The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella)

Chapter 1691

The angle of the bullet's entry meant it didn't pierce the heart chamber directly; instead, it becenshrouded by the heart

muscle. With every thud of Sean's heart, the bullet inside shifted ever so slightly.

Since taking the bullet, Sean had maintained an air of indifference, going about his life as if nothing had changed. To everyone

else, he was the sformidable figure they had always feared.

But sometimes, he'd suffer from chest tightness, a racing heartbeat, dizziness, a feeling of suffocation.

Over the past few months, a team of top-notch doctors had been brainstorming solutions, but none could guarantee a 100%

success rate in removing the bullet.

Because the bullet, aside from causing Sean discomfort, wasn't life-threatening and didn't disrupt his daily routine, sdoctors

suggested forgoing surgery and simply managing the symptoms with medication.

As twent on, Sean's discomfort grew more frequent and pronounced; conservative treatment was no longer cutting it.

That was one reason he hadn't gone home. The thought of his family witnessing his sudden death. The heartache it would cause

his parents, his siblings.

“There is another option.” one doctor mentioned, “I've heard about this Dr. Bell, who's operated on many influential people. They

say even the toughest cases are kids’ play for her. It's rumored that she's quicker to save a life than the Grim Reaper is to take

one. If we can find her, there might be a chance.”

“Dr. Bell.” Steward had heard the nbefore.

Bell was as elusive as a ghost, and they hadn't been able to track her down.

Now, with Sean unconscious, mobilizing a massive search felt like finding a needle in a haystack. Then, the image of that young

girl from the night before popped into his mind. Did she really know medicine? Could she operate on Sean?

Her calm demeanor, those eyes brimming with confidence, it made one want to believe. But that thought lasted only a second

before he felt like he was losing his mind. He must be desperate to even consider the words of a girl barely out of her teens!

“Keep Sean on the meds to ease his pain for now. When he wakes up, I'll discuss it with him.”

They had no better plan; they had to wait.

The next morning, as dawn was breaking, Sean's eyelids fluttered open. Remembering the symptoms that the young girl had

pinpointed the night before, a smile crept across his face.

She really was a unique young lady. She had even guessed the timing and symptoms.

“Sean, you're awake.”

Steward thought his eyes were deceiving him. Not only was Sean awake, but he was also smiling, a baffling and unsettling sight in

the dim morning light.

“Get in touch with her,” Sean said abruptly.

Steward was bewildered and took a moment to comprehend, “You mean that young girl, you want her to treat you?”

Sean clarified, “To perform the surgery.”

“Letting a girl we barely know and have had conflicts with operate on you?” Steward felt Sean was out of his mind, resorting to

desperate measures, even considering a girl to perform surgery,

“Sean, we don't even know who she is.”

Recalling the girl's confident demeanor, Sean replied with a relaxed assurance, “Do as | say.”

He couldn't believe that she'd boldly make such claims if she wasn't competent. She must be sure of herself. Sean's directive left

Steward with no choice but to reluctantly make the call.
