I knew it for the first time.
Crash!
The fact that even a person with a tall stature and a robust body built through exercise could fly through the air like a folding screen.
“!”
In that moment, less than a second when the airbag exploded, Doha being thrown out through the open door due to the impact left a long-lasting impression like a panorama.
In the fading consciousness, Haeyeon’s eyes were fixated not on the life or death of the baby in her belly, but on that scene, which didn’t leave her eyes, mind, and chest.
And when she opened her eyes again.
“Sis, sis!”
Everything had changed.
“I really didn’t know what would happen to both of them…!”
After the traffic accident, the first thing Haeyeon saw when she regained consciousness was Dohui shedding tears while looking at her.
Desperately pressing the nurse call button and tightly holding Haeyeon’s hand with the other, Dohui looked like a worried child afraid of missing something precious.
“The doctor said you didn’t get seriously hurt, but I was still worried.”
Looking at Dohui’s crumpled eyes, which showed how much she had cried, Haeyeon’s heart spontaneously ached. There were things to say, but Haeyeon, who had no strength even to say a few words, was left alone as Dohui continued to speak earnestly.
“The doctor said there’s no problem with the baby, Sis. The doctor even called it a miracle.”
Haeyeon hadn’t cried until then. However, when she heard that there was no problem with the baby, tears flowed from her eyes involuntarily.
Seeing her silently shedding tears, surprised Dohui quickly wiped away her own tears and hurriedly changed the topic.
“I wanted to tell Sister Jua about the accident, but Mom made her go through a traffic checkpoint, so I haven’t told her yet.”
Although Dohui grumbled with a trembling voice, in this mental state, Haeyeon could somewhat understand the story of Chairman Yoon. If the news spread that Doha, who was destined to inherit the group, had been in a life-threatening traffic accident, it would lead to a lot of gossip.
What was more important was not that, but the discomfort Haeyeon was feeling now. In fact, she was exerting all her strength at the moment. Because there were things she needed to ask. The last memory was clearly…
“Oh, Miss… What about Mr. Doha…”
With difficulty, Haeyeon, struggling to articulate, met eyes with Dohui, who was trying hard to comfort her, and squeezed out every last bit of strength.
Even the effort to utter these short words was difficult, and she couldn’t even spit out a proper sentence, but Haeyeon’s mind was going crazy worrying about Doha’s condition before she lost consciousness due to the traffic accident.
She had seen the truck rushing toward them while honking its horn. Haeyeon had no choice but to step on the accelerator pedal to avoid the truck coming at them.
But even that was not fast enough. When Doha turned her head to lift her handbag, momentarily looking down to manipulate the navigation, she saw the truck. At the moment she discovered the truck, even if she had gone a little further, it was not enough to completely turn the car.
Doha!
Haeyeon called out to her instinctively. It was to save her. But as soon as she called, Doha threw herself toward the driver’s seat, and thanks to her turning the steering wheel with all her strength, they managed to avoid the monster approaching head-on.
Due to that wind, the truck struck the passenger seat, and along with the door swinging open, Doha was thrown out weakly.
All of that happened in an instant, but it was vividly engraved in Haeyeon’s mind like an old silent film. Even now, if she closes her eyes, it comes to her mind as if it happened just now.
“Where… am I?”
Just now, her question wasn’t strange. An accident happened on the same day, and there was a passenger. It wasn’t odd to ask about that passenger.
So, the person who received the question shouldn’t have shown such an expression.
“Ah.”
Dohui’s mouth opened wide. When Haeyeon asked twice, she couldn’t grasp the situation, and her eyes widened, an involuntary sigh, and, above all, the clear sense of defeat and despair on her pale face.
Haeyeon finally understood.
Doha was not in good condition.
…Yes?
With unfocused eyes, Haeyeon looked at something.
My brother is in the intensive care unit… We don’t know when he’ll wake up…
Haeyeon had been watching Dohui for four years. Since she started dating Doha. Remembering Dohui’s teens, Haeyeon had never seen her cry like this. Dohui cried so much that it seemed as if floods were pouring from her eyes.
Gasping for breath, Dohui, still crying, continued her explanation. Doha’s condition was so severe that he could die soon. Due to excessive bleeding and organ rupture, he barely survived through surgery, but his condition was so critical that he could stop breathing at any moment.

The demon lord’s eyes were red with fury:
“This is all your doing! Today, I won’t rest until I kill you!”
