Sylvia looked at the medical records detailing Giancarlo's condition and furrowed her brow slightly.
Her expression was serious as she spoke, "The tumor is located in the brainstem, which makes it the most risky area to operate on. Mr. Morales' tumor is particularly deep, making the surgery even more difficult. The brainstem is a vital part of the human body that controls important functions such as breathing, heartbeat and circulation. If we're not careful during surgery, there's a risk that his breathing or heartbeat could stop."
"Dr. Sylvia," said the head of neurosurgery with concern in his eyes, "this used to be considered a surgical no-go zone..."
There have been successful cases in recent years but they are very rare and all performed by foreign experts...
"It's okay," Sylvia replied as she looked up at him calmly. "Both Mr. Morales and Ms. Hipps have made significant contributions to society and I cannot simply ignore their illness."
"But Dr. Sylvia," he continued with tears welling up in his eyes, "the success rate for this type of surgery is really low and even if it succeeds there can be severe after-effects... the risks are too great."
Just then Jasmine walked into the room; she glanced at both doctors before turning her attention towards Sylvia.
"My family members and my husband himself have agreed that you will perform this operation personally," Jasmine said firmly.
"If you cannot do it, then we don't know who else can save him." She sighed heavily before continuing. "We've searched for doctors in Lleilaga, or thought about going to Aettosa but... although we are Aettosa people ourselves I still don't know why I trust Dr. Sylvia so much."
Jasmine took a step forward towards Sylvia before grasping her hand tightly.
"Dr. Sylvia, my husband trusts you completely; please take care of him during this operation."
"Don't worry, Ms. Hipps," replied Sylvia reassuringly while patting Jasmine's hand gently. "I promise you that there won't be any risks involved during this procedure." She turned towards head neurosurgeon. "Notify all departmental physicians; consultation will take place at 2 pm today."
"Yes, Doctor," he responded quickly before hurrying off to make arrangements.
Sylvia's words held great authority within Lilypad General Hospital.
As he walked away from them down hospital corridors, he couldn't help but wonder who these elderly couple were exactly? What kind of background did they come from? They must belong to some wealthy family perhaps?
As he was thinking this, he ran into a group of young nurses who were huddled around their phones. "Oh my god! They're really great professors and scientists," one exclaimed.
"Yeah, I didn't expect them to be that amazing."
"It's such a shame they have this illness. God must not be watching. I wonder if Dr. Sylvia can do anything about it."
The director walked over curiously. "What scientists?"
"Director, you don't know? The new patient Giancarlo and his wife are both incredible!" A nurse held up her phone for the director to see. "They may not be from H Rovirsa, but they're still impressive in Aettosa."
The director looked at the famous couple and their past achievements.
No wonder Dr. Sylvia said they've made significant contributions to society...
The director had felt like he recognized the couple's names before but hadn't been able to place them because he didn't usually pay attention to scientific matters.
Now it all made sense.
"Alright, notify everyone that there will be a consultation this afternoon," the director ordered before turning and leaving again.
After hearing Sylvia's decision, Jasmine returned to the hospital room where Giancarlo was sleeping peacefully in bed. He looked very calm while sleeping; perhaps it was due to his age or his illness causing him breathing difficulties.
Jasmine slowly sat down next to him on the bed and reached out as if she wanted to tuck him in tighter with blankets but hesitated before ultimately putting her hand back down for fear of waking him up.
She just sat there quietly beside Giancarlo for what seemed like an eternity until Sylvia entered the room with sunlight streaming through the window casting a golden glow on Jasmine's hair which had turned white over time making her look serene yet radiant at once.
Sylvia remembered seeing them as a couple for the first time at an H Rovirsa restaurant where they exuded confidence and grace just like now; clearly showing how much love they shared between each other even after all these years together as husband and wife
"Are you hungry? There is a cafeteria here..." Sylvia began speaking only for Jasmine gently interrupting her saying, "I'll wait until he wakes up so we can eat together." She smiled warmly at Sylvia, asking, "Has consultation ended?"
Sylvia nodded while placing both hands inside her lab coat pockets showcasing her long neck beautifully. "The surgery is scheduled for tomorrow morning."
