To Our Pure Little Beauty

Chapter 3

My dad underwent the operation early in the morning the next day. Jungkook had recommended a female doctor, her surname was Jisoo, her beauty had an air of intelligence and intellect to it, and standing next to Jungkook, together they were a talented man and beautiful woman.

Initially, my mum didn’t trust Doctor Jisoo very much, she felt that all beautiful women were in general, quite useless. Because of this stubborn notion she had, I used to think that my mum considered me a beautiful woman in her heart for the longest time.

Doctor Jisoo pointed out that she previously had, with bare hands, beaten up a gangster till his shoulder joint was dislocated, then once again with bare hands relocated that shoulder joint. We, one after another, professed our utmost confidence in her medical expertise.

Jungkook accompanied us at the entrance of the surgical theatre. My mum clutched my hand tightly, while I patted the back of her hand comfortingly.

After sitting for about ten minutes or so, my mom started to forget about her uneasiness. She first looked at Jungkook and me, her eyes spinning back and forth between the two of us, then she gave a motherly smile. “You see, back when you and Lisa were dating, we didn’t have the time to sit down and chat, instead now……” She paused, then gave a long sigh. “The heavens makes fools of us all.”

I was basically in a frozen state, and I wanted to dig a hole and dive right into it.

Jungkook  smiled, and said, “I wasn’t sensible back then, and didn’t know how to cherish Lisa.”

I couldn’t help but take a stealthy glance at Jungkook. Such a beautiful pleasantry.

My mum chuckled, “That’s not the case, it’s our Lisa who doesn’t have the good fortune.”

Time passed quickly under their fake exchange of pleasantries. Perhaps because it wasn’t a complicated surgery by far, or perhaps it was because of Doctor Jisoo’s excellent medical skills, in any case, the lights of the operating theatre dimmed and Doctor Jisoo came out wearing a mask.

My mum suddenly grabbed my arm again. Her fingernails dug into me till I really wanted to send greetings to my maternal grandmother. (T/N: basically Lisa is cursing)

Doctor Jisoo unhurriedly took off her mask, revealing her upturned corner of her mouth. “The operation was successful.”

My mum let go of my hand and leapt onto her, looking like she wanted to hug and kiss her. Thankfully, all she did was just hold and pull on Doctor Jisoo’s hand, patting it repeatedly. “Thank you so much, thank you so much.”

I was extremely moved and intoxicated by this display of how the miraculous hands of a healer could move the heavens. Jungkook  standing by my side used his elbow to gently bump against me, and spoke softly, “If you don’t pull your mum away soon, Doctor Jisoo’s hand is going to become crippled.”

I took a look. Indeed, there was a large patch on the back of Doctor Jisoo’s hand that had reddened.

I hurriedly went over to pull my mum away. “Mum, you should hurry and see Dad.”

My mum struggled out of my hands and reproached me. “Your dad’s anesthesia hasn’t worn off yet, what is there to look at? I need to thank Doctor Jisoo properly.”

Doctor Jisoo took two steps back and repeatedly waved her hands. “Auntie, don’t be so courteous, this is what I ought to do. I still have a surgery later, I’ll head off first.”

Tsk, a white-clothed person who fled when defeated.

My mum with great disappointment turned towards Jungkook. “Jungkook, thank goodness for you this time..."
