ALL CHARACTERS, LOCATIONS, ORGANIZATIONS, AND INCIDENTS

DEPICTED IN THIS DRAMA ARE ENTIRELY FICTITIOUS

Make your choice.

Between the two of us, whose liver will you accept?

Decide right here, right now!

Make your decision, Dr. Cha.

I'm not sure.

Whose liver should I accept?

I choose…

I want to ride this one.

Would that be all right?

Yes.

Of course.

Are you joking right now?

Also, I'm not going to accept…

either of your livers.

I'm not going to accept anyone's liver.

I'll figure this out on my own, so both of you should stop now.

Okay?

And you can leave.

You want me to go now?

- Then what will you do? - Me?

Can't you tell?

Then shall we go?

Yes, let's go.

Hold on to him tight!

What am I saying?

Next time, you should be the driver.

Me?

I do wonder what it'd be like to drive this.

I'm going to go fast. Hold on tight!

Okay!

FINALE

CONVALESCENT HOSPITAL

Hanseong Medical Corporation said they're willing to take over.

The amount they proposed is decent, but it's still a shame.

The facilities and equipment here

are better than other hospitals of a similar scale.

Above all else, the medical staff here are earnest and devoted.

Hello.

Hello.

You've done great.

It's so nice.

What kinds of patients generally come here?

Some people come here after cancer surgery before going home.

This place also acts as a hospice

for terminal cancer patients in managing their pain.

Maybe it's because your father, the chairman, also suffered from cancer,

but he took special care in establishing this hospital.

He invested generously in the facilities and the personnel.

Should I proceed with the contract?

Why don't I take over this hospital?

I have a feeling I'd do a good job.

I want to give it a shot.

You might have already suspected this,

but the steroid pulse therapy isn't having much of an effect.

I think

it's proceeding to acute liver failure.

You'll need another liver transplant.

A deceased liver donor may show up in time,

but otherwise, you'll need to receive the liver

of a living donor as fast as possible.

I guess so.

This isn't some stranger's business.

I can't help but laugh.

Honestly,

it feels like a dream that something like this…

to happen again.

I'm telling you this again,

but all of my immunological tests including my blood type

show that I'm a good match.

When I ran a simulation, the liver volume that I can donate was good,

and there was no anatomical variation, so there won't be any problem.

Not this again.

Professor Kim,

you're quite stubborn.

I am, so please change your mind.

Please give me

the chance to save your life.

Professor Kim,

I have a favor to ask.

Can I…

leave the hospital just for today?

It's nice to see you here, Ms. Cha Jeong-suk.

I have to go back to the hospital.

I was allowed to leave the hospital for a little bit today.

Do I look really bad?

What do you mean?

You look perfectly fine with that makeup on.

So you need…

another liver transplant?

Yes.

But I'm not sure if that's the right thing to do.

What do you mean? You have to do it to live.

Even if I do get another transplant,

who's to say this won't happen again?

I'm scared I'll be causing unnecessary suffering for someone

because of me.

How is your mother?

She's really worried, right?

"Really worried" doesn't cut it.

She says she should be the one dying,

but somehow things got reversed.

I think she thinks that I got sick because she got better.

That she took away all my luck.

That's ridiculous!

It is ridiculous.

It's ridiculous.

No matter how many times I say it's not true,

she can't seem to get that thought out of her head.

She rarely comes to the hospital.

I guess it's too difficult for her to see me sick.

Smile.

SCOOP OUT THE AVOCADO AND PUT IT IN A LARGE BOWL

TO JUNG-MIN AND I-RANG, WHOM I LOVE THE MOST IN THE WORLD

Dear Jung-min

and I-rang.

You're not shocked that I wrote a letter like this, right?

I looked at your baby photos today.

You were so small and pretty that I was so scared to hold you in my arms.

When did you two grow to be this big?

I hope that both of you become wise people

who know how to find happiness in everyday life.

I hope that you eat what you want and do the things you want to do,

then fall asleep happy and wake up refreshed.

Jung-min,

I-rang,

Even though

I may not be by your side one day,

I'll always protect you.

And…

thank you for being my son and daughter.

I LOVE YOU

I love you so much that it can't be expressed

in words.

Love, your mom.

Mom!

What? I-rang.

What happened? What are you doing here?

I was able to leave for a bit, but I have to go back soon.

I wish you could always be home like before.

I know.

Jeong-suk, what are you doing here?

Why are you here and not at the hospital?

Mother, have you been well?

Yes.

She came out for a bit but has to go back to the hospital.

I heard you went to see Eun-seo's mom.

She said you should go to the school you want.

And that you should live without that guilt.

- Really? - Yes.

I know you did it because you were angry.

But I-rang,

I'm not…

as unhappy as you think I am.

Getting married to your dad

and raising you and Jung-min

has given me

many more happy memories than sad ones.

I know you've had a hard time too.

But I hope…

that what's happened doesn't hurt you anymore.

- Okay? - Okay.

DIVORCE APPLICATION

SEO IN-HO

Mother, I'll get going now.

Is your treatment going well?

It's all right.

Don't think about anything else

and focus on getting better.

Okay, Mother.

I hope you stay well too.

I really don't understand you.

You should've led an easygoing life after you had gotten a liver transplant.

Why would you mess with your fate and get sick again?

If your husband begs for forgiveness,

you should accept it.

Do you think getting a divorce will make things better?

I'm sorry, Mother,

that I couldn't be a good daughter-in-law to the very end.

Mother, I'll be back after talking to Jeong-suk.

Goodbye, Mother. Stay well.

Why would she come home after leaving this house?

How stubborn. She doesn't know how good it is to have a husband.

She insists on making people cry to the very end.

Didn't the real estate agent call you?

I heard someone came to look.

I said I wasn't going to sell it.

Just keep it.

You…

have the right to keep it.

You said your mother had debt.

Forget about it.

I'll figure it out,

so don't bring it up again.

It's the divorce papers.

You don't want to accept my liver

because you don't want to be at a disadvantage to me.
