The 7-Day Contract (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 124

Stepping out of the prosecution office lobby, Seon Young felt dizzy as the bright sunlight hit her head-on.

Covering her forehead with her hand, she precariously lowered herself onto a flowerbed and briefly caught her breath.

Once again today, witnessing Hyun Ah’s wretched, tearful breakdown made her heart feel as if it were being ripped apart.

Every time she heard the snip-snip of pruning shears trimming branches, goosebumps rose along her neck.
