Late at night, a group of surgeons on full alert stood outside the operating room in one line.
Although none of them complained about having to work overtime, Roxanne felt ill at ease. Not only did she announce they would get three times the overtime pay for that night and additional bonuses, but she also ordered lots of takeout food for them.
Meanwhile, Madilyn carefully set Lorraine down on her stomach and began the CT scan.
In no time, she submitted the CT images to Roxanne.
Lucian arrived at that moment with Cerulean Needle Technique in his hand.
“Don't worry. I've asked Mom and Dad to come to our house and watch the kids. I'll stay with you tonight. You must be tired. Let me make some coffee for you.”
Lucian's presence gave Roxanne more confidence. She relaxed a little, and she was able to concentrate better.
After making coffee, Lucian blew it for a while to cool it down.
Roxanne's attention, however, was focused on the CT images. The CT images taken from the back were indeed clearer.
As Roxanne had guessed, there was something wrong with that mark.
It was not just an ordinary mark. Roxanne pieced the images taken from different angles together and finally identified it to be a tiny oblong.
“As expected, it's a tumor.” Despite finding the cause of the problem, Roxanne could not cheer up.
The tumor was positioned right on the aorta, which most, if not all doctors, dared not to operate on.
That was because no matter how careful and attentive a doctor was, there was a big possibility that the patient's blood vessels would burst, which would result in severe blood loss.
A solemn look clouded Roxanne's face. The cup of coffee Lucian had passed her remained in her grip, but she had long forgotten about it.
At that moment, Madilyn hurried over.
