Jeong Ri reported to Se Ji about Tae In.
As Se Ji perused the articles related to Tae In’s brand handed over by Jeong Ri, his expression grew darker.
He didn’t hide his displeasure. At a time when public opinion was already against him and even the executives were displeased with Se Ji, news about Tae In aggravated him further.
“What’s your take, Secretary Im? Do you think Tae In is up to something?”
Jeong Ri had contemplated Tae In for a few days, pondering her motives and actions if she were in Tae In’s shoes.
Knowing Tae In as Jeong Ri did, it seemed clear she would pursue revenge at all costs.
“It doesn’t seem like she’s acting with a grand scheme. Contrary to the articles, the sales are modest. Including me, there are only three employees.”
Se Ji scrutinized Jeong Ri.
“I don’t see it that way. She’s too ambitious to be satisfied with just that. There’s definitely some hidden agenda.”
Jeong Ri wondered why Se Ji even asked if he had already made up his mind.
“Okay…”
“You should stop coming here and keep a closer watch.”
“Even closer? She’s already wary.”
“Then keep an eye on Woo Je Ha.”
“The lawyer?”
Jeong Ri couldn’t hide his surprise. Woo Je Ha was Se Ji’s close aide. Was it possible that Se Ji didn’t even trust him? Perhaps both were monitoring each other.
“Yeah. His recent actions are odd. Might have other motives. He’s always been a shifty character.”
“Understood.”
Jeong Ri bowed and exited the executive office.
Having just arrived home after work, Nok Hyun received a call from Min Gyu.
“Did you find anything?”
[Dash] Cho Yeong Gap was visiting the hospital. He met a woman in her 50s. I’ve sent you her photo.“I’ll check and call you back.”
Nok Hyun ended the call and looked at the photo sent by Min Gyu.
The woman was emaciated, with a pale, exhausted face, yet somehow familiar.
Nok Hyun turned on his laptop and searched her name.
While staring at the woman on the screen, he called Min Gyu again.
“Any other information?”
[Dash] Nothing else. It’s a VIP ward with strict security. Even getting close is risky. The photo was a lucky shot. Do you recognize her?“Seems so. Can you confirm her identity?”
[Dash] If you want, I’ll turn the hospital upside down. Just send one person, anyone but Jeong Yi Kyung.“I’ll send Jeong Yi Kyung.”
[Dash] Damn.Nok Hyun hung up and contacted Jeong Yi Kyung.
The next day, Tae In, having sent all employees home, was alone in the office working.
As she tapped on the table, looking at the monitor, she looked up to find Nok Hyun. Surprised by his unexpected visit, Tae In quickly smiled.
“Let’s go home.”
Hesitant due to her workload, Tae In soon decided. The urgent tasks were done; she could finish the rest at home.
“What’s up?”
As she stretched, Tae In asked. Nok Hyun seemed different than usual, either with urgent business or an unpleasant matter.
“We need to go somewhere.”
Tae In felt a sinking feeling, though Nok Hyun hadn’t explained. She had an odd intuition that something concerning her had happened.
“Okay.”
Without further questions, Tae In grabbed her bag. Her hands trembled, dropping her phone, which Nok Hyun picked up, handing it back and holding her hand firmly.
The anxiety was brief. Reassured by the warmth of his large hand, Tae In felt a sense of security.
Together, they could face anything. Holding Nok Hyun’s hand, Tae In walked with him.
They arrived at HK Hospital’s VIP ward in Nok Hyun’s car. Nok Hyun’s father was in the ward below.
“Why here…?”
The guards at the door, recognizing Tae In, stepped aside. The automatic door opened, and Tae In entered.
Tae In let go of Nok Hyun’s hand and walked straight to the bed in the middle of the spacious hospital room. Her feet seemed to move on their own. Her heart raced, and her ears rang as if submerged in water.
Upon seeing the woman lying still as if dead, Tae In collapsed. Swallowing her sobs as if she had forgotten how to cry aloud, Nok Hyun wrapped his arms around her shoulder.
“Your mother was alive.”
At Nok Hyun’s words, Tae In finally let out her tears.
“Why is Mom lying here like this?”
She had thought her mother had abandoned her for another life. As time passed, she had hoped her mother was living a happy and healthy life. When she learned her father was not her biological father, she even thought her mother might have died.
But here she was, alive before her eyes.
“What’s wrong with her? Is she ill?”
Tae In wiped away her tears and asked anxiously. Nok Hyun shook his head.
Min Gyu and Lee Kyung had discovered her identity and rescued her from S Hospital. She had been neglected and mistreated during her confinement, leading to her poor health, but it wasn’t life-threatening.
“She’ll wake up soon. Don’t worry.”
Nok Hyun comforted Tae In, holding her trembling body tightly.
“I’m fine too.”
After reassuring Nok Hyun, Tae In stood up and grasped her mother’s emaciated wrist.

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
