“What happened for her to end up like this?” Tae In remembered Eun Sun as a beautiful, vibrant woman, full of passion for her work and love for Tae In.
“What’s going on? Explain it to me.”
Tae In asked in a relatively calm voice.
“I found out while tracking Cho Young Gap. He regularly visited S Hospital, where your mother was. But the hospital records showed she voluntarily admitted herself. Same with the CCTV footage.”
“My mother voluntarily admitted herself without telling me, her family? I didn’t even know if she was alive or dead. That can’t be true.”
Tae In’s voice rose in agitation. Eun Sun had never contacted her, not even once, despite Tae In not changing her phone number.
“I think the same.”
“Those people must have done it. To pretend to be my father without getting caught, Seo Hong Gyu had to remove obstacles. They locked away my mother and aunt, and sent me abroad!”
Tears burst forth again. Tae In clung to Nok Hyun, crying.
“I’ll kill them. I’ll kill them all! What did our family do to deserve having everything taken and trampled on?”
Tae In cried out in Nok Hyun’s arms.
“Calm down, Tae In.”
After taking a few deep breaths, Tae In regained her composure and held her mother’s hand tightly.
“I didn’t know she was in the same hospital.”
Tae In regretted thinking her mother had abandoned her. How scared and lonely her mother must have been all these years.
“I should have investigated Cho Young Gap sooner. I should have tried something, found her earlier.”
Regret tore at her heart.
Then, her mother’s hand holding hers moved. Tae In’s eyes widened as Eun Sun’s eyelids fluttered, revealing eyes that resembled Tae In’s.
Gazing up at the ceiling, Eun Sun turned her head and saw Tae In.
“Worried she wouldn’t recognize her, Tae In was about to speak when Eun Sun sat up and embraced her tightly.
“Tae In!”
Her mother’s immediate recognition dispelled Tae In’s worries.
“Mom!”
The mother and daughter embraced, shedding tears together.
The feeling of her mother’s hand on her back transported Tae In back to ten years ago.
Relief washed over her as her mother woke up. It was a blessing she was alive, a blessing they were reunited. Tae In let out her complex emotions with her tears.
“Let me see your face, our Tae In.”
Eun Sun gently caressed Tae In’s tear-streaked cheeks.
“I’ve changed a lot, haven’t I? How did you recognize me right away?”
“You haven’t changed. You’re still my baby.”
Mother and daughter wiped each other’s tears and managed to smile through their sorrow.
“I missed you so much, Mom.”
Reverting to her childlike state, Tae In opened her heart and embraced Eun Sun.
After learning of Eun Sun’s departure, Tae In had buried the idea of a mother in her heart and tried not to think of her.
Despite her efforts, the thought always surfaced, leading her to crumble. Abandoned by her birth mother, Tae In often wondered who wouldn’t abandon her, while simultaneously harboring resentment towards her mother.
“I missed you so much too, Tae In.”
“What exactly happened all this time?”
Tae In was curious about why her mother left and if her admission to the hospital was voluntary.
However, as she asked, Eun Sun’s eyes began to tremble anxiously.
“That, that man killed my husband… He took my baby.”
It sounded more like a soliloquy than a conversation with Tae In. Eun Sun seemed extremely unsettled.
“Killed dad? Cho Young Gap did?”
Tae In grasped Eun Sun’s shoulders and asked.
“It was a man with the same face as your father.”
That must be Seo Hong Gyu. Tae In had suspected her father might be dead, but hearing it directly from her mother, her heart sank.
“What about the baby, what do you mean?”
At Tae In’s question, Eun Sun clutched her thin belly.
“My baby, my baby disappeared!”
Eun Sun soon had an outburst and screamed. Medical staff rushed in to calm her down. Startled, Tae In staggered back, and Nok Hyun caught her.
“What’s going on here? What baby…”
Tae In collapsed into a chair.
“These are hospital records.”
Nok Hyun handed Tae In some documents.
Tae In read the records from S Hospital.
There indeed was a record of childbirth.
“Mom gave birth…? I have a sibling?”
Tae In was in disbelief.
Then, the door slid open, and a woman entered, held by Lee Kyung. Tae In recognized her; she had monitored Tae In during her confinement in S Hospital.
“Speak.”
Urged by Nok Hyun, the woman slowly began talking.
“Eun Sun was pregnant upon admission and gave birth at S Hospital.”
Nok Hyun handed Tae In a photo. Tae In stared at the photo of her mother holding a baby.
“This is a photo your mother had.”
Looking at the worn photo of herself, Tae In flipped it over. There was a photo of a newborn attached to her photo.
Staring at the photo, Tae In exhaled with trembling breaths.
My Ex-Girlfriend Is The Regent In The Female-dominant World (Male lead transmigrates to the matriarchal world)
Two years ago, Gu Sui picked up a homeless woman in ancient costume from the street.
Apart from occasionally claiming to be a princess from a female-dominant country due to illness, her figure, appearance, intelligence, and martial arts skills were impeccable.
Naturally evolving from roommates to girlfriends, as time went on, Gu Sui found it increasingly difficult to tolerate her queen syndrome.
“Mu Jiulu, can you stop controlling me inside and out? Let’s break up.”
Gu Sui made a breakup call, and since then, he couldn’t find any trace of her.
A year later, Gu Sui, who was planning to move, woke up the next day and found himself in a different place.
“Young Master, today is the day you choose your Wife-master through martial arts competition at Jade Dew Pavilion. Please get up quickly.”
Gu Sui: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
As the only son of a general’s mansion in a female-dominant dynasty, the young empress personally issued a decree allowing Gu Sui to select his Wife-master through martial arts competition. Whoever could defeat him could marry him.
Gu Sui: “……”
He didn’t inherit the original owner’s martial prowess, so anyone could defeat him! And what the hell is a Wife-master?
Forced to come to Jade Dew Pavilion, the densely packed women below made Gu Sui’s agoraphobia act up, and his face was full of resistance.
Until he saw the Regent sitting on the second floor, with a smile on the corner of her lips, her eyes wicked and nonchalant.
Hmm… she looked a little familiar.
It turned out that the Regent also found him a little familiar.
Mu Jiulu fiddled with her bone clasp, her deep gaze locked on the man who was out of place in this world.
“Finally, I found you.”
