Min Hyuk spoke earnestly, then stood up, ignoring the stinging pain in his chest.
She knew he didn’t want to see her face, so she’d let him rest.
“Okay. My child is important to me too. I’ll take care not to overdo it. You take care of your work.”
“I’ve already taken the day off. I’ll be in the study. Rest more.”
“Okay.”
Da Hyun forced a smile, feeling like a clown.
With her memory back, everything Min Hyuk did felt insincere.
Min Hyuk’s kindness towards her seemed driven by guilt.
Moreover, he still hadn’t been honest about their past.
“I don’t think Min Hyuk is deceiving me.”
Despite having met Yun Hee, he was avoiding talking about their past.
“Whatever happened two years ago, you’ll tell me honestly, right, Min Hyuk?”
Da Hyun sat up, straightening her back.
Her faint smile only intensified Min Hyuk’s sense of guilt, making it impossible for him to smile back.
“…Yes. I’ll tell you everything then. Everything.”
“Will it take long for that day to come?”
Da Hyun’s question about the time it would take left Min Hyuk speechless. She chuckled to herself, sensing his hesitation.
He must be hoping that her memory never returns.
He probably wishes it never returns, not even for a lifetime.
If her memory returns, all his efforts till now will be in vain.
Why did he approach her after two years?
The one thing Da Hyun couldn’t understand was why they got married.
It would have been better if he had never reappeared. Then, she could have lived obliviously, forgetting about him.
Da Hyun took a deep breath, feeling a sharp pain in her heart.
How much pain must she have been in to erase her own memories?
She no longer believed in something like fate. Any hopes for a fairy-tale ending crumbled in the face of cruel reality.
“No. It won’t take long.”
Min Hyuk, after some deliberation, finally spoke, his expression grave.
“Okay. I’ll wait. I hope it won’t take too long.”
Da Hyun tensed her jaw, fearing it might tremble with the slightest relaxation.
She was curious when Min Hyuk would tell her the truth.
On the day he starts speaking the truth, she planned to reveal that her memory had returned.
“I’m feeling lethargic. As you said, I should sleep a little more.”
“Alright. I won’t disturb you.”
Da Hyun nodded and lay back down. Min Hyuk watched her for a moment before leaving the room.
As the door closed, Da Hyun blinked her eyes and rubbed her eyelids.
She felt bad for being too harsh with him.
But then she consoled herself by comparing it to how he had deceived her all along.
When Min Hyuk finally tells the truth, she would announce that her memory had returned and initiate a divorce.
She would then leave this house, where they spent time together, without any regrets.
Their marriage was a fraud since he deceived her into it.
“Being with two women at once is something only a scumbag would do. I’m not that much of a scumbag.”
She couldn’t bear it. She was angry at herself for being deceived by him again.
What made her angrier was that even after losing her memory, she still ended up loving him.
Min Hyuk had taken a place in her heart again, without her knowledge.
“Ugh!”
Da Hyun abruptly sat up, covering her mouth with her hand.
Her morning sickness seemed to have worsened again since yesterday.
Da Hyun felt the urge to vomit and quickly headed towards the bathroom.
Seeking to soothe her churning stomach, Da Hyun reached for the shelf beside her bed. She picked up a lemon-flavored candy from the plate and placed it in her mouth.
Before her memory returned, she took morning sickness in stride, considering it a happy inconvenience. But now, it was only a source of exhaustion and weariness.
There was no joy in it.
Da Hyun wrapped her arms around her belly.
“Joy, I’m sorry.”
She had named her unborn child ‘Joy,’ hoping to give her a name that signified happiness. But he probably didn’t even know she had chosen a name.
She hoped Joy wouldn’t be sad growing up without a father, wishing for her to be bright and healthy.
Despite the engulfing loneliness and emptiness, Da Hyun couldn’t cry.
Leaving him meant she would have to raise her child alone. She couldn’t afford to be weak and weep in disappointment.
Everything changed when her memory returned.
She couldn’t just lie down and do nothing. However, as per the doctor’s advice, she knew she had to be careful not to harm her baby, especially after experiencing bleeding. She had to prepare herself to be strong and protect herself from further harm.
And she needed to meet Yun Hee as soon as possible. There was something crucial she had to ask her.
“Do you think your father doesn’t know about your relationship with Min Hyuk?”
The conversation she had with Yun Hee was as clear in her mind as if it had happened just yesterday.
How did Yun Hee know her father?
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
