Chapter: 1527
Time went by, and soon it was the day of the surgery.
The entire Frazier family paused their activities and gathered in the hospital room to support Keenan.
Braden and Hertha said, "Grandpa, recover quickly. Hyatt is eager for you to take him out to play."
Hyatt, with his innocent childlike tone, chimed in, "Great-grandpa, you will get better."
Bainbridge, trying to lighten the mood, joked, "Grandpa, I've got to tell you, Norah is practically a magical angel. You're going to feel a lot better after the surgery."
Roseanne gave a reassuring nod. “Grandpa, have faith in Norah's medical expertise."
They both adored Norah, heaping unreserved praise upon her.
Once the younger generation had their say, they stepped out to let the older ones have some privacy.
Bernice wrapped Keenan in a gentle embrace. Her father's hug felt as comforting as it always had. "Dad, you're going to be okay."
Keenan responded with a soft pat on her back, "Yeah."
Huntley fought back tears, overwhelmed by the moment. He hadn't anticipated reuniting with Bernice, but thanks to Norah, they had this chance to come together.
Standing by his side, Florence felt the same way. The Frazier family had weathered many storms over the years, and it seemed their prospects were only improving.
The room was filled with warmth and affection. In the meantime, Norah, getting ready in the operating room, felt composed.
She had been diligently looking after her grandfather. Post-surgery, he was expected to make a gradual recovery. As she had promised, he had many more years ahead of him.
The light in the operating room flickered on, and the Frazier family members were assembled outside, filled with anticipation.
While they claimed to be calm, each person was secretly anxious, silently praying for the operation to succeed.
Their confidence in Norah was strong, firmly believing she would successfully perform the surgery.
Three hours later, the light dimmed.
Bernice and Huntley leaned on each other as they walked up to the door of the operating room. Norah emerged in her surgical attire and said, "The surgery went perfectly. Now, Grandpa will spend a day in the ICU for monitoring. If everything looks good, he'll be moved to a regular room."
At this news, the Frazier family members let out subdued cheers.
Keenan was out of danger, which ensured that he would remain with them for years to come!
Tears of joy silently rolled down Bernice's and Huntley's faces. It was a relief to know their father would be around for more time.
Witnessing her family's relieved expressions, Norah reflected on the true value of her medical career.
It was used to bring light to people in their darkest times. Being a doctor was about leading people through darkness and restoring hope.
