Dr. Otto was stunned by Strange's words. He said unhappily, "What's wrong with my plan?"
Otto was a proud man. He did not like others to question him, but Strange was an authority in this field. He had to listen to him, so Dr. Otto was not in a good mood.
"This operation didn't take Penny's age into account. She's too young, and her recovery ability is not comparable to that of an adult. "Strange threw a few pieces of information in front of Dr. Otto.
"I've participated in several nerve repair surgeries. The Osborne Group's regeneration drug is not a panacea. Recovering from nerve damage is much more difficult than recovering from musculoskeletal damage. "
"It can be said that the slightest difference makes a huge difference. A problem with any important nerve will lead to a problem with the whole body. " Strange pointed out the problem he had discovered. "The wound is too big. We have to use a very small wound surgery."
Otto leaned back in his chair and massaged his temples to think about what Strange had said. He said slowly, "You mean with Strange's small wound surgery?"
Dr. Otto stared at Strange through his glasses and said, "As far as I know, the best chief surgeon for this operation is standing in front of me. He is questioning my medical plan. At the same time, he is also the one who rejected little Penny. "
Otto's words made Strange feel so awkward that he could not sit still. He felt very uncomfortable under Dr. Otto's gaze. Finally, he got up and said, "I've said too much. Goodbye."
Just as Strange was about to open the door and leave Otto's office, Dr. Otto's voice came from behind him. "You've already rejected Penny. Why did you still come? Is it charity? Or did you find your conscience and want to save someone? And then enjoy the pleasure of being a savior?! "
Otto's words were very sharp, which made Strange a little uncomfortable. He did not turn back. He just gently leaned his forehead against the wooden door frame of Dr. Otto's office.
"I don't want to save anyone. I just want to save myself." With that, Strange opened the door and turned to leave.
Dr. Otto sat down again and picked up the place where Strange had pointed out the problem. Maybe he really should adjust the plan.

California State Prison.
"William Baker!" The prison guard shouted as he walked down the prison corridor. He held a letter in his hand. He looked at the email address on the envelope and said, "There's a letter from New York State Osborne Group Medical Center. The sender is Penny Baker."
Every letter that comes to the prison is checked, but it is usually handed to the prisoner. Because cutting off contact between criminals and their families is not conducive to the rehabilitation of criminals.
As long as the letter was not illegal and contained no contraband, the prison would hand it over to the prisoner.
As far as William Baker was concerned, he was only imprisoned for robbery and injuring someone. He was not considered a serious criminal. Usually, he would be released after two years.
Moreover, he was relatively well-behaved after he was sent to prison, and the prison guards did not make things difficult for him.
When the prison guard who delivered the letter arrived at William's cell, the strong middle-aged man was already leaning against the iron bars, waiting for the arrival of the prison guard.
"A letter from your daughter. Take a good look. "The prison guard patted William's shoulder as he passed the letter to him.
This made William feel a little bad. In fact, when he heard the prison guard read the address of Osborne Medical Center, he already felt something was wrong.
Because he knew very well that in this prison, only his daughter, little Penny, would send a letter from New York every month. And he also knew what kind of illness his daughter had.
It was a very dangerous disease, and if surgery was needed, it would cost a lot of money. He had heard of the famous Almond Central Hospital and Doctor Strange.
Seeing a doctor in such a high-end private hospital required a lot of money, and inviting Doctor Strange for surgery was even more expensive. It was impossible to think of anything less than half a million dollars.
And half a million dollars was an astronomical figure for most American families. William Baker was just an ordinary construction worker.
In order to get enough money to hire Strange for surgery, he had to take the risk. But the result was obvious. He was arrested, and Penny went to an orphanage.
As William's only spiritual support, Penny was his biggest motivation to live in this world.
He eagerly opened the envelope and took out the letter. It was a very thick letter, and it was obvious that it could not have been written by Penny.
Penny was only six years old and did not know how to spell a lot of words, so there was no way she could write such a long letter.
Just as William expected, only the first chapter of the four-page letter, which had more than 300 words on pink letterhead, was written by Penny.
She simply wrote about her life in the Southern Cross Orphanage. It included playing with friends, and a new caregiver named Thor finally fixing the TV. So she could watch SpongeBob again.
So she did not keep her promise and did not leave the candy for her father. Instead, she gave it to Thor. She hoped that her father would forgive her.
At the same time, she said a lot of good things about Thor, and even said that she fainted while watching TV. (Seeing this, William's heart clenched.) Then Thor sent her to the hospital and so on.
After that, she wrote about how she wanted her father to take her to catch jellyfish when he came out (because of SpongeBob's influence).
At the end of the letter, it was written without any head or tail, and many words were misspelled and grammatical errors.
But this did not affect William's repeated reading. What he was afraid of had finally happened.
He did not dare to read the long letter written on regular paper. He was afraid that he would see the thing he did not want to see the most.
But he still opened the letter with trembling hands. This was a formal letter written in the name of Thor, but actually drafted by Li Jie.
In order to show formality and sincerity, Li Jie wrote it by hand instead of computer printing. He briefly explained Penny's condition and told William that Penny's condition could not be delayed any longer.
After obtaining the signature of the orphanage director, Oscorp Medical Center would perform surgery on Penny in the near future.
The cost of the surgery would be shared by the charity fund under the Osborne Group and the charity fund established by Marvel.
At the end of the letter, a copy of the director's signature was attached.
Legally speaking, William did not have guardianship of Penny. There was no need for Li Jie and Thor to send him such a letter.
But as a father, they felt that it was necessary to inform William.
William Becker clutched the letter tightly. His heart was burning with anxiety. Li Jie's letter made it clear how dangerous Penny was.
Dr. Strange refused the surgery, and the surgery would be performed by Dr. Otto of Oscorp Medical Center.
He was now in a prison in California, and Penny was far away in New York. If the surgery failed, William could guess what the consequences would be without saying it.
And the risk of this surgery was very high! In other words, it was very likely that William would never see the last of Penny!
William Baker took a deep breath. He glanced at the prison he was in. No matter what price he had to pay, he would go to New York to see Penny!
Even if he would be locked up in prison for the rest of his life!

On the vast ocean, a 200,000-ton tanker was moving forward, cutting through the waves. This was the tanker of Lord Man Zhang Tong.
He was now in the captain's room, video-calling someone thousands of kilometers away through a satellite signal.
