Sookie's wounds were deep and required delicate and precise suturing, especially around her stomach and arm. It involved long periods of intense concentration, for both he and Abigail. Nevertheless, the results were very good. All wounds were clean of infection and would heal nicely as long as Sookie rested.
It had been a long time since the good doctor had conducted surgery in a more professional setting. Instead he had grown accustom to pulling people apart, piece by piece. But it all came back as if he were in the operating theatre at Johns Hopkins again, teaching students the difference between a needle used for simple and complex lacerations. Along the way, he didn't miss the opportunity to teach Abigail about the importance of each organ and how they each were a part of a network that gave us life.
Once Sookie was in a stable condition, Hannibal decided to bed down and encouraged Abigail to do the same. They both needed to rest.
Eventually he woke. His eyes flickered open and focused on the time. Two hours had passed. His eyes shifted immediately to where Sookie lay. Earlier on, he moved her from the surgical table to a firm but comfortable mattress. Her arm was still linked to the IV, that was good. He looked around again and this time for Abigail. He padded into the shower room and still nothing.
He sighed with frustration and rubbed his face.
