Then she averted her gaze, but her eyes fell on the empty bed and the pink suitcase on the table placed side by side next to Hajun’s bed.
Seeing a small rabbit doll on the bed, it irritated her, as it seemed like they were spending time together with Seoa.
“I didn’t plan to die. I couldn’t help it because my wife could die.”
The word ‘wife’ made Jiyoung’s pupils vibrate unreservedly. Earlier, Seoa also said ‘husband,’ and now it seemed like there was no longer a place for her between the two who seemed like a real couple.
“I came to confirm if the rumor was true, but it’s a spectacle. Take care of yourself, and I’m leaving.”
Worried that tears would flow down her face at any moment, Jiyoung turned away hurriedly.
However, the tears she had suppressed with gritted teeth flowed down her cheeks at Hajun’s voice from behind.
“As a friend, I’ll tell you; it would be best to settle things with S Group quickly.”
Jiyoung left, and Seoa entered Hajun’s hospital room.
“What happened?”
“I think she came to confirm if the rumor was true.”
“Ah… You came to tell me something… It’s not just because of me that you came, feeling upset, right?”
“What are you talking about?”
With a soft voice, Hajun asked, and Seoa looked away before answering.
“Actually, we briefly met. She said that because of me, he got hurt, and she warned me… She told me not to be concerned about our marriage as a friend and just worry about my friend being hurt.”
Hajun’s lips drew a gentle curve.
“You did well. Our dear, does she know how to say such things?”
Seoa, who had been avoiding eye contact, met his gaze.
“If she really changed her mind because of me, what should I do… If Kim Jiyoung knows something, can’t we catch the culprit sooner?”
“It’s okay. Even if she really did that, you did well! In the future, don’t be afraid to speak up against anyone who underestimates our dear, whether it’s Kim Jiyoung or anyone else. I’ll handle the aftermath.”
Seoa nodded with a bright smile.
She didn’t want to harm Hajun, but she felt she needed to become stronger. Not only to prevent people from underestimating her but also to avoid putting Hajun in danger.
“By the way, are you really going to stay here?”
“Of course! Oh! Wait a moment!”
Seoa, who was sitting next to Hajun, suddenly stood up and headed to the bathroom.
She brought water to the sink, wet a towel, and began wiping Hajun’s face and the parts not covered by the bandage.
Hajun was worried about Seoa, but, on the other hand, he felt fortunate. If they were apart, he wouldn’t be able to confirm Seoa’s safety himself.
Although his body was uncomfortable, if something happened to Seoa, he was ready to throw himself into it willingly.
After that day, Seoa took meticulous care of Hajun.
She fed him every meal, wiped off his sweat whenever it appeared, and expressed affection more than ever.
However, Hajun had another concern. As time passed, he became more and more uneasy about not being able to wash properly.
But Seoa surprisingly liked his appearance. After all, could there be anything unpleasant about becoming like this while saving her? She was glad that she could do something for him.
From the third day, they could go for walks together. Although Hajun was in a wheelchair, and even though the bodyguards pushed it,
As time went by, a week passed since the accident.
Thanks to Seoa’s sincere care, Hajun’s body was recovering rapidly.
The minor burns were almost healed, allowing Jiyoung to gradually remove the bandages that covered her entire body, leaving only the ones on her right arm and knee, which had suffered severe impacts.
Yeongju was still unconscious.
Even if she woke up, there was no certainty that her mind would be intact.
Thanks to Jongwon’s plan, the situation between the broker organization members and Yeongju was unfolding as a duo.
The information Hajun had gathered so far didn’t provide evidence that Yeongju had done what she did at Jongwon’s behest.
When they showed pictures of the organization member who had accepted the settlement for causing the traffic accident eight years ago, it confused her. Eight years had passed, and the similarity between the organization member and Jae-hwi made it challenging to distinguish them.
Taehyeok suggested using the abundant material to threaten and extract a confession, but that would require making a deal, which would reduce the sentence. Hajun couldn’t accept that.
So today, Hajun took matters into his own hands.
Persuading Seoa to send her to her parents’ house and secretly heading to Seok-hoon and Yeongju’s house, Hajun wanted to confirm things for himself.
Although a detective had visited due to the organization member who accepted the settlement pointing out Yeongju as an accomplice, Hajun wanted to check for himself.
Since there was no elevator in the villa and they had to climb to the third floor, Seok-hoon was uncomfortable. With Hajun’s knee injuries, it wasn’t easy to go up and down the stairs.
“Do you really have to go? If you wait in the car, I’ll check more thoroughly with the detectives.”
“It’s okay.”
“I’ll handle it.”
“Just hold the railing.”
Hajun carefully ascended the stairs, holding onto the railing, and Seok-hoon followed, sighing deeply.
Then, on the second floor, Hajun stopped.
There was someone in the house; the front door was wide open, and there was a commotion inside.
“Although it’s the second floor, the sunlight comes in well because there are no tall buildings around. Soundproofing is better than an apartment. Water pressure is good, too…”
“Chief, why are you doing this?”
“No, it’s nothing.”
After twists and turns, Hajun finally arrived at Yeongju’s house.
Two detectives were already there, and they began searching together.
Hajun’s sharp gaze was full of determination not to miss any small piece of evidence.
“Have you checked behind the furniture and the ceiling and floor thoroughly?”
“Yes. We even removed the floorboards for a detailed check.”
At that moment, while Hajun was examining the bedroom, he felt something strange.
The bedroom seemed narrower than he had seen on the second floor.
To confirm his feeling, Hajun, who went toward the entrance, looked at the bedroom, and it definitely seemed more cramped than on the second floor.
“Can you pull the furniture a bit more?”
“Yes!”
Seok-hoon, who was waiting, called the bodyguards, and they pulled the furniture together.
“Please peel off the wallpaper.”
At Hajun’s words, Seok-hoon and the bodyguards moved quickly, and the detectives cooperated.
Looking at it now, one wall seemed to have been wallpapered more recently than the others.
However, even after completely peeling it off, there was nothing special.
“Could you peel off all the wallpaper on the other side as well?”
However, after peeling off all the wallpaper in the room, only the wall where they initially peeled off the wallpaper was a dark gray, and the rest were light gray.
“The cement on this side… doesn’t it seem like it was applied not too long ago?”
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…?
