Wendy looked at Gavin without blinking, and her eyes were full of obsession.

He looked at her serious face and couldn't help smiling. He stroked the young lady's hair and complained, but his tone was full of pampering. "Silly."

"It doesn't matter how silly I am!" Wendy threw caution to the wind. She grabbed Gavin's hand, and ordered him by saying in a spoiled manner, "You have to make a pinky swear with me!"

Gavin still couldn't contradict Wendy. He made a pinky swear with her and said, "It's a deal."

In the past, those who didn't know Gavin well would think that he was careless and didn't have much responsibility in his heart.

Speaking of which, even Wendy had thought so in the past.

But now, she and Gavin were married.

In this world, no one knew him better than her.

She was well aware that he looked carefree on the surface, but in fact, he valued a promise more than anyone else.

Now, since he had promised to have breakfast with her after the operation, he would definitely survive the operation, recover, and fulfill his promise.

The most important thing was that he had promised her by making a pinky swear, and he couldn't get away with it.

This was equivalent to another safeguard for Wendy.

She didn't seem to have anything to worry about.

Wendy threw herself into Gavin's arms and held him tightly with both hands. "The operation is about to start. Dr. Sanchez said that you will be under general anesthesia. You won't feel anything during the operation. I want to tell you something, Gavin."

"Well, I'm listening." Gavin touched the back of Wendy's head. "Tell me."

Wendy carefully organized her words, looked into Gavin's eyes, and said slowly, "I want to tell you that during the operation, no matter what you experienced in the emergency room, I will go through it with you, although there will only be one door between us."

Gavin didn't say anything.

He knew that Wendy wanted to tell him that she would be with him all the time.

He smiled, held her hand, and stroked it carefully in his palm. His every movement showed infinite attachment and love for her.

Wendy leaned against Gavin. After a while, she looked up at him and continued, "Also, I will strive to get Dr. Sanchez to agree to let me enter the operating room and be together with you while you take the surgery."

Hearing this, Gavin frowned and almost subconsciously rejected Wendy's words. "No, I don't agree with that."

Wendy instantly became anxious and asked in a hurry, "Why?"

"Wendy, I'm going to have cerebral surgery." Gavin lowered his voice. "I don't want you to see my skull being cracked."

"Well, you don't need to worry about that." Wendy pressed her chest and said firmly, "Don't forget that I'm also a doctor. I've taken many anatomy classes! I can handle any big surgical scene!"

"It's not the same." Gavin shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Wendy, you can watch others undergo an operation. But when I am the one taking the operation, do you know how much psychological impact you will suffer?"

Wendy thought for a moment and insisted, "I can handle it!"

"Silly." Gavin smiled more helplessly. "There's a reason that the doctors don't operate on their own relatives. Did you forget that?"

Humans were all animals that have feelings.

After undergoing systematic training, the doctors entered the dissecting room countless times and knew the human body like the back of their hand.

However, if it weren't for the urgent situation, no matter how powerful a doctor was, he wouldn't be able to operate on his family members.

Moreover, Gavin was going to have cerebral surgery, which would be more bloody than usual surgery.

Even if Wendy was a doctor, she might not be able to handle that kind of scene.

In order not to have Wendy scared, Gavin would never allow her to go into the emergency room and be together with him while he took the surgery.

Wendy ignored Gavin's opinion and continued to say, "I'm not going to operate on you. I'll just be with you!" After a pause, she continued, "It won't have any impact on the operation!"

Gavin couldn't help but press his temple. He said helplessly, "Wendy, I'm afraid that the operation will have you scared."

Only then did Wendy realize that Gavin was just being considerate of her.

While she found it sweet, she also became more determined about being with him.

She still wanted to say something, but at this moment, a familiar knock on the door interrupted her.

She didn't need to guess to know that it must be Noah.

Wendy put on her coat and walked over to open the door. As expected, Noah was standing outside, looking energetic.

Noah seemed to be able to guess that Wendy must be in a heavy mood and wanted to cheer her up. As soon as he saw her, he raised his hand and smiled at her. "Hey, good morning."

Wendy also smiled and said, "Good morning." Thinking that she wanted to be together with Gavin during the operation, she hurriedly said, "Dr. Sanchez, shall we talk somewhere else? I have something to discuss with you."

Gavin, who was lying in the hospital bed, had already guessed Wendy's intention when he heard her words. He coughed softly.

There was no doubt that this cough was for Noah to hear.

The relationship between Noah and Gavin had evolved from doctor and patient to friends. There was a certain tacit understanding between the two of them.

He understood Gavin's hint.

Noah looked at Wendy and tried his best to say in a euphemistic tone, "Wendy, before the operation, I have something to explain to Gavin. However, it won't be convenient to let you know about it. Do you... know what to do?"

Wendy didn't say anything.

She certainly knew what to do.

However, she was very curious about what Noah was going to say to Gavin.

She thought for half a second and shook her head, looking confused. "I don't know. Can I stay here with you?"

Noah was speechless.

She had known Wendy for so long that he certainly knew that she was doing it on purpose.

"It doesn't matter. I have plenty of ways to deal with her!

"She is direct, and I can be more direct!"

"Since you don't understand, I'll tell you directly-" Noah pointed to the living room behind him. "I need you to stay there for a while. You're not allowed to show up before I finish talking to Gavin!"

Wendy didn't expect Noah to make his meaning clear. She pursed her lips and looked unhappy. "This is our ward!"

She meant that Noah couldn't drive her out.

"You and Gavin are just staying here temporarily, so how can you say that this is your ward?" Noah thought for a moment and said, "According to your logic, since I work in this hospital, I can say that this is my hospital. Will that be right?"

Wendy didn't know what to say.

Noah continued naturally, "This is my hospital, and you are my patient. Of course, you should listen to me."

Wendy didn't say anything.

Wendy knew that she couldn't rebuke Noah, so she reluctantly went into the bathroom to wash up.

She brushed her teeth and washed her face. "Noah and Gavin should have finished their talk, right?"

Seeing that the bathroom door was tightly closed, Noah walked into the ward and looked at Gavin in confusion. "What do you want to tell me?"

Gavin looked at the bathroom door. After a while, he looked back at Noah and said, "Wendy may make a request to you later."

"What is it?" Noah was confused and suddenly understood. "Is this the reason why you want to keep her away while we talk?"

"There's not much time left. I'll tell you directly." Gavin said slowly to Noah clearly, "After she comes out of the bathroom, she will propose to go into the emergency room and stay with me during the operation. I hope you can turn her down."

Noah frowned and said almost without hesitation, "Of course, I will turn her down."

Whether domestically or abroad, only the patient's family members were allowed to accompany the patient by delivery surgeries.

As for the other surgeries of different sizes, except for the medical staff, everyone would be irrelevant no matter how high the career or status of the patient's family members was. No one would be allowed to step into the operating room.

Gavin breathed a sigh of relief. "That way I can rest assured."

"You won't need to worry about that at all. Next, let's talk about the operation." Noah looked calm and gave Gavin a comforting look. "Your operation plan was jointly formulated by Henry and me. You can rest assured with this plan."

Gavin knew what Noah was going to say, so he smiled and said, "Of course, I believe in you."

Although he usually liked to roast Noah, he would never doubt the doctor's strength in the field of medicine.

After Wendy went through a car accident, her right hand almost couldn't recover. If it weren't for Noah, she might never be able to pick up the scalpel again.

Although Gavin usually roasted Noah, he was actually grateful to the latter.

Noah was well aware of this.

Therefore, he rarely paid attention to Gavin's teasing words.

However, this was the first time that Gavin had said it so directly that he believed in Noah.

Noah was very gratified with his trust and continued, "During the operation, Henry and I will do our best to ensure that there will be no mistakes in it. You can just go through it with peace of mind."

"I get that." Gavin smiled. "As for whether the operation can succeed or not, it depends on me, right?"

"In fact... it will have little to do with you." Noah thought for a moment and said, "From now on, we will leave it to God's mercy."

"Leave it to God's mercy...

"It sounds like a matter of course."

But in fact, only Gavin knew the helpless meaning behind those words.

He smiled and said in a calm voice, "I see."

Noah reached out and patted Gavin on the shoulder. "Be strong and optimistic. More importantly, believe in yourself."

These were the only few requirements that Noah had for Gavin.

Gavin nodded. At this time, Wendy came out of the bathroom and looked at Noah with expectation in her eyes. "Dr. Sanchez, have you finished talking with Gavin?"

Noah knew what Wendy was up to.

He smiled and motioned to her. "Uh-huh, we are finished. You can talk now."
