“First of all, thank you. Sincerely, for taking care of my wife….”
It didn’t suit the situation, but Chaeha, who had tried to express gratitude at any time, opened his mouth with difficulty.
That was when a bright voice came from behind the two.
“Daddy Daewang!”
Woojoo, who ran towards them, clung cheerfully to Chaeha’s thigh and looked up at him.
The band attached to his white cheek like a glutinous rice cake cut Chaeha’s heart into a thousand pieces.
Jaeyoon was right.
Could he just watch as such a precious child got hurt?
As he was about to chew his lips again, Woojoo turned his head, showing a bright smile to Jaeyoon.
“Daddy Jaeyoon! Don’t be mad at Daddy Daewang, okay?”
“…”
“Woojoo really, really likes Daddy Jaeyoon and Daddy Daewang. So, let’s all get along nicely~.”
It was the words of an endlessly pure child, but Jaeyoon’s heart felt strangely stung.
Even in the midst of it all, what Woojoo instinctively embraced was not him but Kwon Chaeha right in front of him.
“For now, let’s take Woojoo. We should go to the hospital to check if there are any injuries.”
“…Sure.”
“Huh? Woojoo, do we have to go to the hospital?”
“You must. Little one. Going to the hospital makes you a brave baby tiger.”
“…Okay.”
Nodding with small lips, Woojoo obediently nodded his head.
That lovely sight deeply touched Jaeyoon’s heart today.
“Jaeyoon Dad, Woojoo will go to the hospital!”
“Sure. Our Woojoo is good.”
Shaking hands, Jaeyoon watched Woojoo and Chaeha move away.
Seeing that, he thought the pain in his limbs wasn’t that bad.
“Um…”
At the gesture of tapping his shoulder, Jaeyoon finally snapped out of his daze.
The Rabbit Ban teacher, who had come out with Woojoo, was standing behind him.
“Oh, sorry. I made you wait for a long time with the kids in the car.”
“No, more importantly, shouldn’t Jaeyoon go to the hospital?”
Only then did Jaeyoon realize that she was full of worry in her expression.
It was understandable since he had acted like that a while ago.
He quickly reassured the teacher, although it didn’t suit the situation.
“It’s okay. I often rolled around like this even while working on the island. Haha.”
“But still…”
“It’s really okay. And we have to take the kids home quickly.”
“Ah…”
Rabbit Ban teacher nodded slightly after looking at the kids waiting in the car.
“This… ”
After hesitating for a moment, she pulled out something and handed it to Jaeyoon.
It was a band with a rabbit and carrot pattern attached to Woojoo’s cheek.
“Put this on here since it seems to hurt everywhere.”
“Ah… Thank you.”
“Well, see you tomorrow. Take care of yourself!”
Hurriedly saying goodbye, the Rabbit Ban teacher quickly went into the daycare center.
Holding a bunch of bands in his hand and looking alternately at them and there, Jaeyoon stood dazed for a moment.
Then, he soon let out a wry laugh.
Regardless of what happened, it felt good to have someone who worried about him.
“What? Our baby got into a traffic accident?”
“It’s not me, but it seems like he almost did. Suddenly, a truck rushed in.”
“That’s it, huh! Goodness, what a bolt from the blue! Who the hell would do this to our baby!”
The elegant brush that he had held up to attach a noble hobby flew fiercely toward the wall.
Since it became difficult to approach Woojoo after that, Heo Youngju secretly sent someone to the Ilsa Children’s Center and was looking for an opportunity.
Thanks to that, she quickly got the news, but as Director Yoon, it was just a headache.
“Get ready now! Let’s go to the hospital!”
Because she knew her owner would come out like this.
Since the hospital dedicated to Chaewoon was within walking distance, even if I tried to stop her, she would run there alone.
So Director Yoon reluctantly nodded.
It would be more efficient to follow and monitor her instead.
However, even for the clever Director Yoon, it was a misjudgment.
He had underestimated how intense Heo Youngju’s obsession with Woojoo had become.
As soon as they entered the hospital entrance, Heo Youngju managed to shake him off and ran straight in.
Her destination was, of course, one.
“Director Shim! Director Shim!”
Heo Youngju, who suddenly rushed into the examination room, looked around frantically.
Confusion appeared on the face of the startled nurse in this unexpected situation.
However, since she knew who she was, she couldn’t bring herself to chase her away.
“Where is Director Shim? Where’s Woojoo?”
“Oh. The director is currently in a meeting with the vice president. They said they have something to discuss privately…”
“What? Then, where’s the baby? Where is our baby!”
“Huh? Lovely Grandma!”
“Oh, baby!”
Woojoo, who finished dressing behind the curtain in the examination room, poked his face out with a bright smile.
Heo Youngju, who found the child she had been desperately looking for, went over and grabbed Woojoo’s hand.
Then, with a hawk-eyed gaze, she quickly scanned him from head to toe.
It wasn’t severely injured as heard, but the band on his swollen cheek looked painful enough to drive her crazy.
“Baby. Let’s go with this Grandma!”
“With Lovely Grandma? Where to?”
“Let’s go for now!”
“Uh, there, ma’am! If you do this… ugh!”
Pushing away the nurse trying to block her, Heo Youngju wrapped Woojoo up and hurriedly left the examination room.
Witnessing that scene, Director Yoon’s eyes widened as much as soccer balls.
“Ma’am! Ma’am! What are you doing now? Why did you bring the child out, huh?”
Director Yoon anxiously looked around.
For some reason, Chaeha’s figure, who should be with the child, was nowhere to be seen.
Moreover, Heo Youngju was already halfway out of her mind.
“I’m taking him home!”
“What a frightening thing to say. The vice president is here, and if the little madam finds out…”
“Director Yoon said it well! After such an accident, I can’t leave him with that woman. I have to protect him!”
“No, it was almost an accident. I’m not… And this child is just the little madam’s son…”
For a moment, Heo Youngju’s pupils shone more fiercely than they had in decades.
Soon, an angry scream burst from her mouth.
“My grandson! He’s my grandson!”

Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect.

After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
