About an hour later, a quiet apology echoed through Dolmaru Animal Hospital.
“I’m really sorry.”
Seol-hee bowed deeply towards the guardian. Her face stiffened.
“No, fortunately, our home is nearby, so we came quickly.”
The guardian of Soon-soon smiled and waved her hand.
Fortunately, when they urgently contacted Choco’s house, which had symptoms of diarrhea, they received a message that they hadn’t administered the medicine yet.
Both guardians quickly came to the hospital, and instead of a consultation fee, the hospital suggested not charging for the medication and offered a sincere apology.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t check.”
With an embarrassed smile, Ih-yeon, with a sleek appearance, spoke to the female guardian. The guardian blushed immediately.
“It’s okay. It could happen.”
“Then, please be careful when you go in.”
“Yes.”
After the guardians returned home, Ih-yeon let out a long sigh.
“Ha. Still, it ended well. There were no complaints, and fortunately, they didn’t take the medicine.”
“Fortunately, but…”
Why did the medicine change?
Seol-hee furrowed her brow.
Although Ih-yeon handed her the medicine simultaneously earlier, it seemed like he had conveyed it as he said. Still, the medicine bags looked the same, so could it be a misunderstanding?
However, Seol-hee checked two or three times just in case she made such a mistake. She had been meticulous since coming to the hospital. However, maybe due to the many patients that morning, her caution had waned.
“Why did the medicine go wrong?”
Ih-yeon, who had been apologizing earnestly when the guardians were there, looked down at Seol-hee with a somewhat awkward smile. The smile had completely disappeared from his face.
“I didn’t make a mistake. Then, what happened?”
Seol-hee bit her lower lip under Ih-yeon’s cool gaze.
There were only Seol-hee and Ih-yeon who touched the medicine. If it wasn’t him, Seol-hee felt his subtle pressure, as he said, from Ih-yeon’s words.
If it wasn’t him, then Seol-hee. She tried to recall the scene of receiving the medicine from him and putting the names on the paper bag, but it didn’t come to mind accurately. It was part of her daily routine, so it wasn’t something she particularly remembered.
She had no memory, and he absolutely denied it.
“…I guess I made a mistake.”
A bitter word slipped from Seol-hee’s lips.
Fortunately, Soon-soon’s guardian was meticulous, so they confirmed before administering the medicine and contacted them. If not, the two dogs could have been in big trouble.
She had made mistakes before, but this was the first time for such a small mistake to lead to such a big problem.
“Why did the medicine go wrong?”
Seol-hee frowned at Ih-yeon’s cold gaze.
She uttered a bitter apology.
“No, it’s okay. Because of me, you apologized and took care of it afterward.”
At Seol-hee’s words, Ih-yeon raised the corner of his mouth.
“Are you that sorry?”
“Yes.”
“Hmm.”
He raised his hand to sweep his own chin. After seeming lost in thought for a moment, he nodded.
“Just with words?”
“Yes?”
“Are you just going to apologize and move on with words?”
“No, it’s not like that. Is there anything I can help you with?”
Upon hearing that, he nodded lightly.
“Yes. It’s something only you can do, Seol-hee. I need your help.”
What could he possibly need help with? Due to Ih-yeon’s cryptic words, Seol-hee became more uneasy. Frowning, she whispered.
“What is it?”
“This evening, do you have time?”
“Yes, I do.”
“What’s going on?”
“While having a cup of tea, I want to talk about something.”
Seol-hee furrowed her brow at Ih-yeon’s words.
Was it related to today? Although she hesitated because she didn’t like Ih-yeon, he had bowed his head to the guardians several times today because of her, so she couldn’t refuse. It could be related to work.
“All right.”
“Then.”
“…”
“I’m looking forward to this evening.”
Today, too, he was unpredictable.
“Ha.”
Lunchtime. Seol-hee sighed deeply as she ate. Either the rice tasted bad, or she sighed while rummaging through the meager side dishes in her packed lunch.
It had been a few months since Seol-hee joined Dolmaru Animal Hospital.
Chae-rin had never seen Seol-hee like this. Seol-hee, who was always cheerful and confident, looked unfamiliar in this state.
Whenever something unpleasant happened at the hospital, Seol-hee was always there to uplift everyone’s spirits.
But today, Seol-hee’s expression was not normal.
She sighed occasionally, and today, too, she couldn’t finish her lunch and closed the lunchbox. Normally, she would have scraped every last bit, chewed with plump lips until the bottom was exposed.
Isn’t eating her thing?
Chae-rin considered asking Seol-hee what was wrong but hesitated. Eventually, she spoke.
“Seol-hee, what’s wrong? Are you sick, perhaps?”
“Yes? Oh, no.”
“Your complexion doesn’t look good. Is there anything bad happening at home?”
“Well, it’s about Dr. Ih-yeon. Oh, no, it’s nothing.”
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
