Chapter 1012: Chapter 1012 Life-and-Death Speed (6)

Inside the operating room.

The part of Moses’ heart that needed to be removed has been safely excised. Dr. Charlie hands the used electric knife to his assistant.

“Wipe my sweat!”

The nurse immediately takes out a cotton cloth and helps wipe his forehead.

Dr. Charlie takes a deep breath and extends his palm to Dr. William.

“Heart!”

Dr. William turns his face towards the door. Just as he’s about to speak, a nurse comes running in, holding a black heart preservation box.

“The heart… the heart is here!”

Everyone breathes a sigh of relief. An assistant doctor rushes over to open the preservation box. Dr. William picks up the warm heart and carefully places it into Moses’ chest. Dr. Charlie immediately starts the suturing work.

Dr. William lifts his face and glances at his watch. Thirty-three minutes have passed since the start of the surgery—managing to return two minutes early.

Left atrial suture.

Right atrial suture.

Aortic suture.

…

Dr. Charlie takes the scissors and cuts the pulmonary artery’s suture thread.

“Release the aortic clamp!”

Dr. William extends his fingers and gently releases the clamp. Blood rushes into the newly implanted heart.

All eyes are fixed on the heart, and at that moment, time seems to stand still in the operating room.

For a second, the room is incredibly silent, save for the hum of the surgical lights. Everyone clearly hears their own breathing.

The heart gradually expands and then contracts. A clear heartbeat is heard from the monitor.

Thump!

Thump!

Thump…

Each heartbeat grows stronger.

“Successful restart.” Dr. Charlie’s voice is filled with excitement, “Begin the sutures!”

The surgery proceeds smoothly. By the time it reaches the final sutures, Dr. Charlie is exhausted. Dr. William helps him to the side while the assistant doctor continues the last suture phase.

Sitting on a chair in the break room, Dr. Charlie pulls off his face mask.

“This was the most perilous surgery I’ve ever done.”

Dr. William extends his hand respectfully, “Thank you!”

Flying over in the middle of the night, not sleeping for ten hours, and then performing an intense surgery… Dr. William is extremely grateful for Dr. Charlie’s work.

Dr. William has practically watched Moses grow up. He’s not just his doctor; in his heart, he already sees this child as an important part of his life.

Today’s surgery, for him, was far more than just saving a life.

Standing up, Dr. Charlie smiles and extends his hand, shaking Dr. William’s hand.

“It’s an honor to join you. Now, go inform them.”

Dr. William nods and steps out of the break room.

…

…

Outside the operating room.

The crowd is still waiting tensely. The heart’s arrival only meant that the surgery was just beginning. Compared with the doctors inside, those waiting outside the operating room have the hardest time.

Upon hearing the sound of the operating room door opening, everyone immediately stands up from their seats and moves to the door.

The doors part, revealing Dr. William with a smile on his face to everyone.

Knowing what everyone is waiting for, he doesn’t waste a word and immediately delivers the news.

“The surgery was very successful.”

Everyone smiles.
