When Her Death Couldn't Break Him novel Chapter 952

Chapter 952 Blind Or Intellectually Disabled
“Nathaniel, I'm absolutely certain it's due to that piece of glass. Now we need to schedule the surgery, but this operation could carry significant risks,” said Zachary, sitting down.

Nathaniel asked, “What risks?”

“The location of that glass fragment is particularly precarious, surrounded by numerous brain nerves,” Zachary said, concern etched on his face. “If the surgery isn't executed flawlessly, you could end up with cognitive impairment.”

This was precisely why he had hesitated to remove the foreign object despite having seen it clearly before stitching up Nathaniel's wound. Brain surgery requires immense precision; even the smallest error could result in a lifetime of suffering for the patient.

Nathaniel fell into a lengthy silence. “How confident are you?”

“Less than half.” Zachary sighed.

It wasn't that he doubted his skills; he was sure that none of the surgeons in the country could be as confident as him.

Nathaniel did not make a decision immediately.

People suffering from cognitive impairment, in simpler terms, could be referred to as fools. Though Nathaniel was blind, his mind remained sharp. He could still earn a living, providing for Cecilia and their children, ensuring they never lacked for anything. But if he were to lose that clarity, the consequences would be unimaginable.

“I need more time to think,” replied Nathaniel.

“You need to act fast,” Zachary added. “The longer the fragments remain in the brain, the lower the chances of a successful surgery.”

“Understood.” Nathaniel paused for a moment before he added, “Remember, don't share this with anyone.”

“Got it.” Zachary nodded.

Only then did Nathaniel leave the treatment room.

Mason, waiting outside, approached to lead the way for Nathaniel upon seeing him come out. “Mr. Rainsworth, your injury is fine now, right?”

Nathaniel, not wanting him to worry, said, “Yes, it's completely healed now.”

“That's a relief. Shall we head to the company now?”

“Mm-hmm.”

Mason and Nathaniel exchanged a few words on their way out of the hospital.
