The next morning, after having breakfast, Nathaniel Hart, accompanied by Older Mr. Hart, headed to the surgery location that Sofia Schneider had prepared in advance.
Before entering the operating room, Nathaniel held Older Mr. Hart’s hand and said, “Grandpa, don’t worry. I’ll fine.”
Sofia also reassured, “Grandpa, with Dr. Braylon Green here, you can rest easy.”
Braylon added, “Older Mr. Hart, I believe Dr. Schneider and I will work together perfectly.
You can trust us.”
At this moment, Older Mr. Hart really wanted to tell them that he trusted them, but his hands were trembling uncontrollably, showing just how nervous he was.
This surgery for Nathaniel was being conducted in secret, so even Charley Hart and the others were not informed.
Chapter unlocked!
Once they entered the operating room, Older Mr. Hart would be left alone.
Sofia was quite worried, so she called Sylvia Grant to secretly keep an eye on Older Mr. Hart.
The surgery would take a long time, and Sofia wasn’t sure if Older Mr. Hart could hold up.
In hindsight, she should have informed Charley and the others so they could take care of each other.
However, there was no more time to delay.
Braylon and Sofia went to do the pre–surgery preparations, while Otis Frank and Emiliano Rogers were already in the operating room, ready to anesthetize Nathaniel.
When Sofia and Braylon entered the operating room, Nathaniel’s anesthesia hadn’t taken effect yet.
She walked over, stood by Nathaniel’s side, and softly said, “Relax, trust me completely, okay?”
Nathaniel responded, then his consciousness gradually becoming fuzzy.

He closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Braylon then asked, “You were planning to operate without anesthesia before, right? Why the sudden change of plan?”
Sofia explained, “His condition wasn’t good before. To heal quickly through surgery, it was best to let him feel the pain to help us judge the state of his nerves. But after treating him for a while, many neurons have already healed, so there’s no need for him to endure the pain anymore.”
Braylon questioned, “Is it really unnecessary, or do you just feel bad for him?”
In fact, he knew very well that to complete the surgery quickly and achieve the best results, it was best for Nathaniel to be awake and cooperate with them.
But now, Sofia had changed the surgical strategy, which would inevitably extend the surgery time, possibly doubling or even tripling the duration of the previous plan.
As a result, the effectiveness might not reach the previous plan’s level, and it would only add to their workload.
Sofia’s approach could be seen as thankless.
Yet, she still did it.
Braylon’s doubts were quite reasonable.
Sofia glanced at Dr. Braylon and saw that he was looking at her with a fatherly gaze, made her feel a bit helpless.

Sofia looked at Dr. Braylon and said, “Dr. Braylon, are you doubting my medical skills?”
Braylon was taken aback, and seeing Sofia’s arrogant statement, he didn’t know how to respond for a moment.
He naturally had complete trust in Sofia’s medical skills and believed she could perfectly complete the surgery.
Sofia stopped talking to Braylon and began Nathaniel’s surgery.
The surgery involved cutting open Nathaniel’s back to repair his spine, a meticulous and challenging process that required intense focus and no room for error.

From the moment Sofia entered the surgical state, the operating room was filled with only the sound of shallow breathing.
No one dared to make a sound, fearing it would disrupt Sofia’s actions.
However, another reason for their focus was Sofia’s incredibly skilled surgical techniques.
Each of her movements seemed like a work of art, as if she were performing rather than operating.
If Braylon weren’t in the middle of the surgery himself, he would have cheered in
amazement..
Finally, after thirteen long hours of meticulous repair, Sofia completed the first and most crucial step of Nathaniel’s surgery.
Next was the second phase, which involved preparing for future rehabilitation.
This step was to be completed by Braylon.
Sofia had experienced major surgeries before, but at this moment, she still felt a bit fatigued.
The high level of concentration made her every movement seem almost mechanical.
Under such intense activity, her physical strength was nearly exhausted, and she was sustained only by a single taut nerve, pushing her to persevere until the end of the surgery…
Finally, it was time for the last step: suturing.
Initially, Sofia wanted Otis to handle this step.
Although her student sometimes seemed unreliable, he was her best student when it came to suturing.
However, when Otis was about to start, Sofia stopped him.
“I’ll do it,” Sofia said.
Sofia didn’t want anyone else to leave marks on Nathaniel’s body, even if they were necessary due to the surgery.
Moreover, if she sutured it herself, it would look much better.

Otis blinked in confusion.
For a moment, he even wondered if his teacher was dissatisfied with him.
He tentatively called out, “Sofia…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Emiliano pulled him aside.
Emiliano and Braylon clearly understood Sofia’s intentions, even if Otis didn’t.
It was all due to that damn possessiveness!
Emiliano never expected Sofia’s feelings for Nathaniel to reach this level.
It was one thing to guard against women, but now she was even wary of men!
He glanced at Sofia but ultimately said nothing.
