Xander sat in front of the operating room without moving. During the seven-hour operation, Xander was completely motionless. Since last night, the man has not slept or eaten anything. While now it's 9 in the morning but Xander is just silent to make Kendrick approach him.
"Don't want to eat first?" Ask Kendrick to sit next to her son.
"Later on," said Xander slowly, his mouth felt sticky because he did not speak anything.
"The operation may be a long time, clean yourself first. If Stella sees that her blood is still on your shirt, she's going to be very sad" Kendrick said of her daughter's shirt, which was still dirty because of Stella's blood yesterday.
"Is Stella gonna be okay, Pa?" Xander's question continued to stare at Stella's operating room door. There were so many things on his mind right now, that he obviously hoped that his wife would survive and be able to return with him.
"Surely, Stella's a strong woman. He will definitely heal, pray a lot to God" Kendrick said encouraging his son even though he did not know whether Stella would be healed or not.
Xander did not answer, he himself did not know whether this operation would run smoothly or vice versa. As they fell silent with their minds, Xander thought the surgery was over, but he was wrong because the doctor was ready to come out with a very unpleasant facial expression.
"We should call a few more doctors, the state of the patient is critical, I say once again the current state of the patient is critical." Doctor Mazaya said and went back into the room.
Xander threw his head back to hit the wall, his heart that has not been calm is now again made mixed. Xander then brought himself closer to the connecting glass between the operating room and the waiting room.
Xander touched the cold glass, and there the woman was struggling between the lines of life and death.
"Stella, if you want to give up this time. Please don't give up, just hold on for me, Stella. Give me a chance to make you happy even if it's just for a day, let me hug you and make you smile again. Please give me that chance," Xander's inner voice clenched her hand tightly, her eyes reddened from holding back her cries.

"His heart is weakened, get a heart shock device," the senior doctor asked Dr. Mazaya to continue monitoring Stella's condition.
The spinal cord transplant was successful. But Stella's condition is getting weaker. Stella's lack of red blood cells makes the condition very difficult to overcome.
"Doctor, the pulse is also getting lost," said Dr. Mazaya panicked when she saw Stella's life-support monitor sounding very loud.
"Prepare everything!" Senior Doctor orders to take a heart shock device and place it on Stella's chest, she prepares to do a Dc-shock to Stella's body. But Stella's heart rhythm is still not normal.
"Again" said Senior Doctor.
"360 Joules" said Dr. Mazaya charging on the DC-Shock.
"Clear?" Ask the senior doctor.
"Clear,"
The sound of the instrument was loud, this time Stella's body was again jolted. The senior doctor immediately looked at the monitor and saw that Stella's heart rhythm had returned.
Dr. Mazaya wiped his sweat with his arm. His heart was relieved that Stella had stabilized.
"We can check the results now, do not forget to monitor the other patient. Sometimes the condition can change at any time," said the senior doctor was also very relieved, his first experiment turned out to produce satisfactory results.
"Okay Doctor," said Dr. Mazaya to check on Medison and then meet the Stella family who had been waiting.
"Good news, the operation went well. Currently Stella and Mr. Medison are still exposed to the effects of drugs, maybe in a few hours will soon be awake. Congratulations Xander, "doctor Mazaya reached out his hand to Xander.
Finally, all families can relax their shoulder muscles that are very tense since last night. Xander himself unceasingly thanked God for listening to his prayers by returning after being by his side.

"Stella, son, you're healed now, baby" Melisa said, kissing Stella's face as she continued to cry.
Stella cries, takes her mother's hand and kisses her softly. Know how worried this mother is.
Stella's gaze then turned to the figure who was standing gallantly behind her Mama. Without even looking at her, Stella knew that the man was very worried about her. Stella hears Xander's voice constantly asking her to come back, but her body is completely helpless and extremely limp.
Stella wanted to give up and chose to leave, but once again she saw Xander who continued to call her, because that is why Stella tried to survive and fight all the pain.
"Stella, hey ..." Xander approaches and Melisa retreats to make room for Xander.
"How are you?" tanya Xander lowered herself so that her position was level with the beautiful eyes of his wife.
"I'm good, I'm sorry" Stella said in a choked voice, feeling very grateful when she saw this face again. She regretted that she had almost given up on her fate without thinking about her husband's feelings.
"Ssttt, don't apologize, you're not at all guilty darling," said Xander shaking his head as he stroked Stella's hair. "You're the greatest woman I've ever met. Stella, I want to thank you. Thank you for coming back to me, thank you for coming into my life. Stella, maybe you've heard of it, but I want to say once again, I'm so lucky to have you Stella, I love you more than anything in the world. Thank you, thank you dear .." said Xander so sincere and haru, he kissed Stella's forehead, then his eyes and hugged her tightly.
Stella's cry instantly broke, she was deeply moved by Xander's very sincere expression of love. What else is he doubting now? Why could he have such a foolish thought to leave whereas Xander loved him so much like this.
Melisa and Xander's parents cried, and they were moved by Xander's words. Melisa feels grateful that Stella was met with the right man.
"Don't cry, you're healed now, smile. We'll be together forever" Xander wiped Stella's tears.
Stella nodded briefly, then glanced at her stomach which she felt had become flat. Stella was surprised and looked at Xander.
"By, our son?" ask Stella.
"Our son is fine Stella, he is born, get well soon so we can see him together later" Xander said, biting his lips, his heart ached again if he remembered his son who was still struggling in the NICU room.
"Why should he be born now? She's seven months?" stella asked hysterically, she was afraid that she would lose her child.
"Stella, calm down, she must be born. Aren't we given the grace to see it sooner?" xander said he was trying to calm Stella down.
"By, please don't lie to me. Has he been?" stella couldn't say that scary thing.
"Not yet, she's still safe, baby. Believe me, our son is a strong boy, he must be fine, I'm sure it is," said Xander either convinced himself or Stella, he himself how the condition of his son at this time.
