As the medical team began their assessments and preparations for Marshmallow, Nurse Emily turned to me with a gentle but firm expression. "I'm afraid you'll need to leave the room, Miss," she said kindly. "We have to perform an operation on Marshmallow, and it's important for the doctors to work without any distractions."Reluctantly, I nodded, knowing that Marshmallow's well-being was the top priority. I leaned down to give Marshmallow's hand a gentle squeeze, whispering words of encouragement once more before stepping out of the room.The waiting room felt like a purgatory of anxiety and uncertainty. It was filled with the hushed voices of worried family members, each waiting for news about their loved ones. I found an empty chair, my heart heavy with concern for Marshmallow.Time seemed to stretch endlessly as I sat there, lost in my thoughts and prayers for our friend. The minutes turned into hours, and with every passing moment, the weight of the situation pressed down on me. Wou
The medical team, despite their exhaustion, continued to work diligently. Dr. Reynolds, now with a bead of sweat rolling down his temple, gave orders with precision. "Nurse, hand me the micro-sutures," he said, his voice steady but tired.Nurse Emily, who had been assisting since the beginning, quickly passed the required instruments. Her hands moved with practiced efficiency, a testament to her experience. "Here you go, Doctor," she replied, her voice calm and respectful.The beeping of the heart monitor continued to provide a rhythmic backdrop to the room's activities, a constant reminder of the patient's fragility. Marshmallow lay still, her chest rising and falling in the controlled rhythm of the ventilator.Dr. Reynolds meticulously sutured the incision he had made earlier, his hands moving with expert precision. Each stitch was a testament to his skill, a delicate dance between life and death. The room's tension had not dissipated; instead, it had shifted into a different form –
"Ma'am, Ms. Marshmallow is awake." The nurse came out of the operation room adjusting the nose mask she had as she broke the news to Alpha Galan.I couldn't help but jump for joy and wrap my hands around Alpha Galan's neck, jumping on him. "I'm so happy!"Alpha Galan's eyes opened in awe as he least expected my actions. I chuckled noticing how uncomfortable he was as I respected myself and maintained poise, clearing my throat as I turned to face the nurse."How's she? Can we go and see her?" I asked not being able to control my excitement.Nurse Emily giggled. "No, you can't for now. The doctors are still packing up." She explained before excusing herself to leave. And of course, she didn't leave without batting an eye on Alpha Galan who remained a straight face until her disappearance.My jaws dropped in disappointment but I didn't let that pull me down because I was too excited to see Marshmallow. I had a lot of apologies to do and some encouragement to give."I can see you're super
