?


    However, was it really possible?


    Winter was holding on firmly to her own shaking palm-Frank would only have half a second to do the unthinkable.


    If he even twitched his finger, that would mean death for the patient.


    Hence, as everyone in the operating room stared, wide-eyed, Frank closed his eyes to still himself.


    Then, when he reached a serenity one could mistake for death, he slowly drew out two silver needles, holding them between his fingers.


    Lub dub...


    Jolie''s heart was giving out again-she did not have much time left.


    "Phew..."


    Exhaling lengthily, Frank''s gaze sharpened in the instant Jolie''s heart pounded.


    Swish!


    Frank moved with lightning speed, his hand a blur as he pulled out the bone fragment lodged in Jolie''s left ventricle. Everyone had been staring at the screen and only saw a fuzziness, but not how Frank pulled out the bone fragment. And the instant Frank pulled it out, he inserted both needles he was holding into the puncture wound, snapping, "Freeze!"


    Pure vigor instantly built up between the two needles, stopping the blood threatening to gush out from Jolie''s heart.


    The speed at which he worked was beyond humanprehension, taking less than a second while flowing as gently as a river.


    "Hemostatic gel, Winter!" Frank snapped.


    Winter promptly passed him a tube of hemostatic gel, and Frank promptly applied it all over the puncture wound, filling the hole before pulling his needles out.N?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    But even as he breathed a sigh, Winter tugged on the hem of his sleeve. "Frank..."


    "What?"


    Frank turned to see that the heart rate monitor hadpletely tlined.


    The ring tone left everyone in the operating room silent, and even Frank was shaking his head.


    He had done everything he could perfectly, but there were simply asions when perfection did not equate to sess.


    However, despite the silence, an eagle-eyed nurse eximed in shock and pointed at the monitor again, "L-Look!"


    The tlined chart was suddenly fluctuating again, stabler and stronger than before.


    Winter stared at the screen nkly and smiled in relief as she dropped on the floor in exhaustion.


    "You''re really amazing, Frank..." she said, shing a thumbs-up at him.


    "Hehe..." Frank smiled too.


    With the most difficult part of the


    surgeryplete, all they had to t


    now was stitch up the patient and wait for her to recover.


    Half an hourter, Frank and Winter stepped out of the operating room.


    The attendings on both sides of the hallway were left staring,


    dumbstruck as they watched Jolie being wheeled out, with the


    monitors indicating that her vitals


    were stable.


    Someone began pping, and others soon followed sporadically until everyone was pping.


    Winter was left sping a hand over


    her mouth, as she shed eve


    tears there was no higher honor for a doctor than this.


    "Thank you... you saved my wife! Thank you..."


    After Frank and Winter escorted Jolie to the ICU, a tall man stopped them to kowtow at them.
