Dr. Bai got curious, 'Let's see who is this famous Dr. Wang's sibling,' and looked in that direction. She squinted her eyes and observed the side profile of the girl. When she saw the more part of that girl's face, Dr. Bai widened her eyes with surprise, "Qin Su Ryeon?" and took a step forward in that direction…
'Attention! GS department, code blue! GS department code blue!'
The announcement was made right at that moment. "Ahh! But I want to meet Su Ryeon!" she complained and went to the emergency ward.
...
"Excuse me, are you Dr. Wang's sister?" the man asked the short girl in front of him. Su Yeon turned around and smiled, "Yes I am. Who are…"
"Can you please pass on my message to Dr. Wang that my daughter Dan Ji has woken up without any problems, the heart transplant was a success and-"
"Hold on! Are you perhaps Mr. Wei?"
"Yes! How do you know?"
"Woah, congratulations!! And why are you telling me to pass on the message? Wait, let's call him, I think he must be done with his meetings," Su Yeon beamed in happiness. Wang Lufan had once told her about this person Mr. Wei, who was on the verge of losing both his daughter and wife.
She randomly walked through the corridors, took him to the backside garden area, and called Brother Lufan, "Hello! Brother Lufan, are you busy?"
"Hello, no I am not, what happened?" a tired and somewhat sad voice replied from the other side.
Su Yeon caught his situation, she knew how much he must be missing this hospital and work. She said, "I have a surprise for you, can I switch to video call?"
"Ok"
Su Yeon changed the mode to video call and asked Mr. Wei to stand beside her. Soon the call connected and Su Yeon said, "See who is here with me," and gave the phone to Mr. Wei.
"Mr. Wei!" Wang Lufan widened his eyes.
Mr. Wei who was happy till now started crying suddenly, instead of sharing the news.
Lufan replied "Mr. Wei, please don't cry, I am happy that our Dan Ji is out of danger now, I told you to trust Dr. Song Hao, he is best in his work. Now Dan Ji can live like every other child, but for that, you both have to stay happy!"
Mr. Wei stopped crying and replied while bowing his head, "Thank you, doctor, thank you so much. I got my world back because of you, and I will be forever grateful for that. H-How can I repay this debt?"
"Mr. Wei, it's my duty. Dr. Song has already sent me the reports, sorry I couldn't call you back then. If possible, I would like to meet Dan Ji once when I will come back, can you bring her?"
"Of course! Instead, my wife was telling me to bring you our home, we would like to treat a meal."
"Ohh, no that's not necessary, just visit me once whenever you come for her regular check-up."
"Thank you so much doctor, I-I don't know what would have happened in my life."
"Mr. Wei, don't say such words now. Unfortunately, I have to hang up right now, extremely sorry for that. Can you please pass the phone to my sister?"
"Oh yes, please come back as soon as possible, and best luck with your exams," he handed over the phone to Su Yeon.
"Brother Lufan,"
"What are you doing there?"
"I came with Ming, there I met Mr. Wei,"
"Ok, bye then, I have to go,"
"Okayyee, bye"
"...Little one"
"What?"
Lufan sighed and replied with a smile, "Thanks."
Su Yeon winked at him and hung up the call. Mr. Wei said, "Thank you so much, Miss Wang." Su Yeon laughed, "Oh, actually we are not siblings. We are like family friends, well I would love to have an elder brother like him though."
Mr. Wei then bid farewell and Su Yeon called Ming. Ming was waiting for her in the reception area.
Su Yeon realized that earlier, in excitement she came here in the garden since it was a quiet place. "Ah, now where will be the exit?" and looked for the way out.
"Where do you want to go?" a mellow sweet voice said from behind. Su Yeon turned around and saw a female doctor standing straight with hands in pockets and a sweet smile on her face. She was the same lady she had seen earlier in the emergency ward. She took a glance at her ID card,
Dr. Bai Xiu Ying
Chief Surgeon, General Surgery Department
Su Yeon said, "Ah, Doctor, actually I want to go to the reception area, can you please help me?"
Dr. Bai smiled, "Sure, this-" she paused and pulled her hand down which was going to point towards the way, and continued, "Follow me." Su Yeon nodded and started following her.
"Are you Dr. Wang's younger sibling?" Dr. Bai asked and controlled her excitement. "Ah, no-no, we are family friends, so Brother Lufan treats me like his younger sister."
Dr. Bai stopped abruptly, 'Did she just say Lufan? So his full name is... Wang Lufan?'
"What happened doctor?" Su Yeon was startled when Dr. Bai suddenly stopped her tracks. "Huh? Nothing, I-I just remember someone with the same name… Wang Lufan," and continued walking.
When the reception area was a just door away, Dr. Bai asked, "If you don't mind, may I know your name?" Su Yeon replied, "Yes, of course, I am Yoon Su Yeon."
Dr. Bai couldn't take her eyes off Su Yeon's face, 'She looks just like her!' and without thinking, she asked, "Do you know Qin Su Ryeon?"
Su Yeon was surprised, "Oh! How do you know my mother?" Dr. Bai couldn't believe what she heard just now. Her eyes started becoming wet due to happiness.
"Su Yeon ah," Ming came in front of them. Su Yeon bid farewell to Dr. Bai, "Ah, sorry I have to go. Nice to meet you doctor and thank you. Have a good day then, bye." Dr. Bai nodded and waved at her. She was looking at the small departing back till it vanished.
Dr. Bai smiled to herself and went inside while reminiscing the memories.
…
Dr. Bai came home late at night. She saw that the living room lights were still on and the typing sound could be heard clearly. "Why Mr. Handsome Lawyer is still awake?" and sat beside the man.
The man was almost of the same age, yet he too had a decisive appearance. His well-maintained physique and handsome face were notable, but the most decisive features were his eyes and smile, which were perfect for his profession. "Freshen up first till I place the dinner," he ruffled her hair. Dr. Bai nodded and went upstairs.
When she came down, she saw her husband was waiting for her. She sat and smelled the aroma of the dishes placed on the dining table."
"Why this beautiful lady seem happy today? Aren't you tired?" Mr. Li asked while placing the dishes in front of her. Dr. Bai sipped a spoonful of soup first and moaned, "Today is indeed a good day for me."
She placed down the spoon and said, "Today, I saw a girl who looked exactly like my little Su Ryeon! Wait, you remember my childhood little friend, right?"
She continued when Mr. Li nodded with a smile, "But just then an emergency came. Fortunately, I found that girl later, that poor child forgot the way out. So I helped her-"
Mr. Li raised his brows and interrupted, "To be precise, you took her to the exit instead of showing the way so that you would get to know her, am I correct Dr. Beauty?"
Dr. Bai scoffed, "Don't show off your professional skills! Well, you are indeed right. Where was I? Right, so that girl's name was Yoon Su Yeon. I don't know what came to my mind but I asked her directly about my Su Ryeon and… and it turns out that she was her daughter! Why didn't think of that possibility! Su Yeon is a replica of her mother!"
Mr. Li laughed at his wife's childish behavior. He asked, "So when you are planning to visit your friend?"
Dr. Bai was eating simultaneously. While picking the shrimp she replied, "I… Oh no!" she paused, "I forgot to take the contact number."
Mr. Li shook his head, "It's ok, you can ask the receptionist to give her number or maybe you can see her tomorrow, she might have come as someone's guardian." Dr. Bai nodded, "You are right, she is the sister of the chief resident in my department…" and paused.
"What happened?" Mr. Li got confused. He saw the series of complicated expressions on her face.
Dr. Bai said in a low voice, "That chief resident's name is-- Dr. Wang Lufan. I haven't seen him till now as he went on leave for the exams but… I-I am somehow getting the feeling that he is the same Lufan we know," her eyes teared up.
Hearing the familiar name, Mr. Li got serious. He mocked their situation, "Should we be happy… or sad or ignorant… if nothing had happened, we would be celebrating his success of becoming the doctor, right?"
Dr. Bai wiped her tears and joined with a chuckle, "and their constant bickering would have started in no time, and ended up on a basketball match. Sweetheart, if this doctor would indeed be our Lufan, how am I supposed to interact with him?"
Mr. Li folded his hands, "As far as I know, he would try avoiding that topic, he knows how to keep things separately better, even if… even if he behaved unexpectedly that day-"
Dr. Bai interrupted, "And I will be forever grateful for that," and closed her eyes. Mr. Li said, "Ultimately, they were close friends... Let's talk about it later, first finish your meal." Dr. Bai nodded and resumed eating while reminiscing those happy memories.
After dinner, when they both came into their room Mr. Li thought about something and asked, "You said that her name is 'YOON' Su Yeon?" Dr. Bai who was applying lotion nodded and asked, "Yes why?" but before she could turn around to look at her husband, a realization hit her, "Wait! You mean…"
Mr. Li nodded, "I still remember how you and Father were trying to convince Qin Su Ryeon not to marry some 'Yoon' guy and suggesting someone else, someone Song-"
"No way!" Dr. Bai denied, "This could have some other Mr. Yoon. She wouldn't marry that narrow-minded Yoon guy even after we convinced her so much."
Mr. Li shrugged his shoulders, "Right, it is possible. But why you were insisting on her so much?" Dr. Bai creased her forehead, "When we came to know that she likes a guy, Dad and I decided to meet him just like some strangers. We have seen how narrow-minded and arrogant Mr. Yoon was. Su Ryeon was a very smart and talented kid, her all talents would have been wasted and rotten till death if she had married to that man."
