“Why are you going that way? Our mother! Please look at our mother first!”
A man shouted unreasonably.
“Caretaker. First, let go of this hand…”
“I can’t wait any longer! You’re a doctor! Please save our mother!”
Before he could finish speaking, the man shouted desperately.
“Our mother is more urgent! Please make her stop hurting quickly!”
The agitated caretaker roughly grabbed Ji-an’s wrist again. Then.
“Let go.”
A low, deep voice flowed out chillingly.
Ji-an’s heart sank as she quickly turned her head.
The man in the black coat who appeared through the crowd was Tae-jun.
The surrounding air quickly turned cold under his icy gaze scanning the emergency room. But when his eyes met Ji-an’s, they trembled slightly.
“Right now, grabbing medical staff is interfering.”
He pressed down on the caretaker with tremendous intimidation.
“If you want to save your mother, go outside quietly and wait.”
Tae-jun didn’t raise his voice. Instead, it became lower.
That was more eerie, and quickly subdued the agitated caretaker.
“Security Team!”
As soon as he removed the man’s hand that was holding Ji-an, he shouted.
Two security guards quickly ran over and held the caretaker immobile from both sides.
“Let go! I said let go!”
The man shouted belatedly. But Tae-jun never let his gaze be distracted in that direction. He only stared piercingly at Ji-an’s wrist that the man had just grabbed with his darkened eyes.
“…Are you alright?”
Ji-an took a short breath.
His heavy voice penetrated deeply into Ji-an’s heart through the noise and acrid smell. She felt emotional, but now wasn’t the time to be swept up in feelings.
“Yes. I’m fine. I’ll go see the patient now.”
“Go ahead. Don’t worry about what’s behind you.”
Go, save them. To your heart’s content.
Tae-jun nodded briefly.
Her reddened wrist bothered him, but he barely looked away.
And quickly scanned the entire emergency room once more.
“We need more monitors!”
“Where’s the intubation set?”
A cart with IV boxes showing empty bottoms.
A nurse hurriedly tearing tape with wet gloves.
Caretakers running around in confusion.
The situation was more serious than Tae-jun had thought.
Good thing I followed.
Tae-jun found exactly what he needed to do and gave instructions to Manager Kim who came running in after receiving contact.
“Strengthen emergency room access control and send caretakers to the separation area.”
“Yes, Chairman.”
“Get the list of needed supplies from the nurses. All portable equipment to the ER.”
As the surroundings were organized, heavy oxygen tanks rolled in from somewhere. Packaged intubation kits, IV boxes, burn dressing sets, and sterilized gauze were also stacked in sequence.
The emergency room was gradually being organized, and Tae-jun was at the center of it.
Ji-an could feel his burning gaze following her without missing her for even a moment in the complex emergency room.
She still had no intention of becoming a flower in a greenhouse. But the feeling of being protected by him definitely gave her stability.
He really has all kinds of ways to make a person’s heart flutter.
Ji-an hurried back to the patient.
The patient’s groans penetrated, but it wasn’t as painful as at first.
It seemed like she had gained some breathing room.
Ji-an couldn’t deny that the person who created that space was Tae-jun.
***
The world was in an uproar over the garment factory fire incident.
Outdated facilities, electrical short circuits, human disaster.
A morning when news subtitles analyzing the causes filled the screen.
Cha Bo-kyung’s phone when she opened her eyes was plastered with hospital notices.
Situation reports, additional work requests, internal control instructions.
Even professors were urgently called, and Hanyeong Hospital’s emergency room was no different from a battlefield all night.
Of course, all that commotion was thoroughly someone else’s business to Cha Bo-kyung.
After flipping through the screen a few times, she snorted and threw her phone onto the bed.
What was important today wasn’t this kind of accident.
Soon, fentanyl, a psychotropic drug, would disappear from the emergency room.
Of course, the one stealing the drugs was a nurse she had bribed in advance.
But the culprit would be designated as Hong Ji-an, who was on the same shift.
The movement route, CCTV blind spots, and even record modifications would all be perfectly manipulated. The work would be easier since the hospital was chaotic.
Bo-kyung slowly raised the corners of her mouth.
People were simpler than expected.
As long as there was reason to suspect, the truth didn’t matter.
She had already been planting seeds for several days.
The story that Hong Ji-an was the granddaughter of Park Soon-ja from Dongsan Hospital.
The rumor that she had entered Hanyeong Hospital hiding her identity.
‘That family had a drug case, didn’t they.’
‘Could it be, that granddaughter?’
Whispers always multiplied quietly but wickedly. This time would be the same.
One of Park Soon-ja’s charges was violation of the Narcotics Control Act.
That one fact was enough.
Narcotic painkillers disappearing from the emergency room?
It was obvious who people would think of first.
“Somehow, this time I have to get Hong Ji-an removed from Hanyeong Hospital.”
Bo-kyung stood in front of the mirror and looked into her own eyes.
In the mirror was her own face, born from perfect care, incomparably more beautiful than Hong Ji-an’s, smiling.
“As expected, no matter how I look at it, I’m better.”
Bo-kyung simply couldn’t understand Seo Tae-jun.
The man must be more tender-hearted than he looks. Why he was fixated on a worthless woman like Hong Ji-an. He even went to visit her mother at the hospital.
She had to deal with it before things got more complicated.
In a few days, Tae-jun’s mother Song Jeong-suk would visit the hospital.
Bo-kyung planned to escalate the incident so that rumors about Hong Ji-an would reach her ears.
No matter how much Seo Tae-jun cared, he wouldn’t be able to handle involvement with narcotics.
Bo-kyung hummed as she drove and arrived at the hospital.
She leisurely entered the lobby.
Perhaps due to the fire incident the day before, the hospital was somehow chaotic.
It was when she was heading toward the elevator.
“Wait a moment. Dr. Cha Bo-kyung.”
A security guard hurriedly ran over and stopped her.
“What’s the matter?”
“Instructions came from above. Could you follow me for a moment?”
Bo-kyung narrowed her eyes briefly, but obediently followed along.
However, the place the security guard led her to was the hospital’s back door.
The moment they stepped outside, the security guard who had stopped walking spoke.
“Dr. Cha Bo-kyung, you are under investigation, so hospital access is prohibited starting today.”
“What did you say? What kind of nonsense are you talking about right now?”
Bo-kyung became agitated at the sudden situation.
“I just follow orders. Please check the notice sent by the hospital.”
The security guard turned around and entered the hospital without any further explanation.
And as if drawing a boundary line, he stood guard in front of the entrance.
“Ha.”
It was so absurd that a hollow laugh escaped her.
Though her whole body was trembling, Bo-kyung first took out her phone. And she discovered a text message she hadn’t checked yet.
[Notice]
An internal audit regarding Hospital Director An Seong-han is currently in progress.
For the fairness of the investigation process and patient safety, you are temporarily excluded from medical duties.
Hospital access is prohibited until further notice.
“What is this?”
Her expression contorted and her heartbeat became rough.
Bo-kyung immediately called her father. But the response she received made her even more bewildered.
-Bo-kyung. Don’t even go near the hospital, go to the Incheon villa right now.
“Father? What are you suddenly talking about?”
-The hospital director got caught. While investigating money flow, your name came up by chance. For illegal solicitation.
“That’s ridiculous. That’s what you did, right? It wasn’t me!”
-Be quiet and do as you’re told! Father is in danger too right now. If that proxy doctor gets exposed too, it’s over.
Father shouted angrily.
Bo-kyung was startled by her usually gentle father’s rage and gritted her teeth.
The proxy doctor had been sent overseas so there was absolutely no chance of getting caught. Even so, Bo-kyung was equally afraid.
“Father. You’re not abandoning me like this, are you?”
Bo-kyung asked in a trembling voice.
-I’ll contact you, so stay hidden quietly for now.
The call was unilaterally cut off.
Bo-kyung clutched her phone and anxiously bit her lips repeatedly.
It was unfair. She couldn’t end it like this.
Suddenly, doubt flashed through her mind.
Coincidence? Was this really all a coincidence?
No. No way. No matter how she thought about it, it didn’t make sense.
This was a counterattack at the perfect timing when she was trying to strike Hong Ji-an.
It’s that bitch. Hong Ji-an.
She must have noticed the plan first and struck preemptively.
I won’t let this slide. Hong Ji-an.
Bo-kyung moved with cold steps, glared at the emergency room for a while, then turned around ominously.
I won’t die alone. Absolutely not.
