Outside the operating room, Thomas Lucas was pacing back and forth.
Nathan Bolton pinched the bridge of his nose, "Can't you just take a break?"
"Nathan! It's not that I'm nervous! If anything happens to Grandpa, I..." Thomas's eyes were red, "Why isn't there any news from the miracle doctor?! Can't we find anyone at 916?! If we could, Grandpa wouldn't…"
"Trust her."
"Nathan, why don't you go back and rest first?"
"I'm waiting for her."
Thomas: "..." So, he didn't come to keep me company.

Lorraine Hughes removed her surgical gloves and told Dean Morris, "You handle the rest. I'll come for acupuncture tomorrow. Tell him to send over the medicine."
"Will he… listen? That person's medicine isn't easy to get."
"Tell him, or I'll break his leg."
"..."
"I'm off."
"Please come with me."
