Despite Eun Soo’s words that he could go to Seo Yeon Ji, Hyuk Joo didn’t move.
Staring at him standing still, Eun Soo reached out and grabbed the phone.
“Ms. Seo Yeon Ji?”
— …….
Perhaps shocked that Eun Soo would answer the phone, Seo Yeon Ji was silent. Eun Soo, with a bewildered look in her eyes, stared at Hyuk Joo who was looking at her, and spoke to Seo Yeon Ji over the phone.
“It’s Eun Soo. Send the hospital’s location to Mr. Hyuk Joo via a message. We’ll be there soon.”
Having said what she had to say, Eun Soo hung up the phone.
When she lifted her head, she saw Hyuk Joo standing there with a pale face. Eun Soo forced a smile, lifting her pretty lips.
If she hadn’t done this, Hyuk Joo would have been torn between the obligation of being Eun Soo’s husband and the affectionate feelings he had for Seo Yeon Ji.
Of course, the conclusion of that dilemma would not be the former, but the latter.
Eun Soo didn’t want him to waste time unnecessarily.
Handing the phone back to Hyuk Joo, Eun Soo sat in the chair next to her mother’s bed.
As if to show that no matter what happened, she wouldn’t change, Eun Soo deliberately acted nonchalant.
“I’ll say that I fell asleep at home and couldn’t answer the phone. You should say the same, Mr. Hyuk Joo.”
“……”
She thought he would say he would do so or thank her, but Hyuk Joo didn’t respond at all.
Was he not pleased with the situation where she was directly communicating with Seo Yeon Ji like this?
He might have thought that she was being rude. That’s why he might be angry with her now.
“It’s the emergency room.”
Uncomfortable with the silent standoff, Eun Soo explained the situation Seo Yeon Ji was in.
That right now, the urgent matter for Moon Hyuk Joo wasn’t the emotional conflict with Eun Soo, but Seo Yeon Ji.
“You….”
“Hurry up.”
Throwing words to rush Hyuk Joo, who was furrowing his neat forehead, Eun Soo fixed her gaze on her mother lying on the bed.
Then she raised her hand and stroked her mother’s hair.
Mom, I’m doing well, aren’t I?
Please say so. Please.
On the verge of bursting into tears, Eun Soo bit her lips hard.
She heard the sound of Hyuk Joo’s footsteps walking out of the hospital room. The footsteps gradually became fainter.
Shrugging her trembling shoulders, Eun Soo tightly held her mother’s hand. The action was intended to seek stability, but her whole body, not to mention her hand, was shaking as if she had turned into a lifeless paper doll.
Eun Soo turned her head and stared at the closed door.
“……”
Until the moment she practically pushed him out, Eun Soo had secretly hoped that he would not say he wouldn’t leave.
But now that Hyuk Joo had left, she found her foolish self, still clinging to the hope that he might return, laughable.
Could there be such a contradiction?
She wanted to stop, asked to break up, pushed Hyuk Joo who was just standing there, and yet she desired him to be by her side.
As Eun Soo gazed hopelessly at the closed door, a tear welled up in her eyes and fell.
Time passed relentlessly as she sat blankly.
When she looked at the clock, it was already past 3 in the morning. But Eun Soo couldn’t sleep.
She chewed her lips in the darkness, with only the indirect light turned on just enough to illuminate the room minimally.
The phone, fully charged, had been untouched for hours. She picked up the phone that hadn’t received any messages and then put it back down.
Eun Soo lay on the makeshift bed and curled up.
She closed her eyes slowly, leisurely.
She thought it was just a brief moment when she closed her eyes, but when she opened them again, it was already early morning.
Perhaps due to the tears she had shed while sleeping, her eyes wouldn’t open properly. As Eun Soo rose from the chair, she swayed a bit. This was because her vision spun for a moment.
“Sigh…..”
With one hand, she held onto the bed railing, and with the other, she cradled her belly.
The action of unconsciously trying to protect her child felt strange to Eun Soo.
And with that, guilt washed over her like a flood. She felt as if she had been entirely devoted to her own feelings, neglecting to think about the child.
She shouldn’t be like this.
She should no longer sleep uncomfortably on her side, yet she foolishly forgot about the child inside her.
“Are you awake?”
At the sudden sound of Hyuk Joo’s voice, Eun Soo turned her head.
Hyuk Joo was standing, his gaze fixed outside the window.
When had he come?
Through her swollen eyes, she saw the tidy Hyuk Joo. His disheveled appearance from yesterday was gone without a trace, and he was standing there in his usual neat form.
Suddenly, she felt pitiful, in the same clothes as yesterday, her face a mess.
“I’ll go freshen up.”
Eun Soo fled into the bathroom. Her reflection in the mirror was a sight to behold.
She washed her face and applied the lotion that was on the sink. Perhaps due to washing with cold water, her swollen eyes seemed to have subsided a bit.
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.
[Note: This story will not specifically point out the male lead’s reincarnation time point; it’s all in the details. Whenever you feel that the male lead is acting strangely, he has most likely been reincarnated.]
