"Let's all take a seat and calm down. Everly might be unconscious but she must be listening. Let her have a peaceful sleep." Director Jackson commented.They then took a seat on the long wooden chair available in the room. It's located near the door, so it's a little bit further from where Everly is."Okay, Mary, explain everything from the beginning." Director Jackson commanded when all of them were properly seated.Mary made a gulp and exhaled deeply. Her fingers rested on her lap with her eyes lowered. She can't dare to look at them, especially at Manager Kim."Speak up already!" Manager Kim raggedly said.This made Mary jerk in her seat. Director Jackson patted Manager Kim's back, soothing her anger."Let her take her time. This must have been hard for her as well. Be more understanding, Manager Kim.""Be more understanding? If she had only stopped Everly, this would not have happened!" she angrily retorted."Julia Kim, nothing will still change even if you blame Mary. Do you thin
Manager Kim rushed to the medical camp. Her eyes were bloodshot red with her fist clenched tightly.All the way from the village to the camp, her mind was filled with anger. She really can't accept how ridiculous their situation is."Where is that suicidal patient?" she asked the nurse immediately.She's trying to control the riling emotions in her. She doesn't want to startle the nurse in front of her.The female nurse got startled by her sudden appearance. "You were that person who came here earlier right?"She also saw this lady a while ago together with a man. They were looking for Everly Park so she remembered her clearly.Manager Kim just nodded. "So, where is that patient?" she's getting impatient here."I'm sorry, who was it again? That patient you were looking for?" the female nurse curiously asked."That patient who consistently tried to kill herself. Where is she?" her voice darkened as she put emphasis on her words.The female nurse finally got the patient she was looking
Dr. Lee was startled when he heard the sarcastic tone of Manager Lee. He didn't know why she said that.When they met before at Luther City, Manager Kim was so polite and respectful to him so why did she change now? Did he do something wrong? No matter how hard he thinks, he really doesn't have any idea what caused her to be angry.However, he also can't let her hurt Aila again. She is already in a vulnerable state. Another stimulation might be dangerous for her."Manager Kim, why did you slap Ms. Aila? Can't you see that she's already in this state?" he asked her once again.Manager Kim rolled her eyes at him. "Why should I care about her condition? She deserved it!"Dr. Lee looked at her disapprovingly. "What do you mean by that Manager Kim? Ms. Aila didn't do anything wrong to you. In fact, it's you who did something to her."Two people arrived at the scene as well. It was Director Jackson and Mary. They both went to where Manager Kim is.Director Jackson also saw the sickly patien
"Did she just say that Everly's in the comatose stage?" Dr. Han muttered softly. His brain is still processing the information blurted out by Manager Kim.No one answered him. Silence broke through the entire area. Manager Kim had already walked out without giving them a single glance.Dr. Lee stood rooted in his spot. Regret is what he's feeling right now. He didn't know what to do at this time."Hans" Dr. Han called him.Dr. Lee didn't look at him but replied. "What happened to Everly?" He wanted to make sure that it was not only him who heard about it.Dr. Han glanced at his friend whose head was lowered down. Just looking at Dr. Lee, he can't help but feel sympathy towards him. He knows that he is already blaming himself. He, too, is blaming himself."She's in coma, Hans. I think that's the real reason why she has not been visiting us for the past few days."He was already suspecting it. From the 2 days he talked with Everly, he was sure that she was the type of person who would h
In the large black and white living room, the floors were covered with beige tiles, a large red carpet was laid neatly and there were complicated Begonia patterns engraved on the walls.The large Smart TV was placed exquisitely on the wall and it can be seen directly that it's a newly bought one. Including all the furniture, from the sofa to the cabinets, to the tea table, up to the large mesh curtains hanging on the window."Lady Song, everything has already arrived." An elderly man dressed in a black formal suit, with a bow tie on his neck, respectfully said to the young woman in front.The woman nodded slowly. "Butler Kang, kindly tell the maids to get those large boxes in the basement here. Tell them to hurry.""Right away, Lady Song"After Butler Kang left, the lady, named Louisse Song, sat on the one-seater sofa, with her legs crossed elegantly at each other.Her straight long blonde hair gently cascaded down to her waist. Her rounded eyes and long eyelashes perfectly compliment
"Hans, are you okay?" Dr. Han worriedly asked.Dr. Lee just nodded and stared in front again.Since the day Everly left the village, his friend had been abnormally quiet the whole time. If there's no patient, he would catch him staring blankly at the sky.He, too, was distraught about what happened. He felt so ashamed of what he did to them. If only he had known Everly's condition beforehand, he would have been the very first one who would stop her.He is too ashamed to see Everly again. Recalling how he spoke to her manager and also to Mary, he wanted to smack his head so hard. He finally understood why they were so angry at the patient.Regarding Aila's condition, since the day she was slapped by Manager Kim, her attempts at killing herself vanished. Although she's still not in the right condition to socialize or talk with others, her suicidal attempts were gone. Which is a very big improvement.A month had already passed since the day they arrived in the village.They were supposed
"How is she, Dr. Tan?" Manager Kim worriedly asked."There's still no improvements to her condition." Dr. Tan replied.In his old years of being a doctor, he never once encountered this type of illness. He was also the doctor who checked Everly in the past when she fell into a coma for the first time.When she woke up before, he couldn't personally say that it was because of his treatment. It was just pure luck if you ask him.For years, he had been studying why drawing out blood from her system causes her to be in a coma. However, it was only he who knew about it.Since it's a very rare case, he made sure that his research wouldn't be discovered by anyone. Or else, it would be dangerous for the patient. Especially since she's a public figure. Her life won't be the same again once her condition is out."Manager Kim, I already warned you before. As much as possible, don't let her do anything willfully." He said as he looked at Manager Kim.When he first checked her condition in the pas
Dr. Lee went back to his usual work. Doing surgery, doing check-ups, and doing his usual rounds in the hospital.For this day, he had already finished two major surgeries earlier in the day. The first one was heart bypass surgery for a man in his mid-thirties, while the other was gallbladder removal.He had been so busy. He didn't even have time to eat his lunch due to his busy schedule."Dr. Lee, your next appointment is still at 4:40 pm." the nurse said when the patient went out.Dr. Lee is in his office, doing a check-up. He glanced at his watch and it was already past 2 pm already. "Alright, I got it." He stood up and turned his computer off."Are you going to have your meal now, doctor? It's already past lunch, you have to eat something.""I'm good. I still have to go to the pediatric department. Call me if there's an emergency."With his unhurried steps, he went to the children's ward. He will be visiting Diane.It's already been a long time since the last time he saw that child
Today is finally Everly’s most awaited concert. Although the performance will start at 6 pm, people were already lining up in the concert hall since early in the morning. It was an overwhelming crowd.Fans were bringing banners and light sticks to show support for their idol. Even if Everly was just new to the industry, she was highly anticipated by people. Not just because of her elegant and pretty face but also in her music.People loved all the songs she released. Even the debut song she sang during Manager Kim’s wedding, brought her millions of views on every social platform. With that, she was branded as the new pop sensation in the music industry.Backstage, Everly and her team were already starting their preparation. Manager Kim was so busy doing errands. She wanted to make sure that nothing wrong will happen for today’s concert. She doesn’t know why but she doesn’t want anything wrong to happen with her concert.“Iris! We will be starting in a few hours. Are you ready?” Manage
Afternoon came and Hans went ahead to his scheduled appointment. Jonathan messaged him that he was already on his way to the mall that’s why he bid farewell to Everly and went on his way.Everly’s concert hall and the mall are only a few blocks away so Hans managed to arrive there earlier than Jonathan. He waited at one of the coffee shops on the second floor of the mall.It didn’t take long for Jonathan to arrive. he ordered some drinks for himself as well and sat down on the seat in front of Hans. “So, why do you want us to meet here? Are you going to buy something?”Hans nodded, “Yes, I need your help with something.”“What is it?”“I’m planning to do a surprise proposal to Iris at her concert,” Hans said with pride. He had been thinking about it for so long already. There are already a lot of things that had happened between us.They had already been separated by death twice already and a lot of unrealistic things had already transpired in their story. They encountered problems an
For the last 2 weeks, Everly had been constantly busy. Most of the time, she would leave before the sun rises and comes back when the sun was down. Even if she and Hans stayed under the same roof, they rarely spent time together due to her busy schedule.Hans understood it clearly. After all, it’s Everly’s passion and he was fully supporting it. Currently, it’s the weekend and of course, Everly was not at home but instead at the concert hall since she had another rehearsal.Her first ever concert is about to happen in 3 days so her schedule is pretty hectic. She was even busier than Hans who was a doctor.Speaking of Hans, he was left alone in their villa. He doesn’t have any work schedule for this day. Aside from that, he has a plan later on that’s why he stayed home.Later at lunch, he will go to Everly’s workplace to send her some homemade lunch and then in the afternoon, he will be meeting Jonathan at the mall. He needed his help with something important. It’s a surprise he will b
Hans was so surprised to see Everly in his office at that moment. “Hey, I thought you were busy today with your concert?” He walked closer and took the cake into her hands.Everly smiled brightly at him and kissed him on the cheeks, “No matter how busy I am. You are always my priority. So, congratulations on your promotion Dr. Lee— I mean, Director Lee.”“Thank you! Thank you for coming. I really appreciate it.” Hans took her to the couch where Jonathan was looking at them with a deep frown on his face. “Guys, a little consideration please?… "Hans just laughed at him, “You have a wife on your own. I’m sure you two were more PDA than us.”Jonathan looked at him in disbelief. He turned his head towards Everly with a baffled look, “Iris, is this really my friend?… I’m sure the Hans I’ve known for so many years wouldn’t say such things.”Everly just chuckled lightly before answering, “I’m not quite sure myself. I also get surprised sometimes.”Jonathan shook his head and looked at Hans w
Months have passed by since Everly’s return and everything went as normal as possible. Director Jackson and Manager Kim had already come back from their honeymoon trip and went back to their respective works.Mary also decided to open a shop for her to pass the time. Her mother, Mrs. Watson was helping her in managing it. Jonathan was also in full support of his wife’s business. It was a cafe and Mary found a very promising location which is located near the hospital. Manager Kim helped her in acquiring that land.Currently, the shop was still under renovation and it will officially open its doors in a couple of weeks. On the other hand, Director Han, Jonathan’s father decided to resign from his work and wanted to enjoy the rest of his life leisurely.A lot of people disagreed with his sudden retirement but he was stubborn and firm in his decision. He said that he also wants to spend more time with his granddaughter and be with her as she grows up. After all, he had never gotten to do
The wedding reception has come to an end. Director Jackson and Manager Kim were now off on their honeymoon trip directly. They chose to spend their honeymoon abroad where they will be traveling from country to country to visit lots of places. They rarely spent a vacation due to the nature of their work that’s why President Song gave them this special wedding gift. A 3 weeks vacation and 5 plane tickets that they could use to whatever country they want to visit. He was very generous to them. At the airport, only Jonathan and Mary came. David went home right after the ceremony while Mrs. Watson went home as well together with Maverick. She brought with her baby Everly since it was already past her bedtime. “By the way, where is Hans?… Did he go home early? I didn’t see him right after he made his congratulatory speech.” Director Jackson confusedly, “Weren’t you together with him at the wedding hall?” Jonathan smirked, “He run away from who knows where dragging a woman with him.” “Ru
The hour that everyone was waiting for has finally come. All the guests, friends, and families were already gathered at the wedding hall, waiting for the groom and bride to make their entrance.The venue is located in a private garden owned by President Song, the CEO of the company where both Director Jackson and Manager Kim were working. The theme of the wedding is white and blue. White flowers with artificial blue-colored roses were elegantly arranged around the place.A large white grand piano was placed on the stage. Everyone was so excited about this day. Jonathan, David, and Hans were seated in the front row together with Mary, Mrs. Watson, and Maverick. All of them were dressed according to the theme. All of them were dressed in different shades of blue.When the wedding planner signaled, the wedding was about to begin. The singer was also being escorted to the stage. All eyes were on her, some were amused, excited, confused, and a lot more reactions. After all, she was a nobod
Jonathan booked a private hotel room at one of the most exclusive hotels in the city, The Ridgepole Hotel. It was not easy to book a room in this hotel since it needs membership. And there are a lot of criteria to be a member of this hotel.He was not the one who was a member of it but his father. Since it’s a special occasion for Director Jackson, he asks for his membership card to be able to book a room.As the time run so fast, it was already 8 in the evening. It’s the time he set for them to arrive. Jonathan has already arrived earlier than the rest of them. He ordered food and drinks for them.Not a moment later, Hans arrived as well. Then followed by Director Jackson. It was a very private and small celebration but it was enough for everyone.“So, how was the singer Manager Kim told you about? Did you meet her?” Jonathan asked as he served the canned beers he bought earlier.Director Jackson took one and opened it. He drank a mouthful before answering, “Yes. I met her earlier th
5 days had already passed since Hans got discharged from the hospital. Jonathan and Director Jackson scolded him so hard after he had woken up. Fortunately, nothing wrong came out from his test results so he got discharged immediately.After that short encounter he had with Everly, he didn’t know whether it was a dream or reality. When he woke up, it was like what he had experienced was a total dream. But it felt surreal and his memory of her was completely encrypted in his mind.He knew it wasn’t a dream. He had already talked with Everly to the other dimension. Hans even tried to ask Jonathan and Director Jackson if they knew someone named Everly but they did not know anyone.So, Hans didn’t push that topic and just let it be. Since it was Everly’s wish and sacrifice, he would respect it. It’s okay if she has been forgotten by everyone in the world, as long he still remembered her, it’s more than enough.“Dr. Lee, you have a call from from Dr. Hans.” his secretary said. Hans was cur
