"Let her rest today; we can conduct the tests tomorrow."
The cornea transplant surgery is quite advanced now. Although there is a chance of failure, generally, with successful transplantation and proper care, there is no risk of it coming loose again.
Eric Candi stood quietly at a distance, watching Aldana Candi's face in calm slumber, a face that looked so peaceful. Seven years of resentment were so easily dispelled...

As if bidding farewell.
