You Hit My Heart (Joyce and Luther) novel Chapter 672

While it was true that simple sutures could temporarily stop the bleeding, the wound would have to be open again for future treatments and it would be twice as painful.

He had no idea for what Karl was willing to put up with such inhuman torture.

"Quick, get me Franklin."

Karl had just eased up a little from the pain and hastily instructed in a trembling voice.

"Yes."

Another SWAT team member turned on the police department's intercom connection installed in the vehicle and tuned it to Franklin's exclusive frequency.

"This is Franklin. Has Captain been rescued safely?" Immediately after the call went through, Franklin asked, his voice anxious with concern.

"Yes, we have successfully rescued Captain and we are now helping him to stop the bleeding."

Tom replied.

"Franklin, have you found Joyce? What's going on now?" Karl inquired urgently.

"Yes, Captain, we have found Joyce's location, and I am now in the car. We have sent five vehicles, including eight SWATs. We are on our way to her location."

Franklin reported in one breath.

"Good, share Joyce's location signal to me, and I'll leave immediately. Let’s meet over there. From now on, I will be in command."

Although Karl's voice was weak and he’s gasping a bit, his aura was undiminished, and his order was loud, clear and resolute.

"Yes, Captain."

Franklin immediately responded, but he finally added, "Captain, don’t you need to go to the hospital first? Is the injury serious?"

"I'm fine. Ricky is a former mercenary, and he is quite familiar with our routines. He is so cruel and vicious. You are no match for him. Just do as I say and don't make any rash moves."

Karl commanded.

"Yes, Captain."

Franklin answered again, "I'm switching the tracking signal to your terminal now."

"Captain, I'm going to give you an anti-inflammatory shot."

Tom took the syringe out of the first aid kit.

He had just stitched up his wound in a non-sterile environment, so his wound could be easily infected and must be decontaminated.
