Chapter 303 The Anxiety-Filled Surgery

Xu Yuan looked through Liu Yi’s files.

On the operating bed, Liu Yi was on her last breath and only had an hour left at most…

Xu Yuan took out a scan of her neck, and he looked at the date to realize that this picture was taken the earliest.

“This is the source, right?”

The nurse beside him nodded. “That’s right. This bloodline extends from her neck down.”

“If we want to perform this surgery, we must first cut open her back and remove it from the top down.”

Xu Yuan nodded slightly. “I know. Next, let’s begin the surgery.”

He tidied up his surgical gown and checked the sides for anything he had overlooked.

He slowly walked toward the operating table.

Liu Yi was already under anesthesia while lying on the operating table. The clothes on her back were cut open, revealing her white and smooth back. Her entire back was like a soft, smooth piece of white jade.

He stood before the operating table. The shadowless light shone down, leaving no dark spots on the operating table.

Xu Yuan took a deep breath and slowly picked up the thin scalpel.

The operation officially began at nine o’clock in the morning.

Doctor Zhao walked over and volunteered, “Doctor Xu, let me handle the skin incision while you prepare for the removal procedure.”

The skin incision was the first step of a surgical operation. A perfect opening would only expose the parts that needed surgery.

This was a part that required a lot of experience and skills.

For Doctor Zhao, this wasn’t a difficult task as he was skilled at this. After all, this basic procedure was clockwork for the country’s top doctors.

However, Xu Yuan shook his head.

“This patient is important to me, and I hope that I will be the one to operate the entire surgery.”

Lu Yu trusted that he would personally supervise and operate this surgery. Thus, he had to work hard to reciprocate Lu Yu’s trust.

If he handed this over to someone else, what would his promise to Lu Yu be?

Seeing that he was determined, Doctor Zhao didn’t say anything more.

The other doctors retreated to the side and began to observe carefully. After all, Xu Yuan’s medical skills were much better than theirs.

Observing such an essential surgery with their own eyes would be an eye-opener.

Xu Yuan gently held the scalpel. His arm moved steadily without the slightest bit of tremor.

Starting from the skin, the fatty tissues and muscles were slowly cut open, layer by layer. His technique was as smooth as a butcher dissecting a cow.

He was met with a surprise when he reached the spine, as a ray of light suddenly bloomed.

Under some flesh and blood, the ray of light emitted a hazy glow. A shocking scene, for sure!

Xu Yuan was stunned and couldn’t help but widen his eyes.

He had never seen someone’s spine emit light!

This ray of light attracted the attention of the surrounding nurses and doctors. They looked over it carefully and were surprised, yet curious.

They looked at each other and saw the same disbelief in each other’s eyes.

“The patient’s spine is emitting light! That’s unexpected!”

“I’ve been a doctor for so many years, but this is the first time I’ve seen something like this.”

“It’s strange. Why would there be a ray of light coming from her spine?”

“Where’s the light source?”

The spectators couldn’t help but discuss it in low voices.

At that moment, Doctor Zhao reprimanded softly, “Shut up, all of you! Quiet!”

Instantly, the entire place fell silent.

Xu Yuan quickly regained his calm composition. He deduced that the light source wasn’t from Liu Yi’s spine but the bloodline attached to her!

He carefully sliced down, finally going through the last layer of flesh and revealing the spine. Immediately, Xu Yuan saw the thing that was emitting light.

He was shocked to see a strip as thick as a spinning thread attached to the spine.

The problem was that this line of blood vessels was stuck to the spine like glue.

If he wanted to separate them, it would not be easy.

He cut down along the incision, revealing the entire bloodline.

The bloodline was a strip of blood vessels emitting a bright yellow light. It was only about ten centimeters long, but it was still simultaneously extending, growing, and absorbing Liu Yi’s life.

This bloodline was extremely close to the spine. If the operation were to be even a little rough, it would destroy her nerves and cause paralysis!

He furrowed his brows and continued the surgery.

The sharp scalpel was slowly set in place, and the tip touched Liu Yi’s spine.

From the beginning to the end, his hands didn’t tremble.

He cannot tremble, or he would betray Lu Yu’s trust in him. His breathing was panting, and his mind was tense, not daring to relax in the least.

He gently cut open a small area where the two met and didn’t touch the nerves on the side.

The light coming from this bloodline was affecting his vision. He narrowed his eyes slightly and tried his best to ignore it.

Soon, he continued cutting down. Although it was only ten centimeters long, he was inching forward at a snail’s pace.

The time it would take to finish these ten centimeters would be even longer than running a kilometer!

He operated cautiously. When the doctors and nurses at his side saw his concentration, they all held their breaths and didn’t dare to take big breaths, afraid that it would affect Xu Yuan’s operation.

Doctor Zhao, standing at the side, sighed inwardly. Xu Yuan’s hands were so steady, even more than the machines in their hospital!

He felt ashamed that he wasn’t even one-tenth of Xu Yuan’s skill…

Time trickled slowly. Although it was only cutting a short group of blood vessels, it was arduous and demanding.

In the eyes of others, the scalpel in Xu Yuan’s hand didn’t move forward.

However, Xu Yuan knew he was moving at an extremely slow speed. If this speed increased, even a tiny bit faster, it might be a risk to any plausible mistakes.

Others wouldn’t be able to see that he was pushing forward, but he knew he was controlling the scalpel subtly, pushing it along slowly and safely.

This was the difference between these doctors…

Unknowingly, he had pushed his scalpel to the end of the blood vessels.

It was almost inevitable that this surgery could be completed smoothly. The most critical and challenging part was the position at the top of the patient’s head.

As long as there were no mistakes, it was certain that the surgery would be successful!

The nurse next to him was using tweezers to clamp the area in front where he had finished cutting.

The nurse was also nervous, but he tried his best to stabilize his hand so it didn’t tremble, or else this surgery would fail.

Of course, his hand was shaking slightly compared to Xu Yuan’s.

Finally, Xu Yuan completed the final cut.

“Clip it up,” Xu Yuan said softly.

The nurse was nervous as he slowly lifted the tweezers.

Everyone was shocked that the blood vessels clamped by his tweezers were emitting a bright light!

The surgery was a success!
