Nick adjusted his coat, not a hint of worry on his face. "It's nothing, just a minor surgery. No biggie."

Mirabella shot him a sideways glance. His casual attitude about his own health was concerning.

Nick kept his eyes on the road ahead, cutting Atlas off. "Right now, I'm just a junior researcher. Even if it's an experimental surgery, I'm only assisting."
