Chapter 175 - Needs to come out (2/2)

”Dr Greenberg is more than half an hour away. My sister won't make it that long.”, JoAnna responded.

”There are other surgeons.”, Dr. Light's voice was cold.

”No one, other than you is capable of handling this. Please, I beg you. Come and take a look at her.”, JoAnna was desperate.

”Are you asking me for a favor?”, his eyes lit up. Did his time finally come? Time when JoAnna is asking for something from him?

JoAnna was not sure how to answer this. But she was desperate, so she picked one. ”Yes.”

His lips stretched into a smile. ”Favor needs to be repaid.”

JoAnna's heart dropped. ”What do you want?”

”Let's start with a dinner.”, He responded with a smirk. It was obvious that he enjoyed the sound of her asking him what he wants.

JoAnna swallowed hard. ”OK.”

He nodded with satisfaction and stood up. ”Lead the way.”

Dr. Light checked on Sarah and confirmed what JoAnna said. When they looked at the small object on the monitor, they observed that it slightly moved from its original location.

”Is it possible that this thing moves?”, JoAnna asked as she stared at the screen.

Dr. Light observed monitor and nodded. ”There are experimental small robots that will get inside patients' body and administer medicine at a specific location. They can be controlled remotely. But I have never seen one this small.”

JoAnna's mind spun and landed on an expression: 'Second wave'. Could this be what Philip injected her with? But there was no time to think about that. Sarah is getting worse by the minute.

”Dr Light, can you operate on my sister?”

”Our deal stands?” He wanted to make sure.

JoAnna didn't hesitate. ”Yes, yes.” There is nothing she would not do to save her sister.

He turned toward three nurses who stood behind. ”Get her into the surgery, resident Hill will assist me. We start in ten minutes.” He looked at JoAnna with a smile. ”Let's go and get ready.”

JoAnna anxiously nodded and turned toward Aiden. ”Wait here. Sophia will be here soon.” She rushed outside behind Sarah who was being wheeled out by nurses.
