"The surgery was successful," Dr. Morello informed Lucius and Roderick. "We thoroughly scanned the abdominal region and everything looks stable now. Given the patient's age, recovery might take some time, but there's nothing alarming. We'll keep Mr. Alekis under observation for at least a week before considering discharge."
Lucius leaned forward slightly, still holding onto a thread of concern. "So, there's nothing else to be worried about, Doctor?"
The surgeon offered a warm, professional smile. "No, there's nothing to fear. The operation went smoothly."
Lucius smiled, feeling a heavy weight just got off from his chest. He gazed at Roderick, who was happy too.
"Thank you so much, Doctor Morello. You've given my father a second chance at life. We're beyond grateful to you and your team," Lucius said earnestly.
