She was the assistant surgeon today, working alongside Yates to complete the surgery.
"I am!" Ernest stood up, his body swaying slightly in his haste and nervousness.
I steadied him and approached Milly, "Dr. Milly, what's going on?" "There's been significant bleeding during the surgery. You need to prepare yourselves mentally. Here's the consent form," Milly said, her words freezing Ernest andin our tracks.
"Is it critical? How's the situation now?" Fanny, still in her scrubs, happened to arrive just in time.

I squeezed Ernest's hand for support, and after exchanging a brief, determined look with me, he quickly signed the form.
"Thank you for your efforts, Dr. Milly," Fanny expressed our gratitude as Milly turned to leave.
Milly gave a brief nod before hurrying back into the operating theater.
As the door closed behind her, Fanny cover to console us, "This is just a procedure. Don't assthe worst. Trust Dr. Yates." Ernest couldn't bring himself to sit down again, pacing instead, and I stayed close by his side.
After another agonizing two hours, the lights in the operating theater finally went out.
At that moment, our breaths seemed to stop.
Fanny had stayed with us the whole time, not even bothering to change out of her surgical attire.
We all watched the closed door of the operating room intently, as if it were the gate to life itself.
Finally, the door opened, and there stood Yares and Milly, both in scrubs, looking like beacons of hope as they stepped out.
Ernest and I rushed towards them, asking, "Dr. Yates, how did the surgery go?" "It was a complete success," Yates finally turned to acknowledge someone behind us.

Fanny smiled, stepping forward to embrace him.
