Chapter: 1354

Before Malcolm could finish, a nurse's urgent voice cut him off.

Malcolm didn't realize it was Norah. He turned back to Lanny, determined to do whatever it took in a last-ditch effort to save him.

A woman in a wheelchair saving someone? Absurd!

But Norah remained unfazed and instructed the nurse pushing her wheelchair, "Please bring me closer to the operating table."

Seeing the vital signs plummet on the monitor, she knew they were running out of time.

“Step aside," she said quietly but with authority. “We need to move quickly."

Malcolm's hands trembled as he angrily tossed the needle onto the tray. "Fine, you take over."

He had been painstakingly suturing the vessels, doing everything he could to keep Lanny alive.

The nurse adjusted the operating table's height to make it easier for Norah to work.

"Dr. Wilson, we're out of blood bags," the nurse informed her, her voice tense. "The new ones haven't arrived yet."

Malcolm folded his arms and observed with a discerning gaze.

"Dr. Wilson, you must do something fast. Lanny's condition is getting worse."

Lanny's vital signs were falling as he continued to bleed. They were in a race against time.

The surgical team felt an imminent failure approaching. Despite their reluctance, it appeared they were losing all hope.

Norah, with the help of the medical assistants and nurses, took up the scalpel and began addressing the wound on Lanny's neck.

At first, Malcolm wasn't optimistic. He believed Lanny's survival was unlikely without the immediate delivery of blood bags. It seemed futile to try and save him.

He respected the commitment to save a life and didn't mean to make light of Norah's efforts.

However, witnessing the scene unfold altered his perspective. Norah's scalpel glided deftly around Lanny's neck. She then grabbed a needle and thread, starting to sew up the blood vessels.

Her hands were stable, her stitching fast and effective. She continued her work seamlessly, addressing a complex injury that had baffled him as if it were minor.

She completed the vascular sutures much quicker than he could have.

"The blood bags have arrived!"

The nurse accepting the blood bags quickly began the transfusion for Lanny, marveling as Norah closed up the significant neck injury.

It seemed she might have managed to keep Lanny alive even without the transfusion.

Nevertheless, the arrival of the blood bags brought relief. Norah finished her final stitch and cut the thread.
