Episode 274 Family

Dojun swallowed dryly as he looked at the two bottles in his hands.

‘You’re giving me not one, but two lesser panaceas?’

Dojun asked Saetbyeol.

“Saturday Star, isn’t this wrong? There are two instead of one.”

“Isn’t there something wrong?”

‘That’s true. The speed of AI development could have been accelerated by ten years.’

To Dojun, there was something more important than the speed of AI development.

“Really? So I can have both of these? You’re not going to take them away from me later, are you?”

Dojun immediately thought of two uses for the panacea.

‘One for my mother-in-law, and one for… … .’

Dojun thought of Jobs, whom he had seen a little while ago.

‘I extinguished his last spark.’

Jobs vehemently opposed Dojun’s opinions, but eventually accepted them all.

‘Let’s give it to Jobs.’

I figured that a low-level panacea wouldn’t cure Jobs’ illness, but it might extend his life a little.

‘Whether it’s a few months or a few years, I hope Jobs can live the extra time doing whatever he wants.’

Dojun went straight to the bathroom. Jobs also needed medicine, but the most urgent need right now was ‘Dorothy’.

“Jobs, your mother-in-law is in the hospital. I have to go see her right away.”

After saying that, Dojun left for New York.

‘You’ll probably resent me a lot, right?’

While Dorothy was in the intensive care unit, he came to San Francisco and formed an ‘investment group’ and became the largest shareholder of ‘Apple’.

“ha.”

Dojun sighed heavily on the plane, not knowing how to look at Sally and Robert.

‘Is it far to get there?’

Although the plane was flying at 900 km/h, Dojun felt that the plane was incredibly slow today.

As soon as Dojun arrived at JFK New York Airport, he contacted Sally.

“Sally! Where are you?”

– I just arrived at the hospital. Where’s Dojun?

“It’s the airport. I’ll be there right away.”

As soon as I got off at the airport, security guards approached me. I had asked the security company to come to the airport in case something like last time happened again.

Do-jun went straight to the hospital in a car with his bodyguards. Sally was at the hospital entrance.

“Sally!”

Dojun ran to Sally. She looked very haggard.

“Why are you so haggard? Have you been eating?”

“That’s what I’m saying. Do-jun, why are you so skinny?”

“Because I’m… busy with work.”

“You should have eaten well at least.”

Dojun asked Sally.

“Don’t you hate me? I just worked and left my mother-in-law behind.”

Sally said, looking blankly at Dojun.

“I’ve been watching Dojun for a long time. If he did something like that, there must be a reason.”

Dojun hugged Sally.

“Thank you, Sally. You’re the only one who understands me.”

After a while, Sally broke free of the hug and said,

“Let’s go in. I need to see Mom.”

“By the way, how is your mother-in-law?”

“… … .”

Sally didn’t answer, but Dojun’s face became heavy as if he had heard the answer.

After a while, I went to the intensive care unit and saw ‘Robert’ talking to the doctors there.

Robert cried endlessly while looking at the doctor, then looked at Dojun with a cold expression.

Dojun just bowed his head without saying a word. It was because he thought he knew what was on his mind.

“Dad, what did the doctor say?”

Robert gritted his teeth at Sally’s words.

“Dorothy… Dorothy… … .”

“Why? What did the doctor say?”

“I don’t think I can get through today… … .”

In an instant, Sally collapsed to the floor.

“Sally!”

Robert ran over and grabbed Sally.

“Dad… Mom! I can’t send Mom away like this!”

Robert burst into tears at Sally’s words. Do-jun gritted his teeth at the sight.

Originally, I planned to prepare more and naturally feed the ‘lower-grade panacea’ to ‘Dorothy’.

‘But there is no time.’

Do-jun went straight to the intensive care unit. Through the glass window, he saw ‘Dorothy’ wearing an oxygen mask.

“ha.”

Dojun took a deep breath and opened the intensive care unit door. Sally and Robert shouted when they saw that.

“Dojun!”

“What are you doing!”

Dojun ignored what the two were saying and went inside. In front of him was ‘Dorothy’, pale as if she was about to die.

Dojun immediately took out the ‘lower-grade panacea’ and removed ‘Dorothy’s’ respirator.

-Beep.

The mechanical equipment next to Dorothy began to make loud noises. Dojun carefully hugged ‘Dorothy’ and put the ‘lower-grade panacea’ in her mouth.

When the medicine was all empty, Sally and Robert came into the intensive care unit. Robert grabbed Dojun by the collar and shouted.

“what are you doing!”

This time, even Sally was surprised. She quickly put the oxygen mask on Dorothy’s mouth and shouted.

“Dojun, why are you like this? Why!”

Dojun still didn’t answer. As the sound of the machines grew louder, doctors and nurses entered the room.

They shouted when they saw Dojun and his group.

“Why did you come in here! Get out now!”

At the doctor’s shout, Do-jun, Sally, and Robert went out of the intensive care unit. Robert and Sally asked why, but Do-jun did not answer.

Instead, I prayed and prayed in my heart.

‘Please! Please! Save my mother-in-law!’

Thirty minutes passed like that. The door to the intensive care unit opened and a doctor came out.

Sally ran to the doctor and asked.

“Teacher, what about your mother? Is your mother okay?”

The doctor looked puzzled at Sally’s words.

“that is…….”

“Could it be that something is wrong?”

The doctor shook his head.

“No. That… a miracle happened.”

Sally asked, blinking.

“Huh? A miracle?”

“Yes. It’s clear that his physical condition was at its worst, but he’s gradually recovering. His pulse, heart rate, etc. We’ll have to check a little more, but everything is getting better.”

Robert asked the doctor.

“So, Dorothy… is alive?”

The doctor said with a small smile.

“Yes. I don’t think it will be life-threatening.”

At those words, Robert took the doctor’s hand and said.

“Thank you, teacher. I really appreciate it.”

“No. I didn’t do anything. I don’t know how the patient recovered. By any chance… … .”

The doctor looked back and forth between Sally, Robert, and Dojun, then asked Robert.

“Did you do something in the ICU a little while ago?”

“yes?”

Robert tilted his head and looked at Dojun. Robert stared at Dojun for a moment and then shook his head.

“No, nothing.”

“Well, I guess so. It wasn’t a situation that could be improved by doing something. This is just a miracle. I think God helped me.”

After saying that, the doctor left. As he left, Sally approached Dojun.

Sally asked.

“Do… Jun. Did you… do something to Mom?”

Only then did Dojun answer with a bright smile.

“huh.”

Sally hugged Dojun at his answer.

“Thank you! Thank you so much! Thank you so much for saving my mom!”

“Of course. She’s my mother too.”

Sally, who had been crying and hugging Dojun for a long time, let go of his arm. Then Robert came over and asked.

“How on earth… did you do it?”

“I gave him some medicine.”

“approximately?”

“Yes. It’s a very expensive medicine. It was a bit difficult to obtain.”

Robert said with a look of disbelief.

“No, what kind of medicine is it that takes effect as soon as you take it? I tried to find out by using all my connections to save Dorothy. But there was no medicine that could save Dorothy. Not even a clinical medicine.”

Instead of answering, Dojun just smiled.

“Does that matter? What matters is that your mother-in-law’s condition is improving.”

“That’s right, that’s right. What else matters? As long as Dorothy lives.”

Sally asked Robert what he said.

“Dojun, are you sure you came all this time to San Francisco to get this?”

Dojun nodded.

“huh.”

“Then, is this why you created the VENUS investment group?”

“that’s right.”

“Oh my god, so you spent 40 trillion to get this medicine?”

Robert, who was listening to Sally’s words from the side, opened his mouth.

“4… 40 trillion?”

“Yeah, Dad. I heard that VENUS Investment Group has that much in assets.”

“oh my god.”

Robert came to Dojun, took his hand and said.

“Thank you, Dojun.”

“No. We are family.”

“Yes. Family. We are family.”

Robert hugged Do-jun in response to Do-jun’s answer. Sally, who was next to him, hugged the two of them.

The three of them stayed like that for a while.

* * *

Zhang Linfeng bit his fingernails with his teeth.

‘Hwang Do-jun is alive.’

The news was about an investment company called ‘VENUS GROUP’. In fact, it’s not often that an investment company is featured in the news.

However, the reason this company was in the news was because of its members.

‘A company that Google, Amazon, and MS are investing in. Not only that, but a huge amount of money has also been invested by the UAE’s Abu Dhabi private equity fund. But… the chairman of that company is Hwang Do-jun!’

I thought he was at least hospitalized since there was no news of his death, but he was alive and well.

‘How are you alive? From that accident!’

Zhang Linfeng walked around the living room. The living room was a mess of broken windows and drawers.

Zhang Linfeng shuddered at the sight. This was the trace of a thief who had broken into the house about a month ago. Zhang Linfeng left the trace as it was so as not to lose his sense of alertness.

‘If I had stayed at home, I might have died.’

Zhang Linfeng never slept at home after that day. He lived in a nearby hotel.

‘The police said it was a thief, but maybe it wasn’t a thief. Maybe it was after me.’

Zhang Linfeng thought of the lucky letter.

‘You clearly told me to get rid of the Irregulars. Then shouldn’t you have told me to get rid of them too? Because I interfered with what the Letter of Chains was trying to do.’

Zhang Linfeng disobeyed the instructions in the chain letter, which were to ‘kill Eric and save Wilson’. Instead, he ‘save Eric and capture Wilson’.

Zhang Linfeng’s legs trembled.

‘That’s right. It wasn’t a thief who broke into my house. It was the chain letter who noticed and sent someone to get rid of me.’

Zhang Linfeng didn’t know if it was true or not, but he believed it.

After thinking about this, Zhang Linfeng couldn’t sleep properly after that. Every day, he felt like someone was chasing him, and his nerves became even more tense.

‘I can’t live like this. Is there no way to survive?’

The first thing that came to mind was to ‘eliminate’ Hwang Do-jun.

But killing Hwang Do-jun was out of the question. He was surrounded by more than ten bodyguards, and whenever he moved, two security vehicles followed him.

That wasn’t all. Hwang Do-jun was riding in a bulletproof car, so it was impossible to kill him by any means possible.

‘Is there really no way?’

Zhang Linfeng returned to the hotel and thought about it again. He had not slept for several days and his eyes were bloodshot, but Zhang Linfeng did not recognize himself like that.

“Wait a minute, there’s one?”

Zhang Linfeng looked outside the hotel with reddened eyes and a smile.

“Ma Huateng! Ma Huateng is the only one who can communicate with the Lucky Letter right now. What would happen if Ma Huateng disappeared?”

For some reason, the chain letter never moved directly. It always needed someone to do its work.

‘If Ma Huateng disappears, the Lucky Letter will have no choice but to give me a letter. Then, I will automatically be free from the threat of death!’

“ha ha ha.”

Zhang Linfeng, who had found the answer, left the hotel. With bloodshot eyes, he entered a restaurant deep in Chinatown.

It was a store run by the ‘Samhaphoe’.

“This is a Sichuan cuisine restaurant, right? I want to eat 100 servings of the chef’s recommended dish today. I’ll pay in cash.”

Dorothy underwent another full body exam, blood tests, a CT scan, and an MRI.

The results came out the next day.

“It’s a miracle. My brain is clear. I had a cerebral hemorrhage, but now there’s no trace left. There’s nothing wrong with my blood tests either. This is just unbelievable.”

At the doctor’s words, Sally and Robert cried again. Dojun sighed in relief.

“If this is the case, I think I’ll be able to come to my senses today or tomorrow.”

“Thank you, teacher.”

The doctor spoke again at Sally’s words.

“However, the damaged spine has not been restored. The lower half of the body will be unusable.”

It was a shocking story, but everyone’s expressions were not bad. They were happy that Dorothy, who they thought would die, had come back to life.

As the doctor said, Dorothy came to her senses the next day. Dorothy’s body recovered very quickly. The doctor was surprised once again.

Thanks to that, Dorothy was discharged from the hospital after a week. Dojun took Dorothy home and told Sally the next day.

“I think I should go see Jobs.”

Sally answered after kissing Dojun on the lips.

“Do whatever you want, Dojun. I trust you no matter what you do.”

“Yeah. Thanks, Sally.”

After saying goodbye to Robert and Dorothy, Dojun moved back to San Francisco.

Dojun thought he could meet Jobs if he went to Apple headquarters. But he couldn’t.

“The president is at home. He is not feeling well.”

“ah!”

Do-jun, who was becoming anxious, asked for Jobs’ home address and went to the house.

When I entered the house, Jobs was in the living room staring blankly out the window.

“Jobs.”

Jobs was clearly ill. What little hair he had left had fallen out, and a deathly look hung over his face.

Jobs saw Dojun and smiled awkwardly.

“Do… Jun, you’re here… military.”

Jobs seemed powerless to speak.

‘It’s because of me. Death came sooner because of me.’

“huh.”

“Yes, this time… why are you here? I don’t have… anything… more to give you… .”

Dojun responded calmly to those words.

“This time, I came to give instead of receive.”

“What do you mean?”

Dojun said, holding a ‘lower-grade panacea’ in one hand.

“It’s a short but rich life.”

* * *

Saetbyul watched Sally smile and smiled back.

‘Thank goodness it’s not too late.’

Saetbyeol looked at Dojun heading to the airport, his chest clearing.

‘I’m glad it ended happily.’

Everything was fine, but there was one thing that was bothersome.

‘Why are there two panaceas?’

Of course, it didn’t make sense because the numbers weren’t displayed. But up until now, when the numbers weren’t displayed, only one came out.

‘Has something changed?’

There was a change so clear that you can tell just by thinking about it a little.

‘This help itself was not common sense.’

It was the ‘help’ I got after giving up the ‘help’ opportunity of 3 years. Moreover, the process by which I learned the method was not common sense.

Morning Star got up from her seat and looked at the ‘black pillar’ in the distance.

“That’s when I put my hand on the pillar, you said you wanted something from me. I didn’t know what it was at the time.”

But now I know.

‘You stole some of my memories.’

I looked at the ‘black pillar’ and remembered the time shortly after Saetbyeol was born. I think I looked particularly closely at what happened with the Master.

At first, I couldn’t figure out why. But as time went by, I came to know it without even realizing it.

‘The memory of the black pillar remains in my memory.’

Of course it wasn’t clear, but I had a little idea what the black pillar was.

The morning star approached the black pillar. The black pillar asked.

[Do you have any wishes for me again?]

“no.”

[Then why did you come? Your master’s wish must have been granted.]

“that’s right.”

[Hmm. Then I won’t be able to help the Master for three years. Are you asking me to lift that restriction as well?]

The morning star shook her head. Her long hair swayed.

“No. I came because I wanted to ask you something.”

[Haha. You finally have something to ask me. What do you want to ask me?]

The morning star answered.

“You, sir. Your identity is… .”
