"Get her to the operating room, stat!" Dr. Mann directed Marcus and the nurses.
"Also, page Mr. Dickson to the OR."

The medical team swiftly transferred Lisa to the operating room.

Ella's tears flowed freely,"Will Aunty be okay?"

A gentle nurse reassured,"She'll be fine, sweetie. Just needs stitches."

The nurse guided Ella away,
"We need to check you over, make sure the incident didn't affect you internally."

Ella nodded bravely.

Meanwhile, Mr. Dickson arrived at the OR.

"I heard you were there too," he said, his voice low.

Lisa nodded grimly.

Mr. Dickson examined Lisa's wound,"This is really bad." He murmured to himself, concern etched on his face.

Mr. Mann instructed,"Proceed with the dressing, Mr. Dickson."

"Yes, Doc," Mr. Dickson replied.

With skilled hands, Mr. Dickson began the delicate procedure.

Dean rushed into the hospital, scanning the area frantically.
"Is there anyone you know who was a victim of the fire outbreak?" the receptionist asked.

"Yes," Dean replied. "I'm looking for Ms. Lisa McCarthy."

The receptionist's eyes narrowed,"What's your acquaintance with her?"

"We're neighbors," Dean explained.

The receptionist nodded,"She's currently in the operating room. You can wait here for about thirty minutes. She's undergoing stitching."

Dean's face tensed with worry,
"Thank you."

He settled into a chair in the waiting room, lost in thought, "I couldn't even protect her from getting hurt."

Just then, a tiny voice pierced the air,
"Mr. Fireman! Mr. Fireman!!"

Dean lifted his head to see Ella sprinting toward him.

The little girl threw her arms around him,"You're the one who saved us! Thank you!"

Dean smiled warmly,"You're welcome. It's my job."

Ella's eyes sparkled,
"What's your name, sir?"

"I'm Dean."

Ella's face lit up,"Mr. Dean, can you marry my auntie? She's pretty and currently single."

Dean chuckled,"Well, I think that's a decision for your auntie and me to make."

Ella grinned mischievously,"I'll tell her you said yes."

Dean's eyes widened in mock alarm,
"Oh no, don't do that."

Ella giggled, snuggling into Dean's side.

Alice rushed over, apologizing.
"Ella, you shouldn't say things like that to strangers."

Ella looked down, abashed.

Dean smiled reassuringly,"No worries."

Alice turned to Dean,"Do you know where Lisa will be after her treatment?"
