Unveiled: The Survivor's Triumph

Chapter 233 Heroes Fall for Beauties

Gideon stopped me in my tracks. I turned around to face him.

"Do you know medicine?" he asked.

"Yeah, I used to be a nurse at Benevolence Hospital. I can handle basic stuff like treating wounds and giving IVs," I said, trying to stay cool.

Gideon squinted at me, raising an eyebrow.

"Alright, you do it. If you've got the guts to treat me, I've got the guts to take it."

Even though Gideon was talking tough, the way he was fiddling with his gun was pretty intimidating. But I kept my cool, walked back over, and set the medical kit down.

Dakato started handing out the food she brought, but everyone was super cautious, like they were scared to eat. It wasn't until they saw Dakato give some bread to the woman and her kid and watched them eat that they finally started chowing down like they were starving.

I checked out Gideon's wound. He had a gunshot wound to the chest. The bullet was out, but he'd lost a ton of blood and was really weak. His body was burning up, probably from an infection causing a high fever. It was bad. Gideon must've known how serious it was, which was why he called for a doctor.

I got a syringe, prepped the meds, and filled the IV bag.

The whole time, Gideon kept staring at me, like he was trying to figure me out.

When I was about to give him the injection, he suddenly pointed his gun at my forehead.

I froze. Slowly, I looked up, following the gun to meet Gideon's sharp, hawk-like eyes.

I wasn't scared, but it would've been weird not to show a little fear.

So, I asked, sounding scared and cautious, "Gideon, what's wrong?"

He glanced at the IV bag in my hand and said flatly, "Try a shot of this yourself first, or let that kid try it."

What a sly fox!

Hearing this, the woman hugged her kid tight, both of them looking terrified and shaking. The kid started crying again, dropping the bread from his mouth.

I calmly drew some of the liquid from the IV bag with the syringe and, with everyone watching, injected it into my arm, pushing the liquid in.

Pulling out the syringe, I looked at Gideon, staying composed.

"Can you trust me now?"

He stared at me with a complicated expression.

I had already figured he was the type who'd never fully trust anyone.

After a moment, he extended his hand.

I took his hand, found a vein, and smoothly inserted the needle into the back of his hand. One of Gideon's buddies found a big tree branch, dug a small hole next to him, and set it up to hang the IV bag. A couple of other guys with minor injuries saw me treating Gideon and didn't put up a fight when I offered to bandage them up.

After I finished, I packed up the medical kit and said, "Gideon, we've brought what you wanted and treated your wounds. Can we head down the mountain now?"
