Chapter 52 - Operation Complete

"Michael... What if Larry fails?". asked Sophia anxiously.

"He actually killed people." Michael said quietly.

Sophia was shocked. "Killing people?"

"Yeah, but he's never failed an operation". Michael replied with a smile.

"You are sure?".

"I've seen him perform surgery under pressure due to lack of equipment. Therefore I have no doubts about his abilities".

"In that case, I will try to believe all that because he is our hope". Sophia said while winning herself over. 

Michael just smiled seeing Sophia's attitude which he thought was very funny.

6 hours later the OR lights went out, everyone stood up tense.

Not long after that, Larry came out of the OR.

"How was the operation?". Ask the Director.

Larry immediately explained the situation in great detail.

"Essentially, the operation was very successful."

Hearing that brief explanation, everyone felt relieved.

"However, patients must still be monitored closely, because the risk of bleeding and stroke due to clotting can occur after surgery." Larry added.

"Of course, hopefully there won't be any complications for him." 

"Director, my work is done, I'm leaving because I have things to do". Larry said as he turned around.

"Wait, are you going back to check on the patient's condition?" asked the Director.

"There are a lot of great Doctors here. So, I'm not needed anymore. Excuse me!". Larry replied as he resumed his steps. He didn't forget to wave his hand lazily.

As soon as Larry left, the other Doctors came out of the OR.

"He's a crazy doctor." Renata said.

"What is it?". asked the Director while frowning.

"He deserves the nickname angel hand, his surgical skills are very fast and neat. As if to him it's not a human body, I was worried when he cut off the Aorta arch and replaced it with a graft. But he managed to do it so well that we were able to complete the operation in 6 hours. To me he is not only a cardiologist but an amazing surgeon. Director, can you tell me who he is?". Renata was so excited, she forgot what she had told the Director earlier.

Unfortunately the Director only gave a smile, because he couldn't have given any information about Larry if he didn't say so himself.

Renata looked disappointed to see the director just smiled and didn't answer her question, she immediately left from there.

Meanwhile, Michael was not surprised by Renata's explanation. Because he had seen Larry who was more extraordinary than them. 

"Can I witness Larry's prowess during his surgery? I'm really curious to hear the doctor's story". whispered Sophia.

"Yes". Michael replied while squinting his eyes.

Sophia was immediately happy and excited. 

"When?". 

"Tomorrow he will definitely have an operation, even more sadistic than now, because after the surgery he will bury him. So, if you want to see him then you have to go to his house". Michael replied, holding back a smile.

"Why did he do that?" Sophia shuddered in horror, but she grew even more curious about Larry.

"He shouldn't bury it but fry it so it can be eaten." Michael said while holding back his smile when he saw Sophia's confident expression. 

Sophia was immediately furious to hear what Michael said.

"Can't you be serious!" Asked Sophia while glaring at Michael.

"He really loves his pet fish. So, if the fish dies then he will dissect it to find out the cause of death. After that he just buried it. That's what I mean". Michael explained his point quickly before Sophia got really mad at him.

"It is not funny". Sophia was already annoyed, therefore she turned her face away from Michael with a frown. 

Michael also apologized sincerely, after that they went with the others to see the Minister before they went home.

A few moments later.

Larry had finished changing his clothes, he immediately walked towards the exit feeling confused. His body trembled at the memory of the surgery he had just had after a year of not doing it.

Just then, he stopped in front of the Orthopedic department, when he heard footsteps following him from behind.

"Larry...?". 

Larry immediately turned around when he heard his name being called, the voice was so familiar to Larry that he didn't know where to turn.

Larry was stunned when he saw a beautiful woman in a doctor's coat looking at him with a very gentle gaze.

"You ... ?". Larry's tongue stiffened at the mention of the woman's name.

"Long time no see, Doctor Larry Alexander ...!". The girl said with a smile.

Larry smiled bitterly as he said. "You still remember me."

The girl took a few steps closer to Larry.

"Do you have time? Is there something I want to say?" asked the girl.

Larry looked away, not because he hated her, it was just that he was disappointed and didn't want to talk to her anymore.

"Looks like there's nothing more to talk about between us, so sorry I have to go!". Larry answered firmly.

"Just a moment, I beg you!". The girl blocked his way with her hands folded. 

Larry's heart couldn't bear to see the girl's expression, for a moment he was silent considering what she was going to do.

After a long silence, Larry finally nodded. The girl looked happy because Larry wanted to give her a chance to talk.

A moment later the girl brought Larry into her room. 

Larry rolled his eyes to observe the girl's room which was quite large and quiet like its owner. 

After that, Larry sat gracefully in the guest chair directly opposite the girl.

"Go straight to the point, because I can't stay long!". said Larry sarcastically.

"You're still the same, arrogant weasel." The girl smiled at Larry who she thought had not changed.

Larry smirked at the girl as he said. "I'm too busy to just make small talk, you have 10 minutes to say what you want to say!".

Hearing Larry's words, the girl looked at him in disappointment.

"3 years ago, why didn't you keep your promise?" asked the girl quietly.

Larry was silent for a moment, he brought his memories to the past with complicated feelings. 

Moments Later.

"For three years, I've been trying to see you. However, you are very difficult to find. That's why I was waiting for you here when I heard about you from my colleague. Who else is the doctor who is nicknamed the angel's hand besides you!".. Said the girl while shedding tears.
