On the back of the business card, the appointment date and time were written.
Just in case she would only verbally agree to receive treatment, her father had made an appointment in advance.
“Really…”
Eun Soo let out a low sigh.
At the same time as his marriage, his father, who had been promoted to the president of Myungjin Apparel, had unabashedly revealed his desire to move to a larger affiliate recently.
His father showed great anticipation, saying that he couldn’t just leave her alone if Eun Soo had a child.
Eun Soo came out of the bedroom with her cell phone and medical records. She walked down the long corridor and entered a small room next to the study.
Although it was called a room, it was almost used like a storeroom.
As the boiler piping was sealed, she felt a chill that made her shiver as she entered the room.
She turned on the light and Eun Soo called her father.
— What’s the matter at this hour?
Over the voice on the phone, she heard the sound of chatter. From her father’s slightly slurred speech, Eun Soo realized he was at a drinking party.
“I have something to tell you.”
— Just a moment.
Did he feel that his voice was not normal?
She heard the sound of a door closing, possibly leaving the drinking party.
— What do you want to say?
“I’m going to cancel the hospital appointment.”
— What?
“I don’t see why I have to go to a hospital I hardly know when there’s no problem.”
— What? You don’t know the reason? I’ve never seen such a pathetic woman.
At her father’s insult, Eun Soo bit her lip.
He spat out harsh words like this nonchalantly when things went wrong.
Because it was a familiar situation, Eun Soo spoke in a calm tone.
“Should I cancel the appointment?”
— What do you mean cancel! How hard it was to get this appointment. Do you think I’m doing this only for my own good?
“…….”
— Anyway, you know nothing but me. Shouldn’t you try something when your mother is lying like that? If she hears you have a child, she might jump up. How can you be so cruel?
“Father…….”
Eun Soo clenched her eyes tightly.
She slid down along the wall she had been leaning on and collapsed onto the floor.
— Your mother did everything to save you! But do you do anything other than sitting next to her and holding her hand? If you can do something, you should do anything!
At her father’s yell, Eun Soo’s eyelashes became wet with tears.
How did he know her weakness so well?
Her father had long figured out that the way to shake Eun Soo in his hands was through her mother.
From marriage to the issue of children.
The fact that this wasn’t the end was so clear to her that Eun Soo felt suffocated.
— Your mother could be in any condition at any time, wouldn’t it be nice to give her a grandchild while she’s alive?
“…….”
— Eun Soo. Shouldn’t you try?
Hearing Eun Soo’s trembling breath, her father’s voice softened a bit.
— Your mother prayed at dawn, went to famous temples all over the country and offered worship to save you. But what are you doing, just sucking your fingers? You know what your mother did for you, you shouldn’t be like this.
“I got it. I said I got it.”
Eun Soo cut off her father’s words that continued to reproach her.
It was clear that her father would keep mentioning her mother until Eun Soo agreed to go to the hospital.
Even though she knew she was being used, Eun Soo had no choice but to agree like a puppet.
“I get it, so stop it. I’ll hang up now.”
She put down her cell phone on the floor, and Eun Soo wiped her drenched face with the palm of her hand.
After closing and opening her eyes a few times, her blurry vision cleared.
Ha.
Feeling short of breath, she took a slow, deep breath. Eun Soo, who got up from her seat leaning on her hand, picked up the medical record she had left on the floor.
She opened a box where she had kept a few items she used before marriage. Eun Soo placed the medical record at the very bottom and took out a thick diary.
It was a diary her mother had written when she was sick.
There were three diaries, each so thick that they could not be held in one hand.
“Mother…….”
Eun Soo, who was looking at the diary opened to a random page, called out for her mother and lifted her head, holding back her tears.
It was because of the smudged writing here and there on the pages of the diary. They were traces of her mother’s tears.
How much had her mother cried while writing this?
Wiping away the tears that poured out as if a dam had burst with the palm of her hand, Eun Soo put down the diary.
Eun Soo’s eyes became drenched with memories as she took out a handkerchief folded to one side of the box.
“There’s only one left.”
Eun Soo fiddled with the handkerchief her mother had made, hoping for her recovery.
[Someone said that the meaning of a blue rose is a miracle.I hope a miracle finds our Eun Soo too.
I handed a handkerchief embroidered with a blue rose to Eun Soo, who was vomiting due to chemotherapy.
Mom, why is the flower blue?
I lied to Eun Soo who asked.
It was a red rose, but God changed it to blue to secretly tell you that you won’t be sick anymore.
Good Eun Soo even asks if she could give this to the lady she met on a walk not long ago.
She said that lady seemed to be much sicker than her, she was crying just yesterday.]
Eun Soo held the last remaining handkerchief to her cheek.
The soft touch, which felt like her mother’s warm touch, brought a bright smile to Eun Soo’s face.
“I should have saved it if I knew this would happen.”
Eun Soo brought up a memory from a very long time ago.
It was a cold day like today.
She handed the handkerchief she had in her pocket to a man who was painfully crying, drunk. The man who received the handkerchief murmured as if talking to himself.
It’s warm.
It was a small, insignificant moment, but because of the man’s muttered words about it being warm, that day was deeply imprinted in Eun Soo’s mind.
Eun Soo, who had been sick as a child, was always used to receiving. The fact that she had offered comfort to someone made her heart feel warm. That’s why she remembered clearly the face of the man who said that to her.
It was because of that intense memory that she remembered the connection with him at a glance when she faced Hyuk Joo. But maybe because he was so drunk, Hyuk Joo didn’t recognize Eun Soo at all.
“Back then… he must have broken up with that woman, right?”
Her mother’s words came to mind, saying that the only reason a man would cry like that is because of a woman.
He must have been crying, sitting down on that cold winter night, from the sorrow of breaking up with Seo Yeon Ji.
It hurt as if her heart had been cut by a sharp blade. It was always like this when she thought of her husband’s woman.
Just like the pain of a finger she hadn’t properly treated, thinking it was just a small cut that would heal quickly, it hurt more and more as time passed.
Eun Soo wiped away the tears that welled up in the corners of her eyes with the palm of her hand.
“It’s something I just have to give up on, right?”
If only she disappeared, her husband and that woman would be happy……
Should I rather beg Hyuk Joo for a divorce, so my mother can continue to receive treatment as she is now?
Eun Soo lowered her head.
Tears fell from her eyes in an instant.
It was inexplicable why giving up on Hyuk Joo felt as difficult as the miracle of her mother waking up.
My Ex-Girlfriend Is The Regent In The Female-dominant World (Male lead transmigrates to the matriarchal world)
Two years ago, Gu Sui picked up a homeless woman in ancient costume from the street.
Apart from occasionally claiming to be a princess from a female-dominant country due to illness, her figure, appearance, intelligence, and martial arts skills were impeccable.
Naturally evolving from roommates to girlfriends, as time went on, Gu Sui found it increasingly difficult to tolerate her queen syndrome.
“Mu Jiulu, can you stop controlling me inside and out? Let’s break up.”
Gu Sui made a breakup call, and since then, he couldn’t find any trace of her.
A year later, Gu Sui, who was planning to move, woke up the next day and found himself in a different place.
“Young Master, today is the day you choose your Wife-master through martial arts competition at Jade Dew Pavilion. Please get up quickly.”
Gu Sui: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
As the only son of a general’s mansion in a female-dominant dynasty, the young empress personally issued a decree allowing Gu Sui to select his Wife-master through martial arts competition. Whoever could defeat him could marry him.
Gu Sui: “……”
He didn’t inherit the original owner’s martial prowess, so anyone could defeat him! And what the hell is a Wife-master?
Forced to come to Jade Dew Pavilion, the densely packed women below made Gu Sui’s agoraphobia act up, and his face was full of resistance.
Until he saw the Regent sitting on the second floor, with a smile on the corner of her lips, her eyes wicked and nonchalant.
Hmm… she looked a little familiar.
It turned out that the Regent also found him a little familiar.
Mu Jiulu fiddled with her bone clasp, her deep gaze locked on the man who was out of place in this world.
“Finally, I found you.”
