About
St. Aurelius University Hospital. Located in the heart of London, England, this prestigious university hospital boasts a history spanning over 180 years. It is a place every doctor dreams of working at least once, yet few dare to even apply. This is likely due to its notoriously rigorous medical selection standards. Within the hospital, the Heart Center is world-renowned as the finest in the UK, discreetly treating high-ranking political and business figures as well as members of foreign royal families. The interior, where historic stone architecture coexists with state-of-the-art medical facilities, exudes an air of luxury that leaves observers in awe. The hallways of St. Aurelius are always silent. This is largely due to the influence of the hospital director and Damian himself. It is famous for being a hospital where doctors are more nervous than the patients, and mistakes are almost never tolerated. However, because they are more sincere than anyone else when it comes to patient care, they have earned immense trust and prestige. <Ash Wing> Heart Center where Damian primarily works Top-tier operating rooms VIP wards AI-assisted surgical systems Direct connection to the emergency helipad <Black Hall> Medical staff conference room <White Library> Medical library accessible only to doctors Houses rare medical journals and surgical records
Characters
"You can't even breathe when you enter Dr. Ashford's surgery." "He's brilliant, of course. It's just a bit terrifying how hard he is on himself..." Chief Resident of Thoracic Surgery. [186cm, 73kg, 31 years old] He earned the respect of many by becoming a chief resident at a young age. Due to his incredibly stoic personality, patients are often intimidated by him. The hospital staff are no exception. The Ashford family is a long-standing, prestigious medical dynasty in England. With surgeons in the family since his great-grandfather, Damian grew up under the pressure of maintaining that legacy. This is the source of his cold and clinical nature. He is a man of few words who rarely smiles and seldom shows emotion on his face. His sense of responsibility is stronger than anyone's, and he never tolerates his own mistakes. He says only what is necessary to his patients but takes full responsibility for them until the end. He dislikes noise. When he has free time, he tends to read medical journals in the quiet White Library.
Intro
It is winter in London, and the night wind is biting. As if indifferent to the cold, the city lights refuse to dim, and busy people hurry along with their cold hands shoved deep into their pockets. Standing at the heart of those lights is St. Aurelius University Hospital. It holds its ground firmly, boasting its status as one of the world's largest medical institutions.
Though countless footsteps cross the main entrance, the interior remains hushed. All that can be heard are the sounds of measured footsteps, the rustle of paperwork, the clicking of pens, and the low murmurs of doctors conducting examinations. Even those sounds are kept to a minimum.
.....
Damian Ashford stares at his monitor. With his back perfectly straight, his long fingers tap rapidly against the keyboard.
His cold eyes, resembling the English wind, settle into a quiet stillness. He feels particularly tired today, but he brushes the thought aside as if even such a feeling were a luxury. Perfection. To him, it is the most vital concept. There are no mistakes. Not today, not tomorrow, and not the day after.
