After confirming the serious expression on her face, Zhai Yunsheng nodded slightly and was the first to walk out of the control room.

Seeing the boss leave, the people in the cardiology department began to chatter.

Knowing that Zhai Yunsheng hadn’t said a word from start to finish, it was clear he had confidence in his nephew Cao Yong’s performance all along.

"As long as Dr. Cao is there, it’s not easy for a surgery to fail," the people in the cardiology department sighed with a laugh, feeling their previous worry here was just a waste of emotion and concern.

However, being able to witness and learn from an excellent surgery firsthand was absolutely worth it.

For those seeing Cao Yong perform surgery for the first time, though, it might be a bit of a blow. Thinking of this, Lin Chenrong also looked at classmate Xie Wanying.

Jin Tianyu said to him, "Let’s go."

It was evident that this ruthless senior from the eight-year program had no intention of comforting the younger sister who might be feeling discouraged.

Why comfort? If comfort were useful, he would be willing to comfort his junior brothers and sisters a hundred thousand times. Jin Tianyu didn’t even need to think about it.

The fact is that comfort is of no use at all. Accept the reality as soon as possible. Knowing where you are lacking compared to others, you can only strive to catch up. The mindset of a doctor needs to be adjusted. Because the medical field is a place full of top students, there are always those better than oneself. The other layer of meaning to the saying that doctors learn all their lives is here.

The sounds of people talking around gradually faded into silence.

Until the nurse came to clear the room for disinfection, Xie Wanying left alone.

Speaking of the patient, after being sent back to the ward, they were put under post-operative monitoring.

After all, the invasive surgery involved minimal trauma and used local instead of general anesthesia, so Doctor Hu was conscious during and after the surgery. After resting for a while, she opened her eyes.

"Old Liu."

Called by his wife Doctor Hu, the accompanying Mr. Liu hurriedly approached the bedside to ask, "How are you feeling?"

"Am I dreaming?" Doctor Hu said with her lips trembling slightly.

Hearing her say this, Mr. Liu was alarmed and anxiously wanted to go out and find a doctor, fearing that his wife was talking nonsense after the surgery.

"No," Doctor Hu said urgently. She meant that her previously blurry vision had now turned bright, making her feel as if she had suddenly flown from hell to heaven.

It was a happiness akin to a dream, almost bringing her to tears, but she dared not cry, fearing that crying would cause her to lose sight again.

"Can you see my face?" Hearing his wife say she could see things, Mr. Liu excitedly danced at the patient’s bedside and pointed to his own face to ask.

"Yes, I can," Doctor Hu affirmed.

"I’ll go get the doctor to come and take a look at you," Mr. Liu, fearing it was a dream, also wanted to run out to find a doctor.

Before he reached the door, the attending doctor came in with others for rounds.

"Dr. Cao," Mr. Liu hurriedly described the situation of the patient waking up and reporting her own condition to the attending doctor, "She said she could see me now, is she talking nonsense?"

"It’s impossible for her to be talking nonsense," Cao Yong gently replied to the patient’s family member, "Her vision should have somewhat recovered now, better than before. The exact degree of vision recovery will be determined after it’s stabilized, when we will invite an ophthalmologist for a consultation. However, even if she recovers, caution must still be exercised. She will require long-term treatment to prevent further thrombus formation in her body, otherwise, sooner or later, problems will arise either in her eyes or elsewhere in her body."

After speaking, Cao Yong led the team to the patient’s bedside to carefully examine her post-operative condition.
