After thinking it over, Flossie Wright ultimately grabbed the scissors and cut the thread, but as she focused on pulling it out, she suddenly asked, "Where’s your girlfriend?"
While enduring the pain, Glenn Hutchinson still had the mind to ask her.
With a swift motion, Flossie pulled out the torn thread. Just as she breathed a sigh of relief, she felt Glenn’s somewhat intense gaze.
She paused and then snapped back to reality.
"The Military Doctor who likes you," Flossie explained.
"She’s not my girlfriend," Glenn emphasized with a stern face.
"Fine, she’s not," Flossie replied, following his words.
Calling her a "girlfriend" was just because she forgot the woman’s name, though she almost forgot she had seen many "girlfriends" of Glenn’s before.
"Her name is—" Flossie dragged out the words.
"Ann Cavanaugh."
Glenn replied with a straight face.
Flossie shrugged helplessly, "I’m not professional enough, let’s call her in."
It’s not that she hadn’t dealt with serious injuries before, but this was a wound on Glenn. If it were her own, she might still be able to handle it, but when it came to dealing with Glenn’s, she feared she might lack control.
Glenn nearly choked to death on her words.
This woman...
In places where she shouldn’t be magnanimous, she was more so than anyone else!
After a moment, Glenn took a deep breath and calmly asked, "Are you sure?"
"Change to someone else?" Flossie asked hesitantly.
Thinking of Ann, it was because she was the only Military Doctor Flossie knew, and she and Glenn had some camaraderie, and she would only deal with Glenn’s injury better, but on second thought—
It seemed a bit off.
"I’ll do it myself," Glenn furrowed his brows.
"Never mind, I’ll do it."
Watching Glenn’s attempt to reach for the thread, Flossie felt a rare tug at her heartstrings and changed her mind again.
She wasn’t very good at dealing with this.
However, Glenn surely wasn’t feeling easy now either, and should he make an error stitching...
Watching idly didn’t feel right either.
Better to take matters into her own hands and do it personally.
Seeing Flossie change her mind again, Glenn was bewildered. But although she quickly changed her mind, at least there were no further shifts in her decision.

She focused on stitching up his wound.
They might not know about professional internal injuries, craniotomies, and such, but dealing with external injuries, everyone had learned in detail. As long as the five internal organs and six viscera were not harmed, most external injuries could be handled, and even if bones were affected, as long as they were not too severe, they generally managed.
Flossie had basic knowledge from her previous life, and after joining the Forces, she learned external injury treatment techniques both in the Marine Corps and at Aaron Base. So for her, it wasn’t unfamiliar.
Initially, she was hesitant because it was Glenn Hutchinson, but halfway through the treatment, her mind focused, and she didn’t think much about it anymore. Her method became more stable, her movements quicker.
It was only after she dealt with all of Glenn’s bursting wounds that the time approached ten-thirty.
After putting the needle and thread aside, Flossie wrapped Glenn with bandages, then finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As soon as she sat down, Glenn handed her a cup of tea.
Still freshly poured.
"Captain, don’t you feel pain?"
Taking the tea, Flossie arched her brow and asked coldly, then drank the tea down in one gulp.
