Love's Redemption (Chris and Maddie)

Chapter 865

After finishing their rounds, Lena and Nate sat down together, joined by the family of the pregnant woman. They carefully explained the risks and possible complications of the surgery, ultimately leaving the decision to the family.

The family member immediately signed the consent form and said, "We trust you, Dr. Lane and Professor Neumann. As long as you do your best, the rest is up to fate."

Their trust and composure reminded Lena of a previous case where both mother and child had died. The circumstances were similar, but the family's attitude and understanding were vastly different.

What no one realized was that such trust placed immense pressure and responsibility on them. The greater the trust, the greater the fear of making a mistake and disappointing the family.

"Professor Neumann, I know medicine isn't a guarantee, but for this surgery, I hope you can..." Lena's voice carried a formal tone mixed with a faint plea as she addressed Nate.

"I will give it my all and ensure everything goes smoothly," Nate reassured her, adding, "I'll need your cooperation during the surgery."

"No problem," Lena agreed firmly. "Anything you need before or during the procedure, I'll do my best to assist."

From then on, Lena not only handled her usual workload but also worked overtime to help Nate finalize the surgical plan.
