"Yuna can have the surgery-within the next couple of days!" Lena's voice practically burst out of the speakerphone. Hayden immediately turned to me, and I nodded, my heart pounding with the good news.

"They found a donor heart?" Hayden asked.

There was a pause before Lena's teasing voice chimed in, "What are you still doing at Keira's this late, huh?"

I rolled my eyes. Seriously? Now was not the time for jokes. "Focus, Lena. Update. Now."

Lena chuckled but got back on track. "It's not a new donor. The family of the previous donor changed their mind again."

"What did Professor Neumann say?" Hayden asked.

"He said Yuna's tests all came back perfect. So as long as nothing pops up-like a cold or infection-she can have the surgery in three days," Lena replied, sounding hopeful. She must've already spoken with Nate. Hayden and I exchanged a look of excitement, both of us buzzing with nervous energy. I squeezed his hand as he asked, "Is there anything else we need to do?"

"Not really... except, oh wait, yes-make sure you've got the surgery fee ready."

I glanced at Hayden and quickly jumped in, "Don't worry, we've got it covered. The hospital won't have anything to complain about."
