“If Se-in didn’t die in an accident, what would you do?”
Why is he bringing up this story now?
“If Se-in didn’t die in an accident….”
Exchange, who brought his spoon to stir the hot soup, looked up.
“What are you talking about all of a sudden? If Se-in didn’t die in an accident….”
Exchange, if that is the truth, has come here because he thinks Yong-hoon, his father, should know first, but when he actually faced him, he couldn’t speak.
How can I say this?
Even if he died in an accident, it would be painful, but if someone deliberately killed him.
In the car engulfed in flames, so cruelly.
“What is it? Tell me what you’re talking about so I can understand!”
Yong-hoon, thinking that he might be talking about the last incident, tensed up even more.
“Say it. If our Se-in didn’t die in an accident. Who intentionally caused an accident to kill our Se-in?”
He has thought about it more than once until now, but every time, Yong-hoon tried to erase it, thinking it was his delusion of being a victim.
That’s too horrifying. The fact that my beloved daughter, who I cherished so much, was deliberately killed by someone, not in an accident.
“Could it be Kang Jae-ik?”
As if making your father and grandfather die in an accident wasn’t enough, now my daughter too?
“I’m sorry.”
Ha. Yong-hoon lost his grip on the spoon, his hands slackening.
“Father, are you okay?”
Exchange scratched the chair on the floor and stood up, supporting the staggering Yong-hoon.
“Is it true? Did Kang Jae-ik really kill our Se-in? What did she do wrong?”
If you wanted to kill, you should have killed me.
Even though there was an engaged woman designated by the family, he said he filed a marriage registration first.
If you wanted to kill, you should have killed me. Why did you kill our Se-in?
What did she do wrong? She was even pregnant with my grandchild in her belly.
“Is it really certain?”
Thinking about the agony of my daughter who died in despair, Yong-hoon felt like his breath was being cut off, if not choked.
“There is no definite evidence yet, but we are convinced by various circumstances.”
From Granny Bang Mi-hee mentioning Kang Jae-ik to the appearance of Hwang Tae-sung.
“Ha. I can’t believe it.”
Is this the pain of tearing the whole body?
Yong-hoon felt that even if he burned to death, it wouldn’t be as painful as this.
“I’m really sorry, Father. It’s all my fault.”
If he had married Kang Hanna, there would have been no incident where Kang Jae-ik caused an accident and killed his wife.
Of course, Grandmother Bong’s father, too.
“I will definitely find out and return it.”
The price for making Se-in die.
Even if that happens, can I repay the sins I committed?
Se-in, who is already dead, can’t come back.
Contrary to Yong-hoon’s words, it wasn’t Grandmother Bong’s father who killed Se-in, but it was him.
Because he loved Se-in too much.
He made Se-in die. So cruelly.
“Come to think of it, it was strange from the moment I heard it from the firefighter.”
That he saved his niece and the child in her belly was not him, but the substitute driver who caused the accident.
If it wasn’t for that person, his niece and the child in her belly would have already died…!
When checking the CCTV, the driver who jumped out of the burning car and ran out of the parking lot in a hurry.
Naturally, he thought he ran away in fear, but the man who appeared with a fire extinguisher extinguished the fire attached to the engine room, broke the window with the fire extinguisher, and pulled Se-in out.
At that time, he thought that he couldn’t touch the burning handle because it was hot, but if it was a deliberately planned accident, the driver might have already realized that there was a problem with the car while driving.
“Grandmother probably suspected and investigated Kang Jae-ik from the moment Se-in died.”
At that time, Exchange could not have imagined that Kang Jae-ik would be related to his wife’s accident.
He began to suspect Kang Jae-ik right after his grandmother collapsed.
Having lost my father and grandfather in a traffic accident, and being meticulous about maintaining the vehicle since my wife became pregnant, I couldn’t help but think that there might have been a problem with the car in the accident.
“Do you think Bong Sunsaeng knows?”
“No, not yet.”
“He should know. He’s her father.”
“Yes, he should.”
Hyo-jin’s father, along with his wife, was rescued by paramedics and taken to the ambulance, but he ultimately couldn’t regain consciousness and passed away.
The cause was lung damage due to toxic gas.
The prosecution, which prosecuted the case, announced the investigation results as an accident caused by the driver’s negligence. With the death of the defendant, the case was concluded, leaving the remaining family members unable to reveal the truth through a trial and carrying the stigma of causing an accident without clearing their names.
If Bong Sunsaeng learns this fact…
Because Exchange, who knows the past that he has lived through more difficultly than anyone else, felt like a heavy boulder pressing on his chest.
“What about Seung-yool from now on?”
Exchange spread a bedding in the bedroom and laid Yong-hoon down.
“I am preparing to go to the UK. There are only a few hours left.”
It is now 2 a.m. Seung-yool’s flight is at 11 a.m.
“Do we really have to send her off? Now that we know that Sunsaeng’s father did not cause the accident.”
Exchange knew what Yong-hoon meant by saying that, but he was not sure if she could forgive herself when she found out the truth.
Moreover, now that she knows the fact that her wife died so horribly…
“Please think only about Seung-yool. Doing what’s best for Seung-yool is also for Sein.”
Yong-hoon already told Exchange as if he knew such thoughts.
“Sein did her best for Seung-yool even in a life-threatening situation.”
So doing something for that child is what Sein wanted.
“Hurry home and catch Seung-yool. And tell her honestly, and start over with Sunsaeng and live happily.”
Including the part of Sein and Bong Sunsaeng’s father who are already dead!
That is truly the way not to let the deaths of the two be in vain.
The next morning.
The Sangrimwon, facing Seung-yool’s departure, vibrated with a somber tone as if a portrait had been painted.
“Daegam! How can you go such a long way leaving the girl behind?”
Madam Bang Mi-hee wiped her tear-streaked eyes with her sleeves.
“Don’t cry. If Bbang-mi cries, it hurts my heart.”
“Then don’t go. Did Exchange tell you to go? My stupid child.”
“No, Bbang-mi. It’s not Dad, but I said I would go.”
Madam Bang Mi-hee looked at Seung-yool, who was wiping her wrinkled eyes while resisting her objections.
“Why? Can’t the old man live without seeing the girl?”
Even the thought of parting like this makes her heart crumble.
“It’s not like we’re parting forever. If you miss me that much, you can call me.”
She couldn’t bring herself to say that she might miss the teacher if she stayed in Korea.
“Grandma, I’m going to leave now.”
“Where are you going? You should wait for Dad.”
Although Jahyeon had told her to wait a bit because she was coming back after sleeping at her grandfather’s house, Seungyool wanted to leave quickly before her dad arrived.
It felt like she might resent him somehow when she saw him.
Seungyool, escorted by the butler and employees, approached the parking lot where Exchange’s car was waiting.
“Yool-ah…”
Exchange, who had gotten out of the car, approached, but Seungyool stared at the ground with clenched fists.
Despite saying that she would go, she couldn’t understand why she felt resentful when her dad actually showed up.
“Yool-ah, don’t go.”
“Yes?”
What is this all of a sudden?
Not only Seungyool but also Jahyeon and the butler, who had come out one after another to see her off, looked at Exchange with round eyes.
“Yool-ah, don’t go. Let’s play with Dad.”
And with the teacher.
