Secret Baby (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 49

Seo Ha suppressed her confusion and cautiously opened her mouth.

“Principal, I don’t understand what you mean.”

“The reason I haven’t told you until now is because Hyun Young asked me not to say anything. Actually, Hyun Young and I are distant relatives, but we grew up like close friends—like sisters.”

Seo Ha was so stunned by this unexpected connection that her mouth fell open without her even realizing it.

“Oh… I see…”

“It was five years ago. By coincidence, after Teacher Kim settled in Yangpyeong, she contacted me. She asked me to take care of you—said it’d be tough raising a child alone and that it’d be great if I could help. She even promised to cover all the expenses for you and Min Jun.”

As if reading Seo Ha’s thoughts, Yoon Hee continued her explanation.

“I didn’t mind at all. Our kindergarten was short on teachers and students anyway. Separate from Hyun Young, I genuinely liked how Teacher Kim worked, so it suited me perfectly. But don’t misunderstand—Hyun Young didn’t directly pay your salary.”

“Oh. Then… was it you who arranged for me to receive that scouting offer from Onnuri Kindergarten?”

“Yes. I asked them to send it. I requested that they bring you to our kindergarten.”

“But why did Chairwoman Park want me specifically at Onnuri…?”

Yoon Hee took a deep breath, exhaling slowly as if weighed down by exhaustion, then continued with a gentle smile.
