Even after receiving the allclear, the gloomy atmosphere at home did not entirely disappear.
Then, my mother collapsed, and Eun Soo also had never properly smiled while nursing her mother.
Even a naturally occurring laugh felt like a major sin.
My mother is so sick, can I laugh like this?
Is it okay for me to be happy?
Such unfortunate thoughts never left my mind.
“Eun Soo.”
“……Yes.”
Eun Soo replied in a calm voice.
“Who would want to be sick?”
Young Ran briefly looked outside the window.
Beyond the window, a garden with blooming royal azaleas was visible. The flowers had been blooming like that since a long time ago. However, it wasn’t too long ago when she uttered admiration seeing those flowers.
Those were the flowers that the deceased Olke had planted himself.
Seeing the royal azaleas bloom in the spring, there were more than once or twice when Young Ran wanted to dig all those flowers up.
When the flowers bloomed, her younger brother’s face became more gloomy, and her nephew was the same. She too, felt the same.
“I wish no more sick people would come out of this house.”
“……”
“It’s cured, but it’s something that could recur.”
Young Ran said, heaving a long sigh.
After a while, her gaze shifted to Eun Soo’s stomach.
How much she wished for a beautiful child that resembled Hyuk Joo and Eun Soo to be born.
There were times when she wondered if the deceased Olke was upset about his family being happy without him. That’s why Young Ran never failed to conduct a memorial service for Olke at the temple that took care of his memorial tablet every month.
Perhaps.
Young Ran slightly furrowed her brow.
Could it be that the deceased Olke had helped.
Could it be that she didn’t want a sick daughterinlaw like me, and so she prevented Eun Soo from conceiving a child.
“If a child was born…….”
“…….”
Eun Soo swallowed her dry saliva.
Her throat stung as if she had caught a severe cold.
Unconsciously, I placed my hand on my belly at the mention of the word ‘child’. Then, I suddenly realized that my action might cause a misunderstanding.
She folded her hands neatly instead of wrapping them around her stomach.
“You must have been worried that the child might become sick like you.”
Tears that were barely held back streamed down her cheeks.
Young Ran rose from her seat and walked over to Eun Soo. She extended her hand and wiped Eun Soo’s wet face.
“It’s true that I was angry with the feeling of betrayal, wondering how you could deceive me. After all I’ve done for you.”
“I’m sorry.”
“It wasn’t meant to be from the beginning. I think I’m receiving punishment for forcing a relationship that wasn’t meant to be.”
“……”
“If the relationship was forced, it’s right to tidy it up at this point.”
Eun Soo nodded.
She seemed to understand what Young Ran wanted from her.
“I will explain well to Mr. Hyuk Joo later.”
“Alright.”
“I will take only what I need and leave.”
Eun Soo wiped away the tear drop hanging from her chin with her hand. And she bowed her head in greeting.
“I’m very thankful for everything.”
“Yes.”
Young Ran took a step back.
And she watched Eun Soo packing her clothes.
While she felt thankful to Eun Soo for obediently following her will, Young Ran was anxious.
In case Eun Soo, like her father, could not give up her greed and left some traces to grip Hyuk Joo’s heart.
Even though they were a couple living without love, the nephew couple had a deep affection for each other for the past two years.
Sometimes, that affection was more dangerous than love. Therefore, Young Ran did not take her eyes off Eun Soo’s hands until she finished packing her belongings.
“Did you pack everything?”
“……Yes. Please throw away the rest.”
“Do that.”
As soon as she answered, Young Ran called the driver. Since he was on standby nearby, the driver soon came up to the second floor room.
“Load this into the car.”
“Yes, Chairman.”
The driver took Eun Soo’s suitcase and left.
Young Ran grabbed Eun Soo’s hand and spoke.
“I have reopened your account.”
“……You don’t have to. The money wasn’t mine from the beginning.”
“You’ll need it to live on your own. Don’t even think about relying on your father.”
“……”
“That man will be arrested soon. I guess he won’t see the sunlight while he’s alive, so keep that in mind.”
Eun Soo felt relieved for a moment.
Even if she parted ways with Hyuk Joo, her father had been the biggest concern.
If she gave birth to a child, her father would try to satisfy his greed again using that child as an excuse.
“Stay in Jeju Island for a while.”
“……Yes.”
“If Hyuk Joo contacts you, act as if nothing happened.”
“I will.”
“Don’t go far.”
“Yes. I’m ashamed… I’m really sorry.”
Eun Soo asked for forgiveness again in a choked voice.
“Let’s not meet each other in the future.”
“……”
“That’s how you ask me for forgiveness. Understand?”
Young Ran spoke with a sense of urgency.
Eun Soo nodded.
Wrapping her hand around her stomach that didn’t feel anything yet, Eun Soo paused for a moment to wonder if she was doing something wrong again.
‘You must have been worried that the child might suffer like you did.’
The words Young Ran had just said suddenly crossed Eun Soo’s mind.
What would happen if he found out about this child?
Eun Soo suddenly felt anxious.
Young Ran had said she hoped they wouldn’t meet again. The implication in her words was to remain unseen until death.
Until death.
That was her intention all along.
Naturally, it meant she had to keep the existence of the child a secret.
“I’ll be sending Director Kim soon, so keep that in mind.”
“Yes.”
“The flight will be delayed.”
“……”
“Oh, it’s a 6:40 flight. Better hurry.”
“……Goodbye.”
No reply came to her farewell.
Eun Soo stood still for a moment, then turned and left the bedroom. As she looked at the small room in the middle of the secondfloor hallway, she hesitated.
She had to take her mother’s diary and a few other items.
“What are you doing?”
“Pardon?”
Surprised by Young Ran’s voice from behind her, Eun Soo quickly turned her head.
“Go quickly.”
“Yes……”
Eun Soo hurried her steps again.
She planned to contact Director Joo separately and ask him to send the box in that room.
Eun Soo left the house and got into the car. Sitting blankly in the slowly moving vehicle, she was lost in thought.
Then the phone in her hand rang. It was a call from Hyuk Joo.
