Chapter 562 Failed
As a doctor, James naturally understood the patient's concerns. He comforted him, "Mr. Abbott, we will do our best. Please rest assured."
Finnegan said in a deep voice, "James, can I ask for a favor?"
James replied, "Sure, Mr. Abbott."
Outside the ward, Ophelia felt very anxious.
She prayed that the surgery would be successful. If it failed, Finnegan's confidence would be affected.
Even though Finnegan didn't say it out loud, Ophelia knew he was desperate to regain his sight.
Jude and Celia were also there today, and Caspian, knowing about the surgery in the afternoon, had come as well.
After a while, James came out of the ward and said, "The surgery will start in ten minutes. The patient can be taken to the operating room now."
"Okay," Ophelia responded and walked into the ward.
With the help of medical staff, Finnegan came out in a wheelchair.
"Finnegan." Ophelia walked over to push the wheelchair, and the medical staff stepped aside.
Finnegan gently patted Ophelia's hand and smiled warmly, "Don't worry."
At this moment, Finnegan was the one comforting Ophelia.
Ophelia hugged Finnegan from behind and kissed him on the cheek. "I'll be waiting for you outside."
"Alright," Finnegan smiled. "With this kiss, everything will go smoothly."
Ophelia smiled and pushed Finnegan out.
Jude and Celia also cheered him on.
Caspian said, "Finnegan, don't worry, it will be successful."
Susan, due to her condition, couldn't come but had called to confirm the time before the surgery.
Finnegan was taken into the operating room, and the surgery would take at least three hours.
Ophelia said to Celia, "Mom, why don't you and Dad go home for now?"
"It's okay. I'll stay here," Celia said. "Otherwise, I won't be at ease."
Even if the surgery was done today, they wouldn't know if his vision would be restored until the bandages were removed.
Ophelia didn't insist, and they waited from dawn until dusk.
Lynn also arrived. "Ophelia, is the surgery over?"
"It's been more than three hours. It should end soon." Ophelia was very anxious, it tooklonger than the doctor had estimated.
As long as Finnegan hadn't come out, her heart was in suspense.
Lynn could see the tension on their faces and didn't ask more, waiting quietly on the side.
Around seven in the evening, when it was completely dark, the door of the operating room opened, and James came out.
Ophelia rushed forward. "James, how is he?"
Everyone looked at James eagerly, waiting for his answer.
James said, "It didn't go very well. Now we can only wait until the bandages are removed."
These words were a heavy blow to everyone, and the atmosphere became tense.
Before the surgery, they were told there was only a 30% chance of success.
This result was somewhat expected, but everyone had hoped for that 30% chance, so they were still disappointed.
Ophelia was the first to come back to her senses. "Thank you."
Celia and Jude looked upset. Celia's eyes were red, and she turned away to wipe her tears. "Finnegan is only in his thirties. How can he live as a blind man?"
Jude was also distressed but tried to comfort Celia, "It's not over yet. Don't worry, maybe a miracle will happen."
Ophelia listened to their conversation but didn't know how to comfort them. She needed comfort herself.
Lynn walked over, held her hand, and offered silent support.
Everyone would feel sorry for a once proud and successful man becoming blind.
Ophelia shook her head at Lynn, forcing a smile to show she was okay.
Caspian said, "If this surgery fails, we'll find the best doctor in the world. We have money. I believe he will be fine."
Ophelia said, "Caspian, please take my parents home. Finnegan is under anesthesia and won't wake up for a while. You guys have been waiting here for so long and must be tired. Go home and rest."
"Alright, Ophelia, leave it to me," Caspian said, then turned to Celia and Jude. "Let's go."
Celia and Jude were also feeling down, but staying there wouldn't help, so they left.
When they got home, Lloyd had just returned and asked, "Jude, how did Finnegan's surgery go? I had something to do this afternoon and couldn't go to the hospital."
Jude said dejectedly, "The chances are slim. I think this so-called eye specialist James Smith is a fraud. We need to find another doctor."
