Chapter 113: I will do the surgery (2)

"I understand. I know the feeling more than anyone," Wang Yu Yan said in a low and emotionless voice. 

Listening to this, Li Wei sighed, and put down his hands. 

He ruffled his hair in frustration, and then finally said, "I want some time alone."

Wang Yu Yan sighed and said, "You need to think clearly."

Li Wei did not say anything, he was quiet. 

Wang Yu Yan took a deep breath and touched his hands with hers. 

Feeling her touch, Li Wei became somewhat relaxed. 

Wang Yu Yan on seeing this, was going to take back her hand, but before she could do it, Li Wei held her palm. 

Wang Yu Yan was startled by his movement, but she decided to let him be. 

Li Wei gazed at their intertwined hands. 

Unbeknownst to him, it gave him a feeling of comfort. 

Feeling that he was not alone, feeling that he won't be alone. 

He clutched her hand tighter. 

"I know that no one wants to do the surgery," Wang Yu Yan said. 

Putting a light smile on her face, she said, "But, I can do it."

On hearing this, Li Wei moved his face to see Wang Yu Yan. 

Seeing in her eyes, he felt peace. 

"Don't worry. I will do my best to me to heal your mother," Wang Yu Yan said with an assuring tone. 

Even the smallest act of caring for another person is like a drop of water, it can create ripples throughout the pond. 

And what Wang Yu Yan did, was enough for him to have hope and when there is hope, there is life. 

Li Wei without thinking anything else, pulled Wang Yu Yan into his arms. 

Wang Yu Yan was surprised at this. 

But sometimes all you need is someone to wrap your arms around, hold you tight and tell you that everything is going to be alright.

Wang Yu Yan became that someone for him. 

She did not say anything, just patted him on his back and whispered, "Everything will be alright."

Li Wei snuggled into Wang Yu Yan's crook of the neck and said, "I trust you."

....

Li Wei and Wang Yu Yan entered the head department, where Old Master Li and Li Qiang were sitting. 

Li Wei took a seat beside Li Qiang. 

Li Qiang was surprised to see him, calm than before. 

"Please sign this first," said Pei Lin as he passed Li Wei a paper. 

It was the same paper in which Wang Yu Yan had signed. 

Li Wei raised an eyebrow. 

He started to read the contents, and reading it his eyebrows knitted. 

His hands clutched the paper tightly. 

The consequences of the surgery will be of the doctor alone.

When conducting the surgery, the doctor will be not considered as a part of the First Hospital. 

Reading this line, Li Wei looked at Wang Yu Yan with a confused expression.

Wang Yu Yan just gave a slight nod.

It was the signal for him to sign it. 

Li Wei sighed in his heart and signed the paper. 

"What is this about?" Li Qiang asked. 

Li Wei did not say anything, but handed the paper to Li Qiang. 

Reading its contents, Li Qiang was disappointed as well as thankful. 

Disappointed at the hospital for saying this and thankful to Wang Yu Yan for signing it. 

Old Master Li had the same reaction. 

It looked as if Wang Yu Yan without doing anything made a spot for her in their hearts. 

"Then we will get ready for the surgery," said Pei Lin as they exited the ward. 

Seeing their disappearing backs, Li Qiang turned to Li Wei with a serious expression.

"What did the doctor tell you?" asked Li Qiang.

Li Wei started, "They will conduct the surgery to repair Mother's torn artery. This surgery has a very low success rate, so the other doctors refused to do it. Wan-, I mean Dr. Su decided to do the surgery."

Li Qiang and Li Zixin did not know how to react. 

Just in their hearts, Wang Yu Yan had a made a special spot for her. 

…..

In the cardiac department

"This meeting is for making the team for Madam Li's surgery," announced Pei Lin. 

He had gathered all the members of the Cardiac Department. 

Listening to this, no one said anything. 

They all just looked down, indicating that they were not interested. 

Pei Lin sighed, he had expected this. 

"No one wants to volunteer," said Pei Lin with an annoyed expression.

After a pause he said, "Fine, now I will choose people randomly." 

Listening to this, people broke into a cold sweat. 

"I will do it," said a voice. 

Everyone looked at the direction, only to see a confident Wan Meili sitting there. 

The person beside her, poked her elbow and said in a whisper, "Are you sure? It is failed then the Li family won't let you go."

Wan Meili did not say anything, rather ignored her. 

"It will be a great honor for me to be a part of the team conducting Madam Li's surgery," said Wan Meili earning a slight smile from Wang Yu Yan. 

"I will do it too," said another doctor. 

"I will too," said another member. 

"So with this, we have the team ready for Madam Li's surgery," announced Pei Lin. 

…..

After the team was decided, they discussed about the surgery in detail. 

This surgery is called Thoracic Aortic Dissection Repair. It is one of the most complicated surgery. 

An aortic dissection is a tear in the deepest layer of the heart and can be a reason for heart failure, stroke, or even a rupture of the aorta.

Surgery needs to be immediate and the surgeon will have to fix the area of the damaged aorta and reconstruct the blood vessel with an artificial fix.

Because the aorta is in the deepest layer of the heart this surgery can be too risky.
