On Earth ; In the country Soul :
The entire world was in a state of chaos, all no thanks to the 'so-called death' of the Kim family's last and only heiress.
The entire hospital, all the staff, was preparing their own funeral. Just in case! The most powerful, the richest, the most dangerous person, Mr. Aedion Kim fell to his knees, in despair and resentment.
When the most elegant and noble lady lost all her hopes and charm. When it seemed like it was the end of the world for them, for The Kim Family.
A miracle occured.
A beautiful angel, covered with lots of burns, wounds and injuries of that horrific nightmare, which took place, not just a few moments earlier.
A girl who used to be more beautiful than angels of heaven, who used to be more cute than puppies, who used to be more innocent then the dewy flowers, a girl who has lost her breathing, her life, her everything, finally breathed heavily.
Since, the room was filled with pin drop silence. Her heavy breath was clearly heard by the doctors. Who, till now, have lost the meaning of their existence. And have fallen in the pit of despair.
It was a nurse who first spotted it. The rest of the squad followed the pursuit. And, as if the tragedy had just occurred, the entire room, as well as the entire staff, was infused with a sense of urgency.
Earlier; Aedion and Sarah Aedion Kim, who were drowning in their own world of despair, outside the operation theater. They saw the chaos happening in front of them. Within fifteen minutes, many doctors were running inside-out of the room.
All the nurses and ward boys were busy carrying different types of equipment, machines, blood bottles, many infusion bottles and many other necessary materials.
They didn't know what to say, or what to expect. After all, even the Gods couldn't save their daughter from that horrible accident. They knew the harsh reality.
So... Just what exactly was happening!
Soon a doctor, who seemed to be in a hurry, came out of the room. And since, Aedion and Sarah were highly anxious with the hospital's behaviour. They couldn't help but stop the doctor, queried out their voice.
When the doctor saw Mr. Aedion Kim, the Patriarch of the Kim Family with his wife, Mrs. Sarah Kim, in such a dire state. He couldn't help but pause his moments. He then ordered the passing wardboy to bring the things, which neither Aedion nor Sarah understood.
The wardboy nodded and left. Only then did the doctor relax a little. He turned towards these two legends and spoke, "Mr & Mrs Kim. Your daughter is a warrior. She didn't give up. And as a doctor, we will try our best to help her win this battle against death. Now, please excuse me."
After informing them, he went back to the Operation theater. And Mrs. Sarah Kim, who till now was holding herself, while bracing herself to prepare for the worst, felt like all her energy got drained out, she felt like someone or something sucked the living lights out of her body, making her crouched down to the ground, falling on her knees.
Before she even knew it, the tears started flowing down from her beautiful eyes. For the first time since she found Aedion, or fell in love with him or got married to him, she had cried like a child. It felt as if she had been given a second chance by life itself.
Only one line echoing in her system, 'Her daughter, her Aelin, her princess, her angel didn't give up. She is still fighting her battle with death, itself.'
As for the high and mighty Mr. Aedion Kim. He wasn't any better. When he heard that his daughter didn't give up. Even his eyes welled up with tears, which were threatening to fall. But he held them.
Naah!!! He is his daughter's superhero. How could he cry! It should be him, saving her. But in their case, she saved him. His angel, his princess saved him and the entire Kim Family.
He recalled her words, 'No matter what, I won't give up. Even if heaven defies, even if hell goes loose. I won't give up.'
At that time, he just gave a gentle smile to her. As she was fighting for her favourite toy. A toy! But who would have thought, she would fight the same way for her life, for her breaths, for her survival too.
But today, her words were echoing louder and louder in his brain. Yes. She didn't give up. Be it that toy, or her life. She didn't give up. And a smile finds its place in Mr. Kim's face. A smile, which was reaching from ear to ear.
He saw his wife crying like a child, while kneeling to the ground, then he leaned down a bit and hugged her tightly from the back. Yes. As Aelin's superhero. As Sarah's knight in shining armour, he should protect them, from every danger, from every problem, from everything.
He was going to protect his heartbeat and his lifeline; aka his Queen and his princess.
No matter what, he won't let anything or anyone harm them again. He is their superhero. And he will protect them at all cost, he won't let anything or anyone hurt them. There was strong determination in his eyes.
And he started comforting his wife. While rubbing her back. If today, his daughter had… given up. He knew that he would have lost his wife, too. [ A wife, who was a mother as well.]
~~
After a constant struggle of 48 hours. The life of Miss Aelin Kim was rescued successfully by the doctors.
Her parents kept on staring at her, from the little window. But, Naah, she was hellbound to survive in this fight. She didn't give up. She fought the battle of life and death till the end. And she won the battle.
They saw how she was fully covered with bandages. But despite everything, she didn't give up.
The doctors finally heaved a great sigh of relief. And then went out of the room, to give the good news to This Hellbounder's family.
They could have swore on their entire medical profession, that they hadn't seen such a daring and audacious patient in their entire life.
No matter how much pain she suffered, no matter how many problems she faced, how many complications took place, she just didn't stop her fight.
It felt as if this was the effect of the bloodline she carries; The Great Kim Bloodline.
Then the patient got shifted from the OT to the VIP room of the hospital.
When the parents of the patient saw all the Doctors coming outside, their hearts reached their throats. There was that dreadful, terrifying feeling, of that, they would hear something , they didn't want to.
"Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Kim. The patient's life is out of danger. And she is safe. But…" The head doctor explained the situation, and paused.
"Doctor, what is it?" Sarah Kim asked in a mere whisper. Her worry, her fear, her concern, her tension clearly visible in her tone and persona. As if the current wife of The Patriarch Aedion Kim, that Queenly, royal, and dignified person, the entire Soul knew about, wasn't this woman.
As if the woman who ruled over the country Soul's land with superior most aura wasn't her.
"No doubt she is a great fighter, who fought death. But, the fire had taken its toll on her body. Her entire body, from head to toe, is ruined. She is no less than a monster, at present, on the basis of appearance."
"It will take at least 2-3 years, with the method of skin grafting and natural body healing,at the latest to recover her appearance."
"Plus, all no thanks to this accident. She has lost her body's immunity factor. So, now she is more prone to infections and diseases, which could lead her to her death, too."
"Not to mention the physical and psychological pain she has to go through for the rest of her life. The pain of burning is something we can't even imagine, which she has to bear. She might lose her self-confidence, too. In short, you have to take more special care of Miss Kim in the future." The head doctor finished.
And there was pin drop silence, which swallowed the corridor area.
