Chapter 620 Hard-Won Survival

• The battle drained Nadia, her body aching for rest, though there was no time for it. She had to act fast. Lily needed help, and delaying could cost her life.
• Surgery came first. Removing the bullets was grueling and took over an hour. Nadia disinfected the wounds and bandaged them carefully. Anti-inflammatory medicine and antibiotics followed. Only when Lily was stable did Nadia turn her attention to Colby.
• Colby's injury ran deep, the wound cutting close to the bone. Luckily, Lily had managed to stop the bleeding in time. He endured the stitching process with grit, teasing, and flirting Nova between winces of pain. It was his way of coping—soft words and dry humor, a dance of affection and stubbornness.
