Chapter 839: Don’t Worry, There Are No “What Ifs.”

Every movement Wang Yun made did not look like surgery at all. It was more like an artist performing a masterful piece on stage.

And Big Mouth was the assistant standing beside him.

Next, Wang Yun needed to draw out some of Nicole’s own bone marrow in order to make room for the purified hematopoietic stem cells that would be transplanted.

“Prepare for bone puncture.”

“Empty syringe.”

Wang Yun filled the syringe and then handed it to Big Mouth.

“Hematopoietic stem cells.”

Wang Yun injected the stem cells into Nicole’s body.

At this point, the operation was already more than halfway successful. What remained were the final steps—suturing and finishing the procedure.

“Sponge forceps.”

Big Mouth wasn’t paying close enough attention and accidentally handed him a pair of pointed tweezers instead.

Wang Yun also lost focus for just a moment. As the pointed instrument was passed toward him, he immediately tried to pull his hand back.

But it was already too late.

The pointed tip touched one of Nicole’s fragile blood vessels and punctured it.

Blood immediately began pouring out.

Big Mouth panicked.

“Boss! What do we do? I didn’t mean to! What should we do? Will Nicole be alright?!”

Seeing Big Mouth’s panic, Wang Yun knew that if he let him lose control now, things would only get worse. He immediately barked in a low voice:

“Big Mouth! Calm down! The surgery isn’t finished yet!”

Big Mouth snapped back to his senses.

Nicole’s spine was still exposed to the air. The surgery wasn’t over yet. As his boss’s assistant, he absolutely could not make another mistake.

He gritted his teeth and forced down the panic rising inside him.

Seeing that Big Mouth had finally steadied himself, Wang Yun continued issuing instructions calmly and methodically.

“Sponge forceps.”

“Hemostatic clamp.”

The commands came faster and faster.

Big Mouth focused with all his strength, not daring to lose concentration for even a second.

At this point, Wang Yun’s hands were moving so quickly that it was almost impossible to clearly see what he was doing.

Finally, the bleeding was stopped.

“Wipe the sweat.”

Wang Yun turned his head slightly toward Big Mouth.

Big Mouth quickly grabbed the towel that had been prepared in advance and wiped the sweat from Wang Yun’s forehead.

At that moment, the livestream audience exploded.

“Brother Wang Yun is way too handsome!!!”

“Oh my god, that moment when he had his sweat wiped… why do I feel like they have such strong CP chemistry?!”

“Seriously! Watching big brother perform surgery is like watching art!”

“Thank goodness he adjusted the camera angle. I faint at the sight of blood!”

“Sister upstairs, you’re not alone!”

“Big brother is just cool no matter what he does!”

Of course, not all the comments were friendly.

“Ugh, that Big Mouth guy is useless. Isn’t he just here to drag big brother down?”

“Who knows what kind of luck he had to be able to stay by big brother’s side?”

“Exactly! ‘CP chemistry’? Him? He’s not even worthy of carrying big brother’s shoes!”

“If you don’t like it, then stop watching. Big Brother hasn’t even said anything. Why are you all barking here?”

“These internet trolls must have miserable lives, so they come online looking for attention!”

“Before insulting others, go take a look at yourselves first!”

“Don’t mind those fake fans. Big Mouth is already trying his best to keep up with big brother!”

“Yeah. Big Brother is just too powerful. His movements were so fast just now I couldn’t even see clearly!”

“Tell me about it! I’m a medical student and I’ve watched many surgeries performed by professors. Honestly speaking, even my professor isn’t as smooth and skilled as big brother!”

“My big brother is amazing!!!”

“Big brother, forever the GOAT!!!”

***

Meanwhile, inside the operating room, Big Mouth was terrified of making another mistake. His face was tense and serious as he listened to every one of Wang Yun’s commands.

Sweat covered his face now as well—whether from the earlier fright or sheer tension, he couldn’t tell.

He didn’t even dare wipe it away. All of his attention was fixed entirely on Wang Yun.

Finally—

Wang Yun stitched the last suture.

Nicole’s surgery was complete.

Holding the suture needle, Wang Yun turned around and saw the exhausted state Big Mouth was in.

He couldn’t help but laugh.

“Pfft—”

Seeing that his boss had finally turned around, Big Mouth relaxed.

The moment he relaxed, his whole body gave out, and he collapsed onto the floor with a thud.

“Boss, stop laughing. I was scared to death.”

Wang Yun looked down at the bloodstained surgical gown he was wearing.

“Get up. Let’s clean up and go out. Hart and the others are still waiting. My hands are dirty; you get up on your own.”

Wang Yun had half reached out to help him, but seeing the blood on his gloves, he withdrew his hand.

The two of them gathered all the used instruments and placed them on the cart. Everything would have to be sterilized afterward.

The entire surgery had lasted a full five hours.

No wonder Big Mouth had collapsed from exhaustion.

After cleaning up, the two of them—still wearing their bloodstained surgical gowns—opened the door.

Outside, Hart had been waiting anxiously the entire time.

When he finally saw the door open, his heart nearly leapt out of his chest.

These five hours had been pure torment for him.

Although he trusted Wang Yun, Nicole was his only daughter.

And no surgeon in the world could guarantee a surgery would succeed one hundred percent of the time.

What if the operation failed…

Hart simply couldn’t bear that possibility.

The moment he saw Wang Yun, hope filled his eyes. He instinctively reached out to grab Wang Yun’s arm.

Wang Yun quickly raised his arm, signaling that it was still stained with blood.
