This time, Liam Summer didn't make her fall asleep again.
He administered a local anesthetic and personally sutured the wound.
The process was quick, taking only twenty minutes from the time the anesthetic took effect to the completion of the surgery.
After the surgery, he walked over to personally lift her from the bed.

He lowered his head and kissed her cold forehead, then carried her back to the ward.
"Rest well." He gently covered her with a blanket, leaving a kiss on her pale face, "You'll be fine when you wake up."
