The servants then carefully placed Jennifer on the operating bed, and Hilliard calmly scanned her head, getting ready for the first step of the operation.
“Lucinda, check the power supply,” Hilliard said, checking all the equipment to make sure everything was in order.
“Everything is set. Let’s do this.”
Lucinda stood behind him and watched closely as he performed the operation.
After nearly five long hours, Hilliard’s grip on the scalpel remained steady, but his forehead was now dotted with sweat droplets.
She stood by his side, holding a handkerchief, which she wiped his forehead with whenever needed.
“Pass me the tweezers please,” he said, stretching out his hand.
Without hesitation, she quickly took the tweezers and handed it over to him.
Despite the intense operation, Hilliard showed no signs of fatigue and continued to operate the instruments with remarkable precision.
As Lucinda watched her brother’s focused expression, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of admiration. It was no surprise that he was held in such high regard in the medical industry.
“Disinfect that instrument again. I’m about to open her chest, and we can’t afford any mistakes. One slip-up could lead to a nasty infection for the patient,” Hilliard said with a serious tone.
“Okay!”
Lucinda replied simply.
Cyrus stood outside the operation room with his eyes glued to his watch.

The operation had already lasted for close to ten hours, yet there was still no sign of Hilliard and Lucinda coming out.
He felt a growing sense of anxiety, but he knew better than to rush in and disrupt the delicate procedure.
“Mr. Simmons, I just received a message from the Hernandez family.”
The butler went upstairs and whispered to Cyrus at that moment.
“What did they say?”
Frowning, Cyrus waited for the butler to respond.
“Mr. Hernandez have grounded his daughter. She can’t leave without his permission,” the butler responded politely.
Cyrus smirked.
“Good. Now I can finally get some peace and quiet in Forden for some time. That girl gives me headache.”
He signaled to the butler, letting him know that he could go as he got lost in his thoughts.
