“Why don’t you have a meal first before I start the surgery? It would take about 2 hours. It’s eight now so that surgery would end around half-past ten.”
Lu Jinian was about to agree with her, but in the end, Master Lu rejected instead.
“That won’t be necessary. Since you have already starved for the whole day, an additional two hours shouldn’t matter.”
Lu Jinian thought about it and agreed as well. He turned towards Jing Qian and said, “Dinner wouldn’t be necessary at this point. I’ll leave the rest to you, Professor J.”
Jing Qian didn’t find anything wrong with their answers. She nodded her head, allowing them to do what they liked.
“Hong Lu, bring him in.”
With that said, she walked out of the hall and went towards a room that was outside.
Since the Lawrence Institute had already made it clear that they would be providing the best medical equipment and environment, they were only allowed to have 2 people accompanying Lu Jinian. Therefore, Master Lu had to do everything himself with help from his butler.
Luckily, Professor Hong Lu had also made the necessary arrangements. From helping Lu Jinan change and bringing him into the operating theater, there were professionals from the Lawrence Institute that helped them with it. This slightly reassured Master Lu.
Hong Lu was also with Lu Jinian when he entered the theater, leaving Master Lu and the old butler behind, who was still in trance.
“I’ve lived such a long life, but this is the first time that I have seen someone doing surgery in a family courtyard. Master, the Lawrence Institute seems a little unreliable!”
In fact, Master Lu was feeling a little chilly deep inside as well. However, he was the only support left, which was why he had to stay firm.
“Hong Lu already said that Professor J would be able to treat him. We should trust her since the Lawrence Institute’s reputation is one of the best worldwide. Plus, after all these years, this is the only person that Hong Lu has ever recommended to us. Some heroes may be hidden within the city. Perhaps we were lucky enough to meet a true hero, and if that’s true, it would be Jinian’s luck.”
During that period of time, the staff from the Lawrence Institute brought Master Lu back to the hall so that he would be able to have some tea while waiting. They had a space that was specifically designed for them to enjoy the scenery while having tea.
However, Master Lu wasn’t in the right mood to enjoy the scenery, wanting to wait outside the operating theater.
Although the coldest days had passed, the temperature that night was still pretty low. Since they had no other choice, the staff brought them an electric warmer and even moved a beautifully crafted wooden table into the hall so that he could enjoy some tea while waiting.
After a while, two male doctors in their fifties walked out of the operating theatre. Master Lu quickly stood up and asked them for an update on the surgery.
“The surgery has already started, and the main surgeon is Professor J, with Professor Hong Lu as her assistant. Since we won’t be needed inside, Professor Hong Lu told us to leave.”
“What?!” Master Lu got frightened. “Professor J and Professor Hong Lu are the only people inside doing the surgery?!”
The doctors understood Master Lu’s worries and patiently explained to him, “Master Lu, please rest assured. Since you have handed over the patient, we would be treating his life as our own. This is the spirit of the Lawrence Institute. Since Professor Hong Lu has allowed us to leave, there must be a reason for her to do so. You have already chosen the Lawrence Institute, so please trust our professors.”
Hearing how logical the other person was, Master Lu knew that he shouldn’t be asking any more questions, quietly waiting as time slowly passed by.
It was as if they were doing it on purpose, but when there were only 5 more minutes left in the 2-hour duration, Hong Lu opened the door from inside.
Master Lu stood up from his seat out of excitement.
With wide eyes, he watched Hong Lu walk out of the room.
