The volunteer did not mind. As long as it meant he could recover, he was willing to endure any pain. “It's okay. I can handle it.”
Luca nodded.
The door to the vehicle opened, and a man stepped inside.
Due to the lack of sterilization, he did not dare approach the inner part of the vehicle. Instead, he placed several bottles of saline on the outside.
“This is the saline that Mr. Shanks prepared. He asked you to inject it when you can,” the man relayed Shanks' message.
“Got it.” Luca reached out to take the bottles. After thoroughly disinfecting them, she brought them inside.
It was more complicated than being in a hospital.
Since the volunteer's body was still weak. They had to maintain as sterile an environment as possible.
However, it still fell short of the ICU's standard.
Luca stayed with the volunteer until evening. Gerald stood outside the medical vehicle and called, “Ms. Craw, it's time for dinner.”
Luca took off her protective gear and stepped outside.
“Ms. Craw, dinner is ready,” said Gerald when he saw her coming out. She had not eaten during the surgery earlier, so she could not skip dinner.
“You made it?” Luca eyed the tray of food. It did not look very appetizing.
“Yes.” Gerald noticed her distaste. “I made some for Mr. Shanks and Ms. Sanchez too, but they weren't impressed either.”
Shanks and Hera had grown accustomed to more refined meals, so when Gerald brought them their food, they made faces as if they were served something unappetizing.
There was nothing Gerald could do about it. His cooking skills were limited, and as long as it was not burned, he considered it a success.
Luca nodded. “I’m not impressed either.”
Gerald did not expect her to be so blunt. “Ms. Craw, I know the taste isn’t great, but it’s better than nothing.”
“Do you have instant noodles?” asked Luca. She had no desire to even try a bite of the food he made.
“We do.” Gerald understood that she did not want to eat the food he prepared. “How about I make you a bowl of instant noodles?”
“Sure,” replied Luca.
Gerald left with the tray and returned shortly with a bowl of instant noodles. “Here, Ms. Craw. Instant noodles.”
“Thanks,” replied Luca as she took the bowl and sat down to eat them while they were still hot.
Gerald sat next to her, looking at the medical vehicle. “How’s the person inside doing?”
“Everything’s normal,” replied Luca.
Gerald added, “That's pretty amazing.”
Luca knew he was referring to the surgery they had just done.
She did not say anything and continued to eat.
“Dr. Craw, do you think he’ll really be able to see?” Gerald sounded almost skeptical.
“Probably.” Luca thought that if the volunteer could not regain his sight, Shanks’ research during this time would be in vain.
Whenever Shanks conducted research, he was always confident that he had at least a 90% chance of success before he would proceed. Unlike other medical professionals who believed anything was possible, Shanks would not conduct research unless he was almost certain of the outcome.
Gerald listened to Luca’s words and could not help but hiss and comment, “That's just unbelievable.”
Luca finished her instant noodles, handed the empty bowl to him, and returned to the vehicle.
“Ms. Craw, are you going to rest in the vehicle tonight?” asked Gerald.
“Yes, his condition requires personal care.” Luca did not mind. With Luke not around, it did not matter where she rested.
She entered the medical vehicle, disinfected herself, and then sat down next to the volunteer.
The volunteer smiled and asked, “Ms. Craw, have you had dinner?”
