“Then it’s difficult to go into surgery right away.”
“But isn’t the grandmother also in urgent need of surgery?”
“If we perform surgery on a patient with no guardian, how can we? Anyway, I’m going into surgery with the chief. Right?”
“But isn’t the grandmother also in urgent need of surgery?”
“If we perform surgery on a patient with no guardian, how can we? Anyway, I’m going into surgery with the chief. Right?”
“Can I talk to Professor Seo?”
“Dr. Yoo, handle it yourself.”
Jongwoo quickly disappeared with a patient with minor cerebral hemorrhage.
In the end, there was no one else but Hyunwoo whom Sori could contact to discuss the situation.
Sori immediately called Hyunwoo and briefly explained the situation. Fortunately, Hyunwoo responded that he would perform the surgery, making Sori’s expression brighten.
Meanwhile, the police arrived at the emergency room.
“We received a report and came. Where is Shin Hyunsuk?”
“Over there.”
However, the bed Sori pointed to was empty.
“Grandma? Grandma!”
Frantic Sori searched around the emergency room floor and beds, looking for the grandmother. Two police officers just stared at Sori.
A bewildered Sori, with a pale face, spoke.
“She was definitely here until just now. It seems she went somewhere briefly while I was attending to another patient. Could you please look around inside the hospital? She’s a dementia patient, and she needs immediate surgery.”
“Oh, okay. Can you describe her appearance?”
“Brown, she was wearing a brown vest. Her hair is cut short. She has a white bandage on her forehead!”
“Yes, understood.”
Sori’s face looked like it might cry at any moment.
She thought Kitae would be watching, but Kitae was nowhere to be found in the emergency room.
It was a job she was about to give up on.
At that moment, Kitae, who had gone to the restroom, casually walked into the emergency room.
“Mang Kitae. You should tell me when you’re leaving!”
Sori spoke in a slightly angry tone without waiting for a response.
“Why? What happened while I was gone?”
“That grandmother disappeared.”
“What? She was sitting quietly.”
“Grandmother is in a dangerous condition. I’ll go out and look for her. If the police find her first and bring her back, make sure to call me.”
“Yeah. Yeah. Got it.”
Sori left Kitae and rushed out of the emergency room in desperation.
Sori wandered around the hospital like crazy, searching for Hyunsuk. Sweat trickled down her forehead.
Restroom, lounge, bedding storage room, treatment room. Every possible hospital room.
In this vast hospital, there were too many places for the small grandmother to hide.
“Could she have gone outside?”
A sinister thought flashed like lightning. Sori, as if crazy, rushed through the lobby and out of the hospital building.
At that moment, Hyunwoo, who had waited and grown tired, met Sori on her way to the emergency room. Sori didn’t even see him passing by.
“Yoo Sori…!”
Hyunwoo called her name, but Sori, lost in her thoughts, didn’t hear him.
“Why is she like that again?”
It seemed necessary to confirm what had happened. Hyunwoo chased after Sori into the emergency room.
“Mang Kitae. What happened? Where is Shin Hyunsuk?”
“That… she escaped from the emergency room, and now the police and Teacher Yoo Sori are looking for her.”
“What?”
Kitae bowed deeply in front of Hyunwoo. He couldn’t bring himself to say that all this had happened while he briefly went to the restroom.
Hyunwoo, understanding the situation, let out a long sigh.
Sori, who had run around the hospital and returned, came back to the emergency room. Her breathing was uneven from all the running.
Sori, with an exhausted look, ran towards the emergency room, as if she were running out of her mind.
Sori, with an exhausted look, ran towards the emergency room, as if she were running out of her mind.
“Professor… I’m sorry. The patient…”
The patient, not realizing she was the one who needed help, had run out of the emergency room.
It wasn’t Yoo Sori’s fault that the sick patient, oblivious to their own condition, ran out of the emergency room.
“It’s all my fault. I overlooked it… What should I do?”
Suddenly overwhelmed with worry, Sori couldn’t hold back tears and cried like a child.
“Yoo Sori, don’t cry.”
“…Yes.”
However, despite her response, tears kept flowing down her cheeks like a stream.
Observing this, Hyunwoo’s expression gradually turned stern.
“Yoo Sori, come with me.”
In the crowded emergency room, filled with patients, nurses, and other doctors from various specialties.
This was a mistake.
Hyunwoo took the lead and walked out of the emergency room.
Sori followed, wiping away her tears.
The place he led her to was the emergency exit staircase closest to the emergency room.
Considering that the emergency exit stairs are a place where many doctors make mistakes and get dragged, Sori had a gut feeling that something was wrong.
Hyunwoo, standing with his back facing her, pushed aside his gown and put both hands into his suit pants. As Sori followed, he turned to look at her.
His expression had changed significantly from earlier. He stared at Sori with somewhat cold eyes.
“Yoo Sori.”
“Yes.”
“It seems like you have some misconception.”
What was he trying to say?
His low, heavy voice was already oppressive.
An anxious Sori, shaking her head, kept her gaze fixed on his shoe tip.
“You’re not a medical student volunteering, are you?”
“…”
“Do you understand what I’m saying?”
“…”
“The hospital you’re working at is a for-profit enterprise, not a charity.”
“I know.”
“But.”
The Sori who had promised to perform the surgery now faced a Hyunwoo she hadn’t expected.
Even though she understood that it was a scolding filled with affection, it still brought a separate feeling of disappointment.
“Are several doctors supposed to be busy because of one patient? Can you be confident that you didn’t miss any other patients during that time?”
After the grandmother went missing, Sori was so distracted that she couldn’t reach Hyunwoo. Sori realized her mistake at that moment.
“I’m sorry. But…”
“Leave it to the police. They are looking for her.”
“Still, how can we…”
“Don’t be stubborn. Listen to me. It’s time to be calm and distinguish when it’s time to be calm.”
She somewhat knew.
If it weren’t for Hyunwoo, she wouldn’t be able to provide any treatment to a patient without a guardian.
Still, Sori felt a bit disappointed.
“Go and stay in your place.”
“…”
“No answer?”
“…Yes.”
Passing by the frozen Sori, Hyunwoo approached the door. Just as Sori turned to follow him, he stopped abruptly.
“And you.”
“Yes?”
Hyunwoo’s voice was still as dry and courteous as ever.
“Don’t cry.”
“…”
“Don’t act like a child.”
“…Yes.”
“Show me tears once more. I’ll kick you out of the hospital, so be prepared.”
On the last day, he gave a final warning and opened the emergency exit door, stepping outside.
Like a fool, it was already the umpteenth time showing tears at the hospital and in front of Hyunwoo.
That part embarrassed Sori as well.
Following Hyunwoo’s instruction to guard his position, Sori weakly headed towards the emergency room.
Did I really make a mistake?
Even now, many patients were waiting in the emergency room for the touch of a doctor. Hopeless patients approached doctors, waiting for them to examine the painful areas. Sori slowly observed their earnest eyes.
Indeed, there was no false statement in everything Hyunwoo said. However…
“Grandmother, where on earth did you go…”
The anxious feeling was unavoidable.
