"If you're available, I could free up some time tomorrow and visit the hospital to examine the patient," Roxanne suggested after checking her schedule.

Larry nodded. "Okay, I'll be counting on you. Let me know if you need anything."

Roxanne grinned. "It's fine. You helped me a lot overseas, and besides, it's our duty as doctors to help the sick. Since you believe I can do this, I won't hesitate."

They finalized a time for Roxanne's visit. The following afternoon, she left the research institute and went straight to the hospital entrance to meet Larry.

"I've told my family, so I'll be the only one staying overnight. Don't feel pressured," Larry said, leading her to the patient's room.

An elderly, bald man lay unconscious in the bed. His complexion was still good, making him look simply asleep rather than gravely ill.

"Are you Dr. Janet?" the attending medical team asked.

Larry had already informed them of Roxanne's alias. They knew of the renowned Dr. Janet and were surprised to see such a young woman. Several even questioned their eyesight.

Roxanne nodded, then focused on the patient. "Excuse me, but let's dispense with pleasantries. Please tell me about his condition, and allow me to perform some examinations."

Her professionalism impressed the team, who sought Larry's approval. He nodded.

They quickly assisted Roxanne, showing her the medical records and helping with the examinations. Hours later, she had a complete picture of the patient's condition, and was disheartened by what she found. The case was challenging, even for her.

"What do you think? Can you help him?" Larry asked anxiously.

Roxanne's expression grew grave. "I need time. He can last two days; I'll convene a conference to discuss his case."

Larry, trusting her, agreed.

Roxanne spent the next two days at the hospital, consulting with leading domestic experts. She developed a new treatment plan, but the success rate was only forty percent.

The morning of the surgery, she dropped her children off at kindergarten and rushed to the hospital to finalize the procedure with the other experts.

The surgery was scheduled for 1:00 p.m. and was expected to take five or six hours—just enough time for her to pick up her children. She felt confident enough to forgo asking Lysa for help.

At 1:00 p.m., the surgery began. Everyone worked diligently, hoping for a successful outcome.

However, the patient's age and an unexpected complication arose, causing a moment of panic among the medical team. Roxanne, though worried, remained calm and continued the operation.
