"When is the surgery?"
Riley stood up and looked smugly at Myriade.
"Today."

Meanwhile, the surgery was happening as planned. When Hesper was rolled into the operation theatre, her heart was beating anxiously.
"What's wrong?" The doctor realized that she was nervous, so he consoled her. "Don't worry, I've never had a failed surgery before. What's more, you're in stable condition, so even if Julian were to perform the surgery, we'd still be fine."
Hesper's lips smiled when she heard that, then she nodded. "I guess I'm just too nervous."
The surgery was held in the local hospital, which was well-equipped. When anesthesia was injected into her body, Hesper soon lost consciousness.
Julian and the doctor exchanged looks. They had worked together on countless surgeries. Just as the doctor had said, Hesper was in good condition, so there was no way the surgery would fail.

Rickard sat outside the operation theatre and Benji flew over from Halwanest. The surgery wasn't a small procedure, so if something happened, he could help Rickard out.
"Mr. Duval, you should rest."
Benji looked at how tired Rickard was and immediately knew that he wasn't able to sleep well for the past few days. His boss was already anxious about the surgery before, but then Hesper was taken too, so he hadn't been able to sleep for a few consecutive nights.
