“Sir!” The adjutant hurried toward the man and saluted after seeing him.
Immediately, Sabrina clenched the wrapping in her hand.
“How is she?”
“She just came out from the operating theater,” the adjutant said, seeing the doctor pushing out a hospital cot upon taking a peek at the operating theater.
Sabrina and Isaac stayed absolutely still. Sabrina especially so, as she was still recovering from the numbness she was in a while ago.
Devin walked over.
He completely ignored her and paid all his attention to the woman who had just come out of surgery.
“How is she, doctor?”
“I’m sorry. We did our best. The wounds on her dismembered leg were too severe. I have no idea if it’s even possible to reattach it,” the doctor apologized as he looked at the bandaged stump.
The medical standards there were limited, so there was no way to preserve a dismembered limb like that. It was clear that the doctor was merely stating the facts.
“How could that be?” the adjutant exclaimed before Devin could say anything. “If you don’t reattach her leg, Ms. Woods will become a cripple for the rest of her life! Sir, why don’t we transfer her to a better hospital?”
“That won’t be a problem, but be quick about it if you wish to transfer her,” the doctor agreed.
With that, the adjutant got to work and immediately pushed Kira away.
While that was going on, Sabrina simply sat there and watched. Seeing that there was nothing for her to do, she picked up her bag and got to her feet.
“Ms. Hayes?”
“Let’s go.”
Her reply was devoid of emotion as she got ready to leave, leaving Isaac at a loss for word.
Before Isaac could say anything, the adjutant noticed Sabrina and immediately pointed at her. “You stop right there! Did I tell you to leave?”
Turning toward Devin, he went on, “Sir, this is Ms. Hayes. The one I told you about. She was there when Ms. Woods was being attacked, and she did nothing to help her. On top of that, she registered a fake identity in the hospital and caused me to miss her. If it weren’t for her actions, I could have definitely saved Ms. Woods!”
The adjutant started condemning Sabrina as though everything was her fault.
Isaac’s expression immediately darkened.
“Don’t you—”
Before he could finish, Sabrina had picked up the aluminum trash can and slammed it onto the soldier’s head.
At that moment, all the defenseless adjutants could feel was the pain from the hit as well as garbage and slop that came pouring down on his head. It was a pitiful sight to behold.
‘Who do you actually think you are? How dare you discipline me!” Sabrina mocked him after dumping the trash can on him.
That’s right! Who does he think he is! What happened has nothing to do with me at all! Even if it does, I like watching her getting chopped into pieces! What are you going to do about it?
Sabrina proceeded to turn around and walk away.
However, the adjutant covered in rubbish was not going to let her off that easily for the humiliation.
“You must have a death wish!” he shouted in rage and charged at Sabrina.
He intended to tackle her from behind, then pin her on the ground like how he would subdue a criminal.
Isaac’s expression immediately changed.
“Ms. Hayes!”
“Henrick Layton, what do you think you’re doing? Am I dead to you?” Devin finally spoke.
In an instant, he grabbed hold of Henrick and, with a loud thud, subdued the bulky vice-commander without any resistance, crashing him right onto the floor.
Henrick was dumbfounded.
Even Sabrina, who turned around, was stunned to see what that man had done. Her mind went blank.
“Sir, why did you—”
“Are you stupid? She’s a woman! Do you think she could save Kira Woods from those men all by herself? Do you think she has superpowers?” Devin chastised Henrick as he stared at him with a stern look on his face.
Everyone there was at a loss for words when Devin finished talking.
Henrick was embarrassed. As a commander, even though he was just an adjutant, being called stupid in public did not feel great.
As for Sabrina and Isaac, they were just a little surprised.
More so for Sabrina as tears welled up in her eyes after hearing what Devin said. All the indignity she felt could finally be released.
She had thought that Devin was going to be like Henrick.
“But Sir, she’s still responsible for faking her identity, right? I—”
“Is there a problem with that?” Devin questioned. “She’s from the Hayes family! She has Hayes Corporation backing her! Why is it weird for her to use a fake identity? You’re the one who should be ashamed for not realizing that in the first place! You call yourself an elite?”
