On a sunny afternoon, Aldana Candi underwent tendon reconstruction surgery.
Liam Summer talked it over with his mentor and still decided to put Aldana under general anesthesia.
The surgery would take a long time, employing a lot of precise techniques, and Aldana had to lie motionless on the bed for an unknown period. It was a great pressure on her both mentally and physically.
As Liam Summer wheeled her into the operating room, she rarely showed a trace of nervousness on her face.
Liam Summer, this time acting as his mentor's assistant, had already changed into a white coat. Several nurses gently helped her onto the operating table. Aldana lay under the shadowless lamp, watching Liam Summer and his mentor discussing something in Italian, presumably about her surgery.
She couldn't understand it, but still tried to perk up her ears, hoping to glean some meaning from their tones that she could comprehend.
