In the operating room.
Chen Yu didn't stop. He trimmed the meniscus and ground down the uneven cartilage, preparing for the next step: the open surgery.
More than half an hour later, the surgery was over.
"Take a look." Chen Yu showed Liu Yudong the cartilage in the tray.
Liu Yudong fell silent as he stared at the small pile of bone fragments in the tray.
After so many days and nights of suffering, it was these little things that had brought him endless pain.
"Dr. Chen, can you give these to me?" Liu Yudong suddenly asked.
Chen Yu was taken aback for a moment. 'What, does he want to string them together as a souvenir?'
'He's a tough one, that's for sure.'
"Sure. I'll find a container later and preserve them in formalin for you." Since he had made the request, Chen Yu was happy to oblige and readily agreed.
After a final glance up at the observation room, Chen Yu turned and left the operating room.
