She had to first meet the police officer who she believed had saved her, as per her father’s belief.
But when she asked Jang Su Ho for this, he showed a troubled expression for the first time.
“It was the memorial day of that police officer when I heard about this from the executive director.”
Na Young’s eyes wavered greatly at the news that the police officer was already dead.
No wonder Professor Choi Tae Hyuk introduced Hong Sik but never mentioned the police officer. It seemed he already knew.
“What if I tell my father that it wasn’t the police officer but that man who saved me?”
Jang Su Ho’s eyelids, lacking double folds, narrowed sharply upon hearing her words.
“The executive director firmly believes that the police officer is the benefactor who saved his daughter. Without solid evidence, saying otherwise could lead to the worst situation.”
Na Young, holding her forehead, watched the cars speeding on the road.
Solid evidence.
She was the very person involved.
But what could be more solid evidence than her own words?
People who had watched the surgery couldn’t hide their excitement and commented.
“Wow. When those two operate, they seem like they could save even a dying person. Such an imposing aura.”
“It’s the first time I’ve seen an assistant stealing the spotlight from the surgeon.”
“But today’s surgery was too easy for them. It would have been more entertaining if it was a more challenging surgery.”
Na Young frowned at the careless words spoken without knowing how much Professor Choi Tae Hyuk struggled with this surgery.
Still, she was relieved that the surgery ended safely.
She couldn’t like Yoon Ina, but today, she felt grateful to her.
Na Young checked her watch.
Professor Choi Tae Hyuk must have followed to the intensive care unit.
Since she expected him to stay there until Madam Hwang woke up, Na Young didn’t contact him first.
Beep beep.
Upon hearing the message alert, she checked it immediately.
As expected, it wasn’t from Professor Choi Tae Hyuk.
It was a message from Jang Su Ho.
At the mention of a background check, Na Young’s eyes grew heavy.
It wouldn’t take long to find out that Professor Choi Tae Hyuk was an orphan.
It was certain that this wouldn’t please her father.
But Professor Choi Tae Hyuk was the man who saved her.
Therefore, her father should only be grateful to him.
However, Na Young’s expression turned grave, knowing that this wouldn’t be revealed even with a thorough background check.
There were two choices.
To be honest from the start and trust her father with everything, or to keep silent about it and go against her father’s opposition.
Na Young lifted her head.
She decided to choose the latter.
Reminding her father of the kidnapping incident was too risky.
If her father never believes her story, he might even try to harm Professor Choi Tae Hyuk.
If he believes it’s for protecting the family, he will surely do so.
Na Young knew that even if they had to part ways, she could never hurt him.
Cha Hyun arrived at the hospital late at night after finishing his shooting.
Madam Hwang had been moved from the intensive care unit to her room and was sleeping, with Tae Hyuk keeping watch.
“Where’s Hong Sik?”
The first question Cha Hyun asked as he entered the room was answered briefly by Tae Hyuk.
“He went home.”
Today, it was his turn to watch over the room.
Cha Hyun approached the bed and examined Madam Hwang’s face.
He didn’t bother to ask if the surgery went well.
If it hadn’t, Tae Hyuk wouldn’t be sitting so calmly.
“Didn’t your grandfather come?”
It was a major surgery, worth a visit from a 30-year employer.
“I told him not to even come near the hospital.”
“You always blame your grandfather whenever something bad happens.”
“Then is it your fault, not my grandfather’s?”
Tae Hyuk glared at him, questioning, and Cha Hyun let out a short laugh.
“So, who will you blame when your grandfather gets sick next time?”
“If you’re going to talk nonsense, get out now.”
Tae Hyuk’s immediate anger made Cha Hyun shake his head.
No matter how much they bickered throughout their lives, they were each other’s only blood relatives.
In difficult times, they were the first to rush to each other’s aid.
“Shouldn’t Na Young at least know who your grandfather is?”
Cha Hyun’s point made Tae Hyuk’s expression harden.
Cha Hyun seriously advised him.
“If she finds out from someone else, she’ll think you lied to her.”
“How can she find out from someone else? Unless you secretly tell her without me knowing.”
Tae Hyuk now confronted Cha Hyun about discussing their parents with Na Young without his consent.
No one in the hospital knew who his grandfather was.
“Why don’t you face your grandfather properly now, instead of avoiding him?”
“Grandfather is grandfather, and I am me.”
Male lead fell into her trap — and shattered when she walked away
This is also on my reread list!
This one is a slow burn, but when it burns, it burns hard.
Definitely worth a read, y’all!
The story follows a thousand-year-old seductive spirit who, on a bet, sets out to charm the male lead—a once-promising but unfortunate cultivator.
But just when she succeeds in making him fall for her, she heartlessly leaves, driving him to madness.
Determined to find her at all costs, he captures her, keeping her by his side no matter what, even if she hates him.
I love this kind of trope—I enjoy watching the male lead suffer in agony.
The ending drags a bit with unnecessary filler, but that’s fine.
As long as I enjoy the beginning, I’m good.
