“You’re pregnant.”
Caught off guard by the unexpected words, Eun Soo slowly closed her wide eyes and opened them again. The reality of what she had just heard felt elusive, as if she couldn’t be sure it was true.
A faint crease formed on Eun Soo’s smooth forehead.
“……”
“I thought I should tell you as soon as possible, but you didn’t answer your phone.”
“Ah…… I didn’t know it was on.”
“It said it was turned off when I kept trying. The nurse told me you came to the ward, so I came. It’s best to tell you about the pregnancy as soon as possible.”
“A baby…… But there’s no way I could be pregnant.”
Eun Soo shook her head horizontally with a face that said she couldn’t understand, and reiterated.
“There’s no way.”
“It’s a little less than six weeks.”
“I had my period a few days ago……”
Eun Soo trailed off as she started to say she had a short period.
Despite In Woo being a doctor, it was embarrassing to have such a conversation in front of him.
“It could be implantation bleeding. It’s a rare symptom that can occur in the early stages of pregnancy.”
“……”
“You should see a gynecologist tomorrow.”
In Woo quietly watched Eun Soo’s face, her hand on one cheek, looking troubled.
Having a child should be happier than anything else in the world, but Eun Soo’s eyes seemed serious, as if she was pondering something.
Though it was premature to judge, he thought her worries wouldn’t be much different from what he suspected.
Eun Soo hadn’t wanted to marry a husband who couldn’t forget another woman.
In Woo was certain of it.
Moreover, Eun Soo had even tried to remove her dearly beloved mother’s respirator earlier.
In Woo thought about what that action could mean.
The word ‘desperation’ crossed his mind.
Was it not a final struggle after enduring and enduring on her own, ultimately unable to bear it any longer, not an act of taking her own life?
“Eun Soo.”
“……I have a favor to ask.”
“What favor?”
“Please don’t tell anyone that I’m pregnant for a while.”
“Okay.”
In Woo nodded in agreement.
He couldn’t say anything to speculate about the situation Eun Soo was in.
He wanted to chide her, asking why she had to live like that, telling her to ignore everything about the baby and divorce. But that was something he could say because he was a third party.
He hoped that Eun Soo would make the best decision for her in the situation she was in.
The door to the hospital room opened with a desperate knock.
“Doctor!”
It was a nurse.
“The patient, Yoon Ki Beom, just arrived in the emergency room due to pneumonia. He even had a tracheal intubation, but you’ll probably need to take a look.”
“Got it.”
In Woo left the room running after briefly making eye contact with Eun Soo.
Eun Soo, left alone, walked to the sofa on one side of the room and sat down.
She slowly stroked her flat belly with her palm. She felt nothing.
In Woo’s words that it was a little less than six weeks pregnant came to mind.
In six weeks……
It would have looked like a small dot on an ultrasound.
“It would have been better if you came earlier……”
Eun Soo bit her dry lips. She stared into space, then tightly closed her eyes.
I’m pregnant.
What kind of expression would Hyuk Joo make when he heard that?
If he knew about Seo Yeon Ji’s pregnancy, he would have been in a difficult situation, unable to do this or that.
He might have had a headache about the pregnancy of his wife, who was living out of a sense of duty.
“I’m sorry.”
Eun Soo gently touched her stomach with her fingertips.
In a situation on the verge of terrible destruction, I couldn’t simply rejoice in having you, like other children.
Eun Soo repeated the words “I’m sorry” without pause.
What should I do now?
She had planned to discuss divorce when Hyuk Joo returned from his business trip to Dubai. It was as if her father had sensed her intentions, telling her to raise this child while mentioning Seo Yeon Ji’s pregnancy.
While dangling her mother’s life in front of her.
Eun Soo slowly opened her eyes that had been closed. And she looked at the figure of her mother in front of her.
“……”
Could her powerless self find a way to protect her mother and this child?
It was clear what would happen if she continued to live as Hyuk Joo’s wife using the pregnancy as an excuse.
The news of Seo Yeon Ji’s pregnancy would soon be known to her motherinlaw. Using the reason that a child was precious to the family, her motherinlaw would likely tell Eun Soo to raise the child just like her father had.
Eun Soo imagined the sight of the two children growing up.
“……I don’t want you to live like me.”
Eun Soo furrowed her brows.
She knew all too well how hard it was to be ignored by the object of her longing.
She didn’t want her child to feel the despair of being ignored, of hopes crushed and collapsing.
Imagining Hyuk Joo’s face as he looked at the child with the same cold and indifferent gaze he used to look at her, Eun Soo shivered unconsciously.
“I can’t let that happen.”
Eun Soo clenched her fist tightly.

Short scene 1:
Feng Bai Su looked at the young man crying like a pear blossom in the rain before her, and couldn’t help but doubt her life.
Wasn’t the male lead described as a cold and otherworldly figure in the book?
Then who was this poor little thing crying with swollen red eyes and tear-stained face?
Short scene 2:
Wei Jing Mo stared intently at Feng Bai Su who was about to go out, wanting to say, “Be careful on the road.”
Before he could speak, Feng Bai Su suddenly bent down and bit his cheek.
Her peach blossom eyes were full of disdain: “Tsk! You’re so clingy!”
Wei Jing Mo: “…”
