Just because Oh Eun Soo was his wife, Hyuk Joo was only fulfilling his duty as a husband. So, it was certain that once Oh Eun Soo stepped down from her position as his wife, he would return to her as before.
“Moon Young Ran will take care of it, right?”
Color returned to Yeon Ji’s face that had been tightly wrinkled.
Moon Young Ran found out that Oh Eun Soo had suffered from childhood cancer in the past. Given that Moon Young Ran detested sick people to an extreme degree, it was only a matter of time before Eun Soo was driven out of that house.
“If he divorces Oh Eun Soo……”
What would happen if Hyuk Joo’s side became vacant?
“Hoo.”
That spot would be mine.
Her chest throbbed with great anticipation.
The morning light came from beyond the curtains covering the window.
Eun Soo, who had been lying on the bed, slowly got up.
Maybe it was due to the lack of proper sleep.
It seemed as if everything in front of her eyes was spinning.
She remembered the phrase that you could feel dizziness or tinnitus due to hormones in the early stages of pregnancy.
Eun Soo, who came out of the room and went to the kitchen, drank a cup of lukewarm water. But her still throbbing head did not get better.
“Shall I take a walk?”
That seemed like a good idea.
The sky, where it had rained until yesterday, was clear as if nothing had happened. Although it was spring, the days were still chilly in the morning and evening.
She went back into the room, chose a roomy coat and draped it over her shoulder. Then Eun Soo opened the front door and went outside.
Transparent morning dew was settled on the shortly cut grass. Sparrows hopped around the camellia tree with lush green leaves, chirping.
In the peaceful atmosphere, Eun Soo lifted the corners of her lips and smiled. But the corners of her mouth soon fell down.
‘I’m not trying to love you.’
The words Hyuk Joo had said echoed in her ears.
‘I meant that I want to try to get the chance to hang on because I want to be forgiven by you.’
Eun Soo tightly grasped the cuff of her coat sleeve with her fingertips.
A momentary fever came up.
“Should I go to the hospital?”
Eun Soo hadn’t yet gone for an obstetric examination, worrying that her inlaws might somehow find out about her pregnancy.
She had only spoken to In Woo about her condition and received a few precautions to take during early pregnancy.
She had decided to move to a new place the next week. She deliberately chose a house that was ten minutes away from an obstetrician’s clinic.
“I can go to the hospital then.”
Eun Soo gently stroked her belly with her hand.
She still couldn’t feel anything, and there was no visible sign. The fact that her child was slowly growing inside her flat belly sometimes felt unbelievable to Eun Soo.
Perhaps she would feel it when she saw the ultrasound.
As she slowly lifted the corners of her mouth, Eun Soo carefully took a step into the yard. The moment she cautiously lifted her head and moved, Eun Soo was surprised and stopped right there.
She had made eye contact with Hyuk Joo.
She thought he would naturally return to Seoul.
Hyuk Joo was in the same clothes as when they met yesterday.
Had he spent the night like that?
Once again, her vision spun.
Biting her lip hard, Eun Soo took another step. To hide her dizzy expression, she put strength into her face.
Eun Soo, who had gone outside opening the gate, asked Hyuk Joo, who was looking at her.
“Why are you here like this?”
“Just in case.”
“Did you wait knowing that I would come out?”
“…No.”
Hyuk Joo responded with a bitter smile. He stroked his dry face once with his hand and said,
“You got rained on yesterday.”
“……”
“I couldn’t leave thinking about how you always coughed after getting rained on. I thought it would be a big problem if you fell ill since it’s a secluded place.”
Hyuk Joo had been worried about her.
And he was sincere.
Unable to bear the situation, Eun Soo lowered her gaze.
She had made up her mind to put an end to it all, to truly finish it once and for all. But what was he trying to do by shaking her up now, so belatedly?
He was a man who, after deeply wounding her heart, laid out excuses as if saying he didn’t mean to do so.
She couldn’t be swayed again here.
Eun Soo slowly took a deep breath. And then, she lifted her head.
“Thank you for your concern.”
Pretending to be fine, she smiled, putting strength into the corners of her mouth. Looking at Hyuk Joo, who was weakly nodding his head, Eun Soo spoke in a deliberately composed voice.
“Be careful on your way.”
“Eun Soo.”
Ignoring his desperate voice, Eun Soo walked away.
Cough, cough.
A dry cough came out. Fearing that the sound of her cough might reach Hyuk Joo’s ears, Eun Soo covered her mouth with her hand. But once started, the cough didn’t stop.
In the end, Eun Soo, unable to take another step, coughed as if vomiting. It was a noisy cough, enough to make her shoulders and back shake. Perhaps because of that, the throbbing headache returned.
Tears seeped out as she rubbed her closed eyes.
Wiping away the tears that welled up in her eyes, Eun Soo raised her head.
“Let’s go to the hospital.”
Hyuk Joo’s voice was serious.
She had only coughed a few times, yet the way he looked at Eun Soo was as if looking at an emergency patient with a serious injury.
“It’s okay.”
“Let’s go to the hospital first.”
Hyuk Joo’s voice was firm. Before Eun Soo could repeatedly show her refusal, he grabbed her hand straight away.
He intended to take Eun Soo to the hospital no matter what happened.
Feeling his strong determination in his touch, Eun Soo was helplessly pulled along. As soon as Eun Soo got into the car, Hyuk Joo halfreclined the seat.
“You might feel dizzy, so keep your eyes closed.”
At his words, Eun Soo closed her eyes. She thought it would be better to do this than to sit awkwardly next to him on the way to the hospital.
‘All I have to do is say I have a cold and get some medicine.’
She thought that obediently going to the hospital might be able to block any unexpected suspicions.
Whether it was because she was in the car with her eyes closed, drowsiness started to set in.
Having not slept properly all night, Eun Soo fell asleep for a while. Then, after some time, she woke up to the sound of the car coming to a stop.
Seeing the large university hospital building in front of her, Eun Soo spoke with a bewildered face.
“……Why have we come here?”
“Just in case.”
Hyuk Joo got out of the car first, then walked around to the passenger side and opened the door.
“I contacted the hospital in advance. They know about your condition, and I asked them to transfer all your past medical records here, so all you have to do is get tested.”
Faced with a completely unexpected situation, Eun Soo tightly shut her eyes.

My Ex-Girlfriend Is The Regent In The Female-dominant World (Male lead transmigrates to the matriarchal world)
Two years ago, Gu Sui picked up a homeless woman in ancient costume from the street.
Apart from occasionally claiming to be a princess from a female-dominant country due to illness, her figure, appearance, intelligence, and martial arts skills were impeccable.
Naturally evolving from roommates to girlfriends, as time went on, Gu Sui found it increasingly difficult to tolerate her queen syndrome.
“Mu Jiulu, can you stop controlling me inside and out? Let’s break up.”
Gu Sui made a breakup call, and since then, he couldn’t find any trace of her.
A year later, Gu Sui, who was planning to move, woke up the next day and found himself in a different place.
“Young Master, today is the day you choose your Wife-master through martial arts competition at Jade Dew Pavilion. Please get up quickly.”
Gu Sui: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
As the only son of a general’s mansion in a female-dominant dynasty, the young empress personally issued a decree allowing Gu Sui to select his Wife-master through martial arts competition. Whoever could defeat him could marry him.
Gu Sui: “……”
He didn’t inherit the original owner’s martial prowess, so anyone could defeat him! And what the hell is a Wife-master?
Forced to come to Jade Dew Pavilion, the densely packed women below made Gu Sui’s agoraphobia act up, and his face was full of resistance.
Until he saw the Regent sitting on the second floor, with a smile on the corner of her lips, her eyes wicked and nonchalant.
Hmm… she looked a little familiar.
It turned out that the Regent also found him a little familiar.
Mu Jiulu fiddled with her bone clasp, her deep gaze locked on the man who was out of place in this world.
“Finally, I found you.”
