Chapter 2917: Chapter 107: He Discovers Harrison Lucas’s Secret

Ben Lucas first cleaned his hands with the bottle of water he carried, disinfecting them, and then once again sterilizing the tactical knife with fire.

He knew that Harrison Lucas would feel pain, but now there was no anesthetic, so he could only use the alcohol swab to clean Harrison Lucas’s wound and disinfect it.

When the bullet was exposed, the unconscious Harrison Lucas began to grimace and let out involuntary low groans.

Ben Lucas softly comforted "him," his hands not stopping, for he could not wait any longer and had to immediately extract the bullet from Harrison Lucas.

The fire-cauterized blade tip cut through the skin behind Harrison Lucas’s left shoulder, and with skilled dexterity, Ben Lucas extracted the bullet.

"Mmm..." The unconscious Harrison Lucas, in pain, had beads of sweat trickling down his forehead.

Hearing her involuntary cry of pain, Ben Lucas’s usually steady hands almost failed to grip the knife handle.

He forced himself to concentrate, finishing treating her wound, disinfecting once more and applying super effective wound ointment, pressing down with clean small gauze pads.

After this series of treatments, Harrison Lucas’s bleeding finally stopped.

Only then did Ben Lucas’s heart finally return to calm.

Fortunately, the supply kit they carried was not lost during the movement, Ben Lucas rummaged to find a clean triangular bandage to dress Harrison Lucas’s wound on her shoulder.

The triangular bandage technique is commonly used outdoors, a method to secure shoulder injuries, only with proper bandaging can bleeding be promptly stopped to prevent excessive blood loss and shock.

As with dressing other soldiers, Ben Lucas slanted the bottom corner of the triangular bandage under Harrison Lucas’s right arm’s armpit, the top corner covered her left shoulder at the back, covering the wound.

Ben Lucas then reached over, passing through in front of Harrison Lucas, grabbing the top corner of the triangular bandage on her left shoulder, and passed it over her already bare chest...

Wait a moment...

Ben Lucas’s large hand was at this moment wrapping from behind Harrison Lucas to his front, grabbing the top corner of the triangular bandage on "his" left shoulder.

He was half-kneeling behind Harrison Lucas, cautiously avoiding touching the wound, yet essentially hugging her closely from behind.

And now, the distinctly knuckled big hand of the man was dragging a corner of that triangular bandage across the front of Harrison Lucas’s bare chest.

But what was strange was that the chest, which should have been, like his own, firm, broad, and resilient, unexpectedly felt soft.

"..."

Time seemed to stand still in that moment.

The crackling sparks in the cave seemed to become clearer, and the flickering flames appeared more intense.

Yet a drop of sweat unconsciously rolled down Ben Lucas’s resolute face.

He dared not move, maintaining such a posture.

After pausing for a moment, the slightly rough palm cautiously moved again, gently covering the softness that had been accidentally brushed over just now.

"Mmm..." The unconscious Harrison Lucas let out another gentle moan.

But unlike the previous groan, this time her voice surprisingly carried an inexplicable allure.

That soft and tender whimper was exactly the same as what Ben Lucas had heard in his dreams.

Ben Lucas’s hand immediately withdrew, as if burned.

He finally understood why Harrison Lucas wore so many layers of clothing, and was wrapped with white cloth.

The man’s face darkened, and countless complex and obscure emotions flashed through his black pupils.

Without taking more time to think, Ben Lucas quickly finished dressing the wound for Harrison Lucas, removing his own clothes to cover her.

There was no pile of straw in the cave, and Ben Lucas did not dare place Harrison Lucas on the ground, so he turned her around, allowing her to lay face-to-face on his shoulder.

Performing these actions had once been very natural.

But now when he bowed his head to look at Harrison Lucas’s tightly shut eyes on her face, her pale and oblivious expression was flushed, he couldn’t help but think of the sensation of his hand brushing over that soft spot just now.

Involuntarily, the man’s stern and serious face became tinged with an odd red.
