Johann was able to know people from all walks of life as he was working in the hospital.
Many of his patients who had recovered would send their greetings to him every festive season. Some of them would become
his friends, and they would hang out and have dinner together.
He got to know them through work.
However, his encounter with Luke Crawford was slightly different.
It all started 11 years ago.
Johann was not a doctor yet but a student who was awarded a medical school scholarship. He was the most talented and
outstanding medical student acknowledged by every professor.
It was nothing at first, but he stole another top student's thunder because of his Western facial features when he just entered the
school. Hence, the other students had been holding a grudge against him.
He was obsessed with learning medical knowledge. He could not be bothered to waste his time dealing with others. All he had in
his mind was to finish his studies and learn more medical knowledge.
That was why he did not have any friends in medical school. He was a freak in that country where they discriminated against
people based on their skin color.
However, he did not care what people thought of him.
He would avoid those who made things difficult for him. If he could not avoid them, he would come face to face with them. After
all, he was not someone who could be treated like a doormat.
It was until one day...
Johann accompanied his tutor to visit a senior doctor in the medical field. He originally thought that they came for knowledge
exchange, but he did not expect that they were going to a party.
Many of the big cheese in the healthcare industry drank a toast to Johann when his tutor introduced him and complimented him
in front of them. He was already drunk when he left the party.
No one sent him back home. No one would have expected that a man like him would run into danger while he was on the way
back home.
The medical student who was previously the top student of the school before Johann came to steal his show came from a
famous local mafia family. He was drinking with a few gangsters that night, and he ran into Johann while he was on his way back
to his dormitory.
A wicked idea crossed his mind when he saw that Johann was drunk and could fall anytime. He asked the other gangsters to join
him to beat Johann up.
They discriminated against him in the first place. When they were under the influence of alcohol, the four of them surrounded
Johann.
Normally, Johann would have been able to escape, but he was drunk. One of the gangsters threw a punch at him and he fell on
the spot.
When Johann thought there was no way he could escape from getting beaten up tonight, Luke, who was also studying abroad,
showed up in front of him.
He finished them off in a jiffy. The medical student and gangsters surrounding him were knocked down to the ground.
However, the gangsters were good at fighting too. They charged toward Luke. Even though they got knocked down earlier, Luke
did not win the fight either. He got beaten up too and was stabbed in the arm.
Although the wound was not deep, blood kept gushing out from the wound.
After that, the local police officers showed up and stopped the fight.
They were brought to the police station for interrogation. There were surveillance cameras to prove that they were defending
themselves. It was only then the police officers released them.
By the time they were released, Luke's wound had already stopped bleeding and the blood coming out of the wound was clotted.
Johann had sobered up too.
Johann noticed the wound on Luke's arm and insisted on bringing him back to the dormitory to help him to dress his wound and
let him spend the night in his dormitory.
That was how Johann and Luke got to know each other.
“Dr. Park, what's on your mind?" Jason lifted his hand and waved in front of Johann when he noticed Johann was lost in his
thoughts.
"I was recalling how I met your boss," Johann stood up straight and glanced at the ward.
Dexter walked out of the bathroom after changing into the hospital gown.
"I really have no idea about that. How did you meet our boss?"Jason asked with curiosity.
"I never knew that you could be so gossipy. Ask your boss, then." Knowing that everything here was settled, Johann said, "I'm
going to Leia's ward. Are you coming with me?"
Jason shook his head. He did not have a good impression of Leia, so he did not want to see her. He replied, "No. I'm going back
to the office first. Text me if anything happens."
"Pray that everything goes well." Johann smiled and left. After he reminded the nurse about Dexter's matters, he made his way
up the stairs.
Johann came to the nurses' station. He was not in a hurry to look for Leia. Instead, he used the computer at the nurses' station
and requested another two infusion bottles.
When the head nurse saw the name listed for the infusion bottle, she smiled and asked, "Is this for Ms. Leia?"
"Yes," Johann nodded. He asked the hospital pharmacy downstairs to send them up here.
"Is there a liver donor?" The head nurse asked again as she thought it was possible.
She had seen many people who needed organ transplants after becoming a nurse for so many years. There were many cases of
a liver transplant as well.
Some people successfully got organ transplants, recovered their health, and got discharged from the hospital. However, those
who managed to get the surgery done were not the ones waiting for organ donors. The organ transplanted into their bodies
came from their families.
She had also seen those who were unable to get the transplant done because the organs of their families were incompatible with
them.
Most of them waited until the end of their lives as they could not afford to wait for the organ that could save their lives.
Leia's blood group was different from her parents', so the head nurse was surprised to know that she had a liver donor.
“I can't seem to hide anything from you." Johann smiled. He planned to wait for the infusion bottles to arrive before entering
Leia's ward.
"Although I'm not as knowledgeable as doctors are, I've been working as a nurse for more than 20 years. If I don't know what the
solutions are used for, then I'm pretty sure I'm a failed nurse." The head nurse chuckled.
"You're way better than the medical interns who just came in," Johann complimented her. What he said was the truth.
Sometimes, an experienced medical staff was more important than a knowledgeable doctor.
Johann left a remark that he needed the infusion bottles now. That was why the bottles were sent up quickly.
The head nurse picked up the infusion bottles and said, "You mind if I follow you in?"
"Won't asking you to give her the injection be a waste of your time?" Johann did not reject her offer. He teased the head nurse
instead.
The head nurse smiled, shook her head, and said, "Asking a doctor like you to give the patient an injection would be a waste of
time."
"I'm not as good as you are when it comes to injection skills," replied Johann.
The two of them laughed and chatted with each other as they came to Leia's ward.
Johann did not push the door open immediately. Instead, he reminded the head nurse, "Try to stay calm if anything happens
later."
"Okay. Are there any situations that I've never come across before? I can handle this," the head nurse replied. She thought
Johann was talking about Leia being overjoyed after knowing that they had found a liver donor for her.
Johann pushed the door open.
Leia was lying on the hospital bed, hooked on an IV drip. She heard the sound of the door opening. Then, she turned to look in
the direction of the door. A trace of impatience flashed across her eyes as she asked. "Haven't you finished doing the ward
rounds? Why are you here again?"
"Ms. Leia, I'll have to put you on a drip for another two solutions," the head nurse smiled and replied.
Leia frowned. After what happened yesterday, she was afraid to see Johann bringing the IV solution bottle into her ward.
Johann had given her an injection to stabilize her blood pressure yesterday, and she ended up suffering from the side effects of
the injection. She was only able to regain some of her strength in the evening.
Leia was alerted and asked, “Why am I taking so many injections today?"
