Suppressing the bleak emotions, she bit her lower lip and endured. The doctor, who had been examining the stern expression of the department head, raised his eyeglasses.
“And… you should prepare mentally now. Originally, we planned to continue cancer treatment and perform surgery as the tumor decreased in size. However, due to significant side effects of the cancer treatment and the patient’s inability to endure it physically.”
The department head forced a smile. It was late, but she nodded to the doctor.
Soon, the doctor left quietly, and the door to the hospital room closed. The department head took off her glasses and wiped her eyes.
Her heart was heavy, but she had mentally prepared to send her mother off several times. She had thought countless times that it would be better for her mother to find comfort in this pain than to live in agony.
She pulled out the guardian chair, took a seat, and held her mother’s hand.
“Please endure a little longer. As your mother wishes, I’ll gather all the people from our hometown when it’s time for the funeral.”
Her mother, who had been missed by hometown friends a few months ago, had gone to university and left her hometown at the age of 20, but her mother had remained there.
Even when they later settled in an apartment in Sodang and lived together, she had drawn her hometown, praising her son.
On the day her banner was hung on the gate of her hometown high school, her mother never forgot. Even though her husband was gone, and she suffered a lot, her mother laughed innocently, saying that if there was anything to be proud of, it was that she had become a big deal, and her hometown friends had looked at her differently.
On the day her mother left, she wanted to send her off grandly, not lonely or pitiful. If Nam-tae wins in the upcoming election, there will be plenty of mourners just by looking at him.
Her phone vibrated. It was from Nam-tae’s secretary. The department head composed her voice.
“Yes.”
[Assistant, the representative urgently asks you to come to the hometown.]Since leaving the party, she had brought in a secretary. She had come to the hospital directly after today’s event. She wondered what had bothered him again.
“This secretary. I’ll call the representative back.”
[Hold on a moment.]Behind the surprised voice of the secretary.
[This is the department head.]Nam-tae’s voice intervened.
“Yes, Representative. What happened?”
[Today, a journalist followed me to a place I visited. I don’t know where he heard what nonsense, but whether to catch the guy spreading rumors or to deal with the journalist, something needs to be done.]“Representative. I’m sorry, but I’ll come to see you early tomorrow morning. My mother is currently…”
Unexpectedly, Nam-tae’s laughter interrupted the department head’s words.
“[Your mother must have had a hard time struggling financially. Taking care of her son in the midst of it, how difficult it must have been.]”
“…….”
“[If it weren’t for the insurance, would there have been no room to breathe? I’m fortunate to have it. Don’t you think so?]”
Or how would they have handled all those hospital expenses? A sinister voice pierced into the ears.
The department head stood up and gently covered her mother’s body with a thin blanket that seemed to be no more than a handful. Only the lips on the cold face, which seemed as if it might wither at any moment, twisted slightly.
“I’ll go right away.”
After ending the call with Nam-tae, she hastily called the caregiver who must be resting somewhere. As the department head was about to turn away from her mother’s body, she felt her chin and arm being held.
Her mother, who had just awakened, shook her eyes vigorously.
“Son, are you leaving? Don’t go tonight, stay by Mom’s side. I’m scared.”
Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Intro:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
***
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
***
Yan Jiyue was consumed with jealousy. He spread rumors that Xie Yi had once been branded with the mark of a “harlot” on his chest.
But on the night Xie Yi cut off the flesh bearing that mark, Su Mu suddenly realized something was amiss.
“How did you know the exact moment I was poisoned? And why did you show up a month early?”
Xie Yi remained silent, blood from his wound soaking through his robes. His sapphire eyes brimmed with anguish – or was it just a flawless act?
Between a once-arrogant husband now seeking redemption, and a gentle soul willing to die for her – who truly held the darkest secrets? And could it be that Su Mu and Yan Jiyue weren’t the only ones given a second chance at life…?
