April 13th, Yinan Province, Yunbian City.
As a coastal city, Yunbian City during the rainy season appears damp everywhere. The moisture rolling in the air penetrates everywhere.
Provincial First People's Hospital,
A haggard middle-aged man, leaning his head in his hands, sits waiting anxiously outside the operating room. He remains motionless, his body tense, barely showing the rise and fall of his chest as he breathes. Sweat from his forehead leaves distinct light brown marks on his face, and his deeply sunken eyes resemble valleys at night.
At a certain moment, the words "Surgery in progress" flickered on the rotating screen above the operating room door, followed by the distant rumble of thunder.
The man lifted his head laboriously, swallowed, and his heart was overwhelmed with anxiety.
