When Seoa blinked her large eyes, Hyekyung and Jinwon, who were sitting by the bed, sprang up.
“Seoa! Are you awake?”
“Mom… Dad… What happened?”
“Well… What is going on… Huhu…”
Hyekyung, whose eyes were already swollen from crying, shed tears once again.
At that moment, Seoa recalled the situation before losing consciousness.
Seoa, who had regained her senses, tried to sit up, but her head spun, causing her to flinch momentarily.
“Why, does your head hurt? Wait. I’ll call the doctor…”
Jinwon tried to press the call bell, but Seoa grabbed his hand.
“Dad. Oh, where’s Oppa? And Yeongju unnie?”

“Well, first, let’s focus on your body…”
“Tell me, Dad. Oppa and unnie aren’t hurt, right?”
After hesitating for a moment, Jinwon reluctantly spoke.
“Kang Seobang… jumped out of the moving car, fractured his right arm, and got some minor abrasions elsewhere… Thankfully, that’s about it.”
Hajoon had jumped out of the car and crashed into the dump truck, changing its direction.
Fortunately, it didn’t lead to a second accident on the deserted road.
Even though Hajoon had collided with the dump truck, Yeongju’s car also suffered an impact, and Seoa, who was standing there, was pushed back.
After hearing all this, Seoa was shedding thick tears.
She wanted to resolve things quickly, not wanting to harm Hajoon anymore. She regretted it, thinking that if she hadn’t met Yeongju, everything would have been fine. If she had known this would happen, she would never have met Yeongju.
“Huhu, Oppa… Is he okay?”

“Yeongju… while hugging you and rolling, got hit by a rock on her head… She’s in a critical condition due to severe bleeding…”
Surprised, Seoa’s eyes widened, and she immediately got out of bed.
“Where is she? Where is Oppa and unnie?”
“Seoa, first calm down…”
“I want to go see them… Huhu…”
“Yeongju can’t be seen right now. I’ll let you see her during visiting hours.”
“Huhu, then I want to go to Oppa.”
“Kang Seobang… He’s a bit… okay today, so don’t worry too much…”
Seoa’s tightly sealed lips trembled, and tears flowed endlessly from her eyes.
“If you wake up, let me know, even if it’s just a phone call.”

“I don’t want to! I want to go see Oppa!”
Unable to break Seoa’s determination, Jinwon and Hyekyung brought Seoa to Hajoon’s hospital room.
Seokhoon was startled when he saw Seoa. It was because Hajoon had expressly asked not to let Seoa in.
However, if Seoa wasn’t allowed in, she might throw a fit, so there was no choice.
When Seoa entered the hospital room and saw Hajoon covered in bandages, she couldn’t control the overwhelming emotions that surged within her. Only the right arm was injured! The rest were just minor injuries!
“Yeobo… Oppa…”
Hajoon let out a deep sigh. He didn’t want to show himself in this state, and although his arm was fractured, being wrapped in bandages all over the body felt awkward.
Seoa, who approached Hajoon closely, wanted to hug him tightly, but she couldn’t do this or that. She could only shed endless tears.
“I’m really fine. The doctor overreacted.”
Hajoon, unable to wipe away the tears from her crying eyes or embrace her, could only console her with words, feeling frustrated.
“Why did you do that… Huhu… You could have died! Why did you do that!”

Seoa unintentionally touched Hajoon’s arm, and he pretended to be in pain as a joke.
Upon this, Seoa burst into tears.
At that moment, in Jongwon’s office,
Jongwon was restless all day. Considering it the last chance, he mobilized all available resources, and it cost an enormous amount of money.
If it succeeded, he could earn even more significant money. It wasn’t regrettable since it was more than that.
He couldn’t let everything collapse after hiding it so well for eight years.
However, if it failed, it might only worsen Hajoon’s anger. Therefore, he couldn’t afford to relax.
Then, a sharp knock was heard.
Without saying a word, the door opened, narrowing Jongwon’s eyes mercilessly.
“Something terrible happened.”

Jongwon brought his index finger to his lips, calming Jaehwan down.
“Check if the door is locked again.”
Jaehwan checked in a hurry and cautiously spoke to Jongwon.
“Choi Yeongju didn’t hand Han Seoa over to the organization and was wandering around. They rushed because the truck driver’s signature didn’t match. But the crucial thing is, suddenly Kang Hajoon appeared, crashed the truck with his car, and jumped out of the moving car, seems to have suffered serious injuries.”
“What, what are you saying? Why is Kang Hajoon here!”
Jongwon stood up suddenly, unknowingly raising his voice. The situation didn’t allow for a calm tone.
“Well… I received the news late that he returned from Jeju Island…”
“Argh!”
Jongwon, his veins standing out on his neck, swept away all the items on the desk in anger.
Now that Hajoon was injured, the chairman and vice-chairman of Taesung Group would undoubtedly take action. Trembling with anxiety, he couldn’t calm down.

Reacting to Jongwon’s outburst, Jaehwan unintentionally took a step back.
