If she had, he would have apologized and promised to completely cut ties with his past. However, Eun Soo didn’t react.
Her expressionless face seemed to be telling him not to cross the line that existed when they first started.
That line had long become blurred and unclear to him. But Eun Soo was still maintaining that line.
Neither approaching it, nor daring to leap over it.
Eun Soo cleaned her mother’s hand with a lukewarm wet towel.
She meticulously applied her mother’s favorite brand of hand cream to the cleaned hand.
“How can even your hands be this beautiful?”
Eun Soo whispered to her mother in a tender voice, a warm smile on her face.
So delicate.
Eun Soo felt as if her mother would definitely respond, saying it was nonsense. Fearing she might miss her mother’s voice, even if it was a whisper, Eun Soo’s eyes were intensely fixed on her mother’s face.
However, her mother’s tightly sealed lips remained unmoving.
“… If I give up, will mother wake up?”
Eun Soo mumbled in a weak voice.
Just as she once told Hyuk Joo, nothing she ever desperately wished for had come true.
The miracle of her mother waking up, Moon Hyuk Joo loving her, that woman not appearing.
Everything she had desperately wished for had happened in reverse.
So what if she wished for the opposite now?
“Mother, I’m foolish, aren’t I?”
Eun Soo gave a dry laugh.
She, who had been staring blankly at her mother’s face, turned her head to check the time.
“It’s already this late.”
Eun Soo rose from her seat. Just then, the head of the family entered the hospital room.
“I came in because it seemed like it was time for you to leave.”
“Yes, I’ll leave it to you.”
After saying goodbye to the head of the family, Eun Soo picked up the bag she had left on the table. She couldn’t find her phone, which she was searching for to check if there were any calls from home.
“Where did I put it?”
“What are you looking for?”
“I can’t see my cell phone.”
“You came in emptyhanded earlier, didn’t you leave it somewhere?”
“Ah……”
Eun Soo touched her forehead with her hand.
She remembered leaving her phone on the bench after calling Hyuk Joo. She thought about checking with the hospital desk for any lost items, but then thought of making a call first.
“Can I borrow your phone?”
“Please make a call quickly.”
The head of the family took out her cell phone from her pocket and handed it to Eun Soo. Eun Soo dialed her own number.
A short signal was sent and a man’s voice was heard.
Yes, I’ve got the call.
“Um, I’m the owner of the cell phone.”
Ah! Where are you now?
“I’m in the VIP ward.”
That’s good. I’m heading there now, so let’s meet at the entrance of the VIP ward in 5 minutes.
“……Okay.”
Eun Soo hung up the call.
She had to hurry down if it was to be in 5 minutes. She said goodbye to the head of the family and quickly took the elevator.
Feeling apologetic about receiving her phone emptyhanded, Eun Soo, who had come out of the elevator, bought a juice from the mini cafe right in front of the entrance.
“I don’t even know who it is…….”
She remembered that she didn’t even ask for a description of the other person. Eun Soo who went out to the entrance looked around.
“Are you the owner of the cell phone?”
A young man in a white gown approached and asked. Eun Soo nodded slowly.
“Here you go.”
“Thank you. And this…….”
“What’s this?”
The man tilted his head as he took the juice Eun Soo handed him.
“Just a token of my gratitude.”
“I was just holding onto it for a while. Anyway, I’ll enjoy it. But by any chance, do we…….”
At that moment, the man was about to say something else.
“Eun Soo.”
Eun Soo turned her head at the sudden call of her name.
Hyuk Joo’s face was seen beyond the window of the car parked in front of the VIP ward.
Why is Hyuk Joo here?
Eun Soo, puzzled, walked towards the car. After giving a slight nod in greeting to the man who had found her phone, she got into the car.
Caught off guard by Hyuk Joo’s sudden appearance, Eun Soo failed to see the name ‘Hwang In Woo’ written on the man’s name tag hanging around his neck.
After fastening her seatbelt, Eun Soo looked at Hyuk Joo.
“Why are you here, Hyuk Joo?”
“You weren’t answering your phone.”
“Is something wrong?”
“No.”
At Hyuk Joo’s words that nothing was wrong, Eun Soo turned her head to scrutinize his face.
The fact that he came to the hospital at this hour when there was nothing wrong was surprising to Eun Soo.
‘The vice president gave us a bonus this morning.’
She remembered what the head of the family had said.
Eun Soo’s heart started to flutter suddenly as she went over Hyuk Joo’s unusual actions one by one.
Could it possibly…
Could it be a signal that he was starting to give me his heart little by little?
But as always, his stoic profile showed no expression.
Just as they were about to leave the hospital, a call came in for Hyuk Joo. It showed only a number, without a name.
It must be a call from the company.
Eun Soo thought it was nothing serious.
Seeing Hyuk Joo hesitate to pick up, Eun Soo cautiously spoke.
“……You should take it.”
“Alright.”
Eun Soo kept her gaze straight ahead. The traffic light was red.
She decided to watch the light change and tell Hyuk Joo when it turned green.
Thinking this, Eun Soo focused on the traffic light.
Oppa.
An unfamiliar woman’s voice.
It was her.
In an instant, Eun Soo bit her lip.
My Arch-enemy Sealed My Memory and Said That He is My Husband
This is an incredibly captivating story that you absolutely shouldn’t miss! I’ll give a brief introduction here, and below you’ll find a detailed synopsis of the plot.
The female lead is a fierce and powerful demon king. The male lead is a once-in-a-millennium celestial lord, admired by the entire cultivation world.
They are equally matched, legendary rivals who have battled for centuries.
In the final duel, the female lead is gravely injured. The male lead saves her, seals her memories, and hides her true identity. He tells her that he is her fiancé. His entire life has been flawless—except for the one thing he never expected, never controlled, and never wanted to control: falling for his greatest enemy. She is his inner demon, his obsession.
When the female lead regains her memories, she is furious at his deception.
She makes his life a living hell.
And somehow, the male lead—possibly a total masochist—doesn’t mind at all. In fact, he’s happy she’s paying attention to him.
Yep, we’re back to my favorite trope: male lead suffering. If you love this kind of story, jump into the pit with me now!!!
Intro
Dong Xia lost her memory.
Her handsome and extremely powerful fiancé Li Qing comforted her: “It’s okay if you can’t remember. I’ll always be with you.”
Everyone thought Dong Xia’s ancestors must have burned incense to get such a perfect fiancé. He was the number one person in the immortal realm, yet he remained chaste and only loved her.
…
The day before marrying her fiancé, Dong Xia finally remembered everything.
She wasn’t suffering from memory loss at all.
Her arch-enemy had made her fake her death, destroyed her cultivation, replaced her memories, and pretended to be her deeply in love fiancé.
No wonder he said, “It’s okay if you can’t remember”!
Dong Xia laughed coldly as she pulled out her long knife: Li Qing, prepare to die 🙂
*
Li Qing, as the supreme being of the immortal realm, was the people’s shining beacon.
The only unknown stain in his life was his affection for Dong Xia, the ruler of the demon realm.
In the final battle of the war between immortals and demons, the sky collapsed and the earth shattered. The ruler of the demon realm was finally slain under the sword of the supreme being of the immortal realm, and everyone in the immortal realm applauded.
The cultivation world lost a ruler of the demon realm.
And in the back mountain of Li Qing’s cave dwelling, he secretly hid away a fiancée.
Notes:
1. The female lead is white on the outside, black on the inside, and the queen of flattery; the male lead repeatedly tests the edge of darkness, a VIP guest at the crematorium.
2. Fantasy cultivation world setting.
