Love Him For Me

Chapter 24- Against all odds

Jiyong was in the middle of the stage giving last minute instructions to everyone as to the flow and sequence of the concert. Behind him were men and technicians setting up lifts as effects for the concert later. Two men were steadying a metal lift when suddenly one of the lines holding it  snapped causing the metal to swing forward. Before everyone including Jiyong could react, the metal hit Jiyong straight in the head and shoulders.
All the other artists shouted and were shocked at what just happened.

PRESENT TIME

As soon as they reached the Operating Room. As she prepare for the operation, Dara tried to clear her head. Jiyong needs her now as a doctor. She need to get herself together.

When she gets near the operatiang table, an elderly man entered and one of the nurses was surprised and exclaimed,

"Oh, Dr. Song!"

Dara looked at the old man and thought how familiar he looked. Then with such authority, the man approached the unconscious Jiyong and without looking at her, he said

"Status?" The elderly doctor said from behind the mask.

Dara then racks her brain for something to say. He must be the surgeon she requested. As she was giving her upates, the doctor started operating on Jiyong. She was mesmerized at how skillful this doctor is.

All Dara did was to assist the older doctor. She's very thankful he was there as she wouldn't know what to do. The operation lasted for about four hours and by the time they finished, Dara was exhausted. She was inside the washroom when one of the nurses came to see her.

"Dr. Song is asking for you in his office." The nurse told her a little worried.

Dara catch the anxiety of the nurse so she asked, "Dr. Song?" She asked worriedly. The same doctor who performed the operation on Jiyong? "Why, is something wrong with the patient we just operated on?" She asked a little in panic.

"No. He just said to tell you to meet him in his office immediately." The nurse said.

Dara removed her gown and ran all the way to the elevator. The exhaustion she felt a while ago seemed to vanish. What if something has gone wrong? What if something bad will happen to Jiyong? No. She can't think negative thoughts now.

She was told his office is at the seventh floor. Well, she's never been on that floor and most of the doctors' offices are on the third or fourth floor. As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she was surprised when she found herself in a very spacious office.  When she read the sign, it says: This way to the President's office.

"Omo!" She gasped. She was about to turn around thinking she went to the wrong floor when the girl behind the desk called her.

"Ms. Park?" The lady called out.

She turned around to see the nice looking lady  smiling at her.

"Ms. Park? The president is waiting for you." The lady told her again.

Dara just smiled at her. At the back of her mind, she's already in panic mode.

Why was she called in the president's office? She tried to recall anything she might have done to be called here but she couldn't think of anything.

The  lady then led her towards a huge door.

"Dr. Song is waiting for you inside." The lady said still smiling.

Is she always this smiling? Dara thought. It's bordering to being creepy.

As the lady opens the door, Dara felt nervous.
