What was she pondering and weighing? Especially in the midst of her mother’s life and death.
“Hmm. Seems like you don’t believe it, but that doctor already has a lot of successful surgeries for similar diseases. It’s just not known domestically. What will you do? They’re busy, so once they finish the scheduled surgeries, they’ll return abroad immediately. If you miss this chance, there won’t be another one.”
In anxiety, Seolwon’s throat tightened, and she swallowed hard.
Anyway, staying as it is, there was no hope for her mother.
She couldn’t miss the last chance to save her mother.
“Okay. What should I do?”
As if she had prepared in advance, she clearly conveyed her demands.
It was a declaration more cruel than expected.
To leave Kwanchae-ha’s side. Also, to do so by disguising as a completely dead person.
“Why go to such lengths… you know. Anyway, our contract will end in a few days. Kwanchae-ha and I won’t have any relationship…”
“No. You have a child. Even though you haven’t told Kwanchae-ha yet.”
Had that fact already reached her ears?
Baeksara’s eyes were strangely shining, and Seolwon cautiously touched her still-hidden belly.
“That child will undoubtedly be an obstacle when I remarry Kwanchae-ha. Even though I haven’t told Chaeha yet.”
Remarry… why?
She already thought it couldn’t hurt any more than it did, but upon hearing those words, the pain seemed to double.
Without caring about the swaying Seolwon, Baeksara sharply stuck her.
“Think about it rationally. It’s just a contract, but if suddenly a child appears, do you think Chaeha will be happy? Moreover, your mother’s reaction should be obvious without saying.”
“…”
Unable to refute, Seolwon’s lips trembled with bitter acceptance.
Sad but felt to be the closest to the truth.
A child not acknowledged, not welcomed.
She didn’t want her precious only child to come into the world in that way.
“Quietly leave. If you do as I say, I will wait for the appropriate time after the surgery and send your mother to you. You just have to hide and wait.”
“Really… you’ll save her?”
“Sigh. Hard to believe. If you doubt it, just let her die quietly in that state.”
As Baeksara muttered under her breath, Seolwon urgently raised her head.
“No. I’ll leave. I’ll leave Kwanchae-ha… Please save our mom. Please…”
“Okay. Then listen carefully to what I say from now on.”
Tears welled up in Seolwon’s eyes as she vigorously nodded her head.
Soon, a cruel verdict flowed from Baeksara’s lips.
‘Leave Kwanchae-ha to save your mother.’
It was truly the devil’s whisper turning her heart upside down.
Seolwon, usually very wise, had her judgment scattered into pieces in front of her mother’s life hanging by a thread.
If she had tried to grab even a rotten straw, it was Seolwon’s misjudgment.
“Hey. Is the car ready?”
“…I did as you instructed. I removed the black box a while ago. I packed my clothes and bag as usual.”
“Good. Then, while we push the car up, you stay quiet, hold your breath, and wait.”
“Got it.”
Avoiding the eyes of the particularly unpleasant-looking man and the little ones he brought, Seolwon hid herself.
Now it was an irreversible situation.
Rubbing her fourth finger, now empty without the ring, she forcibly swallowed a sigh.
A deserted breakwater without a single CCTV.
After Seolwon’s white car falls below, she, the owner of the car, would also be considered to have fallen into the sea.
After that, as with such incidents, it would probably be treated as a disappearance.
If she had no qualms about it, it might be a lie, but there was no room for choice in front of her mother’s life.
Seolwon herself wasn’t really going to die, and once her mother safely finished the surgery, she was supposed to return to her side.
Kwanchae-ha. The contract period with him would end a few days earlier.
It was evident that it wouldn’t matter to him whether Seolwon left alive or dead; it wasn’t an important matter.
As Baeksara said, whether Seolwon left alive or dead, it wouldn’t be a significant issue for him.
After they remarried, Seolwon’s existence as Min Seolwon would be completely forgotten in his memory.
Everything would just go back to where it originally was.
So, there was no lingering attachment. There shouldn’t be any.
Trying to gather her resolve over and over, Seolwon watched from a distance as her car disappeared under the sea.
It felt like that scene was me disappearing from Kwanchae-ha’s world, and amidst it, her heart ached.
Except for the lackeys who pushed the car, only the man with the unpleasant face remained by Seolwon’s side.
His role was to guide Seolwon to the location designated by Baeksara.
She innocently thought she could hide in a place where no one would find her, meet her mother, and return to where she used to live.
Touching flowers with her mother and raising a child in her hometown with vast fields.
But the fantasy quickly shattered.
She was hiding her body until dawn to move at an off-peak hour.
Whether he went to report or not, Seolwon, who went out to look for him as he never returned, unexpectedly faced a dire situation.
In the darkness, a man was smoking a cigarette, dragging his tongue.
And from his mouth, unbelievable words were flowing.
“Oh~ he died during this time? Understood. Since I’ve already confiscated the phone, be careful not to hear any external news……. Huh?”
[What’s wrong? What happened?]When Seolwon met the man’s fidgety gaze, she realized what it meant for the world to collapse.
A trembling voice flowed through Seolwon’s lips like a sob.
“Who… who died?”
“Oh. Well. Hmm.”
“Who… who died! I’m asking! Give me back my phone right now!”
“Ah, why is this woman bothering me like this! Just go away!”
“Tell me! Who died! Who died!”
Her echoing voice sounded so surreal.
It felt like this place was not reality but perhaps hell, even for a moment.
Crying out like crazy, Seolwon continued to shout.
The name of her mother, Kim Sunhwa, like Kim Ssunhwa, beautiful and resilient.
The name of her mother she had finally lost, never to meet again.
Male lead is a Love-Obsessed Merman
When he discovers she has gone, he risks everything to pursue her on land, enduring agonizing pain to transform his tail into human legs…
One-line summary: Male lead chases female lead. The male lead’s love is a bit sick, an invincible love brain.
Synopsis
During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.
Servant: I heard that mermen are fierce and brutal.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman obediently rubbing her palm like a puppy: “You call this fierce and brutal?”
Servant: I heard that mermen have no human nature.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman with wet puppy eyes, obsessively calling her ‘A Yang’ like a childish infant: “You call this having no human nature?”
With great difficulty, she releases the merman back into the sea and returns to shore.
Who would have thought that in less than half a month, the merman, who should have been freely wandering in the South China Sea, would shed his scales, endure the pain of losing his tail, transform into human legs, and come ashore to find her?
He kneels at her feet, rubbing her palm, with merman tears rolling down: “A Yang, don’t abandon me.”
