It wasn’t a careful plan, but she didn’t notice it at all.

The professor was likely never suspected of fraud.

If he were to explain, he’d want to say it wasn’t fraud but charting his own destiny.

Tae Hyuk, with a satisfied smile, threw the note into the trash bin.

The transplant surgery that Professor Choi Tae Hyuk was going to perform this time attracted people’s attention due to the relationship between the donor and the recipient.

Most organ transplants are between family members unless they’re organ donations, but this time, unusually, the patient and the donor were a motherinlaw and a daughterinlaw.

On the family register, they were family, but they did not share a drop of blood.

“Would the daughterinlaw willingly give her liver?”
“Perhaps she has no choice. For the sake of family peace.”
“Even if it’s a daughterinlaw’s duty, this is a liver transplant. Isn’t that too much?”
“It’s absurd that only the daughterinlaw’s liver is suitable for transplant in the family.”
People would think that if it were between parents and child, they would readily give their liver out of love, but considering that it’s a naturally conflicting relationship, there was a heated discussion about this surgery among the hepatobiliary pancreatic surgery residents.

“Professor Choi Tae Hyuk is doing the liver transplant, and the donor is a daughterinlaw? Is she the one who said she would have the surgery?”
When Seung Hee from the gastroenterology surgery department asked her, it seemed that this surgery had already become famous in the hospital.

“I’m not exactly sure.”
The one who spoke mostly with the donor was Professor Choi Tae Hyuk.

The residents were curious about what he, known as the viper professor, had said to make the donor agree to the surgery.

Seung Hee shook her head repeatedly, frowning.

“If I were married and something like that happened, I couldn’t do it even if I died.”
It was not a problem that one could blame Seung Hee for being selfish when she said such a thing.

“But Professor Yoon asked about you.”
She paused her coffee drinking for a moment.

“When did your skills catch the eye of a gastroenterology surgery professor?”
Na Young knew well that Professor Yoon wasn’t curious about her for such a reason as Seung Hee thought, but she didn’t let on.

Falling out of favor with other professors because of Professor Choi Tae Hyuk was certainly her loss.

But when he said that he had never dated Yoon Hye Won, Na Young could feel the tight knot in her heart loosening.

Keeping her distance from Professor Choi Tae Hyuk was still a difficult task for her.

She hoped that no more incidents that would shake her would occur.

Because her ordinary daily life was already wavering with what had happened so far.

All Na Young wanted was to safely complete the resident program at Han River University Hospital.

Cha Hyun, who had been on an overseas shoot, reached out to arrange a meeting, but this time I was too busy to meet him.

[Surely he’s not taking revenge because I didn’t drink with him before?] Back then, when Cha Hyun wasn’t in Korea, I had called Oh Seung Jun instead.

“I’m really busy.”
[Did he forget so soon? He had been begging me to find a girl whose name he didn’t even know.] Come to think of it, I hadn’t told Cha Hyun that I had found the girl.

“You don’t have to look for her anymore.”
[What? Did he already meet her?] “Yes.”
[Wow. Is Choi Tae Hyuk finally in a sweet relationship with a girl?] The term relationship and his life really didn’t match well.

His trials had begun from the day he was born.

When others would grow up innocently under their parents, he spent his time most fiercely.

While others enjoyed their youth dating, he was in the hospital, battling with death.

He became a wellrespected doctor in his midthirties, and although he met a girl who moved his heart, his fate did not go smoothly this time either.

“I plan to focus only on hospital work for a while.”
[What kind of response is this? If you don’t know how to date, ask me.] I knew very well how much experience Cha Hyun had with women.

However, even Cha Hyun wouldn’t be able to solve the problem between him and Moon Na Young at the moment.

“Then make me a resident again.”
[What kind of nonsense is this when I told you to date a bit.] He also wanted to date.

If his job wasn’t a doctor, if his position wasn’t a professor, he would have immediately gone to Moon Na Young and asked her to date him.

[If you date a girl, I’ll make sure to get you married.] At Cha Hyun’s words, who was willing to get him married while being a nonmarriage advocate himself, Tae Hyuk laughed.

After hanging up with Cha Hyun, Tae Hyuk checked the message he had received during the call.

It was a message sent by Oh Seung Jun.

Cha Hyun, a friend of 20 years, was supporting his love life, but the punk who was a colleague of over 10 years was only envious of his love life.

Annoyed after reading the message, Tae Hyuk immediately pressed the call button.

As soon as Oh Seung Jun answered the call, Tae Hyuk asked outright.

“Did you just stand by and watch that?”
[No, I cheered him on to make sure to succeed.] “…….”
Is this guy an ally or an enemy?

I had been confused for 14 years.

Na Young was briefing Chief Dong Geon on the order content in the ward.

“The patient had a liver resection surgery, but had a seizure so I used 4 milliliters of Ativan. The test results are…….”
Dong Geon, who was listening to her, seemed surprised as he noticed something.

“Huh? When did Professor Choi become so friendly with the orthopedic surgery resident?”

Na Young, wondering what that meant, turned to look behind.

Professor Choi Tae Hyuk was actually walking down the corridor, arm in arm with a male resident from another department.

What on earth was that overly familiar skinship?

How strange.
