"The surgery was a success," Dr. Brian Sanders said, smiling. "Mrs. Bemba is quite stable. We've even already moved her to the Post Anesthesia Care Unit."
Dr. Sander's voice was like a thunderclap in Zachary's ears. It reverberated within his mind for a few seconds, washing away all the anxiety and gloom accumulated over the past few days. His mind cleared as his mood lightened. He felt like he'd just bathed in a cool spring with mystical powers.
"This is great news," he heard Emily say while patting his shoulder. "Zachary, I'm really happy for you."
Zachary nodded and thanked her. He then nodded at his aunt in silent affirmation of overcoming a hurdle together before returning his attention to Dr. Sanders.
"Can we see her?" he asked with eyes filled with anticipation.
