NovelOnlineWhy was Mike staying at the hospital? Was someone ill? Chad took a screenshot of his phone and sent it to Mike with a series of question marks.
About half an hour later, Mike turned off his GPS and called Chad.
"I was sleeping just now! The do not disturb settings were on." Mike said and yawned.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"You're at the hospital, aren't you? Is there someone ill? You're not sick, are you?" Chad asked, "Is Avery sick?" Mike sneered, "Didn't Eliot tell you anything?" "What do you mean? What would my boss tell me?" Chad was dumbfounded.
"Well, | suppose he doesn't want anyone knowing these shameful deeds of his." Mike snorted. "Does it even matter if Avery falls sick? Or if | fall sick? Is he going to visit us? Are you going to visit us? No! None of you are going to do that! So why ask?" Chad was speechless.
"Avery has already given up everything in Aryadelle, just leave us alone!" Mike said," It's already late, I'm going to sleep." "Okay... Go to sleep then! But could you turn on your GPS?" "I've already turned it off." Mike said bluntly, "I'll turn it back on when you quit your job." Chad snorted and hung up the phone.
Three days later, Avery took off the bandages on her eyes. Although the bandages were removed, she seemed to not recognize the world around her.
"Avery, how do you feel?" Mike looked into her eyes and asked.
"It doesn't hurt so much." She was observing the world with her senses. "| see the world flooded with red light." "Not hurting means that you're off to a good start. I'm taking you for a check-up." "Sure." Mike supported Avery in walking out of her ward.
The doctor performed scheck-ups on Avery and told her, "You seem to be recovering rather quickly, but | would recommend waiting a while longer for the wound to recover completely in order for the corneal transplant operation to be successful.” Mike asked the doctor impatiently, "Have you found the corneas that are suitable for her?" The doctor shook his head. "I haven't. But don't worry..." "How could we not worry? Why can't you find a suitable cornea for us?" Mike was feeling impatient, his tone was agitated.
Avery told him that there were no blood capillaries in the cornea, which meant that corneal transplants lacked specificity.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs long as the cornea donator was of suitable age, with a healthy cornea, the transplant could be done.
"Bridgedale's laws do not allow us to obtain corneas from other people illegally. We can only use the corneas donated voluntarily for corneal transplants." The doctor explained to Mike patiently, "Not many people voluntarily choose to donate their corneas. On the other h:c,;SLQ:, many patients need corneal transplants. Which is why corneas are usually in short supply.” "What do you mean by that? Does that mean that Avery has to wait in line? Does that mean there is no definitive answer as to when she can get her cornea?" Mike asked.
"Avery is a special case. She's a valuable asset in the field of medicine, and the dean of the hospital has given permission to provide corneas to Avery first. So, if there are healthy corneas available, we can perform the corneal transplant on Avery immediately." The doctor promised Mike," Don't worry about that." Mike heaved a sigh of relief. "What if nobody donates their corneas?" "If there aren't any corneas available here.
then we will have to look for corneas in other parts of the country." said the doctor," The chances of not having a single cornea in the whole country is rather slim." "If we really can't find any corneas, she can use mine," Mike promised.
Avery's calmness was broken when she heard Mike. She grabbed his hand tightly." Don't say that. | would rather be blind my entire life than use your cornea. All right, let's go back!" In Aryadelle, Layla received a call from her brother after a week of loneliness.
