CRAVING THE ALPHA SURGEON의 모든 챕터: 챕터 151 - 챕터 160

The following afternoon, Liam finally came home. I heard the sound of a car engine stopping in the garage, then his footsteps entering the house. I was in the kitchen, while Elena was sitting in the living room quietly coloring without a sound. As soon as the front door opened, Elena lifted her head quickly, but her body stayed still, not running to him like she usually did.Liam walked in with a tired face, but he was wearing a warm smile.“Hello.”I nodded a little. “Hello.”His eyes immediately searched for Elena. “Elena, sweetheart, Papa is home.”There was no answer. Elena only looked at him for a few seconds before bowing her head again, dragging her crayon slowly on the paper.Liam approached her and knelt in front of his daughter. “Papa is sorry for not being able to play yesterday.”Elena gripped her crayon tighter. “Elena knows Papa works,” she replied, but her voice sounded flat.Liam touched her small shoulder carefully. “Papa does not want to make you sad. Papa wants to b

Liam and I finally had time together for Elena. After all the chaos of work, surgeries, and endless schedules, today felt like a breath of fresh air we both desperately needed. It was Saturday, and for the first time in a long while, neither of us had duties or emergencies to run to. The apartment felt bright, warm, and peaceful in a way I had really missed.Elena was sitting on the carpet in the living room, surrounded by colorful building blocks. Her small hands were trying to stack them, but she kept getting distracted and rearranging everything instead. When she saw Liam and me approaching, she squealed in an excited voice.“Daddy, Mommy, look! Castle!”Liam exaggerated a gasp and rushed to sit beside her. “Wow. This is the most beautiful castle I have ever seen in my entire life.”Elena giggled, covering her mouth, clearly proud of herself. I sat next to them and stroked her soft hair. She smelled like baby shampoo mixed with the sweetness of milk. It was one of my favorite scent

One year later, I stared at my reflection in the mirror, dressed in a white graduation gown, the symbol of every surgeon who had finally completed their specialist training. My graduation day was supposed to be filled with loud applause and overwhelming excitement, yet it all felt like a long dream reaching its final chapter. Every sleepless night, every tear, every moment of guilt for rarely being home with Elena and for not giving enough attention to Liam, all of it played in my mind like a reel of memories.I closed my eyes for a second and took a deep breath. Today was the day I had been waiting for not only for myself, but for my family. For Liam and for Elena.When I walked downstairs, Liam was already standing in the living room wearing a perfectly tailored black suit, his hair slicked back, highlighting the masculinity he never lost. He looked at me without blinking, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.“You look incredible,” he said softly.I almost laughed nervously. “Don

The next day, I woke up earlier than usual. The first surgery was scheduled to start at eight and I wanted to have enough time to prepare everything without rushing. After showering and doing simple makeup, I stared at my reflection in the mirror. I smiled a little, not because I looked pretty, but because it still felt strange to realize that I was now a real surgeon and married to the busiest surgeon in this hospital, Liam.“I’m leaving first,” I said while putting on my shoes.Liam, still struggling with his tie, only nodded while letting out a small laugh.“Wait for me in my office later, we’ll have lunch together.”“Are you sure? Isn’t your schedule crazy today?” I asked.“For my wife, I always have time.”I pretended to fix my hair so he would not see my face turning red.Arrival at the hospital.The hospital was busy as usual, nurses going back and forth, the sound of fast footsteps in the hallway, and the familiar smell of antiseptic. I clipped my ID card to my chest and walke

It was almost nine at night when the hospital room door was suddenly knocked three times. I thought a nurse was coming for routine checks, but the moment the door opened, my whole body froze.My father was standing there.It had been a long time since I last saw him wearing a lab coat, clean white, carrying that distinctive scent of a research facility. His eyes were sharp as usual, but there was clear restlessness hidden behind them.“Dad?” my voice barely came out.Liam stood from his chair, straightening his posture reflexively as if he realized something big was happening. My father walked in without saying much, closed the door, then looked at Elena who was still lying weakly with an IV line in her tiny hand.“How is she?” my father asked.“Her fever has gone down, but her body is still weak because of the silvermoon effect,” Liam answered, trying to remain professional.My father nodded slowly, then opened the small black bag he had brought with him. Inside it was a vial filled
