Chapter 884 You Can Leave When They Wake Up
Bianca explained Dennis's condition to Abella, adding, "From a medical standpoint, once we perform the surgery, we have to open up the heart. The fear is that the heart might suddenly hemorrhage during the procedure. Given Mr. Medici's esteemed status, without a seventy to eighty percent certainty, we dare not proceed with the surgery."
"But now, with you here, we can finally breathe a sigh of relief." Bianca smiled.
"Dr. Wilson, do you think it's possible to make a small incision near the bullet and remove it with minimal risk, without opening the chest cavity?" Bianca asked humbly.
"The bullet has been lodged in his heart for several months, and it's fused with the heart tissue. In this situation, we must open the chest cavity."
In the past, Bianca and her team would never have dared to open Dennis's chest cavity.
But now, with Abella here, she was their beacon of hope.
Bianca believed that Dennis would finally be free from his suffering today!
Soon, the lights in the operating room came on.
In another newly opened VIP ward, Theo lay on the bed, eating grapes. As he casually spat out the seeds, a bodyguard immediately stepped forward to catch them.
"Make sure to catch them all. If any fall to the ground and I get upset, one phone call and Mr. Medici's life will be..." He made a killing gesture.
The bodyguards tensed up, not daring to relax, their eyes fixed on him, holding disposable bowls, not letting their guard down for even a second.
In the operating room, Echo administered anesthesia to Dennis, Bianca disinfected the surgical area, and Abella swiftly and decisively opened the patient's chest cavity, making a cross-shaped incision in the heart.
The operating room was equipped with surveillance cameras, so when Louie saw this scene, he couldn't believe his eyes and was completely stunned.
He hadn't expected that the seemingly teenage Abella would have such quick and precise skills. Her confident and clear eyes seemed to have witnessed countless major surgeries, and even when facing a distinguished patient, she didn't hesitate for a second.
So composed and calm, like a veteran doctor with decades of experience, the entire surgical process was smooth and seamless.
Listening to one professional term after another coming from Abella's mouth, watching her and Bianca's flawless cooperation, seeing her skilled techniques on Dennis, Louie suddenly realized how lucky they were to have Abbott perform the surgery.
He hadn't expected that the Abbott they had been searching for months was right in front of them.
Thinking back to Abella's impressive debut, able to defeat professional fighters, outpace professional racers, and now surpass professional doctors.
Abella was truly extraordinary, making everyone see her in a new light.
At that moment, someone knocked on the door.
Louie turned to see Terry Perez, a member of a prominent family.
The Perez family wielded immense power both domestically and internationally, with numerous industries, including Evergreen Hospital, which was under Terry's name.
"Mr. Perez." Louie greeted him politely.
Terry nodded slightly. He was already handsome and refined, and his smile now carried a hint of sunshine. With gold-rimmed glasses on his nose, he looked both pure and alluring.
"I heard Mr. Medici is having surgery at my hospital, so I came to check on him."
The confident and clear eyes of the lead surgeon in the surveillance footage, along with her strong presence, piqued Terry's curiosity.
"Is this the doctor you brought?" His gaze fell on the delicate-looking girl in the surveillance footage. "How old is she? She's already performing surgeries?"
"She's Abbott," Louie informed him.
"The renowned Abbott, whose whereabouts are a mystery? She's actually a young girl?" Terry found it amusing. Many had thought Abbott was an elderly person.
"So, the bullet in Mr. Medici's heart can be removed?"
With Abbott here, it shouldn't be a problem.
"Abbott said she has a hundred percent certainty," Louie replied.
Terry's gaze carried admiration. Abbott indeed, was able to give a hundred percent guarantee.
He wondered how stunning the face behind that mask must be.
He knew some details about Dennis's condition. At the time, all the top doctors in the hospital couldn't guarantee the surgery's success. He hadn't expected that, after a few months, they would find Abbott to perform the surgery for Dennis.
"Mr. Medici can rest assured in my hospital post-surgery. I'll ensure he gets the best ward and the finest service, wishing him a speedy recovery."
"Thank you, Mr. Perez." Louie bowed in gratitude. "On behalf of Mr. Medici and all our friends, thank you for your kindness."
"No need to be so formal."
Three hours later, the bullet lodged in Dennis's heart was finally removed.
According to existing records, globally, only five people have survived after being shot in the heart, and in Libertya, Dennis was the first.
"Dr. Wilson, your skills have truly opened my eyes," Bianca said excitedly. "I've learned so much."
"Me too. Mr. Medici is really lucky." Echo said with relief. "This bullet has been in his heart for several months, and during this time, he miraculously continued to live normally..."
"The most important thing is that he waited for you to perform the surgery, Dr. Wilson. If it were us, we wouldn't have had such confidence."
"Now, Mr. Medici has no more worries and won't suffer from recurring issues. Dr. Wilson, why was Mr. Medici able to survive after being shot in the heart?" Echo asked humbly.
Abella calmly explained, "The bullet didn't enter the heart directly from the back of the chest cavity but from another angle into the myocardium. It didn't enter the heart chamber or cause severe damage to the blood vessels in the heart muscle. Instead, it was gradually encapsulated by the myocardium, so Mr. Medici didn't die from massive bleeding at the time and miraculously survived until now."
"I guessed as much," Bianca said. "If it had hit a blood vessel, he would have been dead long ago."
Abella nodded, agreeing with her assessment.
"Dr. Wilson, could you stay for a bit and sign an autograph for me?"
"Dr. Wilson, can I take a photo with you? I also have a few questions I'd like to ask. It will only take a few minutes."
Abella agreed.
After taking photos, signing autographs, and answering a few questions, Abella changed out of her sterile gown, disinfected her hands, and left the operating room.
The operating room door opened, and Dr. Bianca and Dr. Echo wheeled Dennis out. Louie hurried forward, "Mr. Medici..."
"He's still unconscious. He'll wake up in two hours."
Hearing Abella's words, Louie and his team surrounded her, "Sorry, Dr. Wilson, you can't leave until Mr. Medici wakes up."
