“But during the investigation at the Vice Chairman’s instructions this time, I heard some strange stories. I mentioned to you before that the Vice Chairman often visited the hospital, went for walks with your mother, and so on, right?”
“Yes.”
Seowon was also extremely surprised by this unexpected fact.
She wondered why her mother didn’t tell her that story.
“Our nurse, who worked at the hospital for a long time, remembers the situation at that time. Probably because she was a major patient.”
“W-what… do you mean?”
Seowon’s heart was strangely throbbing.
Though there was undoubtedly truth before her, why was it frightening to discover something?
But even if she was afraid, she couldn’t turn away.
“On the day Mrs. Kim Sun-hwa lost consciousness, I saw her walking outside with her daughter in the afternoon.”
“Walking…?”
A strange premonition suddenly crossed her mind. Could it be…?
“I haven’t met my mother on the day she collapsed. I didn’t go to the hospital either.”
It was a clear memory.
At that time, Heo Young-joo had pushed her to an unwanted position, something like an errand, because she didn’t want to be there.
But who had a walk with her mother?
“That’s right. Little daughter-in-law. When I asked if she remembered the impression, she gave me a quite detailed answer. She said she had bright brown hair with thick waves and was carrying a luxury bag. It felt a bit strange because she was very splendidly dressed.”
“…Ah.”
A short sigh escaped from Seowon’s lips.
That impression was none other than Baek Sara, who proposed a deal to her with money at that time.
The figure of Baek Sara, who looked down on Seowon, who was covered in tears, with a triumphant gaze.
That merciless gaze that turned other people’s tragedies into opportunities was still unforgettable.
Her body swayed for a moment.
“Oh! Are you okay?”
“I… I’m okay, Dr. Shim.”
“It seems that as expected, you can guess what’s going on. I think I have a rough idea as well.”
“Baek Sara… It’s Baek Sara. Baek Sara came to my mother…”
What did she say?
What nonsense did she babble to her mother, causing her to collapse?
Why did she lose consciousness because of the words she said?
She didn’t know that she was deceived by Baek Sara, and she fell into the temptation to save her mother’s life.
She didn’t even know that she willingly played along with the stage that woman set up.
Foolishly. Foolishly.
Because she genuinely fell in love with Chaeha, she hoped at least not to reach this truth.
Anyway, Heo Young-joo is not Chaeha’s mother.
Even if she didn’t like it, she pushed it to the point of death, even my mother.
I hoped it wasn’t true. It shouldn’t have been.
However, the cruel truth was clearly telling.
Baek Sara. And Heo Young-joo. The two of them took everything from Seowon.
“How… How can someone wear a person’s mask and do such a thing? That my mother… In the end, it was all a plan to drive me out.”
“…I’m sorry to tell you such things.”
Knees involuntarily wobbling, Seowon leaned against the wall with difficulty.
Without giving a chance for love to blossom, the world once again ruthlessly trampled on her heart.
Wiping away the flowing tears, Seowon’s eyes gradually hardened with determination.
“Please keep this story a secret from Chaeha.”
“Yes? But…”
“I’m asking you. Please, Doctor. Just pretend you didn’t find out anything…”
“……!”
Startled by the sudden voice, Seowon turned around to look.
Dr. Shim also shifted his gaze in the direction of the voice.
There, Chaeha stood with a gaze that had sunk deeply.
“Chaeha…”
“Vice President. How long have you been standing there?”
Facing the startled Dr. Shim, Chaeha walked slowly towards him, one step at a time.
Soon, he stopped in front of them, but he spoke with a strong tone.
“There’s no need to keep it a secret or say it twice. I’ve already heard everything.”
“Ah…”
“So, the reason my mother collapsed was because of Baek Sara. That’s the conclusion.”
Chaeha stared at Seowon’s face, which had crumbled with shock.
Gradually, he chewed his lips so hard that blood seemed to ooze out.
Already red lips were dyed crimson in an instant.
Then, in a surprisingly calm manner, he organized the situation.
“Thank you, Dr. Shim. You can go back now.”
“Uh, I…”
Dr. Shim, who had nothing to say to interfere, nodded his head soon.
Anyway, his role was only up to this point.
After Dr. Shim left, a strange silence, unfamiliar between the two, descended heavily.
Although it was a silence that was originally familiar between the two, the current one felt completely different.
As if an invisible wall had been placed between them.
A wall that seemed impossible to overcome.
Tap, tap.
“…I’m sorry.”
Tap, tap.
“Min Seowon.”
“Stop.”
“…Seowon.”
“Don’t call me. Don’t call me affectionately like that.”
Tap, tap. Eventually, tear streaks began to pour down.
The tears flowing from Seowon’s eyes were her tears of blood and the tears of her mother who had left the world.
She could never forgive the man in front of her.
She shouldn’t have fallen in love with her husband in front of her.
“Don’t say anything now.”
Due to the tears overflowing from her eyes, his figure gradually blurred beyond her sight.
As if announcing to her that his presence should be like that for her from now on.
“I… I’ve been through so much because of you. Really… I felt like I was going to die.”
Faced with the miserable reality, emotions that had been pressed down for a long time finally exploded.
The sutures of the forcibly stitched wounds finally burst.
Seowon was not as strong and resilient a person as he expected.
She was just a fragile woman who wavered and crumbled in front of love.
In the face of a pitiful reality, emotions that had been suppressed for a long time finally burst and broke.
The sutures of forcibly stitched wounds finally burst.
Seowon was not as strong and resilient a person as he expected.

Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Intro:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
***
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
***
Yan Jiyue was consumed with jealousy. He spread rumors that Xie Yi had once been branded with the mark of a “harlot” on his chest.
But on the night Xie Yi cut off the flesh bearing that mark, Su Mu suddenly realized something was amiss.
“How did you know the exact moment I was poisoned? And why did you show up a month early?”
Xie Yi remained silent, blood from his wound soaking through his robes. His sapphire eyes brimmed with anguish – or was it just a flawless act?
Between a once-arrogant husband now seeking redemption, and a gentle soul willing to die for her – who truly held the darkest secrets? And could it be that Su Mu and Yan Jiyue weren’t the only ones given a second chance at life…?
