Chapter 1723: Unlocking the Device


    Chapter 1723: Unlocking the Device


    Finally finding an opportunity to take Alisha out and away from Athena''s sight, Luther wouldn''t miss the


    chance.


    Dr. Jones, an experienced professional doctor of older age, had seen countless cases and had a


    wealth of knowledge. But even she had never heard of imnting a micro-explosive device near the


    heart of a child. It took an extremely ruthless person to target a child like that.


    She immediately nodded and discreetly brought the mobile CT machine over.


    Jacob, who was observing from outside, saw the examination taking ce inside. He became cautious


    and was about to pick up the phone to inform Athena.


    However, Jamie stood beside him and said, "Don''t be surprised. It''s only logical to perform a CT scan


    for pneumonia. I had thought we should have done a CT evaluation of her lung recovery while she was


    receiving treatment at home."


    Jacob found the exnation reasonable and no longer felt rmed or concerned.


    Inside the sterile ward, Dr. Jones used the most advanced multi-slice spiral thinyer CT machine to


    clearly capture cross-sections of the thoracic cavity. After taking images from multiple angles, she


    pushed the machine away.


    Then she opened her linkedputer and carefully analyzed the images one by one.


    Luther stood by Alisha''s side, tightly holding her hand.


    If possible, he really wanted to remove the explosive device from Alisha''s body right now.


    In fact, he wanted to subdue the people outside as well. It wouldn''t be difficult for him.


    It was just that Athena probably anticipated this, and if she could make Alishae out, he worried


    that Athena, the wicked woman, still had a backup n. He had to eliminate all possibilities.


    "What''s the situation?" After a moment of waiting, Luther asked Dr. Jones.


    Dr. Jones responded, "Firstly, it will take at least twenty minutes for the anesthesia to take effect.


    Removing the detonator isn''t difficult. Although it''s close to the arterial blood vessels and poses a risk,


    as long as the surgeon is skilled, they can avoid it within a controble range. However..."


    She paused.


    Luther nervously waited for her next words.


    "However, what?"


    "I believe this isn''t an ordinary detonator." Dr. Jones pointed at the screen. "Mr. Warner, take a look


    here."


    Luther stepped forward and saw a circr device on the ck and white CT image. It seemed to have


    a tube extending from it.


    "What is this?" he asked.


    Dr. Jones said, "Mr. Warner, I had the privilege of working in a military hospital for ten years. I suspect


    this is a section of a conduit. Let me put it this way, it''s like a key. We need to open the conduit first


    before we can remove the detonator. If we try to remove the detonator without the key, the only


    consequence will be an explosion."


    "What!" Luther was shocked. "So I need to acquire the unlock device that can open the conduit first."


    "Yes. That''s what I suspect. If we forcefully remove it, I can''t imagine the consequences," Dr. Jones


    shook her head. "Mr. Warner, this is beyond my capabilities. I''m sorry, I can''t do it."


    Luther understood. "I understand. Don''t me yourself. You''ve already been very helpful."


    "Mr. Warner, there''s something I don''t know if I should say or not," Dr. Jones hesitated, then asked.


    "It''s fine, go ahead."


    Luther continued to stare at the CT image. Although he couldn''t interpret the image himself, he could


    still see the general outline. Athena really wasn''t an ordinary person; she had done something


    extremely vicious. Compared to Athena, Charlotte''s methods were insignificant.


    Dr. Jones looked up at Luther. "I heard that your Mrs. Warner is the current young marshal of the


    warlords. If Alisha is the marshal''s own flesh and blood, Mr. Warner, you can surely find a way together


    with the marshal. The methods used by the military hospital''s personnel to remove explosive devices


    are definitely more sophisticated than those of ordinary doctors. Unless, this child isn''t..."


    "Of course she is mine and hers." Luther knew that his recent scandals would cause


    misunderstandings, and he didn''t want to hide anything from Dr. Jones. "It''s just not suitable for her to


    know at the moment. I''ll handle it ording to the situation."


    However, he had always been worried. If Joyce intervened and offered help, it would only further


    enrage Athena. If Athena felt that he and Joyce were always on the same side.


    Then this madwoman might just ignite the explosive.


    He couldn''t take the risk.


    He couldn''t treat Athena as a normal person.


    Luther sighed. It seemed like Athena had him pinned down at his weak spot. What should he do to


    break free from this deadlock and save Alisha?


    "Dr. Jones, twenty minutes for anesthesiatime is too long. And that''s not even considering the time for


    the surgery itself. We can disregard the time for suturing. Overall, it''s difficult for me to distract their


    attention for more than half an hour," Luther said.


    Dr. Jones pondered for a moment. She nced at the ck-d individuals outside the door, as if she


    understood something.


    She nodded. "Mr. Warner, I have a n in mind. It might be helpful for you to listen to it."


    Luther''s spirits lifted. "Please, go on."


    Dr. Jones said, "I''ve heard of a new anesthesia technique called Mufron. It only takes one minute from


    injection to being able to proceed with the surgery smoothly. It''s still in the experimental stage, and


    whether it''s suitable for children or not, you''ll need to find out."


    Luther''s eyes brightened. "One minute?"


    If that were the case, the chances of sess would be much higher.


    "Yes. And if you can find a highly skilled cardiovascr surgeon, they can unlock the detonator first. A


    surgeon with fast hands can directly remove the detonator within five minutes. Then, they can ce the


    detonator in a sealed explosion container. The method I just mentioned, with the anesthetist and


    surgeon cooperating, practicing and testing repeatedly, it should be possible toplete the procedure


    within five minutes," Dr. Jones exined carefully.


    All of this was based on her experience working as a military doctor.


    After listening to Dr. Jones, Luther''s eyes lit up.


    Five minutes, just five minutes. The chances of sess would greatly increase. So, for now, the first


    step was to find the device that could unlock the detonator. The second step was finding the anesthesia


    method, and the third step was to have the anesthetist and surgeon practice and coordinate repeatedly,


    ready to act at any moment.


    Once he had a clear direction in his mind, the curve of his lips rxed, as if the clouds had parted and


    he finally saw a ray of sunshine.

    He brushed away the cloud that was the divorce agreement he had been forced to sign earlier.


    If the final oue was good, a temporary sacrifice was worth it.


    Athena held the divorce agreement with his signature, and she would surely go to Joyce.


    The agreement would only take effect if Joyce also signed it.


    It seemed that Athena would soon reveal herself to Joyce.


    Luther stood with a furrowed brow. Now, he could only rely on Joyce.


    She had to believe in him and hold on.
