Young Ran bit her lower lip hard.
Eun Soo was sick?
She couldn’t believe it. However, it was clearly written in the medical record.
Quickly concealing her surprised expression, Young Ran asked with a deliberately calm voice,
“Where did you get this?”
“Eun Soo left it behind when she came to see me, so I took a look.”
“So, you’re saying you stole a look like a sneaky cat.”
Young Ran let out a hollow laugh.
“I didn’t look at it sneakily, it was strange. I’ve never heard that she was this sick.”
“And?”

“Huh?”
Taken aback by Young Ran’s nonchalant reaction, Yeon Ji asked.
“What do you expect me to do after showing me this?”
At Young Ran’s words, Yeon Ji inadvertently took a step back. The dirt and fragments that had scattered on the floor made a strange noise.
She thought Young Ran would be angry if she heard that Eun Soo was sick. She thought she would rage on about whether this was true, how dare she deceive her.
But Young Ran was impassive, as if nothing had happened.
Yeon Ji swallowed her dry spit. The card she had drawn out to push Eun Soo to the edge of the cliff made her feel like she was being cornered instead.
Sweat filled the palm of her tightly clenched hand.
The gaze from Young Ran who was watching her felt not only cold but also eerily chilling.
Excited by Young Ran’s unexpected reaction, Yeon Ji’s voice rose.

“Eun Soo lied to you!”
“And?”
“….”
“You also deceived Hyuk Joo.”
At Young Ran’s pointed remark, Yeon Ji looked at the photos strewn on the floor.
It was a past she wanted to exert her strength to erase. She had even changed her name, and cut off people who knew her in the past, thinking she could perfectly hide it. But she had been found out.
What would happen if Hyuk Joo found out?
Would he despise her?
That was unlikely. To Hyuk Joo, she was as significant as a sore finger.
Even if Young Ran thrust these pictures at him and talked about her past, nothing would change.

Because she could make up an excuse for why she had to do it.
She intended to say she had no choice.
She would say that she had been in pain, which made it difficult to find a proper job. She had been harassed by her medical debt.
“Clean up and leave before Hyuk Joo returns from his business trip.”
“…I don’t want to.”
“Do you want me to clean up myself?”
“I mean, I don’t want to leave like that this time.”
“Then?”
“Let me say thank you and leave. It’s better if I do this, for Hyuk Joo.”
Yeon Ji used Hyuk Joo as an excuse.

She had no choice but to buy time. Young Ran appeared calm in front of her now, but she must have been considering how to deal with Eun Soo.
She planned to watch what would happen to Eun Soo and ask Hyuk Joo for help.
To get out of the crisis immediately, Yeon Ji quickly kneeled.
“I will definitely leave, so please… give me a little more time.”
Young Ran quietly looked at Yeon Ji, who was kneeling in front of her.
Perhaps it would be right to explain the situation and end it as Yeon Ji said, rather than impulsively letting her go as before.
Young Ran nodded in agreement, left the flower shop, and headed home.
She had no time to bother with the likes of Seo Yeon Ji.
In the car heading home, Young Ran had a rather long conversation with the specialist connected by her primary care doctor.
Mother’s baggage wasn’t much.

The baggage, if it could even be called that, consisted only of a few towels, nail clippers, and a few lotions. Eun Soo, carrying her belongings, stepped out of the hospital room, greeted the nurses, and boarded the elevator.
She was about to press the button for the first floor when the elevator doors opened again.
“Eun Soo.”
At the sound of the familiar voice, Eun Soo looked up.
In Woo, not in a gown but in comfortable attire, entered the elevator.
“Did you go to get your things?”
“Yes.”
“Give it to me. I’ll carry it.”
Before Eun Soo could say she was okay, In Woo took the shopping bag from her hand.
While the elevator was descending, Eun Soo, who had been watching the display showing the floor numbers, suddenly turned her head as if she remembered something.

“Thank you for coming to the funeral.”
“I should thank you for something I should do. You look pale.”
“…Do I?”
Eun Soo lightly cupped her cheek with her palm and then let go.
“You probably know this, but you need to eat well.”
“I will.”
“Do you have a moment?”
“Yes.”
In Woo, who got off the elevator, pointed towards the back of the hospital.
“A cafe opened up there recently.”

“Let’s go there.”
“Okay.”
Eun Soo and In Woo headed towards the newly opened cafe at the back of the hospital.
Eun Soo ordered orange juice. In Woo picked up the cups filled with coffee and orange juice and sat at a table outside.
“I thought it might smell inside.”
“Huh?”
Looking at In Woo, who suddenly mentioned smell, Eun Soo tilted her head. Then In Woo smiled and said,
“I thought you might get nauseous.”
“It’s not severe yet.”
At In Woo’s considerate care, Eun Soo smiled faintly.
