It couldn't be that bad, right?

Dr. Wenz asked Dr. Ray again. Seeing him nod, he took a deep breath, put down his scalpel, and walked over to Flora's side.
"Since Dr. Ray trusts you so much, I'll trust you this time too. Go ahead, I'll assist you."
Dr. Wenz wasn't putting his faith in Flora, but in Dr. Ray's judgment. He had no confidence in performing the surgery himself; maybe this young woman he underestimated could actually pull off a miracle. Flora nodded, standing under the surgical light, and picked up the scalpel.
"Holy crap! They're actually letting Flora operate?"
"If anything happens to the mayor, won't we all be held responsible?"
Outside, all the senior lab members were on edge. What was Flora trying to prove at a time like this? Sure, she was talented, but even Dr. Wenz was stumped. And yet, she eagerly took on this ticking time bomb.
Alexa placed her hands on the glass, smiling weirdly.
"Oh Flora, you've chosen to walk into hell when you could've stayed safe in heaven. If the mayor dies on your watch, you're done for!"
A mad, bizarre smile crept into her eyes, as if she could already see Flora's downfall.
Inside the operating room, Flora picked up the scalpel, her eyes focused on the task at hand. What met her gaze was a blur of flesh and blood, even worse than before.
She sighed internally. It was a bit late, and the mayor's life could be saved, but it wouldn't be easy.
Dr. Wenz kept his eyes on Flora. From the moment she picked up the scalpel, he knew she was a pro. Her hands were steady and swift, the result of years of training.
Then, Flora closed her eyes. The scalpel in her hand didn't stop, expertly avoiding every nerve, searching for the hematoma and bleeding points.
"She actually closed her eyes!"
This bold move left everyone dumbfounded. Up until now, not even the renowned surgeon Jules dared to do this. This girl's courage was off the charts.
"Quiet!"
This time, it was Dr. Wenz who spoke up. Being a neurosurgeon himself, he knew that at this moment, the last thing needed was a disturbance. He stood right beside Flora, accurately observing every move she made with the scalpel. He was so shocked that his chest trembled.
This girl, she had actually reached such a level of skill? Memorizing every nerve and location in the brain by heart, she could operate effortlessly even with her eyes closed?
"The oxygen level is rising! Heart rate is also back to normal!"
The nurse's excited voice rang out. It's back to normal!
Outside the operating room, the mad smile froze on Alexa's face. How could this be... How could it be!
Inside the operating room, Flora's eyes remained closed, her fair, slender fingers gently holding the scalpel, her movements as smooth as flowing water. Ten minutes later, Flora put down the scalpel, her voice hoarse, "It's done, the surgery is complete, the mayor is no longer in life-threatening danger."
The heart that Dr. Ray had been holding in his throat finally settled down. His eyes filled with tears of excitement. Flora had done it! She really did it!
"However, there's some bad news," Flora exhaled a breath of turbid air, her voice tired. "The hematoma had previously pressed on the optic nerve, it's highly possible that the patient will wake up blind."
There was nothing she could do. By the time she took over, it was already too late. She could only save the patient's life; as for the rest, she was powerless.
