Stronger Every Time I Die

Chapter 486 Irony

Arthur hadn't anticipated losing so many members at the hands of these humans today. If not for the well-trained bodyguards, who temporarily pushed back the wolves with their guns, they would have never made it into this cave. The moment the cave entrance was blocked by rocks, the wolves charged fiercely with growls echoing. The bodyguards held the large rocks at the entrance tightly, while some quickly moved to gather more. Arthur had brought a doctor on this trip, who was not only a bodyguard but also a medic, specifically for emergencies. This time, his presence was invaluable. As he entered the cave, Arthur had already dressed Ashley's wounds and was moving forward. Without wasting words, he followed the light ahead, keeping pace with Arthur. He also heard the sound of running water! He had witnessed the moment Ashley was bitten by a wolf. He admired Ashley. Such a young girl, yet she had thrown herself at Arthur without a second thought, shielding him from a lethal blow. The wolf had leapt to bite Arthur's neck! It was Ashley who had thrown herself, using her arm to block the wolf's mouth; otherwise, the consequences for Arthur would have been dire. Turning a corner, Arthur indeed found a puddle! Above the puddle, a small waterfall! Arthur was overjoyed. "Finally, a water source!" "Ashley, just hang in there a little longer!" Continuously encouraging her, Arthur quickly carried Ashley toward the waterfall. Due to excessive blood loss, Ashley was nearly unconscious. She heard Arthur's voice but couldn't muster the strength to respond. Arthur's hands shook uncontrollably. He held Ashley tightly, incessantly talking to her, "Ashley, it's going to be okay, you'll be fine, you must be." He dared not look at her pale lips, fearing he might break down. They weren't out of danger yet; he couldn't afford to collapse. Ashley still needed him. Reaching the waterfall, Arthur gently set Ashley down. The doctor followed closely behind. "Great! There's a water source!" The doctor exclaimed with a relieved sigh. Seeing the doctor, Arthur's voice trembled as he urgently said, "Quick! Come and treat Ashley's wounds!" He had a medical kit on him! Seeing the intact medical kit on his back was a relief. Arthur quickly stepped aside. Feeling Arthur move away, Ashley instinctively reached out with her good hand, anxiously grabbing his hand. "Arthur." Feeling her grip, Arthur immediately held her hand tighter, "Ashley, I'm here, I'm right here." "Don't be afraid, the doctor's here, you'll be fine, don't be scared." Arthur's voice shook uncontrollably. The doctor efficiently treated Ashley's wound. Upon seeing the wound, the doctor was shocked. Due to the height difference, when the wolf bit Ashley's arm, the entire weight of the wolf hung from her wound, causing severe tearing. When the disinfectant touched her wound, Ashley flinched in pain. Instinctively, she gripped Arthur's hand tightly. Her grip was so strong that her nails almost dug into his flesh. But the pain in Arthur's heart was exponentially greater than the pain in his hand. If he could, he would take all her pain upon himself. Ashley's lips were pale from blood loss, and her face was drained of color. The doctor quickly retrieved a topical anesthetic from the medical kit, which could reduce Ashley's pain. After applying the anesthetic, Ashley's tightly furrowed brow finally relaxed a bit.Arthur pulled out his phone, attempting to call for help. However, after several tries, there was still no signal! It felt like an eternity had passed. Finally, the doctor finished treating Ashley's wound. The moment the bandaging was done, everyone breathed a huge sigh of relief. The topical anesthetic wasn't as effective as an injectable one, and Ashley was in agony. She pounded the ground with her hands, unable to lift them. After giving Ashley some water, Arthur carefully moved her to a dry area.
