Fully reassured now, the director nodded vigorously and said, “Understood. Don’t worry.”
Worried that Katelyn might change her mind, he quickly signaled to his assistants. “Organize it immediately.”
A team promptly left to make the necessary arrangements. They moved with impressive speed.
Katelyn watched them go, a faint smile playing on her lips; their eagerness was somewhat endearing. She then turned her focus to the task at hand and began the surgery.
The arranged group of observing doctors entered the room. By this time, Katelyn was already performing the craniotomy.
Despite their initial nervousness, Katelyn’s openness and willingness to explain the procedure put them at ease.
“This area represents different emotional stress zones, so we must be cautious here,” Katelyn explained meticulously.
Several doctors, eager not to miss anything, began recording her explanations.
The operation stretched on for four hours. By its conclusion, Katelyn was feeling the strain; her throat was parched, and she was visibly fatigued.
Just then, a young nurse approached Katelyn with a glass of lemonade, offering it with a smile. “Hades, please have some water.”
Katelyn looked at the nurse and accepted the lemonade without hesitation. After taking a large sip, she finally felt relief in her throat.
Looking over at the operating table where the doctors were finishing the sutures, she reminded them, “Make sure the stitches are precise; the aesthetics are important.”
Although she and Elora had their differences, Katelyn was committed to her responsibilities as Elora’s surgeon.
The doctors acknowledged her instruction with a nod. “Understood.”
Once she verified that all of Elora’s vital signs were stable, Katelyn gave further instructions. “Take her to the intensive care unit initially. Assuming there’s no sign of intracranial infection, move her to a general ward in three days.”

The team responded affirmatively, “Yes!”
Katelyn was confident in the hospital staff’s ability to manage the post-operative care, as these protocols were fundamental to medical training.
With her part done, Katelyn exited the operating room.
But as she opened the door to leave, Austen was waiting outside. He approached her and anxiously asked, “Hades, how did the surgery go?”
Katelyn reassured him with a nod, saying, “The operation was successful. Now, the recovery depends on her post-operative care. She has a 70 percent chance of regaining her former condition.” The number was already quite high.
Austen’s anxious heart finally eased.
Katelyn turned her attention away and walked toward the elevator. At that moment, all she wanted was to sleep peacefully. She felt utterly exhausted.
But just as she started to walk away, Austen remembered something urgent. “Hades, what did you need me to do for you?”
Katelyn stopped and looked around. After making sure no one was nearby, she turned to Austen and said, “Come with me.”
On the empty balcony, Katelyn felt the cool night air and turned to Austen. “I need your help with an investigation,” she whispered. “You mustn’t tell anyone, not even Elora.”
After all, she and Elora had a troubled relationship. If Austen were to mention anything, Elora might suspect something was wrong. If she got involved, matters would only be complicated for Katelyn.
