At least on the surface. However, the plan to seize full control of the company’s management through marriage and then provoke a war had to be completely revised.
Moreover, there was a high possibility that the Kang Jaeik camp had noticed that Gyo Hwan also knew something.
It was quite detrimental for Gyo Hwan not to reveal his suspicions about him as the suspect in his grandfather and father’s accident until he had solid evidence.
When hostility is revealed, the opponent’s defense level also increases.
The mud fight will soon begin.
The team leader, sensing the upcoming situations through the phone conversation, let out a short sigh.
“From now on, the hospital will be personally attended by me and the team leader,” he said.
Because there was a high possibility that the Kang Jaeik camp, fearing that memories would resurface, would even target his grandmother’s life. Even if the evidence disappeared, there could still be testimony.
“Dad.”
After finishing the call with the team leader, Gyo Hwan turned around and was surprised to find Seungyul standing by the door.

“You’re still not asleep?”
He had gone to bed earlier than usual, but it seemed like he couldn’t sleep because he was worried about his grandmother.
“Come here. Dad will tuck you in.”
Stepping forward, Seungyul threw himself into his father’s open arms and burst into tears once again.
“Huhuh, Dad, I’m sorry. It’s because of me. Because I lied and said I was Mom.”
The teacher and Dad too.
“I must be a bad kid.”
“No, Yul, you’re a good child.”
Gyo Hwan was taken aback as he gently held his son and looked into his tearfilled eyes.
“Yul, Dad is really sorry.”

The wounds from the blows of the wooden stick had healed over time, but the wounds engraved in the heart through words were invisible and not easily erased. And yet, I, as your dad, inflicted those wounds on you.
You’re a bad child.
“Yul, Dad is so proud of you. How could you endure that situation?”
I thought it would be a big mess.
“But Dad endured it too.”
It wasn’t Dad’s fault; it was mine.
“You endured it because of me, right?”
Tears poured down again as if turning on a faucet at the touch of a hand caressing his round forehead.
“Huhuh… Dad, I’ll become a great person when I grow up.”
So that Dad would never have to slap me again because of my mistakes.

“But, Yulie is already a better person than Dad, you know?”
He makes Dad see things he hasn’t seen and makes him realize. Yulie is only 9 years old now.
“Yul, do you know why Dad named you Seungyul? It’s because when Dad was young, the person he respected the most was his grandfather, Choi Seungdo.”
Taking the child to the room and lying down side by side on the small bed, Gyo Hwan patted his back.
The night that had passed after the war was excessively quiet.
With swollen eyes, Seungyul nestled in his father’s arms and listened to the gentle voice singing a lullaby.
Perhaps it was because of the earlier commotion that Dad’s voice felt unusually warm.
“So, when you were born, Mom gave you a name that included your grandfather’s name. Choi Seungyul.”
“You will become a much better person than Dad or your grandfather.”
The damp and warm palm gently covered the warm cheek.

“Dad, does it still hurt?”
It’s still red.
“I’ll blow on it for you.”
As Gyo Hwan blew warm breath, the tip of Seungyul’s nose twitched, and his father hugged him tightly.
It felt like not only the slap but also the heart that had been lost and broken due to losing his wife was healing.
“Thank you. Actually, it hurt a little, but thanks to you, it’s all better now.”
“I will never forget what happened today.”
Like tiny maple leaves, the small hand caressed Dad’s back.
“When I become a great adult, I will definitely repay you.”
The scoundrel who hit our dad.

“Yes, let’s punish him together, Dad.”
The scoundrel who caused the death of grandfather and father.
Let’s join forces, Dad and Yulie, and definitely destroy him.
“Hyo Jin Bong, patient.”
Hyo Jin, lying in bed, sat up at the sound of the nurse entering the room.
“Um, I want to tie up my hair. Can you help me?”
The nurse, who was attaching Velcro to her wrist to measure blood pressure, widened her eyes.
“I want to tie up my hair, but they said the wound shouldn’t get wet.”
“Where is your husband?”
“Oh, well…”

Not her husband. If she told the truth, it would seem strange that a man who wasn’t her husband was next to her.
As Hyo Jin was embarrassed and didn’t know what to do, the door suddenly swung open.
“Oh? Your husband just arrived.”
“Huh?”
Gyo Hwan, wearing a long coat, came in briskly, bringing in the cold wind from outside and standing in front of her.
“I’m sorry. Did you wait long?”
“Thank goodness. I was having trouble because my wife wanted to tie up her hair, so I didn’t know if you could help.”
Not his wife.
Gyo Hwan looked at Hyo Jin without saying a word to the nurse who checked his temperature and blood pressure and left as if he was illustrating a comic.
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
