Dear Soldier, Put Your Gun Down

Bombs were going off non-stop in the warzone that even people at the field hospital could feel the earth shuddering. Winona Winston was stitching a wound on an injured soldier. Her hair was clung to her scalp as she was drenched in a mixture of blood and sweat. Hardly anyone could recognize her to be the eldest daughter of Christopher Winston, the city mayor, as her exquisite beauty was obscured by her disheveled appearance.

The scruffy surroundings and the scorching hot weather did not bother her. As a doctor, she was obligated to take care of her patients no matter how horrid the environment was. Moreover, she needed to step up and show her dedication given that she was the leader of the clinical team of Country C.

Clank! Someone kicked the door to the derelict room open all of the sudden. An injured soldier whose blood was flowing profusely from his head was carried inside on a stretcher by five other soldiers. The leader of the group was a good-looking, long-legged man who exuded an icy aura. “Who’s the boss here?”

Winona answered him in a level voice, “It’s me.”

The man marched over at strides and aimed his gun at her head. “Rescue him now or I’ll shoot you and the nurses to death immediately!” he threatened.

Unfazed by his threat, Winona looked straight into his eyes. “How am I going to perform a surgery when you’re pointing a gun at my head?”

Matt Snider froze when he saw the familiar features on Winona’s face. In a crisp movement, he withdrew the gun.

“Scram!” Winona snapped frostily.

The other soldiers looked deeply rattled when they heard her harsh tone. Considering that no one had ever spoken to Matt that way, they were very sure Winona was doomed.

Surprisingly, Matt softened his attitude and responded with a faint smile, “Fine.”

Then, he left the hospital together with his subordinates.

After they were gone, Winona immediately instructed her assistant to move the injured soldier to the operating table. “Get me the forceps and a few bags of blood right now!”

“Dr. Winona, the pulse of the patient is very weak! I can’t feel his breathing!”

Without hesitation, Winona performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation on the injured soldier.

Some distance away from the field hospital, Matt narrowed his eyes to observe the woman who just yelled at him minutes ago. She was tirelessly doing chest compressions on the injured soldier at the moment. To his amazement, she did not even flinch when her hands, her face, and her white coat were stained by the soldier’s blood, and her movements were deft and quick. The surgery room was her stage, and she owned it.
