The minimally sufficient surgical tools had been assembled by the doctor and placed on a table next to Mrs. Siska, who lay unconscious.
Through the monitor screen, Aldo could see her condition was dire and rushed to perform surgery on her.
"Sir, are you certain you want to do this? If the operation fails and the patient dies due to your rashness, you could end up in prison."
The worried doctor expressed a concern Aldo was already acutely aware of.
"It's risky, but I cannot simply stand by and watch her die," replied Aldo, looking sorrowfully at Mrs. Siska's face.
Whenever he saw the middle-aged woman, he was reminded of his own mother currently toiling away in their village.
Her kindness also deeply resembled that of Aldo's mother, compelling him not to ignore Mrs. Siska's suffering from her illness.
So he resolved to make every effort to save her!
Aldo, firmly resolute and with a surgical scalpel in his right hand, proceeded with the operation, armed with newly acquired knowledge.
The aim of his surgery was to clear the blockage or narrowing in the coronary arteries of a heart disease patient.
Normally, an operation of such scale would require 3 to 5 surgeons, but Aldo managed splendidly on his own.
His movements were exceedingly agile, thanks to an increase in agility he had received earlier.
The doctor who observed the procedure marveled at the skill of the man before him.
...

...
An hour had passed, and Aldo had completed the surgery successfully.
After suturing the incision, Mrs. Siska's condition had evidently improved, as seen on the monitor screen.
Aldo removed his gloves and surgical mask before leaving the room to share the good news with Myra and Mr. Suman.
"Aldo, you've come out! How is my mother?" exclaimed Myra, rushing toward Aldo to inquire about her mother's condition.
Mr. Suman, too, hurried from his seat, his aged body shuffling toward Aldo, "Is everything alright?" he asked.
"You can see for yourselves."
Aldo invited them into the room with a gentle smile.
Both were elated upon seeing Mrs. Siska's condition improving, observable on the hospital monitor and Mrs. Siska's no longer pale face.
With tears of joy, Myra immediately embraced Aldo, who towered over her.
Burying her face in his broad chest, she sobbed, "Hwahh... thank you so much, Uncle... you've saved my mother... hiks..."
Aldo smiled softly and gently stroked the young girl's hair, reassuring her, "Now there's nothing to worry about, your mother will soon be out of the hospital..."
The two hugged in the empty hospital corridor, Myra crying in Aldo's embrace while he continued to gently stroke her hair.
Unbeknownst to them, a beautiful woman observed their closeness from the end of the hospital hall with tears of sorrow rolling down.
She was Laura...

> 7 Days Later.
Mrs. Siska had recovered notably since the surgery performed by Aldo.
She was almost fully healed now, able to engage in normal activities like everyone else.
This rapid recovery, considering her previous dire condition, piqued curiosity among the hospital residents, but no one knew the actual story as the doctor had kept the operation confidential, following Aldo's directive.
“This place hasn't changed much...” Mrs. Siska looked at their home and family restaurant with a sad gaze.
It was unclear how long she had been hospitalized, away from home.
"Come on, let's go inside, mother," urged Myra, taking Mrs. Siska by the hand.
All four of them entered their home with newfound joy.
Immediately upon arriving, Mr. Suman quickly prepared his beloved wife's favorite meal, and they gathered around the dining table, happier than ever.
With Mrs. Siska's return from the hospital, the family felt nearly complete, though the absence of their eldest child was a silent underlying sorrow.
On the living room wall, Aldo noticed several neatly displayed photos, one featuring Mr. Suman, Mrs. Siska, Myra, and a striking blond-haired woman.
The woman was Mr. Suman and Mrs. Siska's eldest daughter and Myra's sister, Nia.
Taken 10 years prior, the picture showed a 7 to 8-year-old Myra; it was evident how long Myra had been separated from her sister.
Moreover, Aldo found it odd the system had not assigned him a mission to find Nia; such prompts usually occurred in moments like this.
Still, he didn't dwell on it, and after finishing breakfast, headed to his room as night fell.
"System, display my status," Aldo said as he lay on his bed.
[Certainly, Sir!]

"Despite draining all my System and Ability Points to save Aunt's life, I didn't expect to be able to accumulate this much in just 7 days," Aldo mused in wonder.
His reward for completing the mission to save Mrs. Siska's life was 500 System Points, 500 Ability Points, and 10 million in cash.
Disregarding the modest sum of money, 500 System Points and 500 Ability Points were more than enough to make up for the expended points.
Additionally, Aldo's daily missions had increased from before, awarding 50 System Points and 50 Ability Points for the completion of each task.
This was where Aldo saw a dramatic rise in accumulated Points. Apart from the Points, Aldo also benefitted from a significant boost to his statistics.
