Chapter 892

Sylvia looked at the medical records detailing Giancarlo's condition and furrowed her brow slightly.

Her expression was serious as she spoke, "The tumor is located in the brainstem, which makes it the most risky area to operate on. Mr. Morales' tumor is particularly deep, making the surgery even more difficult. The brainstem is a vital part of the human body that controls important functions such as breathing, heartbeat and circulation. If we're not careful during surgery, there's a risk that his breathing or heartbeat could stop."

"Dr. Sylvia," said the head of neurosurgery with concern in his eyes, "this used to be considered a surgical no-go zone..."

There have been successful cases in recent years but they are very rare and all performed by foreign experts...

"It's okay," Sylvia replied as she looked up at him calmly. "Both Mr. Morales and Ms. Hipps have made significant contributions to society and I cannot simply ignore their illness."

"But Dr. Sylvia," he continued with tears welling up in his eyes, "the success rate for this type of surgery is really low and even if it succeeds there can be severe after-effects... the risks are too great."

Just then Jasmine walked into the room; she glanced at both doctors before turning her attention towards Sylvia.

"My family members and my husband himself have agreed that you will perform this operation personally," Jasmine said firmly.

"If you cannot do it, then we don't know who else can save him." She sighed heavily before continuing. "We've searched for doctors in Lleilaga, or thought about going to Aettosa but... although we are Aettosa people ourselves I still don't know why I trust Dr. Sylvia so much."

Jasmine took a step forward towards Sylvia before grasping her hand tightly.

"Dr. Sylvia, my husband trusts you completely; please take care of him during this operation."

"Don't worry, Ms. Hipps," replied Sylvia reassuringly while patting Jasmine's hand gently. "I promise you that there won't be any risks involved during this procedure." She turned towards head neurosurgeon. "Notify all departmental physicians; consultation will take place at 2 pm today."

"Yes, Doctor," he responded quickly before hurrying off to make arrangements.

Sylvia's words held great authority within Lilypad General Hospital.
