Robert Stephens's rescue took nearly twelve hours, from daytime until the early hours of the morning, before he was wheeled out of the operating room.
His body was connected to various medical instruments, and the heavy oxygen mask nearly covered his entire face. Exhausted doctors and nurses hurriedly pushed him to the ICU, and Daisy Ginger didn't even get a clear look at him.
As the attending doctor was supported out of the operating room, the Stephens family immediately gathered around to inquire about Robert Stephens's condition.
The hospital at night was quiet. Daisy Ginger held the man's cold, lifeless hand as she listened to the doctor answer the Stephens' questions.
From his halting answers, Daisy gradually pieced together Robert's current condition.
