As soon as he heard Eli's voice, the mess in his heart started to settle down and his mind became clear. 

"Uhn, I'm fine. We are able to do the operations successfully. But there's just something unexpected that happened along the way. But we are alright." Leon replied with an assuring tone. 

"That's good to hear!" He could hear the relief in Eli's tone. "Are you going home then?" He then heard her say with a gentle tone.

"I still have to settle the aftermath. Eli everything's fine now, please calm your mind and take some rest." He answered in a coaxing tone.
