Chapter 713: [(713)] Everyone was amazed Chapter 713: [(713)] Everyone was amazed The heavy atmosphere in the room made Xie Wanying acutely aware that, if she were to fail Senior Tao’s trust, the consequences would be extremely serious, as it could ruin his reputation as well. Her shoulders felt weighted as she adjusted her breathing.
“Just point out a few spots for me, no need to draw the entire line,” Tao Zhijie instructed her for the operation.
Listening to the gentle yet forceful voice of her senior brother by her side, like a great bell shield stabilizing the force field, lifted her confidence as well.
Xie Wanying thought it over and realized that Senior Brother, like Teacher Tan, had been wielding the surgical scalpel for years; he was a technical wizard. How could he possibly cut just because she said so? With her fingers touching a few points, Senior Brother could quickly complete the path for the incision. After mentally rehearsing it once, he would make the cut. As for how well he handled the scalpel, she had no need to worry.
To trust him was like how he trusted her.
Xie Wanying’s fingers touched the donor liver, one, two, three, four, five spots in total, pointing them out to her senior one by one.
“Good.” With not much time left, Tao Zhijie asked her to point them out once and then immediately told her to move her fingers away.
Everyone seemed to hold their breath,
As the scalpel made an incision and descended swiftly.
Whoosh–whoosh–some couldn’t help but gasp for air.
The cut of the scalpel, though seeming slow, drew an elegant arc and was like an ice skate gliding over the slick liver.
It was incredibly smooth.
The scalpel moved so smoothly and swiftly, it was too beautiful, too quick for anyone to even blink. All people could hear was the sound of the second hand ticking by, with a tick, the incision was complete.
Eee–ee–ee–the crowd gasped in amazement.
To the visual perception, Senior Tao appeared to take his time, but in reality, his cut lasted only a second.
Xie Wanying was profoundly shaken: This was the extent of Senior Tao’s skills.
The now-cleaved liver was divided into two parts. Everyone looked closely and saw that the dissected surface was impeccably clean, precisely creating one-third to two-thirds separation. Upon closer examination of the dissected plane, it was clear that the majority of the main structures were well-preserved in the two-thirds portion.
What surprised everyone was that Tao Zhijie had made the cut following the path planned by the female intern.
Previously, the others couldn’t imagine the cutting method described by Xie Wanying, so they doubted whether what she described was just fanciful and unachievable. But after Tao Zhijie put it into action, everyone realized that they were wrong and she was right.
Surprise echoed in everyone’s minds: How did she come up with that? How could her brain conceive of a shape that others couldn’t imagine?
This was the trusted newcomer and potential rising star trained by his own hands. Amid the surprise in Associate Director Xue’s eyes, a glint of self-affection surfaced.
He had placed his trust correctly in Tao Zhijie, and Tao Zhijie had trusted the junior; it meant that the legacy would be passed down from one generation to the next.
“Director, let’s proceed with the next steps quickly,” Tao Zhijie said with a smile, his voice calm.
“Right!” Associate Director Xue, now brimming with confidence, led the surgical team to carefully place the excised liver into the patient. Once inserted, the size was just right.
In the meantime, since she had the opportunity to be at the operating table and Senior Brother hadn’t sent her away, Xie Wanying unabashedly watched the surgery up close from midway until the end. After all, there were plenty of surgical assistants available; Senior Tao knew that missing one person wouldn’t matter, as anyone else would be there just to learn from the procedyre, just like her.
