Back at the clinic, Kali resumes her tasks. Kali can feel that Ajani is staring at her.

She sighed and turn around to face him.

"What?"

Aji snapped out of trance and shook his head, "Nothing,"

He chuckled awkwardly when Kali squinted her eyes on him.

"So, uhm, they are your mafia team?" Aji asked.

"Yes. The first who arrived," she answered and resumes painting.

"What about the other four?"

"They are Kith's siblings. The only girl was my colleague at SMC," she answered.

"Oh, cool. That hospital is one of the best along with your family's hospitals,"

"They owned it," she said.

"You mean?"

"SMC. Those four are the owners of the SMC," Kali said.

Ajani gasped. "Daebak! I get to meet two of the best youngest doctors in their fields!" He excitedly exclaimed.

"First, you. The best neurosurgeon slashed mafia leader. Then now, CC Stark. The best cardiologist!" He said dreamily.

Kali chuckled at his antics.

"Wait, is she also like... you know?" Aji asked.

Kali turned to him and smirked.

"Whoa! Jeongmal?" Ajani asked in his native language.

"예, 간호사 안"

(ye, ganhosa an)

Kali replied in the Korean language.

"Will you stop daydreaming and finish your task?" Kali said.

"Oh, right!"

"What are we going to do now?" Hiro asked.

When Kali left the café, the rest stayed.

"Do what she said. She's still mad at us," Zed said.

"What's important is that she's back," CC said.

"We can fulfill brother's wish now," Bhoi said.

"You think he will be at peace knowing that Kali hates us? Including him?" Jer asked.

"Then?" Zy asked.

"Aish! I don't know anymore!" Bhoi exclaimed.

"Let's just wait and see what will happen next," Bhoi added.

"By the way, SMC's foundation day is in two weeks, do you have plans?" Zed asked Nero.

Nero is the director of SMC now. She accepted the position last year. But she's still treating patients.

"About that, I want to do it at our hotel. Only the boards and hospital staff are invited. I don't want unnecessary people to be there," CC said.

Zed nodded.

"But all of you are invited since that day will be special since mom returned," CC added.

"Yeah, she'll be the guest of honor," Bhoi said.

"Oh, bummer. How can we tell Kali? I forgot to give the invitation," CC said remembering it.

"We can tell her when she visits the palace or we could just email her," Zed said.
