by fnovelpiaMy hospital has an inpatient room.
But it is not operating.
Because this is not an emergency room.
However, when emergency surgery is needed, the patient is immediately sent to a higher-level hospital.
We only accept same-day hospitalization when absolutely necessary, but we are also avoiding that.
The woman’s heart stopped and started beating again.
Fortunately, I didn’t feel like I had to go to a big hospital.
Her body covered in wounds was disinfected and the torn parts were stitched.
Bandages were applied and patient clothes were put on.
I was given fluids to help me recover.
“Phew.”
As soon as I was relieved that the work was finally over, I relaxed.
dump.
I sat down as if I was throwing myself into a chair.
It was only now that I realized how good the chair was.
“It feels like I went through a hard time buying something.”
Yes.
I wonder if there was any need to do this.
This woman has nothing to do with me.
To put it simply, he is a person with no face to face.
The only thing I should have done as a person was to prevent suicide.
I did my duty.
The next answer was to hand it over to the police.
There was no need to listen to whatever the woman asked.
[Please…please…]
Her battered and battered body.
Her face covered in blood.
Her earnest voice.
Is it because of that?
In the end, I had no choice but to listen to her request not to hand herself over to the police.
“Why on earth am I like that……”
There’s one more thing.
There was something I felt in my heart.
“Wow, what is it really?”
I scratched my head in frustration, but couldn’t remember anything.
There was something.
There was something like an unknown attraction to her.
Something hard to explain.
That ultimately made me take a risk.
I looked at the clock.
It’s already well past 10 o’clock.
“I need to call Mina.”
I can’t leave work without this woman right now.
He said his heart was racing and he was stable, but he had not yet come to his senses.
The woman opened her eyes for a moment, looked at me, and then fainted again, as if relieved.
[Roar.]
[dad? Why aren’t you coming?]
Minah’s sharp question rang on the phone.
“I’m sorry, daughter. An urgent patient came in… it’s a hospital.”
[uh…? Dad, you didn’t usually do night shifts, right?]
“The patient was so urgent that there was nothing he could do.”
[Um…I understand. Then when will you come?]
“I guess I won’t be able to go in today.”
[Hmph…I miss my dad…]
“I’m sorry, daughter.”
[Instead, give me a kiss tomorrow.]
“Huh?”
[Kiss me! Wherever I want! got it?]
It was a slightly strange request from my daughter.
You mean go wherever you want?
Well…it probably doesn’t mean anything. Even so, it’s not the lips, is it?
“Yes, I understand. daughter. I will do it.”
[Really?]
Minah checks again.
I’m a little worried about what on earth they’re trying to do…
But that doesn’t mean we can’t do it now.
“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely do it.”
For now, all I can do is say ok.
[huh! Well then, good luck dad!! You have to cheer up!]
“Thank you for understanding, my daughter. I love you.”
[Still, I’m glad.]
“Huh?”
[I feel like my dad has gained strength.]
Tuk.
The phone was disconnected.
The daughter’s last words.
I know why she said that.
Arin’s death took away my normal life.
My fate is truly tragic.
I became unhappy at a moment when I should have been happy.
The first marriage failed.
Because there was no love.
My ex-wife was the most beautiful woman, but she was nothing more than a conman who was trying to take advantage of me.
I was fooled by her fraud and ruined my life.
So I had no choice but to get divorced.
It was so hard.
At least it was my daughter who helped me through the divorce.
I was able to gain strength because of my daughter.
No, it became everything in my life.
Is it fortunate among misfortune?
no.
It was a gem.
The only gift that brought laughter to my life where I couldn’t smile was my daughter.
What is unfortunate is that we were not able to repay our daughter, who was such a gift, with our family.
Single-parent family.
It was fatal for my daughter too.
On the surface, it was possible to get another mother, but that would be meaningless.
I needed a woman who could love me and take care of my daughter.
But how many women are like that?
That’s why I was giving up.
Arin rushed towards me in an instant.
She was a kind woman who loved me for a long time.
I also felt that he treated his daughter with sincerity.
I felt like the woman I had been hoping for had finally appeared in my life.
The fruit of love.
Birth of a family.
Just before that moment she disappeared.
I don’t know why it disappeared.
Everything was like a midsummer night’s dream.
So I searched like crazy for her.
I wanted to know the reason.
The child who loved me so much…
The woman who waited patiently for over 10 years…
Because I couldn’t understand why he left without saying a word.
If I knew why I left… I felt like I could give up.
Since Arin is a wise woman… it must have been an understandable reason.
But the result was tragic.
I heard from the man who was Arin’s father that she passed away in a car accident.
I thought it would be better not to look for it.
They probably think he left me because he didn’t like me.
You’d think she’d meet another man and live happily ever after.
Cursing Arin for abandoning me without a word…then at least the recovery from the pain would have been faster.
But Arin’s death is different.
I wasn’t told why I left.
Dead people cannot speak.
The pain inside me hasn’t come to an end yet.
She put an end to her life.
That’s why my spirit was completely broken.
Psychiatric medication is something I take to survive.
Because if I break down, my daughter will be alone.
In the past, I overcame it with my daughter, but now it’s different.
Even after seeing my daughter, she did not recover.
There was a question as to why that was so.
The answer was found in the words of my colleague, a psychiatrist.
[It was true love. I am suffering from the aftereffects of that love not being realized.]
Yes.
I didn’t know love until I met Arin.
I didn’t love my wife.
The days with Arin.
The moment I laughed and chatted with her on the trip.
The warmth that held her.
I can still feel her soft lips.
Everything left a soft and sharp scar of love in my heart.
[Time will tell. This medicine is like a painkiller that helps me get through that time.]
Yes.
The medicine helped me forget the pain of the scar.
I wish I could just forget about it.
But if you completely forget it, you might feel even sadder.
Anyway, I took the medicine and got through each day.
It was hard work.
I didn’t want to show my daughter, but I had no choice but to do it.
I knew my daughter was worried, but I had no idea what to do.
That was the best I could do.
I spoke less.
The power of actions and words has disappeared.
The speed of speech and action slowed down.
There were a lot of cases where I was absent-minded.
But that wasn’t the case in the phone call I just had with my daughter.
‘Is it because of that woman…?’
My heart still beats violently.
A body sticky with her blood and my sweat.
It was proof of my struggle to save her, whose heart had stopped.
The struggle and struggle to save the woman.
In the midst of this, I myself was coming back to life little by little.
“Haha……”
I leaned against the wall.
I lost strength at the absurd fact.
Until just now, I thought I had done something great for a woman.
Why did I do this crazy thing? I also thought that
But no.
As I tried to save the woman, I was able to shake off the mental pain little by little.
I looked at the woman.
The heart rate is normal according to the heart rate monitor.
He was sleeping well with a comfortable expression.
“When I wake up, I should say thank you, right?”
I brought a folding chair and sat down next to her bed.
We have to wait until she comes to her senses.
I did everything I could.
Now all you have to do is wait for it to recover.
****
Flashing.
A white ceiling appeared in Eunha’s eyes.
Sigh.
She got up.
“kk…”
The pain was so severe that her entire body crumbled.
It was a hospital.
A hospital without anyone.
And next to the hospital bed where Eunha lay, there was a doctor sleeping with his head leaning against the wall.
She remembers clearly.
“The person who saved me…”
This is the person who saved him when he almost committed suicide, and saved him when he almost died from the side effects of confession drugs.
She looked at her body.
Bandages were tied around the injured area.
The leash was loose.
Eunha herself was dressed in a hospital gown.
Anyone who saw it could feel the sincerity.
‘Why does this person… treat me like this…’
I moved my body.
I don’t know, but it’s rude to occupy a place like this without paying a penny.
‘I have to quickly… give an example…’
The galaxy had nothing.
This means that I am now receiving free treatment and using this hospital room for free.
And this man.
I don’t know how much time passed, but I couldn’t keep stealing this man’s time.
If I continue to lie here, I will harm this man in many ways.
‘It would be better for this person if I… disappeared quickly.’
The IV needle was pulled out.
I quietly turned off the heart checker.
Squeak.
“kk……”
The man did not wake up despite the groans coming from the pain felt throughout his body and the creaking of the bed.
I was sleeping so well.
slowly.
He slowly stood next to the man who saved his life.
‘I’m sorry… I’ll get the hospital gown for you soon after I’ve paid for it.’
Eunha bowed her head and walked past him and left the hospital.
It was dawn before dawn.
It’s time to stop looking weird walking around.
I caught a taxi.
“I will go and do the calculation for you, so please go here quickly.”
The taxi carrying her was speeding away from Eunhyuk’s hospital.
