Healing Love

Prologue

⚠️ Trigger warning: There's an illegal abortion case being explain. Read at your own caution ⚠️

Yoon Jin Ah looks at the big Seoul Station in front of her. To be honest, she doesn't know where her destination will be. She just followed where her feet took her and follow what her heart told her to do. She entered the massive train station and look around. It seems vast and quiet. Usually, this station is busy and packed with people, but this morning, it is relatively empty. As empty as her heart now. Ironically.

She looked at the train information board and read about the destinations that could lead her to. Mokpo, Jeonju, Daegu, Gwangju, Ulsan, Busan. Which city or which suburb should she go to. Clueless, she just checked on the earliest train available and whether she knew someone at that place. After quickly scan through, Jin Ah made the decision and head to the ticketing counter.

"Give me the earliest train ticket to Busan, please," Jin Ah told the lady at the ticketing counter.

"The first train to Busan will be at 5.15 am. Would you like to have a return ticket or one-way ticket, Miss?" the lady behind the counter asked.

"One way, please," Jin Ah answered short.

"Certainly. For how many people, Miss?"

"One person" seems like there is no energy left in Jin Ah. Even to answer the lady, she felt weak.

Jin Ah looked at the ticket in her hand, 'This is it. This will be our new beginning, Yoon Jin Ah. Let's forget everything that happened here and start new.' She monologues. As she stepped on the train, she turned to look at Seoul one last time. The city holds so many of her memories with her loved ones. Some are beautiful, and some are painful.

"Goodbye," she said as the train moved and left the platform.

A young man was seen running hectically towards the Emergency Room of Busan Medical Specialist Hospital. Panic can be seen on his face as he headed down from his office. He rushed to the said patient, who was just brought in by paramedics.

"Dr Ri, here," a nurse handed in the patient's record from the paramedic to him. "Female, 17 massive haemorrhages from unsafe abortion procedure," the nurse explained further to him. Ri Jung Hyuk appalled listening to the age of the patient.

Dr Ri Jung Hyuk is an Ob-Gyn doctor and surgeon at Busan Medical, and he is one of the best in the field. "Have you reported the case to the police?" he asked, and the nurse told him they had done it. Medical practitioners have to report any cases involving illegal 'medical' services, especially something serious like abortion or organ harvesting.

"How's her condition? Is there any pulse?" he asked the paramedics who brought the girl in, and the man in his thirties brief him the details.

Ri Jung Hyuk looked at the unconscious body in front of him. Blood is everywhere. The paramedics and the ER staffs are trying to stop the bleeding. The petite girl is still wearing her school uniform, and from the tight girdle she was wearing around her abdomen, it seems like she is hiding her pregnancy. Ri Jung Hyuk checked on her lower abdomen to examine how severe the injury is and what he saw was shocking. He closed his eyes and can't imagine what the young girl had gone through.

"Prepare an OR now. Paged Dr Yoon Sang Hyun and get 5 bags of O positive blood. Let's move her now!" he instructed as he tried to stop the bleeding too. His white coat is now full of blood splatters. Together with the staffs, they pushed the young lady to the operating theatre.

Ri Jung Hyuk is trying his best to save the girl. He was shocked to find the makeshift blade stuck in her uterus and had damaged most of the organ. He did not have any other choice but to remove the girl's uterus to stop the bleeding. Not only her uterus that is badly damaged but her cervix, vagina and urethra too.
