223 The Imnse Pain
Jae-Hwa accompanied Nivritti and they ca out of the conference room. The person from security held the wheelchair and pushed it towards the door. ASD, the doctor and Chung-Ho followed them. Before they could leave the room, Dae ca running toward Nivritti.
“I am sorry, Ritti, extrely sorry, it was just a mistake,” he shouted and ca near Nivritti.
Kyung-Soo imdiately blocked his path and looked at him angrily. “It’s enough,” he shouted.
“Sorry, King, please, let apologise,” begged Dae.
Kyung-Soo placed his palm firmly on his chest and stopped him. He sternly stared at him and through gritted teeth said, “back-off!!” The legendary anger of Kyung-Soo was back. Dae instantly backed off and gulped in fear.
The doctor went back to his room while ASD and Chung-Ho followed Jae-Hwa to her car. Kyung-Soo moved forward and lifted Nivritti in his hands and placed Nivritti in the front seat. She kept groaning and moaning with pain. She was slowly coming out of her faint spell. He secured the seat belt around her and looked at Jae-Hwa who was standing near the driver’s door.
“I will inform you, I swear,” said Jae-Hwa and sat in the driver’s seat. She started the engine and drove away hurriedly. All the boys and Chung-Ho kept standing and staring at the car.
Leaving ASD alone, Chung-Ho walked up to the script departnt. Dae ca running at him. “Please Choi-ssi, believe , it was an accident. I would never hurt her. I would never hurt anybody.”
“Seong-ssi! I understand. These things can happen. Please go back to reading the scripts. You have to present everything to Hu-ssi in a few hours,” said Chung-Ho.
.....
“Please inform about her after you receive any news,” pleaded Dae.
“I will. Go back to your work,” said Chung-Ho.
Dae lowered his head and walked toward his seat. The corners of his mouth were lowered, and his eyes were slightly wet. Everyone was feeling bad for him. All could see the guilt of hurting Nivritti on his face.
He wiped the corner of his eyes and reached his seat. The mont he sat down his frown turned upside down and a devilish smile appeared on his face. He had his revenge, she was injured and everyone forgot about the scolding he received from both Chung-Ho and Bong. All were concentrated on his sad face.
He then thought of moving to the new stage of his plan. While reading the scripts he kept jotting down the title of the script, the writer of the script and the ID of the script. He was ready to send everything to Missmatch.
Jae-Hwa drove Nivritti to the hospital and when she was about to reach, she called her brother. “We will reach in a few minutes,” she inford.
“What? What? Ahhhh…” Nivritti, with all the jerks, all the twists and turns of the car, ca to her senses and the mont her brain felt the pain, she shouted at the top of her lungs. Jae-Hwa was not ready for that. She swerved the car but took control imdiately.
“Calm down!” scolded Jae-Hwa.
“What? Where am I? Ow!!!!” asked Nivritti and imdiately raised her injured leg and grabbed the bandage. She cried even louder after touching her injury.
“We are about to reach the hospital. Just a few more minutes,” comforted Jae-Hwa.
“What happene… Oh shit! Dae stepped on my toe. Ahhh… the pain is unbearable,” cried Nivritti.
“Yeah, he kept apologising but you were not in your senses,” replied Jae-Hwa.
“What?” inquired Nivritti.
“You fainted and for minutes you were just moaning and groaning,” educated Jae-Hwa.
“Oh!”
Jae-Hwa parked the car, and a few nurses and Jae-Geun ca running.
“She called… ahhh… you?” asked Nivritti while shouting with pain.
“Take her to the ergency room one,” ordered Jae-Geun. The nurses placed Nivritti on a stretcher and wheeled her inside the ergency room. “What happened?” he asked his sister.
“We were having a eting and we were just about to walk out of the room when Seong-ssi stepped on her injured toe basically crushing it. Our company doctor was unable to stop the bleeding. He sohow tied the bandage enough for her to travel. Also, she fainted after he stepped on it and her faint spell longed for about 10 minutes,” Jae-Hwa gave him the complete report.
Jae-Geun moved toward the room and asked Jae-Hwa to wait outside.
The mont Nivritti saw him she cried, “SJ! The pain is unbearable. Give sothing for that first.”
“Let check and I will give you sothing after that,” replied Jae-Geun. The nurses had already removed her sandals. He opened the bandage quickly and looked at the injury. Her nail was completely broken, and her toe had swelled twice its size. The good news was the bleeding had stopped but the bad news was, there was discolouration of her toe.
It was clear that her nail had detached itself from the skin, but the nail was nowhere to be found. The nurse noticed the nail stuck to the bandage and inford Jae-Geun. He ordered the nurse to give so pain dication and take her to an X-ray to check if there was any fracture.
The nurse complied, entered Nivritti’s details into a computer, gave the dose prescribed by Jae-Geun to Nivritti and took her to take an X-ray.
“What did you see?” asked Jae-Hwa as soon as Jae-Geun ca outside.
“I think this ti it’s a fracture. She is in imnse pain, there is swelling and bruising. Her toe is bluish-black. Let’s see what the x-ray shows,” replied Jae-Geun.
The nurses ca back after getting Nivritti’s feet x-rayed and inford Jae-Geun that he can get the hard copy in a few minutes. He waited for another nurse to arrive with the report. In the anti, he called an orthopedic surgeon for consultation.
A nurse arrived with the film and Jae-Geun’s friend from Ortho arrived to help him. Jae-Geun handed the film over to him and the ortho doctor checked her film.
“Oh! It is not that clear in this film, but I can see a faint hairline fracture. We should do CT to be sure,” said the ortho doctor.
“I thought so,” replied Jae-Geun. “Look at her toe.”
The ortho doctor moved near Nivritti’s foot and saw the injury. There was substantial swelling and now her toe was darker in colour. He touched her toe and Nivritti let out a loud cry.
“Did you give her any pain d?” asked the ortho doctor.
“I ordered acetaminophen,” replied Jae-Geun.
“Let’s push naproxen too and give her an IV. Then take her to CT and inform after you are done,” ordered the ortho doctor.
Jae-Geun signalled the nurse to take Nivritti to CT. Jae-Hwa kept walking up and down the corridor waiting for news from her brother. She knew ASD would be waiting for her to tell them about Nivritti. But she had no confirmation about her condition.
After about half an hour, she received word from Jae-Geun to co to the orthopedic departnt. She ran upstairs and reached room no. 8, which her brother told her about. She opened the door and saw her brother and another doctor watching so films on a screen. All she could see were bones from a foot.
“There, see that, that’s a fracture,” said the ortho doctor.
“Fracture!!” shouted Jae-Hwa. Both the n turned around and saw the horror on Jae-Hwa’s face.
“Young-Jae, et my sister, San Jae-Hwa, Jaehwa, he is Park Young-Jae, ortho doctor and my friend,” said Jae-Geun.
“Hello! Tell what you were talking about fracture,” she asked impatiently.
“Who is she and what is she doing here with you brother and sister?” asked Young-Jae.
“She is our friend, my colleague. We work in the sa company. And where is she?” asked Jae-Hwa.
“We use this room for file viewing. She is in the casting room, next door,” replied Young-Jae. “Did soone really step on her toe?”
“Yes,” replied Jae-Hwa.
“Ouch!” exclaid Young-Jae.
“Does she need a cast?”
“Well, hairline fracture, in most cases, does not need a cast. Complete bed rest and it will heal on its own. But Jae-Geun said that it would be better as she is never going to listen if I tell her to get complete bed rest. So, a cast would be better. I will get the cast done. Let her finish her IV and you can take her ho at night,” educated Young-Jae.
“You are not wrong. As she is new in the company, she is hesitant to take a leave. And today she received a list of her upcoming duties so I don’t think she will stop going to the office,” said Jae-Hwa.
“Still, she must take rest for at least 3-4 days. You have to make sure of that,” said Young-Jae.
“I will inform my seniors,” said Jae-Hwa.
Young-Jae and Jae-Geun moved to the room next door and Jae-Hwa took her phone out of her pocket. She opened the RASD chat group and inford, “Doctors took a look at her foot, and they found a hairline fracture. She is getting a cast and I will take her ho at night. The doctor said that she must rest for at least 3-4 days. I will inform Choi-ssi when I co back.”
