After a long time, she closed her eyes and pinched her eyebrows as she looked outside. It was getting dark.

What was she doing just now?

She was staring at the bag Like a teenage girl imagining how Sheffield would react.

She glanced at her watch. It was 19:20. Nearly ten hours had passed since she and Sheffield last talked.

Maybe he had already left the operating table. She wondered why he hadn't even texted her yet.

Standing in front of the French windows for ten more minutes, she couldn't take it anymore. She took the bag with the pen and left the office.

In Alorith First General Hospital

After ten hours and five minutes, the operation was finally over.

The surgery was a success. Everyone in the operating room was relieved.

Cheers could be heard from the OR, and the doctors and nurses were all smiles.

With no time to take off his scrubs, Sheffield slid down the wall and sat on the ground, head down. He was exhausted.

The doctors and nurses near him rushed over and asked, “Sheffield, what's wrong?"

“Sheffield, are you okay?"

“Let's get you up, doc!"

Sheffield took off his mask and waved at them.

“Don't worry. Nothing a week in the tropics wouldn't fix." He gave them a weak grin, a pale imitation of his joker's smile.

“Oh man! You must be exhausted, doc.”

“You're awesome, Sheffield! I've never seen such a difficult surgery.

It's really an honor!"

A male doctor, whose hair was thinning, wiped the sweat from his forehead and sighed, "Me too! I've been a surgeon for so many years, but this is the first time that I have seen a doctor perform an operation that way. I was so scared I didn't know what to do. I would have flinched if Sheffield hadn't been so confident."

“Sheffield, you hit a new record. Let's go party!"

Shaking his head with a smile, Sheffield said, “Let's have dinner another day. There's a bed at home with my name on it." He planned to stay with Evelyn tonight.

“Okay. Let me help you up. Then you can go home and get some rest."

Sheffield refused their help. He stood up with his hands against the wall. He stretched out and rolled his neck, and felt much better.

Right after he walked out of the operation room and put his clothes into the biohazard bin, he saw a nurse walking towards him with his phone.
