Two days later, Uju returned to the Ilsae Kindergarten. After bringing Uju, Seolwon immediately went to the hospital to check Chaeha’s condition. As Chaeha had not awakened for a week, even Director Shim’s expression was filled with worry.
“Vital signs are stable, but the recovery of consciousness is slower than expected.”
“…Could it be because he smoked too much? Or perhaps some aftereffects…”
“From the examinations we conducted, there don’t seem to be significant issues with the respiratory system or internal organs.”
Even though the same questions were asked repeatedly, Director Shim answered sincerely. Then, as if it suddenly occurred to him, he added something else this time.
“According to the man who was there at the scene, he rescued the child incredibly quickly, almost unbelievably fast. Perhaps because he’s the son… he might have exerted superhuman strength.”
“Ah…”
Even though everyone was saying it was a miracle, Seolwon’s heart felt a sharp pain hearing those words.
“It seems to be the result of a seriously overwhelming shock at that time. Let’s just keep an eye on it a bit longer.”
“Yes. Thank you, Dr. Shim.”
“No problem. Take care of yourself too, Miss. You might feel a bit heartbroken when Vice Chairman wakes up and sees this worried face.”
Seolwon looked at the hospital tray she had left half-eaten, and he offered advice. It was a fitting suggestion, so Seolwon lightly nodded. Although she insisted that Uju should finish every grain of rice, she found herself not being able to keep that promise as a mother.
After Director Shim left, Seolwon reluctantly picked up the utensils. She didn’t want to show a pale appearance when Chaeha woke up, as he suggested.
The autumn afternoon was long. The warm touch of Chaeha’s hand, which she was holding, brought sadness like sunshine. Wiping away his drool, his face looked relaxed, like a sleeping prince. Seolwon let out a bitter laugh, thinking that if she kissed him, his eyes might open as if in a lie.
Knock, knock. Seolwon’s gaze moved to the hospital door at the sound of a knock. Since Kwon Kang-ho promised not to let her meet Hyung-joo as much as possible while she was present, she was puzzled about who the visitor was.
“Seolwon!”
“…Lora, James.”
Unexpectedly, the visitors were Lora and James. She intentionally did not deliver the news to avoid causing concern, so it was mysterious how they found out.
Lora handed a flower basket she made herself and embraced Seolwon, patting her back.
“I’ve been so worried, Seolwon.”
“Lora…”
Beyond Lora’s ample embrace, James, whose daffodil-colored beard unusually grew long, entered.
“Ms. Seolwon, don’t be sad. Vice Chairman Kwon will wake up soon.”
“James… I’m sorry. I didn’t say anything.”
“It’s okay. We’re more sorry for suddenly coming like this.”
Looking down at Chaeha lying in bed, Lora and James wore worried expressions. At the same time, they did not forget to glance at Seolwon’s complexion.
At the same time, they didn’t forget to assess Seolwon’s complexion.
“As expected, your face looks quite worn out. I thought so, and I bought Seolwon’s favorite dessert.”
Saying that, Lora shook a shopping bag from a famous cake shop near the flower shop.
Seolwon’s heart, which had been tense all along, seemed to soften a bit at Lora’s affectionate consideration.
The details of the two visitors were quickly revealed.
“Mr. Kwon’s secretary informed us. She said Seolwon might be feeling lonely at the hospital, so how about paying a visit?”
“Director Jung…”
At the prospect of an action he might take, Seolwon’s lips curled up into a smile.
Indeed, waiting alone while staring at Chaeha was a lonely thing to do.
“Now, let’s eat this first, Seolwon. You like fig cake, right?”
“…Thank you, Lora.”
As Lora offered a spoonful generously, Seolwon’s heart warmed at Lora’s kind gaze.
When I fed Uju, did my eyes shine like this to Uju?
I wondered if I could have lived a bit more expectantly as a person, thinking this anew.
“It’s delicious. Lora and James, try it too.”
“That’s why I bought so much of it.”
Pointing to a whole cake, Lora chuckled heartily.
Sharing the fig-scented cake, the three of them exchanged various conversations.
When Seolwon mentioned Chaeha’s condition, saying that he was in good health but still not regaining consciousness, James unexpectedly brought up a meaningful remark.
“I remembered something not long ago. When Seolwon was considering leaving for her hometown with the baby, Mr. Kwon visited the shop.”
“…What?”
It was unexpected.
As if expected, James casually relayed the story from that time.
“He asked about me… about Mrs. Chaeha…”
“He probably had complicated feelings. The fact that you sometimes feel more ignorant about the person you love than you thought can make you feel quite vulnerable at times.”
“…”
“So I talked about Seolwon without any reservation. I also made him try the flower tea I developed.”
“Ah…”
Touching his daffodil-colored beard, James gave a gentle smile.
