Chapter 370
After we showed George everything we brought, the three of us sat on chairs like criminals. waiting for the judge to pronounce their sentence.
George took out the papers and looked through them carefully. He also grabbed the imagery and inspected it against a projector. Then, he put everything back on his desk and looked at us.
He smiled, amused by our anxiousness. He smirked so brightly. His ruby lips parted like at blossoming red peony.
Colin and Felix were both handsome men, but they were attractive in their own ways.
Felix was scholarly while Colin was flirty. And George was simply exuberant.
“So George, can you do it? What’s the chance of success?” asked Matthew.
“It’s not a complicated case. If I operate on him, I’ll say more than 90%. However, I need to conduct a comprehensive checkup on him before surgery.”
I almost jumped from my seat and cheered. But Colin pulled me down and continued politely, ” Mr. George, what will happen if the 10% occurs?”
George glanced at us, surprised. Then, he uttered, “I’m very confident in my own skill. However, I didn’t say 100% because oftentimes, this kind of case requires luck and human cooperation.”
Then, he threw us a look of bemusement.
“So, do you want to take your chances?” George lifted his chin proudly. “If yes, you’ll check in now. We’ll perform a check–up and prepare everything. I’m free the morning of the day after
tomorrow.”
Colin and I waited for Felix’s answer. He was the patient here. Even a skillful doctor had to rely on the cooperation of his patient.
Felix raised his head and answered, “Yes.”
Helen suggested we get food together. But Matthew said no and left with Helen, saying that he had a family gathering at night. He said we should use the time to rest properly. The meal could be saved for another day. It didn’t have to be on that day.
