"It's just a small, yet powerful device. How does it even work?"
Avery went over and handed her a few documents.
"These are the documents that explain the theory, but I am having a hard time understanding them. Without conducting experiments myself, these just look like fantasy stories."
"The design of it looks like an electronic board. Have you seen one before? It's like she had connected every single nerve inside the brain onto that board. It sounds absurd, but Angela made a bold move to try it, and it worked."
This was far beyond Avery's medical knowledge, and it was a concept that she would not have even dared imagine, even in her wildest dreams.
"Elly was right just now. To understand the device as soon as possible, the only way is to take it out so that you can better understand how it works."
Avery immediately shook her head. "No way. Elliot is barely surviving using this device. What if he dies when we take the device out?"
"Yeah. We are just saying that this is the fastest way to understand how the device works. We aren't actually suggesting that you really take it out from Elliot's brain." Her senior set the documents down."
Avery, this task is far too demanding. You don't even know how long it took Angela to come up with this..."
"But I have all her research data here," Avery argued.
"They think it's too difficult, and even if we somehow manage to comprehend the mechanism, it's not like we can sell the technique." Avery stood by the couch and sighed. Without any help, it would take her extremely long to make a breakthrough.
"Don't get disheartened. Everything starts off feeling unreachable. Elliot is the man you love, and the father of your children. We are definitely going to save him," Mike said. "I will go find the top neurosurgeons and ask one by one to see if anyone is willing to join your team. It's just a matter of money, right? We have money, so don't worry."
Avery felt moved by Mike's words.
"Thank you, Mike. Every time I'm in trouble, you are always there to help me. I'm grateful to have you around."
Elliot stepped out of the bedroom just in time to overhear what Avery said. He felt horrible because not only could he not help her, he was the cause of the "trouble" she was encountering.
