On this day, the appearance of a brain-dead patient gave Kim Gwang-ok hope for a liver transplant, but the situation became critical again when the brain-dead patient’s family withdrew their intention to donate right before the surgery.Han Geum-ju, who decided that she could not just wait for the next opportunity, continued to exercise every day and lowered her levels in a short period of time despite the diagnosis that her fatty liver level was not enough for a transplant, and was eventually judged to be suitable.

However, the one who actually blocked the surgery was none other than Kim Gwang-ok.He stubbornly refused to put a knife on his daughter’s body because of him, and he did not open his mind even to the persuasion of his family.Then, Seo Ui-jun told her how much effort Han Geum-ju had put into the surgery and persuaded her to have the surgery for Han Geum-ju’s sake.In the end, Kim Gwang-ok shed tears and hugged Han Geum-ju, and finally decided to have the surgery.

As the surgery was successfully completed, the tense atmosphere of Geum-ju’s family regained peace.Geum-ju Han planned a birthday date to express her gratitude to Seo Ui-jun, who took care of her throughout her hospitalization, and the two became closer as they spent the exciting day together.


However, unlike Han Geum-ju, who confirmed the warm family love, Seo Ui-jun had dark memories that night.Seo Ui-jun had a nightmare where he was haunted by the visions of his alcoholic father and the nurse who collapsed during the chaos.When he woke up and realized that the day the nurse passed away was the same day as his birthday, Seo Ui-jun fell into deep guilt as he recalled how happy he had been for a moment.

Meanwhile, at the same time, Han Geum-ju encounters Seo Ui-jun’s past in a completely unexpected place.The hospital that Seo Ui-jun brought Kim Gwang-ok to was where Seo Ui-jun worked in the past, and she overheard that his father had caused a disturbance and killed a nurse.Han Geum-ju, who felt that the situation was not good, searched for related articles herself and was shocked to find that the date of the accident was exactly the same as Seo Ui-jun’s birthday.

After that, Han Geum-ju went to find Seo Ui-jun.Seo Ui-jun went to the nurse’s columbarium and fell into deep self-reproach, saying that it was because of him that this happened, and that he did not deserve to be happy.Han Geum-ju approached Seo Ui-jun, who was looking at her with surprised eyes, and quietly comforted him, saying, “It’s not your fault.So don’t blame yourself.” Seo Ui-jun finally burst into tears that he had been holding back.

In addition, suspicious circumstances surrounding Seo Ui-jun’s father, who left him with deep trauma, were also revealed.Seo Ui-jun had a hard time finding the person who had done medical volunteer work while his father was in prison, but all he got back was the answer, “We have already lost contact.”

However, this person was the director who had been hiding Seo Ui-jun’s father in the basement of the nursing home together with head nurse Baek Hye-mi(played by Bae Hae-sun), who had previously been by Seo Ui-jun’s side.The suspicion about the head nurse and the director of the nursing home hiding Seo Ui-jun’s father is becoming deeper.
