Part 35

Thursday

A nurse came into the room before Xero, or Yano did. She looked a little alarmed. "Mrs. Jin, your husband just left the hospital. Is everything alright?"

I didn't want to answer her, so I sat in my spot and stared at my hands. "How much more time do I have until the surgery?" I asked her. She looked at a clock hanging on the wall. "Not very long, miss."

"Well, I'm ready when the doctor is, seeing how nobody will be in the surgery room with me,"I said with as much effort as I could.

Then someone ran through the door behind the nurse. He looked in a hurry and had his hood up so I couldn't see him.

"Am I too late?" He shouted at the nurse.

She leaned back and squeezed herself against the door. "Who are you? I don't believe you're supposed to be in here," she said.

The man quickly pulled his hood down. "I'm here for Mrs. Jin Hyein," he said.

Then I recognized the voice. "Byung Joo?" I asked under my breath.

Byung Joo turned and ran to me, giving me a giant hug. "I'm here. I'll go through the surgery with you."

I wanted to cry and I felt like I should've, but I didn't. I smiled happily and thanked him.

The nurse took him to get his blue scrubs on. When she came back, she came with a few more nurses. They took me to the surgery room with Byung Joo following.

I was extremely nervous, but somehow was able to contain myself. It must be in the drugs they gave me.

The doctor greeted me and Byung Joo. Then I was moved to the operating table. It felt sort of cold. Byung Joo was given a chair to sit down next to me.

A blue tarp went between my stomach and my face do I couldn't see what was happening. I was still able to keep my hands above my head so that Byung Joo could squeeze my hand when it started to hurt.

They yanked and pulled at me and I knew I wasn't supposed to feel it, but it hurt. It hurt so bad. I started cry and I squeezed as tightly as I could on Byung Joo's hand. He wiped the tears off my face and told me it was all going to be okay.

Not too soon later, I heard the loud cry of a baby. My baby. That's the cry of little Emilia.

Another tear streaked down my face. I stroked Byung Joo's hand with my thumb. For once, I wasn't crying because of pain. I was crying because of happiness.

It's an overwhelming feeling and I love it. It doesn't last long though.

The doctor continues tugging and pulling at me. It hurts and I'm filled with pain all over again.

Then I hear complete silence and the nurses rush towards the doctors end. They give Emilia to Byung Joo quickly.

She looked beautiful, but disgusting at the same time. She was still covered in disgusting goo and was still crying. They didn't even give Byung Joo a blanket.

"Oh, Emilia," I called out her name and tickled the bottom of her foot. She stopped crying for a few seconds.

Then through the corner of my eye, I saw my dead baby in a nurses arms. She was cleaning the little girl off and holding her in a blanket.

It was strange watching the baby lay still. I wish I could hear her scream and cry like Emilia did. It was as if a stone fell on my heart crushed it. They laid my dead daughter down in crib, then came back for Emilia.

They took Emilia and cleaned her off as well.

Byung Joo didn't move from my side and I was thankful for that. If it wasn't for him, I may have completely lost any sanity I was holding onto.
