Chapter 197 – Chapter 197
〈 Physician’s point of view〉
Seeing Kim Hyeon-seong happy rather than afraid of the surgery, Lee Hak-eui had to make up his mind once more.
He vowed to make it work somehow.
“First of all, you look very good today… I will take one more CT and MRI to find out the exact condition.”
“All right.”
Fortunately, the CT and MRI schedules were not set today, so Kim Hyun-seong quickly completed the two procedures and was able to face them again in the clinic.
On the other hand, Lee Hak-eui, who greeted Kim Hyeon-seong and looked at the CT and MRI results in front of him, couldn’t help but doubt his own eyes.
“No, what is this…”
A photo taken a month ago, and a photo taken today.
No matter how I looked at it, I wasn’t wrong.
In the picture on the left, there was clearly a marked area of pancreatic cancer. But, taken today… The picture on the right doesn’t show any of that.
I wondered if I was mistaken, so I enlarged the part visible on the left and the photo on the right several times, but it was clear.
No, it’s not clean, and now it’s healthier than the people who usually visit.
“Sir, this is…”
It was said that even a dog in Seodang would recite Poongwol in three years.
Some of the nurses who had been following Hak-eui Lee were also at a loss for words while carefully watching the photo.
I must have had pancreatic cancer… Because it’s gone
“…”
Lee Hak-eui asked cautiously rather than immediately revealing this fact.
Two characteristics of pancreatic cancer are that it is difficult to treat, and secondly, that it is painful. It’s even more amazing that I finally came back after enduring that pain for so long.
But…
“Father, I’m asking just in case. Do you feel any pain now?”
At Lee Hak-eui’s question, Kim Hyeon-seong shook her head.
“No, it’s nothing. It may not be, but it’s lively enough that you can make an appointment with your friends right now. I don’t think I’ve ever felt so full of energy.”
That was natural.
“I don’t think it has to be, Father.”
“Yes?”
“Because the cancer is gone.”
“… !”
Dazed is daunting, but Lee Hak-eui decided to put this question aside for a while. He didn’t want to ruin that joy just because he was curious in front of a patient who would be more than happy.
“Father, this is a miracle. Miracle!”
“You’re kidding me…”
Lee Hak-ui said with a small smile.
“Father, if there is any doctor playing around with something like this… That person is not qualified to be a doctor. So, you can believe and rejoice.”
“Ah, ah…”
Even Kim Hyeon-seong, who usually never shed tears, felt relieved without even realizing it this time, and tears flowed down his eyes her.
Seeing Kim Hyeon-seong like that, Lee Hak-eui was delighted as if it were his own work his, and explained while returning his monitor to Kim Hyeon-seong.
“As you can see here in the photo on the left, you will definitely see something like a protruding hump. If you give it a color like this, you can see it a little more clearly. You may not believe such a bump, but if you look at the photo on the right taken today, you can see that it has completely disappeared.”
“Yes, yes… Thank you very much.”
“Oh, there is nothing to thank me for. I didn’t do anything. Still, since I don’t know, I’m thinking of doing a little more testing. In my opinion, perhaps the cancer that plagued my father is now completely gone.”
At that, her mother shed tears as she was delighted with her work her, and she asked cautiously.
“But, is this really possible? Obviously there was I could tell from the fact that this gentleman grew emaciated and was in pain every day.”
Lee Hak-ui said.
“Honestly, for now, it’s a ‘miracle’… It is very strange for a doctor to use such a word, but there is no other way to describe it than the word miracle.”
“…”
“Your son has returned with a miracle.”
At those words, Dad and Mom couldn’t help but burst into tears even louder.

[Flies like a bee, stings like a butterfly]
I came more relaxed than usual, and there were already quite a few people working out at the gym. Did everyone get itchy as the Olympics got closer?
Or it could have been because there was no Hwang Bona-young, who made them feel intimidated.
In the beginning, he may have learned boxing just to watch Nayoung, but after a few months… The people who stayed for more than half a year at the longest were probably the ones who stayed because boxing was fun.
‘That’s one of the reasons the Hellins quit health.’
When they tried to do something, they felt intimidated when people who were much better and more skilled than they were doing weights first, and they quickly got tired of doing cardio, so there were many people who quietly quit.
I changed clothes with Noah and came out and warmed up lightly.
And for a while, I spend time watching You Tube with Noah. The video I watched today was a video called ‘The Boxing Skills of a Little Girl’.
“Pupper puck, pup puck! Puff pup pup puck!」
“Wow, what kind of child’s fists are so spicy. Will you become the second Nayoung when you grow up?”
“That, it is not. Dad. Mom is the strongest.”
“Even so, those skills are enough…”
As I was talking, I kept my mouth shut.
Because Noah puffed her cheeks for the first time in her life. Did you know that this child could look like this?
“At least she won’t be called a second mother for this child.”
When Noah said that, there was a determined look on his face.
At least, I can feel the will to never have anyone else call me a nickname related to Hwang Bona-young, even as a joke.
Then she quietly stands in front of the punching bag, and swings her fist in a position similar to that of the child in the video I just watched.
「Puong!」
At that moment, when I saw the punching bag dent and shake with the sound of bullets exploding, I quickly corrected my words.
“At least as long as you do boxing, no one will be called the second Nayoung.”
“Yes! Leave it to Noah!”
She didn’t say it with the intention of entrusting it, but it would be okay if Noah was happy like that.
On the other hand, Nayoung is not there today either.
I took it easy and looked back on what I had learned so far, taking slow steps and wielding jabs, uppercuts, and straights.
At first, the steps were twisted, and I couldn’t even punch properly.
Definitely much better than the first.
‘Even so, I still couldn’t put a clean hit on Nayoung…’
However, that was because it was Hwang Bona-young.
People watching from the side never know.
The absolute pressure that can only be felt when stepping on the ring and the huge wall caused by the difference in level.
‘Genius is right.’
At first, I thought it was just the difference between pros and ordinary people.
However, as the field of boxing broadened little by little, it was Hwang Bona-young that made him despair more and more.
When I think of a kid like that getting stressed while listening to the advice of a manager or coach who isn’t old enough now, I get a fever for no reason.
[Ah, isn’t that overthinking?]
[Still, you are a national team coach and a national team coach, so why would you lead a player in a bad direction?]
I wish I did too.
I always feel that humans are more stupid animals than you think.
“Here you go, mister.”
“… Me?”
“Yes, there is someone besides you. You must be very sad because Nayoung is not here today, would you like to spar with us?”
What are you doing up to this point?
“Aren’t you very sad that there is no one to beat you up? We will hang out instead of your girlfriend.”
Let’s look at it because I’m calm, if you dare to add words that scratch people’s nerves.
You can see how nasty the real human heart is.
Those kids just want me to be worse than them or weaker somehow.
But what… Nothing bad for me either.
I was usually quiet because I was paying attention to Nayoung and the director.
Because I wasn’t a very nice person either.
“It would be very embarrassing to get beaten up by someone who started boxing less than a month ago. Are you okay?”
“You look at people so funny,haha.”
“Because it’s funny.”
“…”
Watching the two men harden their faces at my words, I smiled and cautiously climbed onto the ring. Then, I lifted up my exclusive headgear, boxing gloves, and mouthpiece, which I had completed ordering, and said.
“If you want to hit me, would you like to come up?”
“Let’s do it lightly, lightly.”
It’s not the face of a person who says lightly, but I just finished my preparations leisurely and waited.
To be honest, you might be curious about sparring with me, but I was also curious about sparring with someone other than Hwang Bo Na-young.
To be honest, I’ve been sparring every single day since I started boxing, but who hasn’t gotten their fists right?
It is more forgiving that I did not give up boxing.
「Tak-tak!」
A man wearing red headgear and red gloves punched a few times in front of me and said cautiously.
“Because sparring is originally about hitting and hitting each other. Let’s not get too carried away.”
“OK.”
After taking a few deep breaths with those words, we stood in the middle and waited for the start.
“Vox!”
With the cry of the man who served as referee, the door opened and the director came in. It’s because the eyes were sold there for a while.
“Puck!”
From the start, he couldn’t raise his guard properly and was hit with a left jab right in the face.
The absurd attack allowed, if I was hit with a direct hit by Hwang Bona-young like this normally, no matter how much I say it, I would have stumbled and squealed and backtracked.
“…”
Took, I casually slapped the other person’s left arm and looked at him with a sullen look.
The man is smiling as if he’s satisfied with his jab.
On the other hand, I was astounded as I was and had nothing to say.
‘How many more should I hit?’
Although I knew that I had the specs of a post-human after the level of blessing rose from low to intermediate.
It was also true that there were not enough test subjects.
My fists tickled a moment ago, I deliberately loosened my guard and slowly moved forward.
“Puff puck, puck!”
Two clean left-handed jabs hit him with a right straight. He didn’t really care if he hit him in the chin or in the face.
No, to be honest… I didn’t even feel the need to.
“…”
Even though I looked at the boxing glove that was blocking my vision, I still wasn’t impressed.
It’s a new feeling, but Hwang Bona-young was definitely strong.
The fist she wielded had destructive power that could not come from a woman’s muscular strength. I guess that’s what talent is.
On the other hand, this guy seems to be doing his best.
It was funny.
“…”
A joke
「Percussion!」
“… !”
Casually, I lightly punched the guy who was blocking my view. Then, as if it were bouncing off, he bent his knees and stepped forward with an open view.
“Whoa!”
The distance that would never have narrowed normally is now narrowing in an instant, as if it were child’s play.
If it were Hwang Bo-na-yeong, I would have easily escaped from my field of vision with a side step as I advanced and at the same time blown a check counter.
Maybe this bastard has glue applied to his legs his, and he is stuck in place.
‘Sometime, let me feel the taste of hitting people too.’
I was started and looked at the guy who urgently raised his guard and smiled.
Yeah, I really wanted to try something like this.
Beating behind the guard.
I deliberately swung my fist over the guard, not the open side.
“Paaang!”
“… !”
I laughed again when I saw the guard open since it was cool in just one shot.
Oh, how does it feel?
