Silence enveloped the operating room where Hyunwoo was performing surgery.
Knowing that he was exerting superhuman concentration, no one dared to exhale loudly.
Only the mechanical sounds beeped rhythmically.
The patient’s vitals were stable, and the tumor removal performed so far was proceeding without major difficulties.
On the monitor connected to the real-time brain surgery guidance device, one could confirm the ongoing tumor removal.
Hyunwoo’s gaze fell on the surgical room’s computer monitor. His infinitely cautious eyes paused on the screen.
During the pre-examination consultation with the patient’s guardian, Song Ijeong’s mother mentioned that the patient’s personality had changed. Although sensitive before, emotions became more extreme, and she often acted capriciously.
It was undoubtedly due to the tumor. The test results already indicated that the tumor was causing significant issues with brain function.
Instead of persuading the protesting Song Ijeong patient to be discharged, Hyunwoo decided on a stronger approach.
“Please discharge.”
“What?”
“I’ve approved it, so if you leave the hospital right away, it’ll be fine.”
“Hey! Why did you drag it out if you were going to do this anyway! You’re not even going to perform the surgery! Since I got tested at this hospital, things got worse! You won’t take responsibility, so why did you do that?”
Anticipating that the patient’s peripheral vision was already significantly impaired, he expected the psychological unease to worsen.
Despite Ijeong’s forced plea to be discharged, her eyes were filled with fear.
Eventually, they decided to proceed with the surgery.
As Hyunwoo continued to remove the tumor, his hand suddenly stopped.
Even if it touched the nerves at a level that could be considered almost impossible, even if it was removed without any major issues…
The tumor that hadn’t yet affected the nerves was not completely removed. Still, if it were another professor, they might not have come this far.
“Professor…”
The one who called him with a trembling voice was Sori, who assisted him.
“Just a moment.”
Hyunwoo sighed under his mask.
Initially intending to approach the surgery without meeting the patient, he ended up meeting the patient this morning. It was because of Ijeong’s request.
“Thank you. I wanted to see Professor’s face. It might be the last time. I know I’ll eventually become invisible. Just, please, Professor, take care of the surgery. Whether I die like this or like that, it’s the same now.”
Unexpectedly, from the patient who began with words of gratitude, there was no sign of the resentful attitude that had been displayed before.
“We’ll minimize damage to the brain nerves during the surgery. If there are any tumors that cannot be completely removed by surgery, we will likely follow up with radiation or drug therapy. You’ll have to bear with that. The treatment period will probably be a bit longer…”
The patient eventually shed tears. The dam of emotions seemed to have crumbled.
Complete removal of the tumor causing the problem. That was the only stubbornness he possessed.
As Sori mentioned, if sight is as precious as life to the patient, I, as the doctor holding the scalpel, cannot take it lightly.
After carefully examining the monitor screen again to ensure nothing was missed, he spoke.
“Alright. We should stop here.”
“Yes, Professor. Thank you for your hard work.”
Relief permeated Sori’s voice, which had been on edge.
“Let’s tidy up.”
“Yes.”
Exiting the operating room, Sori caught up with Hyunwoo and clasped his thumbs with both hands.
“Professor, surgery is truly like reaching the realm of the divine.”
“Pray to the higher power above. Ask for it not to grow any further.”
“You said you don’t believe in a higher power.”
“But you do.”
Perhaps he truly didn’t know if there was a higher power.
Brain tumors arise without a known cause, and prevention is impossible.
Moreover, no matter how advanced technology becomes, how good the medicine becomes, or how improved the equipment is, considering the patient’s inherent luck, it cannot be ignored.
From now on, he had to believe in Song Ijeong’s luck.
May the higher power watch over his fortune.

Saturday afternoon.
After a long time, Seongjae was preparing to welcome Sori and Hyunwoo.
Today, Sori and Hyunwoo had planned to experience making pottery in Seongjae’s workshop.
Seongjae, who had stubbornly rejected the proposal to buy a dish set as a gift, unexpectedly made the suggestion and handed it over.
The daughter’s goal, which reluctantly agreed to the offer of experiencing it, was quite grand. She wanted to make her own honeymoon dishes.
“Making things is just for fun, and it’s better to buy something pretty if you need it.”
“Making and using is better than buying.”
Despite Sori’s objections, Seongjae secretly brought down a sturdy box to leave the present on the first floor. It was a special limited edition dinner set from a famous German brand that Kangwoo had rescued.
“Ugh, it’s heavy.”

Short scene 1:
Feng Bai Su looked at the young man crying like a pear blossom in the rain before her, and couldn’t help but doubt her life.
Wasn’t the male lead described as a cold and otherworldly figure in the book?
Then who was this poor little thing crying with swollen red eyes and tear-stained face?
Short scene 2:
Wei Jing Mo stared intently at Feng Bai Su who was about to go out, wanting to say, “Be careful on the road.”
Before he could speak, Feng Bai Su suddenly bent down and bit his cheek.
Her peach blossom eyes were full of disdain: “Tsk! You’re so clingy!”
Wei Jing Mo: “…”
