Chapter 856 Sunglasses will Still be Sunglasses
I have repeatedly read Sophie's research. And asked her how she thinks about recovering someone's sight. Unlike with names, this time I perfectly remembered everything in what she wrote.
Though I can still read them while performing the surgery. But if I could remember them in my head, then it will be easier.
Though the main surgeon for this experiment would be Sophie. Not me.
"I'm the one who proposed it. So I want to take responsibility with my own experiment. Let me do it. If it's a success, then you can do it. I might be slower than you, but this is the path that I chose," Sophie said to me when I suggested that I became the main surgeon for the operation.
What a great woman. In fact, all the women around me are great.
No one would ever imagine that Sophie, a girl who worked at a brothel, would become a respectable doctor and surgeon.
If this operation is a success, her name will be known in medical world. She will become famous.
Maybe the cult will think of capturing her because of her knowledge in medicine. But there's no need to worry since we have many people protecting her.
Even without me asking, Albert has send several agents to protect her from the shadow. He knows how important Sophie is not only in medical world, but also for me. And he knows that she will be targeted if she shows her worth.
By the way, those who are protecting her from the shadow often get surprised when I brought them some gifts for protecting her. They never expected that I could easily find their location.
Well, their reaction was funny so I kept doing it. For protecting my woman, they deserve to be rewarded.
Though Sophie herself is quite strong. It's just that she is reluctant to hurt other people. She's so kind.
But of course if she's in danger, she will protect herself and attack the assailant. She's already strong enough to face the cult's mages if she wants to.
She refused me when I suggested that I became the surgeon. But she didn't refuse when I said that I will be her assistant.
I might be better at operation, but she's not bad at all. I'm an Aura Master after all. Maybe I could even finish the operation in a few minutes if I want to. But for the first operation, she will perform it with me as her assistant, and many other doctors here as witnesses. To see how the operation progressed.
And if it's a success, then many people will be able to recover their sight. Only those who have similar case as Sunglasses.
The volunteers also have the same symptom as Sunglasses. We have five of them.
So in case someone couldn't see everything on the first operation, Sophie will perform it again on the next patient. Or maybe me since her stamina might not be enough. Though I need to slow down my movement so that everyone can see well.
And for everyone to be able to do it, we will only use the tools provided by the hospital. Not using Blobbies who have been transformed into the tools needed.
And so, we started the operation.
Sophie did well explaining everything. And even before she asked for some tool, I already prepared it to her. Because I have learned everything that needed to be done in the operation. Though she still did say the name of the tool so that everyone will know the process.
Because it is the first operation for this kind of surgery, and also the fact that Sophie needed to explain everything to the guests, it took several hours to just fix a patient's eyes.
"It's done. We will wait for the patient to regain his consciousness to ask him how he's doing. Though with magic, we don't need to wait at all," Sophie said.
Then she looked at me. It's my turn to wake him up without harming the patient.
Thanks to the usefulness of air mages, we now have a lot of air mages helping in the hospital. Most of them are my former students. They seem to think that being in a war is scary so they decided to be a doctor. Which is still a good choice.
Though we have me right now so I will wake the patient up.
I can just wait for a while, but I don't want to wait at all. So I used air magic to wake him up by neutralizing the gas that was used to sedate the patient.
His body raised but he couldn't see anything. Not because the operation was a failure. But because we wrapped his eyes with bandages. Though with my Divine Vision, I can see that his eyes is slowly recovering to similar to any other human eyes.
"I can't see anything. Was it a failure?" the patient asked.
"We don't know yet. From now, your eyes will slowly adapt to your body. Once they do, you should be able to see again," Sophie replied.
"How long will it take?" the patient asked again.
"Depend on how good the healing mage is. And right now, we have the greatest healer below master level with us. She will heal your eyes and make it adapt to your body so you should be able to see soon. Kayla, please," Sophie said.
It's Kayla's turn now. And she used her healing magic to heal only the eyes.
Kayla might not be able to see the patient's eyes. But she knows how to use her healing magic only to only target the eyes. We can believe in her.
Kayla is already a master level mage in her earth element. I think she's focusing on her healing magic now. As for her light magic, I don't know about that. I never asked.
"Alright. I have done my best. Let's see the result," Kayla said.
"Wait! I still can't see anything!" the patient complained.
"It's because of the bandage around your eyes. Here. Can you see now?"
I swiftly cut the bandages with a scalpel. Now everyone can see his eyes.
Light has returned to his eyes as he realized that he could see again.
"I... I can see aga—"
"Alright, that's one down. We have four more to go. Does anyone have any question or missed something from the operation?" I asked while ignoring the sentimental patient who just got healed.
"How long will it take to heal if there's no healer available?" a doctor asked.
"Well, that will be experimented on the other patient. We needed a healer to quicken the pace for this one to see the result. For the next one, we will ask the patient to wait until he recovers by himself. Anyone wants to perform the next surgery?" Sophie asked.
Of course I raised my hand here. Though they already prepared one patient for me. Sunglasses. But I want to try it on other patient first.
There are some other doctors who wanted to try. So we picked three other doctors to perform the surgery.
Then Kayla will heal two of them after the operation, and the other two will be asked to wait to recover naturally.
After that, I asked to perform the surgery right away. No one is watching me because we did two operation at once. Except Kayla who knew that I would be done in a minute.
And as I thought, I could finish the surgery in a few minutes using Blobbies as the tool. Kayla is already there prepared to use healing magic right after I woke the patient up.
"Can you see?" I asked the patient.
"I... I can see ag—"
Alright, I don't have the time to see some stranger being sentimental. So I left the room and enter the other operating room.
The surgeon there barely done with the first step when my patient could already see again.
Sophie is instructing the surgeon. And the surgery is done faster than the first one because there's no more need to be overly cautious again.
This one can see as well. Then the last two patients will have to wait until they can recover later. Who knows if it will take days or weeks. The hospital will watch over them.
"Alright, it's done. And it seem to have high rate of success as well. Kayla, let's heal Sunglasses' sight now," I said.
"Will you still call him Sunglasses after he recovers his vision?" Kayla asked me.
"I will force him to keep wearing sunglasses even if he can see again," I said.
And so, we both left the hospital. Sophie must be tired. But she seems happy that she succeeded.
I performed a surgery to Sunglasses and he finally can see again. His brother, the former king of... somewhere, also there waiting for him. They were so happy that Sunglasses can see again.
"Finally, I won't have to wear this again," Sunglasses said as he broke his own sunglasses.
"Here's a gift for your recovery. A brand new sunglasses. I don't want to see you without a sunglasses. Because I won't be able to remember your name," I said.
"...I guess I will continue wearing them forever," Sunglasses said as he received my gift.
With this, we have recovered Sunglasses' eyesight. Though I will watch him for the next few days in case something unexpected happens. But I hope that there won't be anything wrong with the surgery.
