Chapter 5: The Call

Love Will Always Be

General POV

The phone rang in the Son household at one o clock in the morning and a sleepy Mrs. Son answered the phone. The conversation lasted for only three minutes because she had already dropped the phone. Good thing that her husband was also awake so he picked up the phone and talked to other person on the other line. After they talked, he hung up the phone and they got dressed. Mrs. Son went to his son's room and told him what happened, she asked him to stay with his sister. When they were ready, they left and drove to the destination provided by the person they talked to. Twenty minutes later they arrived and went inside the building.

"Where is Son Chaeyoung?" Mrs. Son asked to the receptionist.

The girl looked into the computer before answering, "She's still in surgery. Please proceed to the waiting room and a doctor will update you there"

They did as they were told and sat in the waiting area. After two hours, Myoui Sachiko emerged from the operating room and proceeded to the waiting room where her friends are waiting. She saw the worried couple and approached them.

Son Cho-Hee saw her friend and immediately stood up as she approached them. "How is my Chaeng?"

Myoui Sachiko motioned her to sit down. "Cho, I want you to know that I did everything I could to save her and we did but she's in critical condition. We lost her three times on the table but she's a fighter. According to our findings, this is her second accident during intoxication. It really doesn't look good because this is worse than her first but I know she will recover, we just don't know when. She's being transferred to the ICU as we speak and I can only allow a few minutes to visit her"

They understood and with that being said, the Sons followed Dr. Myoui to the ICU. As she opened the door they saw their daughter lying in the hospital bed with machines hooked up to her. She was barely recognizable with all the bruises and cuts on her face. Cho-Hee held her daughter's hand and just broke down as her husband Myung Dae comforted her. They were really devastated that this happened again to their daughter. She talked to her daughter hoping that she would her and after a few minutes, they went out the room. Sachiko led them to her office where a police officer was waiting. They all sat down and the police officer explained to them what happened.

"Hi, I'm Officer Park Jinyoung. I am assigned to your daughter's case. We received a report around eleven thirty this evening about a collision in the corner of Sujeong-ro and Sujeongseo-ro Road. Good thing that the CCTV in the area caught what happened." He opened the laptop on the table and showed them the video. "As you can see here, this red and black Ferrari was passing the intersection at a speed above normal when this truck over here" He pointed to a truck coming from the left side. "…ran her over. The Ferrari was crushed by the truck, it was a miracle that the driver was even alive when a staff from a nearby convenience store got her out and immediately called for help. From this footage you will see that the truck driver didn't even go down to help and drove away but it's a good thing we got the plate number of the truck. I know this is hard for you Mr. and Mrs. Son but I want you to know that we are doing everything that we can to find the driver of the truck that ran over your daughter. And my prayers go to her speedy recovery."

With that, the officer left the office and Cho-Hee and Myung Dae just couldn't believe this has happened again.

 

Cho-Hee’s POV

Getting that call broke me once again; I never thought this would never happen again but it did and I couldn't help but think about the worse because the first time it happened almost caused my daughter her life. Now this happens. Everything is still a blur because my best friend just provided limited information when she called me so my husband and I immediately prepared to go to the hospital. I woke my son to tell him what happened and to stay with her sister as we go out. Twenty minutes later we arrived at the hospital and went straight to the receptionist. She told us that Chaeyoung is still in surgery so we waited in the waiting room. Two hours passed by and I saw my best friend Sachiko walking towards us still in her scrub suit. She told us Chaeyoung’s condition and I couldn't help but cry. She allowed us to see her for a few minutes and as we enter the ICU it really broke my heart to see my eldest daughter fighting for her life. I held her hand and whispered…

"Chaeng, honey, if you can hear me, I want you to know that we love you. Please don't leave us yet. Please fight. Please? P…please?" I had a few more words to say but I just couldn't stop crying. My husband comforted me because we couldn't do anything to make our daughter feel better. I'm trying to think positive with the situation but this is the second time this happened already so I don't know what the effects of it are.

When we got out of the room, we proceeded to Sachiko’s office where a police officer explained to us what really happened. He showed us the video of the accident as captured by the CCTV in the area. When I saw the video I held my hand to my chest and just thought of the impact it would cause my daughter. If I was an outsider I wouldn't think that anyone would survive such accident but I'm really glad she did. When Chaeyoung first got into an accident I thought I would go crazy. I wasn't prepared to lose a child yet, I already lost my husband, not her too. We're supposed to go first before they do. I was so thankful when she woke up from that month long coma just a year ago; although she had to stay home for five more months to recover she was able to surpass it. But with this second incident, I really don't know what's going to happen. She just started her new life. I knew she didn't like moving here but she's trying her best. Why does this have to happen?

 

 

 

 

A/N: 

I tried to research the names of Chaeyoung's parents but I couldn't find any article mentioning their names so I just made the names up here.
