Changing only for her (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 482

Chapter 482

“Ms. Tanner, Mr. Tristan's someone important. We can't take any risks,” the others reminded Sophie.

“I understand. Don't worry. I'll take responsibility if anything. Nothing will happen to you guys,” she assured.

Just like that, the surgery began.

Sophie tried to calm down and told herself to treat Tristan like a regular patient instead of her boyfriend.

He's just like all other patients. I just need to do my part as usual.

The other head physicians dared not breathe a word as the operation began.

"Scalpel,” Sophie uttered.

Seeing the determination on her face, a surgeon quickly stepped up and passed her the scalpel like an assistant.

“Don't worry, Ms. Tanner. I'll assist you,” he said. Everyone there was a doctor, so they knew they should not shirk responsibility at a time like that.

They had mentally prepared themselves to bear the responsibility if anything went wrong during Tristan's surgery.

Sophie nodded at the surgeon, who passed her the scalpel, and started removing the bullet.

Compared to the operation she performed on Tristan when they first met, the part where the bullet lodged was trickier to access, so the surgery progressed rather slowly.

Still, the surgeon was relieved when Sophie made the first incision, for he had never witnessed such skilled hands in his life.

The girl before him did not look experienced, but her skills were much better than Arius'.

It was as if that pair of hands were made to hold a scalpel.

Sophie continued the operation with full concentration. Every cut was precise, but her movement was slow and careful because the surgery was complicated.

It was not until two hours later that Sophie finally removed the bullet. After that, she stitched and dressed the wound.

"Well done, Ms. Tanner!”

The surgery took a good four hours, and the nurses kept wiping the sweat off Sophie's forehead, and everyone heaved a sigh of relief when they saw that Sophie had finally removed the bullet.

They were impressed by the girl.

“Good job, Ms. Tanner!” the surgeon exclaimed. Although he had more than twenty years of experience himself, he was not confident that the surgery would be successful, but Sophie did it anyway.

Sophie kept quiet, receiving the compliments.

She knew that was just the beginning, for the next twenty-four hours would be the most defining moment.

She held Tristan's hand, hoping that he would regain consciousness within that time.

“Tristan, you promised me you would spend the rest of your life with me. I won't let you go. Not even death can take you away from me.”

That was the first time she had attempted such a complicated surgery, but she did not waver for one bit, for she loved Tristan and wanted to do her best to save him.

After the operating room's door opened, Sophie took down her mask.

“Sophie? Why are you in there? How's Tristan?” Sarah was surprised to see her there.

“The surgery went well. The next twenty-four hours will be the most critical period.” Sophie was spent after a complex surgery.

It so happened that Arius had just arrived as well.

“Did you do it all on your own?”

“Yes. Where were you? We were trying to contact you,” Sophie asked, wondering why Arius was unreachable when he was in Jipsdale itself.

“Something came up. How's Tristan?” Arius asked anxiously. He knew how tiring conducting a surgery was—let alone one that took four hours.

“I'm good. I just hope Tristan can recover.”

As for Lincoln, he walked past Sophie and went straight over to Tristan when he saw the latter being wheeled to the intensive care unit. All he could think of at that moment was Tristan's safety.
