Although Eun-su said the baby’s gender wasn’t important, Hyuk-joo secretly hoped for a daughter.
Every time he saw Eun-su’s slightly swollen belly, he imagined the cute image of a little girl holding hands with Eun-su.
How lovely it would be if the child resembled Eun-su.
With an excited heart, Hyuk-joo headed home to pick up Eun-su.
Ju-hwan sat with a stern expression in the front passenger seat.
The attempt to grab Hyuk-joo’s ankle with the incident on the stone stairs failed before it even began.
Of all times, there happened to be CCTV.
Feeling disappointed about the missed opportunity, Ju-hwan pursed his lips.
“Are you going straight home?”
Ju-gyeong, holding the steering wheel, asked cautiously.
Ju-hwan was prone to exaggeration. He was accustomed to making a fuss like someone on the brink of death even with a simple cold.
Even though the hospital test results showed no abnormalities in bones and ligaments, every time he moved, he kept groaning, and his face blushed in embarrassment when he met the doctor’s gaze. Even now, Ju-hwan was sitting in the front passenger seat, moaning while rubbing his healthy back with his hand.
If he took him home like this, he would have to stick by his side 24 hours a day, attending to his every need.
There was a call from the real estate because someone interested in the house they hastily put up for sale wanted to see it right away. No matter what happened, Ju-hwan had to admit him to the hospital.
So, she suggested a word to Ju-hwan, who was contemplating.
“How can you trust the test at a rural hospital?”
“That’s right.”
“To be honest, the doctor earlier wasn’t that great. He didn’t seem skilled.”
“I thought I was the only one who felt that. I said I was in pain, but he didn’t even consider taking another look and just nonchalantly said it was fine. It felt like he was so indifferent.”
“Let’s go to the university hospital near our house.”
“Should we?”
“Let’s do that.”
Even though only the two of them were in the car, Ju-gyeong suddenly lowered her voice and continued.
“And you have to undergo another prosecutor’s investigation. If you say you got injured in an accident, they might go easy on you.”
“Will they go easy on me if I say I’m in pain?”
“I don’t know for sure, but if you watch TV, even nobles who used to wield power suddenly come out of the prosecutor’s office in a wheelchair. Why do those people do that for no reason? It’s because it has an effect.”
Listening to Ju-gyeong’s words, Ju-hwan nodded.
He wouldn’t exaggerate the pain of an injured person too much. Ju-hwan decided to be admitted to the hospital again as Ju-gyeong suggested.
“Check if there’s a single room.”
“A single room? Hey, what kind of single room is there for us? Just go for a double room or a four-bed room, or whatever is available.”
Ju-gyeong complained about Ju-hwan’s words. Then Ju-hwan suddenly burst into a fit of rage.
“A vacant room? Hey, this guy! Still, I’m the CEO of Myungjin Apparel. Does it make sense for me to share the same room with people whose faces I don’t even know?”
“Even if you knew, wouldn’t it make sense? And, by the way, didn’t you tell me to find a good lawyer for you?”
“A lawyer is a lawyer, and being admitted to the hospital is being admitted to the hospital!”
Sighing, Ju-gyeong took a deep breath.
She didn’t want to spend a lot of money on Ju-hwan’s hospitalization expenses. From now on, she had to somehow prevent spending money and take care of her interests.
“Just hiring a lawyer from the Chief Prosecutor’s Office costs thousands of dollars. And I found out that the result for crimes like embezzlement completely changes depending on which lawyer you hire.”
“That’s true, but…”
“Anyway, you’ll just be lying down. If you feel suffocated, why not go for a walk with me?”
“You know I’m sensitive to sleeping conditions.”
“I’ll buy you good earplugs, so don’t worry.”
“But still…”
Ju-hwan pursed his lips.
He didn’t aspire for a VIP room. Naturally, he thought he would use a single room. However, the fact that he had to share a room with other patients was something he couldn’t accept.
Thinking of his deceased mother Eun-su made it even worse.
Even in a situation where she was already dead, she didn’t act like a queen and occupy a spacious room alone.
Moreover, there were at least three security guards and several caregivers assigned to him. Yet, he felt unjust because he might end up in a six-person room if he complained.
‘How unfair!’
Now that he thought only comfortable living remained, his anger surged when he thought of Eun-su, who had cut off contact as soon as his real mother passed away.
Surely she would have heard the story of him falling on the stone stairs through her son-in-law. However, there was not even a phone call asking if he was okay.
Ju-hwan grinded his teeth at this.
Seeing Ju-hwan fuming, Ju-gyeong spoke towards him confidently.
“Honey, don’t just look in front of you. Look far away.”
“What?”
“No matter how difficult our situation is, I can’t get you admitted to a single room. It’s possible if you set your mind to it. But if you stake that money as a success fee, won’t the lawyer put more effort into proving your innocence?”
“… You’re right.”
“So, do as I say.”
“Are you looking into the lawyer properly?”
“Of course.”
Ju-gyeong continued with a plausible lie, reassuring him not to worry.
“You can’t just find any lawyer. How could they send someone of your age to prison? Even if we have to sell the house, we have to prevent such a thing.”
“Honey…”
“So, trust me. Have you ever suffered by listening to me so far?”
“No.”
“So, trust me.”
“I trust you, I trust! Now, there’s no one else I can trust but Go Ju-gyeong!”
Looking at Ju-hwan, who shouted with the determination to jump into the fire, Ju-gyeong raised the corners of her lips.
Who would curse someone for hitting Ju-hwan in the back of the head? On the contrary, everyone would probably find it refreshing.
Making an arrogant gesture, saying that she hadn’t seen anyone throwing away a gold mine, she couldn’t be more pleased.
Ju-gyeong’s smile deepened.
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
