Dream Love : Dream Land - Chapter 178

:: Elysium Land::

Lord Ivan at the time looked in the direction of a white chrysanthemum flower that seemed to wither in his garden at that time. His face was cloudy as he looked in that direction, not blinking at all.

“The Greatest.” Adele, who had just arrived there, said that to announce her arrival.

“Are all of them now on their way to Dream Land?” He asked Adele there. Still with a serious face there. He didn’t even see her.

“Yes. They settled their mission earlier than expected this time. Since they found two twin stones at once, after they reported their findings to King Liam, he immediately instructed them to return to Dream Land first before making the trip here. I feel that he could not wait to see the magical stone with his own eyes.”

Lord Ivan began to walk closer to the dying flower there. To get a closer look.

Adele felt strange with Lord Ivan’s behavior which seemed different today.

“Is there anything wrong?” Adele began to ask.

Lord Ivan, even though he is the ruler of this Elysium Land, because Adele has known him since he was a baby, she thinks of him like her own son there. And she knows, he also feels like it too. Towards her. That is why, if something is wrong, she can feel it.

Lord Ivan was silent at that moment as he began to squat, watching the flower.

“Jieun…” He said the name.

Adele just waited for the man to utter his words.

“She will be facing a hard time again. So I’m glad that she isn’t here yet. I want to see her, but when her feeling is stable enough.” He said that while taking scissors and started cutting the flower. Separate it from other fresh flowers.

Adele is shocked to hear that as she can’t detect anything bad might happen. But, Lord Ivan is gifted to foresee something and feel something much more that no one in Elysium Land can do. Which suited him as a King.

“What exactly would happen if I could ask?”

Lord Ivan opened a long box which had a cloth in it and then placed the flower that he taken earlier in it.

“It’s not happening here, but in another world. The time seems to have come for that person. The person that Aera and I owe a lot to.” Lord Ivan explained.

Adele sighs a little there. Understand what Lord Ivan meant by then. This means not only Jieun but Anna will also definitely have a difficult time after this.

Lord Ivan then closed the box and started looking at Adele there. He now approached the old woman with a slow step.

“Can you take this to Hilleo Village? Please tell elder Susan there to make a funeral once Jieun is there. I know she will return to that village for comfort… Also for the truth.” Lord Ivan handed the box to Adele now.

Adele widened her eyes again.

“You mean? She knows?”

“She’s starting to feel doubt. Also, she’s got clues from our past for so long. It’s just a matter of time now before she accepts everything, before she’s ready to ask.”

Adele now hugged the box tightly. It’s been a long time since Lord Ivan was this saddest. She can only pray that when they meet later, everything will go smoothly.

“Please keep an eye on Jieun for me for a little while longer. I don’t want anything bad to happen to her. But I also can’t be there for her.” Lord Ivan asked there.

Adele, who understood, nodded. She will do that even if it is not a task anyway. Anna, Jieun and Lia, the three of them is special to her. So she gladly carried out the order.

:: In the real world::

Every day Jieun and Melanie would switch shifts taking care of Beom-Soo in the hospital and today it was Melanie’s turn to do so.

“How are you today?” Melanie asks him there as she opens her coat to hang it to the side. She then checks on his blood pressure, heart rate and temperature even though she is not his doctor in this hospital. It’s just her habit as a doctor.

Then she started looking at the patient chart at the end of the bed. To see if something happens when she is not around, but it looks like everything is in normal there.

Melanie then smiled when she was satisfied with her finding.

“Didn’t you sleep too long? The surgery is a success, but why do you still not want to wake up? I know you were in a state of low blood pressure for quite some time and your blood was lost too much at that time. But you’re fine, aren’t you?” Melanie start to say that to him now. Actually, she said that every time she came here. She was unable to get rid of her guilt at the man. He is like this trying to protect her anyway. And because of that, when the man was still like this, she felt scared.

Melanie sighs when she sees no response from the man. She then sat down next to him and was now trying to concentrate on the newspaper she had just bought. That’s what she always does here. Spending time like that while hoping for a miracle that might happen to the man.

But she didn’t know, today is different.

While she was devoutly reading, suddenly,

“Anna…”

Melanie was so shocked when a voice reprimanded her at that moment even making the newspaper she was holding fell to the floor, scattering.

“Oh my God!” Melanie screamed a little there as if not believing what she saw then. Beom-Soo is awake and calls her by her real name.

“You are awake. Let me call for your doctor.” Melanie’s hand tries to reach for the button near the man’s bed but before she can press it, Beom-Soo with his weak hand pulls her hand, stopping her movement.

“What? Wait.”

“I’m glad… I see you here…” Beom-Soo said in a weak tone.

Melanie suddenly froze. Looking at the man’s pale face. He is awake, but seems too weak. She is also a doctor, so she knows what the clues are.

“Wait, Beom-Soo. Let me call for your doctor.” Melanie immediately presses the button to call the doctor who is in charge of taking care of the man.

She then picked up her cell phone and started looking for Jieun’s number. Want to ask her to come to the hospital immediately.

Beom-Soo knows what she is trying to do and pulls the woman’s hand back, make her cell phone fell to the floor.

“What are you doing? I need to call Jieun to come here now.” Melanie started crying there.

“Where’s the doctor? Why he didn’t come?” She then pressed the button again several times.

“Wait, okay. I’m going to find a doctor now.” Feeling restless, Melanie wanted to run out of there, but Beom-Soo with all his might, hold her still there.

“Beom-Soo!”

“Call my name please.” He said it like asking a favor now.

Melanie began to tremble there.

“Alex. Please hold on.” Melanie pleaded.

“Listen Anna… I’m sorry I can’t be with you on this journey anymore.” Beom-Soo said while having difficulty breathing there. ”

I’m sorry I can’t keep my promise to help you and Jieun much longer. My time has come.”

“No! What the heck are you saying?  You just wake up. The surgery is successful. You will be just fine. Please hold on. The doctor is definitely on his way here.” Melanie said that while crying now.

“Both of us know, life and death are not options. We can die at any time. Even in good health… Please… tell Jieun that I’m sorry. Because I lied to her all this time, because I couldn’t take care of her anymore. Still, I’m happy. Because I know a lot of people love her. But, its looks like you need to do the last job alone then. ”

“You can’t do this to her Alex. You can’t do this to me.” Melanie could feel there that the man’s grip on her hand began to stretch.

“I’m glad… I see you last.” He said that before,

Beep… Beep… Beep. Beep. Beep Beep. Beep. Beep… Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep…

The machine that was connected to Beom-Soo at that time that showed his vital started making a loud noise. Melanie who was shocked there started to do CPR on him.

“Come back! Come back!” She said there while making the compressions.

That’s when the doctor who manages Beom-Soo arrives while running with the other assistants.

“Change!” He said to Melanie now and Melanie moved to the side and let the doctor do the CPR.

Seeing no change there, the doctor began to yell at his assistant.

“Charge defibrillators!”

Melanie began to shiver.

“Clear!” The doctor starts now.

Beom-Soo unresponsive body jumping on the bed because of the shock. But still there is no change there.

“Clear!” The doctor said it again. Try very hard to bring him back.

Seeing the step being repeated there making Melanie’s heart hurt more. She knows… he will never return.

“Stop… please…” She finally said there.

The doctor who was now sweating there looked at Melanie. He actually already knew that but refused to give up. But after Melanie said that, he closed his eyes there before making a declaration.

“Patient Lee Beom-Soo… is dead. The time of death is 10.39 a.m.”

Melanie was only able to stiffen.
