"There's something in the pericardium, just below it. If I had seen it a bit later, it might have been cut by the surgical knife," Xiao Lin cautiously said, wiping the blood off the heart with gauze.
The lead surgeon stared intently at the patient's heart but found himself unable to see anything. A bit perplexed, he asked Xiao Lin, "What is it? I can't see anything from here."
"I'm not sure, I just saw something protruding. Maybe it's because my view is clearer than yours," Xiao Lin answered while keeping his eyes fixed on the patient's beating heart and signaling for the lead surgeon to check from his angle.
Xiao Lin stepped aside from the assistant's position, allowing the lead surgeon to step forward and carefully observe the beating heart, trying to find the object Xiao Lin described through the pericardial incision. However, after some time, he still shook his head, indicating he saw nothing.
