Chapter 1704: The Surgery Is Extremely Difficult

Everyone’s minds went blank for a few seconds, and Janelle Mills’s heart sank to the bottom; her chest was also hit with intense pain."This isn’t just surgical risk; it’s extremely risky..." she murmured softly.

The doctor remained silent, giving them ample time to consider, fully understanding the feelings of the family members who certainly haven’t recovered from the shock.

But, signing the consent form is inevitable.

They were all in shock, including Trevor!

A seven-centimeter tumor in the brain—how serious is that? How could it not have been found earlier!

Janelle Mills buried her head in Trevor’s arms, she cried until she broke down!

Nathan Mills’s bloodshot eyes also shed a tear. He took the pen and surgical consent form from the doctor’s hand and shakily signed his name.

"Doctor, we’re relying on you, waiting for your good news." He bowed at ninety degrees, sincerely saying, "Thank you so much." His heart was aching as if being torn apart.

"Alright, wait here. If there are any emergencies, we will notify you immediately." The doctor empathized, he turned and walked into the emergency room.

The door closed once again.

Nathan Mills slowly backed away, as if hit by a devastating blow, stepping back step by step to the bench, where he sat down somewhat dejectedly.

Janelle Mills buried her head in Trevor’s arms, already crying to the point of trembling all over. She bit her lip tightly, tears streaming down, soaking his collar.

Trevor was also very upset, he held her, stroked her hair, silently praying in his heart.

Everyone was well aware that the risk of brain surgery is extremely high... Even if the surgery is successful, there’s a possibility of becoming a vegetable.

But now, they can only pray, only wait peacefully.

Half an hour quickly passed...

An hour passed...

Two hours passed...

The three waiting outside, their feelings growing increasingly complex, increasingly heavy, were continuously concerned for the person inside.

The doctor also mentioned earlier that if there were any emergencies, he would notify the family.

So the situation now is... temporarily no complications during surgery?

But the longer the surgery drags on, the higher the tension grows, it’s an extreme ordeal.

"It will be alright." Trevor sat with Janelle on the bench, holding her shoulder tightly, gripping her hand, he said softly, "Medical technology is advanced now, the surgery will surely be successful."

"Is Mia Lane really a doctor?" Janelle Mills slowly turned her eyes, tearfully asking, "Will she really operate?" As if her thoughts had just returned.

Seeing her with tearful eyes, Trevor felt very distressed, reaching out to wipe her tears, he asked gently, "Do you trust Dr. Shelby more?"

The girl met his gaze, without speaking, someone who can research a cancer vaccine must be incredible.

Trevor confidently told her, "Mia Lane is Dr. Shelby’s mentor, so... don’t worry too much, her medical skills aren’t inferior to Dr. Shelby’s."

Janelle leaned against him, filled with anxiety, waiting minute by minute, with only trust.

Trevor accompanied her, had already set his phone to silent, and delegated work to Simon and Cecilia Dunn, directly canceled two important meetings in the afternoon.

Trevor was undoubtedly a qualified boyfriend, choosing to stay by his girlfriend’s side during her most fragile and needed moments.

In the emergency room, about ten assistants cooperated closely, this was a gamble with death.

The surgery was led by Mia Lane, a deeply challenging brain surgery that most wouldn’t dare attempt, was proceeding intensely...

The skull was already opened...

The experienced Vice President personally assisted her, the two cooperating seamlessly, this was a professional collaboration, though their first time working together.

Even though Mia Lane hadn’t been operating for a long time, her expertise and calmness greatly increased the surgery’s success rate; her usual study and accumulation made her thoroughly understand human tissue.

When everyone worked hard and successfully opened Carlotta Sterling’s skull, they discovered the condition was even more complex than anticipated.

But for Mia Lane, it was just a bit harder, not impossible; she handled it calmly, judging accurately.

Outside the door, in the silence, everyone quietly cheered for Ms. Mills.
