After signing the relevant documents, Dr. Willa went to Wanda's ward.
Luca went in too, but Luke did not as Dr. Willa wanted to mark Wanda.
The marks on her body were for the operation, so it was not appropriate for Luke to go in.
When Dr. Willa walked in with her team, Wanda did not see Luca standing behind them.
She spoke with Dr. Willa. Her previous marriage in Japan made her understand the importance of language, so she was fluent in
not only Japanese but other languages too.
It was not the first time Dr. Willa spoke to Wanda, so she said, “Ms. Rayne, I need to make a surgical incision mark on your
breast, so please remove your clothing."
Wanda nodded as there was no such thing as gender in front of doctors.
Even though there were several men on Dr. Willa's team, she still undid her clothes.
Dr. Willa took out her pen and drew a circle on the position she was going to operate on.
That would be where she started her incision.
Dr. Willa compared the results of Wanda's many examinations before deciding on the position of the incision.
This position was the best.
After marking, Wanda buttoned up her clothes. She knew what the next procedures were. The nurses in the ward would take her
to the operating room downstairs and hand her over to the nurses in the operating room.
Dr. Willa smiled at Wanda in an effort to relieve her nervousness. "Ms. Rayne, I'll prepare for the surgery now. I'll see you later."
"Thank you, Dr. Willa," said Wanda. She did not know what else to say other than thank you.
Besides, it was decided at the last minute that Dr. Willa would be performing the surgery. If it were not for Johann, Dr. Willa
would not have agreed on performing the surgery.
Only after Dr. Willa and her team left the ward did Wanda see Luca.
"Luca, why are you here?" She was a little surprised as she did not hear her say that she would be here today.
"You have an operation today, so I wanted to wait for your good news outside the operating room," said Luca.
Wanda got teary. “Did you ask for a leave? It's just a minor operation, so it'll be fine. Besides, I'm not alone. Luke will be waiting
for me outside, so don't waste your time and go back to work."
Although Luke had not appeared, she knew that he would definitely be there.
Wanda was moved by Luca's gesture, but she was worried about disturbing her work.
Although she was well-acquainted with Luca, she was not family, so how could she disturb her work because of her own affairs?
"I already asked for leave yesterday, so it'll be embarrassing to show up at work now. Ms. Rayne, let me wait for your good news
outside the operating room." Luca repeated the words 'good news' for the third time now.
The good news would be a successful operation where Wanda was in good health with all the cancer cells removed.
That was good news.
That was a mental cue Luca gave Wanda to make her believe that her operation would go well.
"Alright." Wanda agreed to what she said.
She would definitely be able to give Luca good news.
The nurse came in and said to Wanda, "Ms. Rayne, it's time to go downstairs to the operating room. Would you like to go down
on your own or in a wheelchair?"
"I'll go by myself," said Wanda. Since she was not yet weak, she would like to walk more while she still could.
Besides, she did not know how weak her body would become after the operation.
What she did not know was that her health would gradually improve after taking the herbal medicine Luca prescribed.
Other than relieving the side effects of chemotherapy, the herbal medicine helped strengthen and nourish the body too.
A healthy body would be able to better alleviate the side effects of chemotherapy.
"Ms. Rayne, let me help you." Luca stepped forward to help Wanda.
Mrs. Lane had to do the same too.
The few of them walked out of the ward, and Luke, who had been waiting in the corridor, stood up straight and said, "Stay strong,
Aunt Wanda."
"I will. You'll hear good news soon." Wanda smiled as she did not want the younger ones to worry about her.
They took the elevator down to the operating room.
It was the earliest operation, so there were not many family members of patients outside the operating room.
Luca and Luke sent Wanda to the door of the operating room.
Wanda bent down to put on the operating room shoes.
The operating room nurse said, "Family members aren't allowed inside, so please wait outside." Luca knew that this was the
farthest she could go.
She watched as Wanda walked into the operating room while the door slowly closed.
There was a stinging sensation in Luca's nose.
Wanda had a good life, but she had difficult days too. However, she did not want to think about the past. She only hoped that
Wanda could safely overcome this operation.
She hoped that Dr. Willa would be able to help her.
“Let's sit and wait," said Luke as he took Luca's hand and walked to a row of chairs to sit down.
Luca felt that she was a little far from the entrance of the operating room. What if they could not hear the nurse calling Wanda's
name when they were distracted?
"Luke, let's sit over there." She pointed at the chair facing the door of the operating room.
She wanted to hear about Wanda first thing.
Luke frowned and said, "It's too cold there."
The seats facing the door of the operating room were colder than the other seats.
The temperature in the operating room was lower than outside, so when the door was open, cold air would rush out.
Even the chairs were cold to the touch.
Luca knew that he was worried that she would be cold, so she pointed at the seats diagonally opposite them. "Shall we sit there,
then?"
Although they would not see the doctor first thing, it was closer to the door of the operating room, and they would not feel the
cold wind.
"Sure." Luke thought that the seats would not be as cold, so he stood up and walked over there with her hand in his.
Mrs. Lane was sitting on the chair opposite them and observed the intimacy between them.
Mrs. Lane could see Luca's worry, but she was puzzled at the same time.
She met Luca for the first time yesterday, and after she left, she asked Wanda how she was related to Luca.
Wanda said that Luca was not a relative but a friend of her son-in-law. She said that she was skilled in medicine, and she had
helped her father to recover too.
After some time, they got close.
Mrs. Lane understood, but she was still surprised to see how nice Luca was to Wanda even though she was not a relative. What
a rare sight.
Seeing Luca hold hands with Luke made her confused again.
Was she really just her son-in-law's friend?
She knew that Luke was the son-in-law Wanda was talking about.
Besides, Luke and Luca were the only ones who came to visit Wanda when she was in the hospital.
She did not see anyone else either.
Mrs. Lane thought to herself, 'That's probably her son-in-law's girlfriend.'
