"Did she just say that Everly's in the comatose stage?" Dr. Han muttered softly. His brain is still processing the information blurted out by Manager Kim.No one answered him. Silence broke through the entire area. Manager Kim had already walked out without giving them a single glance.Dr. Lee stood rooted in his spot. Regret is what he's feeling right now. He didn't know what to do at this time."Hans" Dr. Han called him.Dr. Lee didn't look at him but replied. "What happened to Everly?" He wanted to make sure that it was not only him who heard about it.Dr. Han glanced at his friend whose head was lowered down. Just looking at Dr. Lee, he can't help but feel sympathy towards him. He knows that he is already blaming himself. He, too, is blaming himself."She's in coma, Hans. I think that's the real reason why she has not been visiting us for the past few days."He was already suspecting it. From the 2 days he talked with Everly, he was sure that she was the type of person who would h
In the large black and white living room, the floors were covered with beige tiles, a large red carpet was laid neatly and there were complicated Begonia patterns engraved on the walls.The large Smart TV was placed exquisitely on the wall and it can be seen directly that it's a newly bought one. Including all the furniture, from the sofa to the cabinets, to the tea table, up to the large mesh curtains hanging on the window."Lady Song, everything has already arrived." An elderly man dressed in a black formal suit, with a bow tie on his neck, respectfully said to the young woman in front.The woman nodded slowly. "Butler Kang, kindly tell the maids to get those large boxes in the basement here. Tell them to hurry.""Right away, Lady Song"After Butler Kang left, the lady, named Louisse Song, sat on the one-seater sofa, with her legs crossed elegantly at each other.Her straight long blonde hair gently cascaded down to her waist. Her rounded eyes and long eyelashes perfectly compliment
"Hans, are you okay?" Dr. Han worriedly asked.Dr. Lee just nodded and stared in front again.Since the day Everly left the village, his friend had been abnormally quiet the whole time. If there's no patient, he would catch him staring blankly at the sky.He, too, was distraught about what happened. He felt so ashamed of what he did to them. If only he had known Everly's condition beforehand, he would have been the very first one who would stop her.He is too ashamed to see Everly again. Recalling how he spoke to her manager and also to Mary, he wanted to smack his head so hard. He finally understood why they were so angry at the patient.Regarding Aila's condition, since the day she was slapped by Manager Kim, her attempts at killing herself vanished. Although she's still not in the right condition to socialize or talk with others, her suicidal attempts were gone. Which is a very big improvement.A month had already passed since the day they arrived in the village.They were supposed
"How is she, Dr. Tan?" Manager Kim worriedly asked."There's still no improvements to her condition." Dr. Tan replied.In his old years of being a doctor, he never once encountered this type of illness. He was also the doctor who checked Everly in the past when she fell into a coma for the first time.When she woke up before, he couldn't personally say that it was because of his treatment. It was just pure luck if you ask him.For years, he had been studying why drawing out blood from her system causes her to be in a coma. However, it was only he who knew about it.Since it's a very rare case, he made sure that his research wouldn't be discovered by anyone. Or else, it would be dangerous for the patient. Especially since she's a public figure. Her life won't be the same again once her condition is out."Manager Kim, I already warned you before. As much as possible, don't let her do anything willfully." He said as he looked at Manager Kim.When he first checked her condition in the pas
Dr. Lee went back to his usual work. Doing surgery, doing check-ups, and doing his usual rounds in the hospital.For this day, he had already finished two major surgeries earlier in the day. The first one was heart bypass surgery for a man in his mid-thirties, while the other was gallbladder removal.He had been so busy. He didn't even have time to eat his lunch due to his busy schedule."Dr. Lee, your next appointment is still at 4:40 pm." the nurse said when the patient went out.Dr. Lee is in his office, doing a check-up. He glanced at his watch and it was already past 2 pm already. "Alright, I got it." He stood up and turned his computer off."Are you going to have your meal now, doctor? It's already past lunch, you have to eat something.""I'm good. I still have to go to the pediatric department. Call me if there's an emergency."With his unhurried steps, he went to the children's ward. He will be visiting Diane.It's already been a long time since the last time he saw that child
"Louisse, what are you doing here?" Dr. Lee asked as Louisse reached in front of him.Louisse is one of his childhood friends and, for him, she's like a little sister to him. He was an only child, so he never knew what it felt like to have a sibling. Someone that he can protect."I've been staying in the country for quite a while now. I had been visiting here, hoping to see you and finally, I got lucky. I finally saw you. I missed you Hans!" she hugged him tightly.Hans was taken aback by the sudden contact but didn't push her. This hug doesn't have any malice when it comes to both of them.He raised his arms and patted her back. "I've missed you too, Louisse."The nurses present were surprised by their sudden intimate gestures. In their minds, what their relationship is? What is her relationship with Dr. Lee? Is she his lover?Based on the way they hugged each other, they seemed close. Too close to be exact.Louisse smiled brightly after the hug. "I hope I didn't disturb your work."
A phone call arrived which interrupted their meal. Dr. Lee excused himself and answered."Hello?""Hans! You have to go back now. Your patient was having a seizure!" It was Dr. Han's frantic voice.Dr. Lee eye's widened. "What do you mean? Which patient?!""It was the patient who had surgery earlier this morning! Come back now! It's an emergency!"Dr. Lee didn't dilly dally and ended the call. "Louisse, I'm sorry. I can't accompany you further. There's an emergency in the hospital. Take care of yourself."He didn't wait for Louisse's reply and rushed back to the hospital.When he reached the patient's ward, there he saw the hospital director and other doctors inside."What happened?" he hurriedly asked Jonathan who was also inside."You're here." there's a hidden gloom around the corner of his eyes.This patient is a very important person and he knows, Hans would be in great trouble.The hospital director noticed Dr. Lee's presence and called him over. "Let's go to my office, Dr. Lee.
Dr. Lee and Professor Tan decided to meet in a cafe near the city entrance. It is located a few blocks from where Capital Medical Center, the hospital-owned by Professor Wilson.An elderly man with strands of white on his hair is seen. Professor Tan arrived at the cafe dressed in formal attire.Dr. Lee was already waiting for him and he already researched Professor Tan beforehand. When he saw him entering, he stood up and get his attention. Professor Tan saw Dr. Lee and went over."Professor Tan, it's nice to finally meet you. I heard a lot about you from Professor Wilson." he greeted him with respect.Before, when he was still a student, Professor Wilson would always mention Professor Tan to him. He said that Professor Tan is a very skilled doctor but likes to keep a low profile so only a few people know him.He is only known as a professor in the university, nothing else. According to Professor Wilson, Professor Tan is a person who doesn't like to socialize much and would rather lik
