Not long after Riley and her two companions arrived outside the operating room, the red light above the door finally went out.
Catherine shot to her feet, heart pounding. Moments later, the surgeon emerged—still in scrubs, but already removing his mask.
Seeing the anxious look on Catherine's face, he offered her a reassuring smile.
"The surgery was a complete success. Just make sure to take good care of your mother during recovery."
The moment Catherine heard the words "a complete success," tears flooded her eyes. She bowed repeatedly, her voice trembling with gratitude.
"Thank you… thank you so much, Director simon."
Her relief was overwhelming.
To her, nothing in the world mattered more than the fact that Renata would live.
"There's no need to thank me,"
the doctor replied with calm professionalism.
"Saving lives is what we doctors are meant to do."
With that, Director simon turned and began chatting with Bert, who had been waiting quietly nearby.
