"Are you really a doctor's favorite?"

　　"Stupid, when did I become a favorite? You'll also be a 'favorite' if you're not that lazy in the operating room." I replied.

　　Tristan is my blockmate since med school, one of my closest friend eversince then.

　　"All right, go ahead and maybe you will be dismissed later." He said before pushing me out of the lounge and closing the door.

　　"Congratulations, among all of the doctors here today you're the youngest and the most outstanding surgeon of our department." How many times have I heard this from him?

　　"Thank you, sir," I took his hand for a handshake.

　　"I wanted you to operate on one of our VIPs, the biggest shareholder and the wife of our hospital's director."

　　Is it really have to be her?

　　"I'm sorry sir, I have an emergency surgery. You can tell me the details later when the operation ended." I use that as an excuse and pretended to run to the staff lounge to drink some water.

　　I don't know if I can deal with it, I've cost a lot of trouble in their family.

　　"Doc Morales, there is a patient who needs emergency surgery!"

　　Fuck.

　　I quickly ran into the locker room to change into my new scrubs, when I opened my locker I saw a paper that flew down so I read it. It's just a small letter so maybe I won't last long.

　　"Goodluck at bar exams, I love you! <3" - Michaella <3

　　"Don't cry Steven, the patient might die if you're not going to come there."

　　That’s what I say to myself while buttoning up my new scrubs.

　　"Vitals are stable but there's a weird sounds in his lungs, he might have a Congenital diaphragmatic hernia so prepare the operating room and the patient for the surgery." I calmly said, but inside I'm panicking already.

　　"Everything's ready, move!" Nurse Mica stated before getting the patient's bed into the ER.

　　The ECMO is already connected to the patient with the help of cannula, I perform the cannulation process when the tube is already inside.

　　The operation is a success, but what i got in return is the worst thing.

　　"Why did you operate on my son!" A father of the patient I think, punched me right on my face.

　　You know the feeling that you did the right thing for the good of someone and then you are blamed for doing it?

　　"Don't worry he's now stab-"

　　"It's just a fever, why do you perform an operation? Are you stupid?" No.

　　"First of all it's not just a fever, second he has a Congenital diaphragmatic hernia that can lead to death, third you have been going for a very long time so I did not get your approval for surgery. Overall I did nothing wrong with the patient, I save his life and might as well I can save you from your trashy mindset and attitude. " I stated and left them there hanging at the entrance of the ICU.

　　The next day I was called to the office again, by the director of the hospital saying that the patient's guardian filled a lawsuit against me and the hospital.

　　"Don't worry, we have a nice lawyer for you. But please be professional when you're meeting with that person. Personal feelings aside. You can go now." That's all he said, he's a doctor with more experience than mine so I really trust him. He is also the person close to me, before.

　　I'm meeting the lawyer at the cafeteria at lunch time so I clear my meetings for other things that afternoon.

　　Why is she here?

　　"Are you Steven Morales?" I nodded. "I'm Zahaenah Nicole Villareal, a lawyer that is responsible for the most stupid case I've ever heard."

　　She change her name, her hair is also nice and long now. She looked really .. nice and professional.

　　"Tell me some details about your argument yesterday, I heard that he cause a physical harm and hit you in the face after you saved his son. But why would he file a case in that small reason? Right?"

　　"Right."

　　Personal feelings aside. Right.

　　"I also have the CCTV footage yesterday and as you can see, he approaches you first."

　　I can't speak directly.

　　"I did nothing but operated on a boy that has a Con-"

　　"Congenital diaphragmatic hernia that can lead to death. And you also performed the surgery with the ECMO machine. All of those people who are involved in the operation is also affected by the case, but don't worry I can win this case all my own. Thank you for your time. "

　　She stood up and didn't even shake the hand that I gave her.

　　You looked so beautiful like you always do.

　　I fell for you once again.

　　And I hate my mind for playing tricks on me.
