Chapter: 1824
For Camila, stitching was the crucial final step of the operation, executed with swiftness, accuracy, and a hint of ruthlessness.
Each stitch symbolized action without hesitation, precise judgment, and a cool, calculated demeanour.
After all, this was real surgery on real people's hearts.
The human heart was being operated on.
As a cardiothoracic surgeon, Camila needed nerves of steel.
Hyman had witnessed Camila's clean, efficient technique, confident in her victory.
Avianna was among the top in the nation in this particular field as well.
With the competition concluded, the fate of the contestants rested in the hands of the institute's personnel, who would serve as the judges.
Now that the tournament was ended, the people at the institute would have the last say in who won!
Camila did so fast and skillfully without any flaw as if she were a machine. Despite Avianna's skill, a couple of imperfect stitches signaled the inevitable outcome.
Similarly, in the duel with Hilaria, Camila emerged triumphant, her skill unmatched.
In truth, Camila had long been admired by her peers.
Her youth and achievements were often deemed gifts from the divine.
“I knew it all along. My instincts never fail me..." chuckled the director before clutching his chest, his breath suddenly labored.
"Sir..." a bystander murmured, the room falling into stunned silence.
As uncertainty filled the room, Camila stepped forward, swiftly laying the director on the floor. She instructed Hyman to fetch oxygen.
Then, with a precise technique, she struck his precordium, a common first-aid maneuver aiming to restore normal heart rhythm by utilizing the low-energy current generated from the impact.
The director, struggling to catch his breath, displayed symptoms of malignant arrhythmia-a condition where the heart fails to beat properly, leading to breathing difficulties.
As Hyman brought the oxygen tank, Camila swiftly placed the mask over the director's nose and mouth, continuing to administer percussions to his precordial area.
For the next five tense minutes, the rescue efforts persisted.
