The atmosphere in the hospital in London looks very busy as usual, especially in the Emergency Room, several nurses are seen running here and there carrying the requested equipment, as well as the doctors who look very busy taking care of the incessant patients.

Like this time, two paramedics came pushing an ambulance stretcher that was ridden by a man who was covered in wounds and looked unconscious, a paramedic was on top of him while continuing to pump the man's chest.

One of the nurses and the doctor immediately approached the paramedics and led them to one of the empty beds to transfer the patient.

"A traffic accident, the patient was initially conscious but suddenly fainted and had a cardiac arrest when the ambulance arrived at the hospital," said one of the paramedics explaining when they were moving the patient.

One of the nurses immediately went to get the defibrillator when she heard this, and the doctor who was there immediately started shocking his heart.

"He returns!" said the doctor after looking at the heart monitor which again had an up and down line.

However, even though they had gotten his heart rate back, they knew that this was not over, the patient was still in his critical condition.

"It seems the patient has to be operated on, who is the surgeon on duty at this time?" asked the doctor after examining the patient's condition. He was still a resident and didn't have much experience to perform surgery.

"Doctor Sarah."

"Prepare the operating room and call doctor Sarah!"

***

A woman just came to the hospital wearing a jacket and carrying a cup of coffee in her hand, she smiled when several nurses, even doctors greeted her with respect.

After being a resident for three years, she has finally become a surgeon in one of London's most renowned hospitals.

While heading to the place to change clothes, the woman saw a nurse running and seemed to be heading towards her.

"Doctor Sarah!" called the nurse while catching her breath from running around.

"What is it?" Sarah asked tensely. She could already imagine the reason the nurse was running towards her, but Sarah still wanted to try to deny it. She had just arrived and hadn't even finished her coffee.

"Doctor is needed in operating room three! There is an emergency patient!" said the nurse.

Sarah sighed, looking like she was going to finish her coffee again later. Hurriedly, she headed straight for the changing room to change her clothes.

***

Not long after, Sarah finally ran to the operating room in a blue dress, complete with a mask, and a head covering. Once inside, she washed her hands first to sterilize her hands, and went into the operating room.

A nurse immediately approached Sarah and helped her put on gloves and a surgical gown.

"Patient's condition?" Sarah asked as she was being helped.

"The patient is a man in his 30s, had a traffic accident, had a cardiac arrest and seemed to have internal bleeding," said the doctor who had examined the patient's condition.

Sarah nodded when she heard this and finally walked over to the patient to immediately operate on him.

However, when Sarah's gaze fell upon the patient's face, Sarah was frozen in place. The face that was closing its eyes looked familiar. She hadn't seen that man's face in a long time, but she would never forget that man's face.

"Michael? My patient is Michael?" Sarah thought, recognizing the man.

The man was her ex-husband, they were divorced three years ago. She thought she would never see that bastard again in her life, but how could she meet her ex-husband on the operating table?

"Is this the chance I was given to be able to kill him? I still clearly remember that time I swore to kill him someday! Should I pretend I accidentally cut a vein and let him die of bleeding?" Sarah thought as she began to think about how to get Michael dead without jeopardizing her status as a surgeon.

"Doctor Sarah?"

The sound of the doctor calling her made Sarah immediately regain her senses.

"Sorry," Sarah cleared her throat, "We're about to start the operation. Scalpel!"

***

Sarah came out of the operating room and immediately threw away the mask she was wearing. Her face looked troubled.

"I should have killed him!" thought Sarah, regretting her decision to save Michael.

She did have the intention to kill her ex-husband, but on second thought, she was a doctor who had taken an oath to cure patients who came and saw them as patients, without prejudice.

Sarah sighed and walked straight out of the operating room, she had to go get her coffee.

"Doctor? How's my son doing?"

As soon as Sarah left, she was immediately approached by a husband and wife who seemed to have been waiting for someone to come out of the operating room.

Sarah was a little surprised, not expecting that someone was waiting for Michael's surgery. Wasn't he a patient who had a traffic accident? Have they managed to get his identity and contact his family?

"Sarah? Aren't you Sarah?" asked the old man who recognized Sarah first.

His wife, who had looked worried, immediately looked at Sarah closely when she heard her husband's words, her face immediately changed as soon as she realized that in front of her was Sarah.

"You're right! This is Sarah. Wait a minute, did you operate my son?!" cried the old woman who suddenly felt irritated.

"The operation went smoothly, now the patient has been transferred, we just have to wait for the patient to wake up," replied Sarah with a professional smile.

"Look at her impolite behavior! Are you pretending not to recognize us?" cried the old woman, pointing at Sarah.

"Ah! Forgive me! How could I not recognize Mrs. Collins? Your face has changed a lot since the last time we met. Should I give you a good Dermatologist contact? You can get a discount if you say my name," Sarah replied with a sweet smile.

"W-What? Look at you starting to talking back to my words! What do you mean I have grown old?!" the woman screamed again.

This time, Sarah didn't care anymore, she just looked at the old man who was beside his wife and nodded her head and quickly left the place.

Sarah held her hand which was unconsciously shaking.

"You are a different person now, Sarah. You are already a surgeon!" Sarah thought to brace herself. She didn't expect that she would still be afraid when she saw her ex-mother-in-law.

Sarah, who was heading to the changing room to get her coffee, immediately changed her direction to look for the resident doctor who had joined the operation with her earlier.

She had tried not to be afraid, but she had better stay away, she couldn't see Michael's family again when Michael woke up, and told the doctor to do it.

Sarah immediately smiled as soon as Alex-the doctor nodded in understanding. However, Sarah had no idea that in the next few hours, she would see Michael and his family again.

"What?!"

Sarah raised her eyebrows when she heard Alex who suddenly came to meet her in her room.

"The family of the patient who was in a traffic accident insists that you made a mistake during the operation and intends to sue you," said Alex, repeating his words once more.

"What nonsense are they saying! You know that the operation was successful! You were there with me!" said Sarah raising her voice.

During her time as a surgeon, the success of the operation was not 100%, she had misdiagnosed and even failed to save her patient, which made her patient die on the operating table.

But, the operation she did earlier on her ex-husband wasn't wrong at all! So how can they accuse her of making a mistake and intend to sue her.

"Yeah, I've told them many times, but the patient's mother insisted on it," said Alex quietly.

Sarah snorted when she heard that. She should have guessed it must have been Mrs Collins.

"Alright, I'll go see them."

Sarah sighed. She didn't really want to see them anymore, but it couldn't be helped, it seemed she had to face her ex-husband and his family one more time.

***

"Huh! See! She finally came here! Do you think you can get away with it after mistaking my son's surgery? You won't be able to do it! I will sue you!" shouted Mrs. Collins as soon as Sarah entered the room occupied by Michael.

Sarah took a deep breath to calm herself, then immediately smiled.

"I don't know what you mean but…"

"Wifey!"

Sarah did not immediately continue her words when she heard the voice she had not heard for a long time, she immediately turned her head and saw Michael who had just emerged from behind the bathroom door.

"Wifey!" said Michael once more, then immediately walked over to Sarah and hugged her.

On reflex, Sarah immediately pushed him away.

"Why did you push me?" asked Michael looking hurt.

"See! You must be doing this on purpose, right?! How can my son call you that when you are divorced!" snapped Mrs Collins.

When Michael finally woke up, he suddenly asked about Sarah. Mrs Collins immediately asked why Michael was looking for Sarah, to which Michael immediately replied, "What do you mean? She is my wife, am I wrong to ask where my wife is?" by rolling his eyes.

Mr and Mrs Collins looked at each other, confused by Michael's attitude. Mrs. Collins then informed him that Michael and Sarah got divorced, but Michael insisted that he had not been married to Sarah long, how could they have divorced.

Hearing this, Mrs Collins suddenly became irritated. Why would his son suddenly say something like that? Something must have gone wrong with Michael's surgery, and it was Sarah's fault, the one who operated on her son!

"What did you say just now?" Sarah asked again.

"Wifey? Ah! Are you embarrassed because papa and mama are here?" said Michael who smiled again when he understood why Sarah's attitude suddenly pushed him, she must be embarrassed. "But we're already married, it's only natural for me to call you that," he muttered under his breath, pursing his lips.

Sarah's eyes opened wide when she saw Michael's expression. Did he just purse his lips? It didn't match the Michael she'd ever remembered.

"So you think we're married," Sarah said, then grabbed Michael's arm and motioned for him to sit on the bed.

Michael nodded and sat on his bed.

"How long have we been married?" Sarah asked, starting to find out what Michael was really remembering.

"Hmm… three months," Michael said after a while.

"Do you know why you are here?"

Michael fell silent again.

"Don't know, I just heard I had an accident."

"Do you know what day it is?"

Michael fell silent again, then shook his head. He also did the same when Sarah asked for today's date.

"Are you done checking me out? I'm fine," said Michael who was starting to feel annoyed that Sarah kept asking him.

So what if he doesn't know today's day and date? He just needed to check his cellphone to see it.

"Yeah, but let me check on you one more time, to make sure you're okay," Sarah said then told Michael to follow her.

Based on Michael's answer, the man seemed to have amnesia, but things would become clearer once she saw Michael's MRI scan.

***

"Sarah, what happened to Michael?"

Mr. Collins looked at Sarah who was sitting in front of him, a worried look on his face.

"Do you need to ask again? Of course this is the act of this impolite child. She deliberately turned Michael like that! How come out of all the doctors in this hospital, my son was operated on by a doctor like this?" said Mrs Collins with a sigh.

Sarah's brow furrowed when she heard Mrs. Collins' words.

"Patience ... patience ..." she said in her heart not to be provoked and be unprofessional.

"Stop it, Sarah is a surgeon and not a resident anymore," said Mr Collins.

"Hah! Everyone can be a surgeon too! I'm sure she can work in this hospital after flirting with the hospital's leader!"

"This is Michael's MRI Scan!" Sarah cut in quickly. She couldn't bear to hear Mrs. Collins speaks to her anymore. It was still her working hours, so she had to act professional.

Sarah then shows what goes on in Michael's head, and how it should look.

"It looks like the patient's head hit, but thankfully it wasn't too serious and only made the patient experience amnesia, he only remembers what happened five years ago and doesn't remember what happened after that. But don't worry too much, he can still carry on as usual," Sarah explained.

"But it's best not to make the patient remember what he doesn't remember, otherwise it will confuse him, it can also be shocking for him. Currently there is no medicine to treat patients with amnesia, but it shouldn't last long, don't worry," continued Sarah.

"What?! So you mean we should just leave our son alone?!" said Mrs. Collins, disapprovingly.

"Like I said before, there is no medicine that can treat amnesia, the patient will regain his memory after a while."

"Then what if the memory doesn't come back?!" cried Mrs. Collins.

"Then it looks like you'll see me often," Sarah said with a sweet smile, making Mrs. Collins look very annoyed.

Sarah chuckled at that.

"I'm kidding, you guys can take the patient to a neurologist and get further treatment."

However, Sarah had no idea what she had said to Mrs. Collins to upset her, had actually come true.

Sarah stretched her stiff body as she walked towards her room. Today was really very tiring for her, apart from being emotionally drained from meeting her ex-husband, she helped with the surgery in the emergency room because today she didn't have an operation scheduled.

As a result, it was still 3 pm, but she was tired and wanted to go home.

"Mr Collins?" Sarah's eyes widened when she saw the old man who was standing leaning against the door of her room. She hurriedly approached the old man.

"Mr Collins? Why are you here? Can I help you?" asked Sarah curiously.

She had already explained everything that had happened to Michael, was there anything else he wanted to ask?

"Sarah… ah, Doctor Sarah," corrected Mr. Collins with a smile. "Are you busy? Can we talk for a bit?" he continued.

"You can call me Sarah," Sarah replied with a smile.

Sarah then looked at the watch she was using, at least she had 10-15 minutes that she could use to rest for a while.

"Okay. Shall we talk in the cafeteria? I'd like to bite some food," Sarah asked.

"Sure," replied Mr Collins.

Soon, Mr. Collins and Sarah had taken their seats at one of the hospital cafeteria tables, and Sarah immediately excused herself to order her food.

"This is Mr Collins, black coffee, no sugar," Sarah said, handing the old man the cup of coffee she ordered while she ordered ice tea and a sandwich.

"Ah… you don't have to bother," said Mr Collins, but his face was smiling. Black coffee without sugar is his favorite drink, Sarah seems to still remember it.

Sarah just smiled when she saw the old man's expression.

"So what do you want to talk about? By the way, I'm eating, okay?" Sarah said then took her sandwich and started eating it.

"Yes, please. That… I want to ask for a favor."

Sarah raised her eyebrows when she heard that.

"Favor? What is it? If I can do it, I will," replied Sarah with a smile.

"That…" Mr Collins looked a little hesitant, "Can you pretend to be Michael's wife again?"

"Cough cough"

Sarah immediately choked on hearing that, she hurriedly took her tea and drank it.

"What?!" asked Sarah in surprise.

"Like you said, we can't force memories that Michael didn't remember and he still remembers that you're still his wife," explained Mr Collins.

Sarah nodded slowly, she did say that, but that doesn't mean she wants to be that bastard's wife again, even if it's just pretend!

"You also said that there is no medicine that can help restore his memory, but you do know how to deal with an amnesiac patient to restore his memory, right? So you can help him when you two live together again," continued Mr Collins.

Sarah nodded her head again, she did say that.

"Sorry Mr Collins, I can't seem to help you," Sarah replied firmly.

Michael and she had ended three years ago, and Sarah had absolutely no intention of dealing with her ex-husband again.

"Ah! Have you remarried?" asked Mr Collins carefully. He had asked for it, but had forgotten to ask if Sarah had remarried or not.

"No, I'm still single. But I will still refuse," said Sarah firmly.

After the divorce, Sarah focused her life on her career and never got into a romantic relationship, or thought about remarrying. Although some men had chased after her.

"I'm begging you, Sarah. It's my fault that Michael got into an accident like this," said Mr Collins quietly. His face looks sad.

Sarah raised an eyebrow, but she just kept quiet.

"Actually… I have a brain tumor, but I kept it a secret from my family because I didn't want to worry them."

Sarah's eyes widened and her mouth opened slightly when she heard that.

Mr. Collins just smiled faintly when he saw Sarah's reaction.

"Because I didn't want to do the treatment and kept ignoring the calls from my doctor, he ended up calling the company, thinking that I was still CEO of the company, but Michael had taken my place, and he finally found out and went straight to me to ask about it."

"We had a bit of a fight before he finally left, I think it was because of that until he ended up in an accident."

Sarah fell silent when she heard this, she looked at Mr Collins who now looked older than she had last remembered.

Unlike Mrs. Collins who was always mean to her, Mr. Collins was always kind to her.

Sarah is very grateful to her ex father-in-law who has made her feel what it feels like to be a father's love.

And now the person she had considered like her own father, had a brain tumor?

"You have to do the surgery, it's still curable" said Sarah, who unconsciously started to tear up.

Mr Collins shook his head slowly.

"The risk is high. I want to spend the rest of my time well, rather than dying in the operating room," said Mr Collins.

"Is the tumor in a difficult place? Ah, no, let's do a scan. I'll see for myself," Sarah said and was ready to stand up from her place.

"Sarah," said Mr Collins softly, touching her hand.

Making Sarah sit back in her chair

"I know I'm being selfish right now, but can you grant my request? I'm afraid Michael's memory won't come back and he has to know my situation once again, he also has to lead the company," he said while looking at Sarah gently.

"I really don't know what happened between you and Michael, but I really regret that you guys have to divorce. I even scolded him for letting you go. You know I really love you," said Mr Collins sincerely.

Hearing this, the tears that Sarah had been trying to hold back finally came out.

She knew that Mr Collins had truly loved her, like a father to his daughter, and the only thing Sarah regretted when she divorced was that she could no longer feel the fatherly love she had from Mr Collins.

When Mrs. Collins always told her to come over to their house to make breakfast and clean up, even though Sarah had to go to work at that time, Mr. Collins always defended her and told her to go to work immediately, even thanks to Mr. Collins, Sarah didn't have to do that troublesome task anymore.

"I beg of you, Sarah. Consider this my last request. Please help Michael restore his memory by pretending to be his wife again," begged Mr Collins.

Hearing the word of last request, made Sarah cry even more.

She really didn't want to have anything to do with that bastard ex-husband again, but on the other hand, she couldn't ignore a request from the person she was so grateful for and was like her own father.

What should Sarah do?
