Chris was splattered with hot oil?
If anything happens to Chris... I...
Her burns have penetrated the inner skin.
Oh...
Regarding scarring...
How is it?!
Some of it might stay.
Naoki!
What's wrong, Naoki? You're acting strange.
What's all this, Kotoko?
Naoki has a long surgery tonight.
I thought I'd bring him a nutritious meal.
Naoki!
You just finished your surgery, right? Great work!
So, I wanted to bring you something nutritious...
that will give you stamina...
Ouch...
Naoki...
Naoki?
Naoki!
No!
Naoki! Naoki!
Naoki!
Naoki! Open your eyes!
Kotoko!
What's going on?
Moto-chan...
I just heard at the nurse's station...
What happened?
Naoki...
Naoki fell from the stairs, trying to break my fall... It's my fault!
What if he dies?
Come on. Calm down.
What did the doctor say?
Dr. Nishigaki just told me to get out of the room.
He wouldn't let me in.
Naoki is unconscious. He hit his head...
What do I do? It's my fault...
What if he dies because of me?
I... won't...
Kotoko!
Calm down.
You're a nurse, aren't you?
You can't panic like this.
You're Dr. Irie's wife.
You have to be strong!
It's okay, Dr. Nishigaki is one of the best doctors here.
Okay...
Please God!
Save Naoki...
Please save him!

Episode 15 [Tearful Proposal]
Ouch...
I remember...
Kotoko and food...
So my leg...
is broken.
You're up, Naoki!
Thank goodness!
You know...
You broke your leg yesterday.
I can see that.
You were sleeping all this time...
You're here to take my temperature right?
Oh, yeah...
Put this under your arm.
May I see your arm?
I have to draw blood and give you two IV's.
What's the diagnosis?
Simple fracture of the lower right leg.
It's terribly swollen, so until it goes down...
you'll be hospitalized with mandatory bed rest.
In addition, fatigue-induced
anemia, sleep deprivation and malnutrition...
It's overwork.
Lack of sleep, overwork, malnutrition, anemia.
He's not unconscious. He's fast asleep.
There's nothing wrong with his brain.
He'll recover in two months.
Kotoko?
You didn't pass out because you hit your head.
It was overwork.
Overwork?
It's my fault! I tired you out!
Kotoko.
You became anemic and broke your leg
all because of me!
So... so... so...
I want to take full responsibility and take care of you.
I'll be your legs!
Hey...
It's my duty as a nurse and your wife!
Open wide.
Come on! Open wide!
I said I can feed myself!
You just broke your leg! Don't push it!
It's my leg that's broken.
Patients must listen to the nurse.
Open up. Come on!
I got that! Nice shot!
Mom!
I brought your stuff.
Konomi.
You came.
Yes.
She insisted on coming.
You asked me to come with you...
Shut up!
Just admit it!
Naoki, you're so lame.
Falling down the stairs.
Mother, I'm the one that fell and Naoki tried to...
...catch his beloved wife!
Where's your triple flip landing?
I'm not some circus act...
Oh my god!
So it's true!
We heard and came running!
Chris. Kin-chan.
You tried to save Kotoko and got hurt instead.
How unfortunate.
How lame, Irie! You should be ashamed!
Okay, Naoki. Time to draw blood.
Wow!
It's Nightingale Kotoko.
Okay.
Draw my blood, too.
Let's see you at work, Kotoko.
Here we go.
Give me your arm.
Aren't there any other nurses?
Why? I'm right here.
Okay...
First, some alcohol.
It'll feel cold a bit.
Okay.
Just a little prick.
- Here! - Ouch!
Huh? It's not going in. I'm sorry.
The needle is supposed to go under the skin!
Sorry. One more time.
This time... Here we go.
Don't maul me!
There! Success.
Success? How long did that take you?
Because, I was so nervous drawing your blood.
What if I failed?
Don't worry. You did.
The IV is next.
The needle is already in! I'm not your pin cushion!
Oh, yeah...
Oops...
So Naoki's hospital stay began...
I'll peel an apple for you.
It's ok. Just leave it.
Ouch!
Are you okay?
What beautiful weather...
Isn't it nice outside, Naoki?
The birdies...
Kotoko! Watch out!
Sorry, Naoki. I wasn't looking...
Don't get so mad.
Let's move on!
I'm focusing all my energy on taking care of Naoki, but...
I'm a failure as a nurse and wife...
Okay.
Good morning!
'Morning.
Blood pressure, 104 over 76.
Sorry I woke you up last night.
It's fine.
I'm used to it.
You were on the night shift. Are you done now?
Yeah.
Can you put this on my desk before you leave?
Okay. I'll put it on your desk.
Thanks.
Okay!
Excuse me.
Hi, Kotoko.
Oh.
Naoki asked me to put this on his desk.
It's right there.
How is he?
He's doing better.
Irie is so lucky to have such a cute wife to care for him.
You're just saying that because it's true!
Sorry!
Where's a rag?
Looks like it's okay...
It's legible. I'm sure once it's dried out...
Right?
Right.
Good morning, Dr. Irie. Here's your breakfast.
Thanks. What's up with you for getting this to me?
Kotoko is blocking all the other nurses from entering your room.
No one can come near you.
Really?
By the way...
Kotoko's not here yet. That's unusual.
In that case, let me feed you.
Hold it right there!
I'm Naoki's private nurse!
That's my job!
Such a commotion for first thing in the morning.
I'll take care of him today.
Open wide, Dr. Irie!
Like I said, my hands are fine...
I wanted you to eat this.
Ta-da!
It smells like pure garlic!
Fried cutlet with garlic scrambled eggs.
Fried chicken and garlic barbeque meat.
Okra salad. Sticky stuff is good for you.
For breakfast?
You couldn't eat my meal the other night.
Actually, that was the reason you broke your leg...
But I'll make you breakfast every morning.
- Every morning? - Yes! I bet you can't wait!
Ms. Irie! Are you still dilly-dallying around here?
Nurse Shimizu...
I know you're his wife
but finish your duties first!
You deliberately missed our meeting too!
You're supposed to change Mr. Sakamoto's sheets!
I'm sorry...
- Go! - Yes...
See you later, Naoki.
How powerful she is...
Do you have a minute, Irie?
What is it, Dr. Kato?
It's about Mr. Kusakabe's surgery...
He has esophageal cancer so...
I think esophageal resection and restoration would be appropriate.
Oh, I see. Yes.
I'm sorry I can't operate with this broken leg.
No, you need the rest.
And...
I wrote down some notes on the surgical procedure.
They're on my desk.
That will be helpful. On your desk, right?
Yes, on my desk.
Huh? On your desk...
Dr. Kato?
It's midnight.
I'm sure Naoki's sleeping.
I'll just take a peek at his face.
He's sleeping well. How cute.
Good night, Naoki.
You scared me. Were you up?
I wanted to ask you something.
What?
What is this?
This should dry it out quickly.
It will dry on its own.
But I want it to dry nicely.
I see.
Okay...
This... is...
What did you try to do?
I wanted to be of use to you.
Don't do anything I don't ask you to do!
Thankfully I remembered everything.
Never touch a doctor's desk!
It could be a matter of life or death!
I'm sorry!
I never thought this would happen...
I wanted to ease your burden...
but I spilled coffee on it... and caused trouble for Dr. Kato too.
Everything I do just makes more work for you...
I love you but...
I love you so much but...
But I keep getting you tired and even injured...
I'm bad luck for you...
No matter what...
I'll always...
be a failure as your wife.
Then that wouldn't apply just for you. Me too.
I couldn't even catch you.
Look what happened to me.
But...
I failed as your husband.
Naoki...
I should have caught my wife
and did a triple-flip landing.
While I've been here
I realized how patients feel
and how hard you work.
A nurse and her patient...
This...
is kind of sexy.
Naoki's leg was healing nicely
thanks to the power of my love.
- Proposal? - Shh! Don't talk so loud!
I'm not even talking loud.
Listen, Irie...
When you...
proposed to Kotoko, what did you say?
I don't really want to know...
but you can tell me if you want to.
Well... it was the day she rejected you.
Huh?
It was spur of the moment, in front of family.
I said, "I'm marrying her."
Mr. Aihara, I need to talk to you.
You should change your clothes first...
I would like to...
to marry your daughter.
Naoki!
Spur of the moment? Without asking Kotoko first?
I didn't need her approval. I knew she'd say yes.
What an ego...
Did that help?
Hell no!
Forget it!
Kin-chan!
Kin-chan! What's happening?
He's going to propose to Chris.
I see.
What...
What?!
Rea... Really?
Wow, Kin-chan. Finally... He's going to propose to Chris!
She'll be so happy.
They can be happily married. Just like us!
I have to check it out!
There they are!
What do you say, Chris?
I...
can't marry you, Kinnosuke.
What?
Did you just say "you can't?"
Yes.
You can't marry me?
Sorry, Kinnosuke...
Forget...
about me.
Chris!
Why did you refuse Kin-chan's proposal?
Kotoko...
You love him so much! You were waiting for this!
Kotoko... I need a favor...
What?
Do you have plans to break up with Irie?
Huh?
No! Of course not? Are you kidding?
Will you break up with Naoki and marry Kinnosuke?
Huh?
Kinnosuke is a better cook and he's very kind.
And he's a total hunk.
You should remarry Kinnosuke.
Wait...
Kinnosuke has always loved you, Kotoko!
Chris!
Will you do it?
I couldn't stand it if Kinnosuke married anyone else.
It would be best if he married you, Kotoko...
Chris...
This was unexpected.
I know.
Chris won't tell me why she turned him down.
I'm so confused.
He must be even more confused. Poor guy.
She's hiding something.
Kinnosuke, do the prepping...
Aren't you done yet?
Forget it, boss.
Ever since he went to see Chris yesterday
he's been useless.
What?
See?
What the heck happened, Kinnosuke?
I bet Chris turned him down.
Chris turned him down?
I'm not sure, but...
Oh...
Looks like we hit the nail on the head...
What?
But Chris was totally in love with him...
But I know how she feels.
I could never understand why a cute girl like her
would go for a guy like him.
You're right...
And Kinnosuke was so cold to her...
He was taking her love for granted.
You're right.
What if...
another guy showed her a little kindness?
Another guy? Kindness?
Someone who could fill the void in her heart.
Chris would change her mind.
Chris? Change her mind?
Shh! Boss!
Never mind, Kinnosuke.
He always blows things out of proportion.
Why would Chris ever change her...
Kinnosuke?
- Kinnosuke... - Hey, Kinnosuke!
- Kinnosuke! - Hey!
Look what you did, boss!
Who... me?
Want some sweets?
Thank you Mrs. Abe, but...
I'm not really hungry right now.
Come on. Have some with me.
I can't eat it all by myself.
Just one then...
It's good.
See? Sweets always make you happy!
Mrs. Abe...
Mom...
Oh Yuichi!
I happened to come nearby so...
But isn't it a workday?
Yeah.
I just dropped by to see you...
Yuichi! What's wrong with you?
Nothing.
Isn't she cute? Chris is from England.
My name is Christine Robbins.
Your mom has been so kind to me.
Oh... well...
If you're on your way out, will you...
go buy candy from downstairs?
Sure... On the first floor?
I'll show you where it is.
What?
I wanted to buy a box of tissues anyway.
I was shocked.
I went to see my mom and...
You didn't expect to see a blondie?
Well, that too, but...
I never expected to meet such a lovely girl.
Thank you.
It's nice to hear a Japanese man say that.
Do you... have a boyfriend?
Boyfriend?
Of course you do.
Boyfriend...
What's wrong?
I'm sorry. I just remembered something...
Um... are you all right?
That's my Chris!
You made my Chris cry!
Who are you...?
You little pretty boy...
You stole my Chris away and made her cry!
Kinnosuke!
Chris...
Excuse me...
Kin-chan!
I...
I'm really sorry.
I'm sorry!
What got into you, Kin-chan?
Never mind my stupid son.
Stupid son?
We all know how much
Kin-san loves Chris.
He came to see her every day!
He must be busy. It's not easy to do.
Unlike my stupid son.
Ouch!
I'd better get going, mom.
Work hard!
I'm really sorry!
It was totally my mistake.
I thought your son...
was Chris' new boyfriend.
If Chris loved someone else, I'd have to give her up
and wish for her happiness.
But I had to see what kind of guy it was...
Love someone else?
But you...
found someone new. That's why you turned down my proposal.
Proposal?
No! I don't love anyone else!
Then why? What don't you like about me?
I love you, Kinnosuke.
I always dreamt that you'd propose to me.
You took good care of me when I burned my leg.
Of course! Just because I love you!
I'll be scarred for life, but you still proposed.
I was so happy!
Then why?
Yeah! Why did you reject his proposal?
Because... you're feeling pity for me.
Pity?
You're so sweet... You know no one will marry a scarred woman...
So you said that you have to take care of me.
I never...
I know you don't really love me...
I don't want you to marry me out of pity...
Stop that!
Who said anything about pity?
Your burn is nothing between us!
No matter how bad it is... it will never get in our way!
But you proposed so suddenly...
I see.
Will you believe me if I'm scarred like you?
Kin-chan!
Kin-chan...
Let's bring some tea to Dr. Irie while Kotoko's not around...
Where's the kitchen?
Who is that?
Give me that!
No... Don't...
There you are!
Kotoko!
What are you doing, Kin-chan?
I'm going to burn my leg!
Don't! You'll burn yourself!
- No! - That's hot!
Leave me alone Kotoko!
I'm going to be just like Chris!
Sorry, Kinnosuke!
I waited for so long.
You finally proposed to me... and... and...
I refused. I'm sorry... I'm sorry.
Chris...
How could I spend my life with someone out of pity?
Everyone besides Chris knew
that Kin-chan was crazy about her.
Kinnosuke...
What?
Propose to me again.
What?
I want to answer you properly.
Oh my.
Here comes a proposal!
Propose to her properly.
Wait a minute...
With all you old ladies around?
Old ladies?
Don't be shy, Kin-san!
Be a man!
Propose to her!
Kinnosuke...
Well... then...
Let's get married, Chris!
Yes, Kinnosuke...
I love you so much!
I'm so happy!
A kiss! A kiss!
Nice going, Kin-chan!
My blood pressure goes up!
A Kansai-style proposal. How passionate!
Congratulations, Kin-chan and Chris!
Congratulations!
Thanks!
According to Naoki...
Chris misunderstood about the scarring.
There won't be any scars left.
That's how Kin-chan and Chris vowed to get married.
And the day we long awaited...
Congratulations on your recovery!
Congratulations!
What's all this about?
I always wanted to do this. Like you're a celebrity.
Congratulations, Kotoko.
Now you can relax.
The power of love healed him.
Well, maybe...
The days at the hospital deepened our bond...
Now that Naoki is fully recovered
maybe we'll go to a hot spring
for some romantic time alone...
Kotoko! He's going!
Wait, Naoki!
I have lots of work piled up and patients to see this afternoon.
Sorry you had to take part in this.
No problem.
But... Naoki!
He and I are back to business again!
