Mrs. Johnson approached after hearing his words, her eyes swollen and red. She gently shook Donald Johnson's hand and asked softly, "Honey, can you ask the nurses if I can go in and see Samuel now?" As she spoke, tears fell again, and as she wiped them away, she added, "I'm afraid if I don't see him now, I might never get to..."
Donald Johnson slightly pursed his lips but this time did not scold his wife for her unreasonable request; instead, he turned to inquire.
The nurse shook her head and said to Donald Johnson, "The operating room must maintain a sterile environment, and currently, no one except medical staff can enter."
Donald Johnson nodded slightly and sighed deeply.
That day, he had almost spent a lifetime's worth of energy.
If this operation were not successful, he could hardly imagine how he would get through the next day.
