It wasn’t something significant enough for Jaha to worry about.
Thinking about the days we spent together, I remembered the incessant ringing of his phone.
Since giving up the INTEC bid, there seemed to be many things he needed to do.
“This is something I have to do. Mr. Jaha has his own tasks, and I have mine.”
[Dash] …‘Did he get upset?’
Feeling sorry when Jaha didn’t say anything on the other end of the line.
Still, he didn’t follow through the secretary, even though he knew I was leaving the house.
Normally, the secretary would have followed me.
I felt good knowing he didn’t confirm and asked me instead. I felt his trust in me.
“I have to do something wrong today. I hope Mr. Jaha didn’t know.”
[Dash] Something wrong…? Where on earth are you going?Jaha’s voice, laughing as if uncontrollable, echoed in my ears.
Continuing the conversation, I rolled up the corners of my mouth while looking at the sign of the obstetrics and gynecology clinic visible in the distance.
“Trust Obstetrics” was the hospital Seorin attended.
Considering the current situation, there was undoubtedly some hidden aspect to Seorin’s pregnancy.
There was no way she would answer if I went to ask her directly.
If there’s something you’re curious about, you have to ask the other party directly.
“And Mr. Jaeha also knows this place. I’ll contact you after it’s done.”
I hung up the phone with Jaeha.
A nurse who had entered the director’s office approached me.
“Follow me.”
I followed the nurse who was walking ahead.
Hyeonik called Director Hong a greedy person.
This fact could be discerned from numerous medical accidents that occurred at the obstetrics and gynecology clinic.
Moreover, recently Director Hong was entangled in a troublesome medical lawsuit involving a stillborn fetus.
For the sake of compensation and silencing the patient…
‘A huge sum of money is probably needed.’
In the face of money, one can only be honest.
The proposal I would present today would likely be a condition that Director Hong would find difficult to refuse.
Director Hong, looking at me, seemed embarrassed, with his chin slightly raised.
“Are you asking me to show you the patient’s private medical records? This is quite awkward to say.”
Although he said it was awkward, Director Hong, whom I faced, had a relaxed expression.
He probably knew that I couldn’t forcibly review the medical records.
“When someone you trust makes a difficult request, won.”
‘It’s probably not the time to be relaxed.’
As I chuckled softly, Director Hong narrowed his eyes.
Approaching him, I pulled a chair closer and sat down.
“Director, when you opened the door, I told you to leave. Don’t you know there’s a timing in negotiations?”
“…”
“Recently, I heard you’ve been troubled by an unfortunate medical lawsuit.”
At the mention of a medical lawsuit, Director Hong’s face, which had met mine up close, stiffened.
“What are you going to do if news of medical record manipulation comes out? Shouldn’t you cover it up by now?”
“Manipulation? H-how can you…?”
Well, yes.
At my casual remark, Director Hong’s face turned pale.
“If Hojin finds out about this, he won’t stay quiet. It wouldn’t be surprising if the hospital suddenly disappeared one day.”
Under my chilly gaze, Director Hong eventually raised the white flag.
In his eyes, a meager trust relationship that could be easily broken with money was Seorin’s position.
Exiting the examination room, I looked down at the documents I was holding.
As expected, it was just as I anticipated.
There was no way the child who would come after five years had already been conceived.
Seorin’s anxious mind had probably led her to think that pregnancy was the solution.
‘Even so, how can she lie like that… making up a child that doesn’t even exist.’
In her past life, Seorin wasn’t as wicked as to commit such a crime.
Although she had some fox-like cunning, compared to now, it was adorable mischief.
No matter how much, planning things so boldly against Ji-han.
‘Or maybe, was this her original personality, and I just didn’t know?’
I was confused by the memories with Seorin surfacing one by one.
Perhaps, there was a dreadful thought that even in the past, it might have been a false pregnancy.
‘No, that’s something I don’t know.’
It was a moment when I tried not to jump to conclusions.
[Dash] Tick, tock.I raised my head at the sound of footsteps echoing in the quiet corridor.
With blinking eyes, Seorin and my gaze met.
I didn’t expect to meet her gaze like this…
“Oh, Unni?”
Seeing my face turning pale, Seorin seemed astonished that I was here.
Seorin’s gaze alternated between the director’s office and me, shaking continuously.
“Why is Unni here? It’s quite far from Unni’s house.”
Seorin’s voice trembled as she asked me. It seemed to reflect her shocked feelings.
The gaze of the shaking Seorin lingered on the envelope I held in my hand.
Her tension was evident as she tightly clenched the hem of her dress.
Amusing. She must be so nervous.
“I came because it seemed like you were coming to this hospital.”
“Why, why? Is Unni pregnant? This is just a local hospital.”
“Pfft.”
I couldn’t help but laugh at Seorin’s question about pregnancy.
It was evident from her expression.
Funny. She must be so nervous.
Silently trembling inside, the act of pretending to know nothing while shaking inwardly was quite amusing.
Seeing me with a composed smile, Seorin furrowed her brows.
“Am I pregnant? Is your imagination that limited? Or are you pretending not to know even though you do?”
“…….”
“If it were me, I wouldn’t waste time standing here asking.”
I approached Seorin, who remained frozen in her place.
Looking down at her from close quarters with my cold gaze, she shivered.
“I went to see Director Hong.”
Unlike a moment ago, Seorin’s face distorted brutally.
As if my last words were a signal, Seorin slumped into her seat, visibly affected.
Male lead is a clingy little husband
One-line summary: The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
Introduction:
One day, Lu Yuner’s soul transmigrates into a female-dominant world. She enters the Imperial Academy and takes up the position of a doctoral instructor, teaching classes and grading schoolwork.
One day, she encounters the young prince Su Qingwan secretly skipping class from the male academy.
As a result, Su Qingwan is punished.
From then on, Su Qingwan sees Lu Yuner as a “thorn in his side”.
But before long, this “thorn” becomes the person he cherishes most, and he goes to great lengths to win Lu Yuner’s affection.
Mini scene 1:
One day, the sun is high in the sky but Su Qingwan still hasn’t gotten up for class.
Servant Xiaoyuan: “Young prince, it’s time for class. You’ll be late otherwise.”
Su Qingwan says arrogantly: “I’m not going. I am the esteemed prince, my status is so noble, why should I suffer this hardship? Besides, isn’t learning all this just to please women? Hmph, they’re not worthy!”
Mini scene 2:
After Su Qingwan falls for someone, he completely changes. He no longer skips class and diligently learns how to be a good husband and father. But he discovers that Sister Yuner is always surrounded by admirers.
Drunk and overcome with jealousy one day, he clings to Lu Yuner, crying beautifully like a pear blossom in the rain.
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan likes Sister Yuner.”
Lu Yuner: “Young prince, you’re drunk.”
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan isn’t drunk. Qingwan likes Sister Yuner, likes you so much, likes you to bits…” Before he can finish, Lu Yuner’s eyes flash with emotion and she leans in closer.
[Reading Guide]
1. The female lead is gentle, gracious, humble and polite but not weak. The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
2. 1v1, a bit torturous in the beginning but definitely sweet later on.
