The Masterpiece of Leaving：Prepared A Perfect Stand-In For Him novel Chapter 87

He began, "Indeed, she was a young girl, around sixteen or seventeen years old. At that time, she ran over and said she wanted to remove her own corneas. It frightened me, and I tried to persuade her not to do anything foolish. She seemed very anxious, insisting on saving someone."

"You know as well, no matter how much doctors want to save lives, we can't make a living person blind, especially when the patient is only visually impaired and not in life-threatening danger. It would be absurd to do something like that."

"The hospital director was there at the time and scolded the girl before having the security take her away."

"I thought she had left after that, but to my surprise, a few days later, the hospital director called me into his office and said he wanted me to remove the corneas off someone."

"I thought we were going to remove them from a deceased person, but when I entered the operating room, I found out it was the same girl."

"I don't know what methods she used, but she managed to force the hospital director to agree to do it."

"The hospital director repeatedly assured me that this matter wouldn't implicate me. He just wanted me to do the procedure and keep my mouth shut, never telling anyone."

The sound of ice clinking against the glass filled the room as the doctor took a gulp of water mid-sentence. A decade had passed since the incident, but he still felt a deep sense of guilt and unease when he thought about it.

"I had no choice. You also know that the director of a private hospital is also the boss. How could I not obey him? So..."

The doctor dared not miss Aubrey's expression as he spoke. He saw Aubrey bowing his head, furrowing his brows, and unknowingly clenching his fingers into fists.

His expression was extremely solemn!

This made the doctor's heart skip a beat, and he didn't dare to continue his story.

"What happened afterward?" After a while, Aubrey asked.

His voice was still calm, but it was evident that his emotions were not right.

The doctor couldn't figure out Aubrey's thoughts, so he didn't dare to go against his wishes and continued, "Later... the girl... perhaps you don't know, but removing corneas is a high-risk surgery, especially when performed on a living person, and it had never been done before."

"The girl kept insisting on us to preserve part of her corneas at all costs, so I..."

"Result!" Aubrey interrupted impatiently.

The male doctor trembled and sat up straight. He quickly said, "The girl fell into a coma due to infection during the operation, and we thought... we thought..."

Even though it had been so many years, the male doctor still felt terrified when thinking back to that time, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"At that time, the corneas had already been removed, and if we didn't rush for another operation, it would be a waste. The hospital director had no choice but to send the corneas to the hospital designated by the girl in advance."

"Fortunately, the girl had left relevant information with the hospital director; otherwise, it would have been much more troublesome."

"Did she... wake up?" Aubrey's entire body tensed when he heard about the girl falling into a coma.

The doctor nodded, "She woke up three days later. It was a dangerous situation, and the hospital director didn't let anyone else know. During that time, it was me, him, and a nurse taking care of her. You don't know how afraid we were; we were worried that something terrible might happen."

She woke up eventually, to everyone's relief, and she didn't sue any of us afterward. Shortly after waking up, she left on her own." The doctor patted his chest; this was probably the most perilous thing he had ever experienced in his life.

Aubrey's expression only eased slightly when he heard that the girl had awakened.

"What did the girl ask the director to do with the corneas? What was her name?" Aubrey approached this matter with utmost caution.

"She asked the director to give the corneas to a person named Aubrey. As for the girl herself, her information didn't include her full name; she only wrote down the name 'Navier.'"

"Navier?" Aubrey's eyes widened as he looked at the doctor.

In the next moment, he grabbed the doctor's arm tightly and asked, "Where's the information? Where is it? Show it to me!"

Navier's perspective
