After sewing the final stitch and securing the knot, Yu Chen finally let out a sigh of relief; it was possibly the most difficult suture he had ever done.

In an organ no larger than the palm of an adult’s hand, Yu Chen and Michiko Daimon not only had to repair and suture the torn vessels, but also piece together the ruptured parts of the liver. Although they managed to suture the child’s liver back together in the end, it looked like a rag full of patches.

Neither Yu Chen nor Michiko Daimon minded the chaotically stitched liver. Due to the severity of the damage, being able to suture it to this extent was already quite an achievement, especially considering the wound in the middle of the liver, which nearly split it in two. Between them, having performed nearly ten thousand surgeries over the years, they had never seen a liver wound so severe.

But regardless, everything was finally sutured.

"Check the number of gauze pieces," Yu Chen said to the instrument nurse beside him. Once she confirmed the count was correct, he then turned to Susumu Nakagawa who had been standing by: "Nakagawa, you close the abdomen."

"Yes, Professor," Susumu Nakagawa responded quickly upon hearing Yu Chen’s request, excused himself to Michiko Daimon, and then swapped places with her to take the position of the first assistant, beginning to suture the child’s abdominal cavity.

Today’s surgery was not as difficult as yesterday’s, so Yu Chen did not ask Doctor Higashiyama and Glasses Doctor to help. The lengthy surgery the day before had left both men standing at the scrub sink, too exhausted to stand. Knowing this, Yu Chen gave them time to rest, while also taking the opportunity to further train Susumu Nakagawa.

Under Yu Chen’s prolonged training, Susumu Nakagawa’s medical skills had become passable. Although he was still a trainee doctor, in terms of surgical skill, he was more than capable of being a surgeon at a general regional hospital.

"Professor, the suturing is complete." Using the suturing device to close the patient’s abdominal wound, Susumu Nakagawa then looked up at Yu Chen, waiting for his instructions.

"Daimon-san, any problems?" Yu Chen glanced at Michiko Daimon, inquiring whether she felt anything was amiss or unfinished.

Michiko Daimon shook her head. Yu Chen’s management of the surgery had not given her any room to pinpoint faults, though Susumu Nakagawa’s suturing skills still needed improvement. However, this was the kind of matter that was suitable for training new personnel. She had done the same thing herself and didn’t see it as a big issue.

Seeing that Michiko Daimon had no further comments, Yu Chen nodded and then announced, "Then, the surgery is concluded, everyone has worked hard."

"You’ve worked hard!" The people in the operating room quickly echoed the same sentiment to Yu Chen.

As Michiko Daimon turned to leave and Hiromi Jounouchi still sat in the anesthesiologist’s position, Yu Chen specially smiled at Hiromi Jounouchi and said, "You’ve worked hard, Hiromi."

"Yeah, yeah, if you know I’ve worked hard, then try giving me less trouble in the future. Changing the surgical technique during an operation, do you know how troublesome that is?" Hiromi Jounouchi glanced at Yu Chen with slight petulance, half-complaining and half-scolding him, but after complaining, her tone suddenly changed as she said, "It’s only because I’m here. If it had been another anesthesiologist dealing with surgeons like you and Daimon-san who like to change surgical techniques, they would probably have started cursing, right?"

"Heh, that’s why I always ask for you to be my anesthesiologist, isn’t it? Only you can partner with me perfectly." At times like these, Yu Chen, of course, knew to say things to please his girlfriend, even though Susumu Nakagawa at his side looked as if he was awkwardly choking on a whole bag of dog food.

However, after speaking with Hiromi Jounouchi for a few sentences, Yu Chen then turned to Susumu Nakagawa and asked, "Nakagawa, do you know how to manage postoperative care?"

"Postoperative care? Yes, Professor. Do you need me to handle the patient’s postoperative care?" Susumu Nakagawa looked at the patient on the operating table, seemingly eager to try.

Watching Nakagawa Susumu in this state, Chen Yu seemed to also want to give him a chance, so he asked, "Are you confident you can do well?"

"I will try my best to do it!" Nakagawa Susumu nodded vigorously, trying to express his determination to do his utmost with this gesture.

Chen Yu raised an eyebrow and looked at Jounouchi Hiromi, asking her, "Hiromi, what do you think?"

"What else can I think, you’re the attending surgeon, if you think it’s okay, then let him do it, it saves me some trouble," Jounouchi Hiromi said indifferently, glancing at the eager Nakagawa Susumu beside her.

"Thank you, Doctor Jounouchi!" Hearing Jounouchi Hiromi say this, Nakagawa Susumu quickly thanked her.

Although it was just postoperative management, being able to handle the postoperative care of patients with such severe injuries was a kind of training in itself. Doing well in these tasks could also help improve one’s level of medical skills. As a trainee doctor, Nakagawa Susumu certainly wouldn’t miss this valuable opportunity.

"Alright then, since Hiromi said so, I’ll leave the patient’s postoperative management to you. Do it well, and ask if you’re unsure about anything; don’t let any mishaps occur," Chen Yu instructed Nakagawa Susumu before he left the operating room.

In the hospital lobby, Kube Rokuro was holding a stack of documents, preparing to take out his phone to give Chen Yu a call. These documents, which were brought by Misumi Mikoto, were mostly about the case they had encountered last time involving a change in DNA due to a bone marrow transplant.

Even though this case was very rare, it was of great significance in medical research. Chen Yu knew that Misumi Mikoto was writing a paper related to this, so he had mentioned to her that once the paper was done, to give him a copy of the related materials. Thus, Kube Rokuro became the errand runner.

However, Kube Rokuro had learned at the front desk that Chen Yu was in surgery, so he decided to wait. Seeing that the time was about right, he decided to call Chen Yu and ask if he had finished the operation.

Yet, attempting to take out his phone from his pocket and make a call while holding a stack of documents was a difficult and strenuous task. Kube Rokuro finally managed to fish out his phone after much effort, only for it to slip from his hand and fall to the ground.

Kube Rokuro bent down to pick up his phone, but the documents he had been holding scattered on the floor.

As he was trying to pick up the documents, a pair of black suede high heels appeared in front of him. Looking up, he saw the same doe-eyed female doctor he had met before.

"This is yours, right?" The female doctor with the doe eyes picked up the documents from the floor, organized them, and handed them to Kube Rokuro.

"Thank you!" Kube Rokuro said, somewhat awkwardly receiving them and thanking the female doctor. As he watched her turn to leave, he quickly asked, "My name is Kube Rokuro. May I know your name?"

The female doctor looked back at Kube Rokuro. Seeing his naive expression, she couldn’t help but smile, "If you can meet me a third time, then I’ll tell you my name."
