When Your Pain Becomes Mine - Chapter 173

***

The inside of the operation room was chilled.

Gyeonhui, who was lying on the bed for the blood transfer, looked at Sun steadily.

Her face looked so cold and as pale as ashes. Gyeonhui reached out his hand to her, but he couldn’t touch her. His hand crossed the air for no purpose, and soon it just dropped.

“It’s going to hurt.”

The nurse put a thick needle in Gyeonhui’s arm.

He felt a throbbing pain, but he was only looking at Sun.

‘What have I done to her…’ Gyeonhui questioned himself.

The effort that he thought was love for her ended up crushing her down.

‘Why did I go to the CEO of DNBM behind her back?’

‘What if I hadn’t left her, would she have been fine?’

His effort to get revenge had ruined everything that he cared about, including himself.

He started regretting endlessly.

Gyeonhui held a fist while closing his eyes tightly.

He only had one thought in his mind. He had to save her. The only thing that he could do for her now was to clench his fists with all his might.

After a while, his blood started flowing in the plastic pipe to go to her.

“Make yourself comfortable here, please.”

When the nurse led Gyeonhui into a room, she soon left there.

He was lying on the bed, and he soon slowly stood up to sit. Perhaps it was because he had lost a lot of blood for the surgery, he started feeling dizzy.

“Mr. Woo!”

At that moment, the room door opened, and his private doctor, Dr. Seo, came into the room. He must have heard about Gyeonhui from Ojae.

“Are you okay? Are you injured?”

Hearing his rapid-fire questions, Gyeonhui nodded. “I’m okay.”

However, Dr. Seo didn’t look like he was relieved. He checked on Gyeonhui’s pupils and his whole body condition.

Gyeonhui’s face was all beat up, but there was no significant injury on his body, so Dr. Seo finally exhaled a sigh of relief.

“You were so lucky. I can’t believe she was kidnapped… I’m sorry.” Dr. Seo said while clicking his tongue.

“By the way, I heard that you’ve given your blood to her.”

Hearing Dr. Seo, Gyeonhui nodded again.

“Hmm…” Dr. Seo also sighed nervously.

Dr. Seo and Gyeonhui didn’t talk much, but both knew what the blood transfer meant to them.

“Do you think… I won’t be able to feel her pain anymore?”

“Well… We have to wait and see…” Gyeonhui clenched his teeth while closing his eyes tightly.

“Wait.” Gyeonhui struggled to stand up from the bed.

He went into the restroom that was in his room and looked at himself in the mirror. After a moment, he seemed to have made a firm decision. He started unbuttoning his shirt. Soon his hard chest and his silky skinned upper body were revealed.

However, looking in the mirror, his face soon hardened. Because the flower pattern that was on his chest was gone entirely. As fast as the design had shown up, it was gone for no reason all of a sudden, and now, there was no trace of it. It completely disappeared.

“… It’s gone…”

Gyeonhui bit his lower lip while closing his eyes.

He was afraid to not feel her pain anymore.

The after-effect

In front of the operation room.

The operation that had been going on for more than five hours didn’t seem like it would be done soon. Gyeonhui, who had a haggard face, didn’t move his body even an inch from the seat. Dr. Seo quietly gave Ojae a look, and Ojae reluctantly stood up and approached Gyeonhui.

“Why don’t you go inside and get some rest? I’ll be here.”

However, Gyeonhui quietly shook his head. “She’s still in there. How can I rest…”

Since he hadn’t talked for hours, his voice was raspy.

“… Mr. Kwon…”

At that moment, there was a voice calling Ojae. Ojae turned around and looked at the person, it was Eunyoung with a severe face.

“How’s Sun? She’s okay, right?”

“That’s…”

“Look at me straight. Is she alright?”

“The surgery is in progress.”

“What surgery? How bad did she get hurt?”

Ojae only closed his eyes and couldn’t say anything to her.

Eunyoung panicked and came to Ojae again.

She started asking questions. “Please talk to me! Is she okay?!!”

“She’s hurt a lot.”

“What…?”

Asking questions to Ojae incredulously, Eunyoung went to the seat with Gyeonhui.

“What’s going on…”

“…”

“Tell me what happened to her!!!”

Eunyoung grabbed Gyeonhui by the collar and shook him. The quiet Gyeonhui was only letting her do it to him.

“Eunyoung… please calm down. Please.” Ojae tried to stop Eunyoung with a crying voice.

“How… can these things happen to her…”

Eunyoung started crying while plunking on the floor.

“Who the hell did this to Sun… Who made her like this!? Who was it!?”

Eunyoung cried out to the air without knowing the person who actually did this to Sun.

Looking at the panicking Eunyoung, Ojae’s mind wrapped with guilt.

‘Isn’t it crazy that Gyeonhui feels her pain? Wow.’

Ojae felt like everything that was happening here to everyone was started by his own thoughtless and careless words to Sarah.

“… I’m so sorry. It’s all my fault. I told Sarah about the secret…” Ojae couldn’t speak anymore.

Ojae had no idea that the terrible criminals were Sarah and her new boyfriend. However, the worst thing to bear was the fact that he was the leading cause of this problem.

“What’s going on?”

Soon, Eunwoo and Chaekyeong approached Eunyoung too.

Eunyoung was still crying without saying anything, and Ojae was also crying while holding Eunyoung.

Gyeonhui was putting his head on the wall while closing his eyes.

Nobody explained anything to anyone, but Eunwoo was able to know enough about the critical condition that Sun was in.

At that moment, the operating room door opened, and the doctor came out. Ojae and Gyeonhui stood up right away when they saw the doctor.

“How did it go? How is she?”

“Was the surgery done well? She will live, right?” Gyeonhui asked him hurriedly.

“Yes, the surgery was done well, but the wound is much deeper than we expected…”

“So, what does that mean? What does that mean!!!”

“She could have an after-effect.”

“What kind of after-effect are you talking about…”

Gyeonhui asked him anxiously.

“If she’s lucky, only her wrist will fall asleep once in a while, but if not, the right side of her body could be paralyzed.

“What… what?”

Gyeonhui grabbed the doctor by the collar.

“What the hell are you talking about!? You said the surgery was done well!? What do you mean, paralyzed!?”

“Gyeonhui! Let him go!”

“Mr. Woo! Relax!!!”

Watching Gyeonhui next to him, Ojae and Dr. Seo struggled to stop him.

“No way… no way…”

Gyeonhui dropped on the ground and couldn’t say anything.
