Precisely speaking, it was Lucas who came out.

Sienna and Josiah rushed over. "Dr. Nelson, how's Joyce?"

"Don't worry." Lucas' smile reassured them. "The operation went well. Joyce did great, and everything was smooth. She's a well-behaved little one."

Hearing this, Sienna breathed a sigh of relief, tears welling up instantly.

Josiah glanced at her, furrowing his brow. He shook hands with Lucas. "We owe it all to your excellent skills, Dr. Nelson. Joyce..."

"Oh, Joyce has been sent to the sterile isolation unit. Sienna knows," Lucas said Sienna nodded. "I thought we could see her for a moment."

"Just a little longer," Lucas said while smiling. "Once Joyce recovers, you'll be able to be with her every day. By then, you might even find her too noisy."

Sienna paused, then smiled faintly. Her eyes shimmered with tears. "Thank you for your kind words."

"You can go to the sterile isolation room in a bit," Dr. Nelson said.

"The nurse can show you the monitoring footage."

The sterile isolation unit had stricter rules than the intensive care unit; visits were not allowed, not even through the glass. The family could only view the footage from the office area.

"Al right," Josiah responded. "Thank you for your hard work."

"You're welcome. It's my duty," Lucas replied.

After Lucas left, they went to the sterile isolation room. The nurse showed them the surveillance footage of Joyce.

In the footage, Joyce lay quietly with her arms raised above her head. If not for the oxygen mask on her face, she would have looked like she was peacefully sleeping.

She wore a hospital gown, with various tubes extending from her body-some connected to monitoring equipment, others were drainage tubes embedded within.

"Joyce.." nouth. Her eyes reddened.

Sienna's heart skipped a beat. She quickly covered her Although she understood these were normal, it was hard to be entirely rational as a mother.

Her heart ached. Joyce was still under four years old.
