Performing heart surgery on a fetus-such a groundbreaking medical innovation drew not only the hospital's full
attention but also the media's.
Aaron was there as well.
When Lena saw him standing in the center alongside the hospital director, it finally dawned on her just how
significant Aaron’s position was.
But why? What exactly gave him this level of influence?
She made a mental note to ask him about it once the surgery was over.
Lena was fully suited in surgical scrubs-deep blue isolation garments, a matching cap, and a face mask, leaving
only her eyes visible. This focus on her eyes made their natural brilliance even more striking.
“Good luck to all of you!” the director said as a final send-off before they entered the operating room.
Nate, the lead surgeon, looked just as prepared as Lena. Both nodded briefly at the director before heading to
the surgical table, exchanging a few words as they began their work.
“Mr. Ace, you may not know, but this Nate and your niece grew up together. Childhood sweethearts, so to speak.
Rumor has it they admired each other back in school, and now, having achieved their respective successes,
they've ctogether. This whole project- bringing such a significant procedure to our hospital-is all for your
family’s Lena,” the director said smugly, eager to highlight the hospital's connection.
Aaron’s gaze stayed fixed on the two figures through the glass observation window. His voice was calm and cool.
“Oh? | thought it was thanks to your efforts, Director Gray. | was just thinking of recommending you for a first-

Inside the operating room, Lena and Nate exchanged a brief glance, signaling the start of the procedure. The
team moved with methodical precision, each member focused on their role. Outside, the observers were tense,
watching in complete silence.
This surgery wasn’t just a medical milestone; it carried a weighty significance. The pregnant woman's
grandfather was a high-ranking official in Seavora, though he had kept a low profile. Aaron had subtly informed
the director of this fact earlier, heightening the stakes.
If the surgery succeeded, it would bring widespread acclaim to the hospital and everyone involved. But any
misstep could lead to severe consequences-condemnation, and

perhaps even the director's removal.
The operation lasted over three hours, with not a single person leaving the observation
room.
During this time, Aaron witnessed a different side of Lena-focused, efficient, and unsmiling. She was a
commander on the battlefield, decisive and sharp, worlds apart from her usual softness and playful charm.
Seeing her like this, his heart ached.
She was so young, yet here she was, standing at the operating table, wielding a scalpel, facing the harsh
realities of blood and life.
He remembered when she was a child, crying over the slightest scrape or nosebleed. Now, those small fears had
transformed into courage, as her hands worked amidst blood to save
lives.
She had grown up.
It was he who hadn't grown-still seeing her as the little girl she used to be. It wasn’t until he learned she was
dating someone that he realized how careless he had been.
After three and a half hours, the surgery was complete. The busy hands of Nate and Lena cto a stop, and
the room fell into silence for a moment before the announcement
came:
“The surgery was a success. Total time: three hours, thirty-two minutes, and fifteen seconds.”
A wave of cheers erupted both inside and outside the operating room.

“Congratulations, Professor Neumann! Congratulations, Dr. Lane! And thank you to all the medical staff for your

When Nate and Lena exited the operating room the director and other key personnel were the first to offer their
congratulations.
Nate nodded politely, his arm still casually resting on Lena’s shoulder as they stepped out.
