himself with
panic, and he was about to rush inside when the nurse blocked his way.
“You are not a doctor and aren’t wearing a surgical gown. You’ll only increase the patient’s risk of
infection.”
Her words stopped Kirk in his tracks. His gaze darkened as he asked, “How much blood does she
need?” (1)
“Well, she’ll need as much as possible.”
“I’ll go,” Kirk said and was about to turn around and leave before the nurse called him out. “What’s
wrong with you? You don’t own the blood bank! I don’t even know if I’ll get any blood if I go. Do you
know that the patient is already in critical condition? Can you stop making
the situation worse!”
