Dajeong was startled and looked up. In the deep black eyes that seemed to absorb everything, a dark intensity was present.
“It’s not because of guilt that I kept you by my side.”
“…”
“Believe me.”
“…”
“…Believe me.”
Even though she believed him in her mind, her heart still felt stifled. Endless doubt and anxiety poured out like a flood.
“I… I don’t want to see Mr. Taesang’s face right now. I don’t know what’s true, and… why, of all places, did I have to find out something like this here…”
Dajeong barely swallowed back the emerging sobs.
Today, it was good to come here with him. His presence alone made her feel secure, and he became a pillar for her heart.
But in the end, this was the outcome. The most painful wound being crushed by the most precious person.
Dajeong pushed away his hand with a slow movement. His large hand dropped to the floor with a thud.
“Hadajeong…”
It was a voice that scratched the throat. Dajeong tried hard to avoid his gaze.
“Don’t go.”
“I’m sorry.”
⭐⭐⭐
Myeongok’s hand was busy making a call somewhere.
She sipped on the dark whiskey, looking at the notes laid out on the table.
Jiun Hospital, Seongsan Medical Center, Dr. Kim, Dr. Song… The white paper was full of hospital names and doctor’s names.
She poured the remaining whiskey into her mouth. At that moment, a familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.
“Hello? Dr. Hwang?”
Myeongok quickly grabbed the pen on the table. She made a dot on the paper and drew a long line across it.
The three letters ‘Dr. Hwang’ quickly disappeared from the list.
He was a psychiatrist who had been with Taesang during the most severe period of his symptoms. He knew the most about Taesang.
“Yes. Well, I’m doing well too.”
Even after Dr. Hwang stopped treating Taesang, Myeongok had taken care of him meticulously. During New Year’s, Chuseok, and even her daughter’s wedding. Her efforts were tireless and knew no bounds.
And all of that was for a day like today.
“Um… Doctor, I mentioned something last time. Yes, about Taesang’s records. It eventually became necessary.”
She poured a stream of whiskey into the crystal glass.
“You know, yes. Because Dr. Hwang’s name won’t appear anywhere, so please rest assured.”
The phone seemed to be ringing endlessly, and her throat felt dry like a dried-up washcloth. She repeatedly echoed Dr. Hwang’s words, occasionally sipping the strong liquor.
Then, the doorbell rang loudly in the living room.
Myeongok said, “Just a moment,” and quickly crossed the living room. When she checked the intercom, Chief Choi’s figure appeared on the screen.
She pressed the button on the wall pad and watched the front door. Chief Choi came in holding an envelope.
The envelope seemed quite thick. A satisfied smile appeared on Myeongok’s lips.
“But… Director, if you’re opening a new hospital this time, where is it? I’ll send you a congratulatory flower.”
As she walked back towards the dining table, Myeongok spoke. She intended to give a bit more consideration to his worries, but it seemed that wouldn’t work.
She became eager to quickly open the envelope.
“What? Where is it? Oh… Director, you have only one daughter, but you should provide her with a decent apartment in Gangnam.”
As expected.
As the size of the bait changed, Dr. Hwang’s reaction became more intense. He expressed his willingness to cooperate with excitement mixed with occasional coughs.
Myeongok chuckled inwardly. It was quite amusing to see him suddenly overcome by naive pretense after acting all innocent.
“Thank you. I won’t forget this favor. I’ll send someone soon, so you don’t have to do anything separately. Yes, yes. Please come in.”
Thunk.
She tossed her phone onto the dining table after ending the call. The surface of her cold eyes was as smooth as a snake.
“Anyway, you have to appreciate money.”
Director Choi awkwardly nodded and echoed her sentiment. He took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat, sneaking glances at her.
Though he did what he was told, she couldn’t be sure if she would be satisfied with it.
Myeongok had already been flipping through the documents he brought.
Medical opinions, diagnostic certificates, counseling records.
Her face looked quite satisfied as she flipped through the papers one by one. However, for a moment, her expression turned cold as she reached the end.
Thunk. She closed the file and glared fiercely at Director Choi.
“Why is there only this about the girl?”
“W-Well…”
“Didn’t you check the materials I gave you?”
“I did, but…”
Before leaving the company, Myeongok had pulled out as much information as possible. The main targets were Taesang and key personnel at Air Korea, but among them, there were also documents related to Dajeong.
Dajeong’s personnel records, performance evaluations, various reports. All the materials had smoothly passed into Director Choi’s hands.
