When I called the hospital, I heard the news that Jaeha had been discharged in the morning.
He left the hospital without saying a word to me.
“Why did he go to the villa? Why?”
Jaeha changed the plans without any explanation, leaving me bewildered.
It was fine for Uncle Hyeon-ik to accompany Ji-seo on the way to his confession since he’s a lawyer.
But why did Jaeha go to the villa where Serin was waiting? And alone, without any guards!
“I don’t understand.”
Until I arrived at Cheongpyeong, I had a myriad of thoughts.
Even though Serin was a woman, she was in a desperate state, asking someone for a murder.
If she had decided to gather people and go to the villa, what was the reason for going alone?
Because Jaeha always looked several moves ahead, I had never doubted his actions.
But today was different from the usual Jaeha.
Watching the pouring rain, I bit my lower lip.
“Moreover, he’s not fully recovered yet.”
Thinking that he had traveled to Cheongpyeong in such a physical condition made my anger boil.
It felt suffocating, as if something was tightly blocking the throat.
“Phew, why did you turn off your phone?”
I brooded throughout the drive. Surely, if he had met Serin, they would have parted ways by now, but I couldn’t reach Jaeha.
Even if I kept calling him, all I got was the voicemail indicating that his phone was turned off.
Could something bad have happened?
As I entertained various negative thoughts, I arrived at the villa.
Crossing the garden despite the heavy rain, I stopped when I saw Jaeha sitting on the steps in front of the entrance.
My tension eased as I saw him in the same state as when he left the hospital.
“Thank goodness. I…”
I was as nervous as the day of the accident, thinking that something might have happened to him.
However, seeing Jaeha safe, along with the relief, a sense of arrogance surged within me.
Maybe he sensed my presence because he spoke without lifting his head.
“Han Secretary, you’re here already? It took some time to get here.”
“…”
“I came out because it was stifling inside the villa.”
So, he came to pick me up with his secretary.
Perhaps because the tension was relieved, I stared at Jaeha while getting wet in the rain.
Without a response from Jaeha, I thought it was strange. He finally looked up.
“Miss Yeo Jin, how did you come here?”
Looking at Jaeha, who asked in his usual manner, tears welled up.
I wanted to ask why he was here, why he came to meet Serin in his current painful state.
But facing Jaeha, I was speechless.
“It’s raining. Why are you just standing there?”
Jaeha hurriedly approached and covered me with an umbrella.
Being close to him, I could see Jaeha more clearly.
I wondered when he changed, but he was wearing a shirt instead of a patient gown.
It really seemed like he had been discharged.
“Attorney Park called, so I came.”
Upon seeing me, Jaeha sighed softly, keeping his lips tightly sealed.
“I was planning to meet Serin briefly and then go home.”
“Why is Jaeha here…”
Before I could say anything to him, I stopped talking at the urgent sound of approaching footsteps.
The secretary who had accompanied us noticed our presence and asked, out of breath, “Are you two here together?”
“Yes. It seems Attorney Park contacted him.”
Jaeha glanced at me and replied to the secretary’s question.
Unspoken words lingered in my mouth, making me feel frustrated.
Afraid of showing an unpleasant side in front of the secretary, I turned silently towards the car.
At that moment, Jaeha grabbed my hand heading towards the car.
“Let’s ride with the secretary.”
“…”
“With the heavy rain, it might be better for Miss Yeo Jin to drive herself rather than me.”
“Yes, yes. I will arrange for the car that Madam brought.”
I reluctantly accepted the stares of the two people staring at me.
No conversation exchanged until we arrived home in the car driven by the secretary.
Jaeha occasionally glanced at me but didn’t say much.
Even after entering the house, my heart continued to pound fiercely.
I tried to calm my emotions on the way back, but they only intensified.
Certainly, there must be a reason why Jaeha sought Serin.
But at the moment, I wasn’t in a rational state to recall that reason.
Looking at Jaeha, I felt angry and sad.
However, I also felt relieved that nothing bad had happened, followed by resentment as I remembered the moment I worried for nothing.
I almost lost Jaeha due to my parents and Serin.
I didn’t want to experience the sense of loss of a loved one again.
So, I hoped that Jaeha, who was hurt because of me, wouldn’t get involved in this matter as much as possible.
The more I thought about it, the more emotional I became, silently gazing out the window.
“You got soaked. You might catch a cold. Go take a shower.”
Jaeha approached and handed me a large towel, seeing me drenched.
I was taken aback by his concern about me catching a cold.
‘Who was the one really in danger.’
If I had made a wrong move, Jaeha could have been in danger.
My Arch-enemy Sealed My Memory and Said That He is My Husband
This is an incredibly captivating story that you absolutely shouldn’t miss! I’ll give a brief introduction here, and below you’ll find a detailed synopsis of the plot.
The female lead is a fierce and powerful demon king. The male lead is a once-in-a-millennium celestial lord, admired by the entire cultivation world.
They are equally matched, legendary rivals who have battled for centuries.
In the final duel, the female lead is gravely injured. The male lead saves her, seals her memories, and hides her true identity. He tells her that he is her fiancé. His entire life has been flawless—except for the one thing he never expected, never controlled, and never wanted to control: falling for his greatest enemy. She is his inner demon, his obsession.
When the female lead regains her memories, she is furious at his deception.
She makes his life a living hell.
And somehow, the male lead—possibly a total masochist—doesn’t mind at all. In fact, he’s happy she’s paying attention to him.
Yep, we’re back to my favorite trope: male lead suffering. If you love this kind of story, jump into the pit with me now!!!
Intro
Dong Xia lost her memory.
Her handsome and extremely powerful fiancé Li Qing comforted her: “It’s okay if you can’t remember. I’ll always be with you.”
Everyone thought Dong Xia’s ancestors must have burned incense to get such a perfect fiancé. He was the number one person in the immortal realm, yet he remained chaste and only loved her.
…
The day before marrying her fiancé, Dong Xia finally remembered everything.
She wasn’t suffering from memory loss at all.
Her arch-enemy had made her fake her death, destroyed her cultivation, replaced her memories, and pretended to be her deeply in love fiancé.
No wonder he said, “It’s okay if you can’t remember”!
Dong Xia laughed coldly as she pulled out her long knife: Li Qing, prepare to die 🙂
*
Li Qing, as the supreme being of the immortal realm, was the people’s shining beacon.
The only unknown stain in his life was his affection for Dong Xia, the ruler of the demon realm.
In the final battle of the war between immortals and demons, the sky collapsed and the earth shattered. The ruler of the demon realm was finally slain under the sword of the supreme being of the immortal realm, and everyone in the immortal realm applauded.
The cultivation world lost a ruler of the demon realm.
And in the back mountain of Li Qing’s cave dwelling, he secretly hid away a fiancée.
Notes:
1. The female lead is white on the outside, black on the inside, and the queen of flattery; the male lead repeatedly tests the edge of darkness, a VIP guest at the crematorium.
2. Fantasy cultivation world setting.
