The fuse in my head that I had barely found its place again dislocated.
Looking at Sori’s shoulder with her lips parted in surprise, he frowned.
Sori, who had momentarily lost her words, asked in surprise.
“But how could… Professor, how can you say such a thing so easily?”
“Do you think I said it easily?”
“Yes.”
“Then let’s go with that.”
“No.”
Marriage is a matter of life.
And I was potentially a leukemia patient to him.
Not knowing what would happen… Not knowing a day ahead…
Rather than being moved by his recklessness, Sori was a bit angry.
“What if I really don’t have much time left? The disease is not a cold.”
“What does that matter? Anyway, you’re going to live.”
His eyes and voice were firm without a hint of wavering.
As if it were true that I was sick, to the point of being a great comfort. To the point of believing in a future where living was certain.
“Professor.”
“Tomorrow, I could have an accident and die in the middle of the road. I could die before you, even though you’re sick.”
Such is life.
He said in a voice devoid of pride.
He was a much colder doctor than I thought, with a hardened heart enough to be calm in front of death.
“And what’s hard about it? You even kissed me at will.”
He cut Sori’s clothes around her shoulder and said in an indifferent voice.
“No, that was because I was drunk.”
“Because you were drunk? Evading like that, it’s too irresponsible.”
The shoulder that was cut and exposed was stained with blood. He ruthlessly wiped the wound with a cotton swab soaked in disinfectant.
Suddenly overwhelmed by intense pain, Sori bit her lip.
“Ahugh! Ah, it hurts so much.”
An unexpected severe pain caused cold sweat to break out instantly.
“That’s right. If it hurts, say it hurts. Do that to me from now on.”
Sori, who had always been busy solving everything alone, thought it was a virtue to endure.
I didn’t want to be petulant to my mother who raised me alone.
It didn’t suit my constitution to whine about being tired.
“If you’re a person I trust, you’re transparent enough to show all your insides. But you’re not.”
Sori was just flustered, watching Hyun Woo, who seemed to be confident about me.
So she kept forgetting what she had to say.
“Professor, I’m not in pain. The hospital…”
The moment she tried to reveal the truth, his phone rang.
He showed his palm and moved a little away from the hospital bed.
As soon as he put the cell phone to his ear, Jiwu’s voice leaked from the speaker.
Oppa? Sori isn’t answering the phone. Did you not see Sori at the hospital?
“Where the hell are you right now?”
“I’m in the ER. Just finished the treatment. I have to see Sori. Brother, didn’t you meet Sori in the lobby I mentioned earlier?”
“I met her.”
His voice was suppressed as he continued the call, looking intently at Sori.
“Come to room 808. I’m here.”
“Is Sori hurt? Why is she in the hospital room?”
“You’ll know when you come.”
“Okay. I’ll be there right away.”
After hanging up the phone, he carelessly put his cell phone in the pocket of his white gown.
Looking at him now, his shirt and doctor’s gown were also in a mess.
Thinking that those traces were the traces of me clinging to him, heat rose again on my face.
“Jiwu will come here.”
“Yes……”
“I’ll leave after applying medicine for the abrasion, get help when Jiwu comes.”
As if there was nothing more to say, he left the hospital room without any hesitation.
Sori, who was blankly staring at the closed hospital room door, touched her forehead.
She was embarrassed because of the proposal received for absurd reasons.
“Sori!”
“Oh, Jiwu.”
But thanks to Jiwu, she quickly woke up from her meditation.
Jiwu, who came in with a doctor’s gown in his arms, was limping a little as he entered the hospital room.
Sori was simply washing up and changing into new clothes.
“Manager brother said he’s so sorry and thankful. These clothes are a gift.”
The new clothes bought by Jiwu’s manager were a highend brand blouse and black slacks.
There was nothing to like or dislike as it was the style Sori liked to wear in the hospital.
“Thanks, I’ll wear it well.”
She turned her back to put on her top and threaded her arms through the blouse, her body felt stiff.
She hadn’t realized earlier because she was too tense because of Hyun Woo, but now her body, which had been hit here and there, was complaining of pain.
She was about to groan, but swallowed it down hard.
“Sori! Your back is……”
Jiwu covered his mouth with both hands and opened his eyes wide with pity.
“What should I do. Sori, I’m sorry……”
Sori’s white, dry back was bruised all over.
Even though Sori turned her head as far back as possible, she couldn’t see properly.
So she asked calmly.
“Is it that serious?”
Jiwu, who had been watching from behind, made a sad face and nodded his head vigorously.
It was a problem that she had encountered the fans in a space without a single wall to hide her body.
Jiwu regretted belatedly that he should have put on a leather jacket.
When scheming men desperately battle for her favor in the male harem
This one’s also on my reread list! The rivalry, scheming between the men in the imperial harem are just as intense and thrilling as in classic palace drama novels, where concubines fight to the death. Give it a read, girls! I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”
Those were the painful whispers of Yue Guanyi – the proud Crown Prince of the Great Qi, who was torn between deep love and a guilty conscience. Despite holding the supreme power of the Imperial Guard, he still could not forget the dark past when he was sold into a brothel.
Fate played a cruel twist when Qiu Shuzhi – a young female official who had just passed the imperial examinations with top honors – stepped into his life. She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi. The covert struggle between the two most powerful forces in the imperial court began…
