Seyoung lay on the sofa, staring at the screen.
After being discharged from the hospital, Oyeori’s father visited Ma Yeosa.
After the video spread, criticism of Oyeori had an impact not only on her father but also on Oseong Industries.
Mr. Oh didn’t expect leniency for his daughter, but he asked for help in reaching an agreement with Seyoung.
It seemed that even if they could reveal Seyoung’s apology, they wanted to settle the matter and calm it down.
However, Ma Yeosa implicitly refused, and Mr. Oh, through the company’s PR team, made a gesture of apology, stating that Oyeori’s mistakes were his failure to raise his daughter properly.
But even that was overshadowed by reports that Oyeori, who was being investigated by the police, had caused a disturbance.
Unable to believe what Ma Yeosa had said, Oyeori shouted to the reporters at the police station that her mother died because of Taejo and asked them to reveal the truth.
Journalists who had been noting down her words took her story seriously, and through coverage, they confirmed that her statement was different from the truth.
When the fact was reported, people didn’t sympathize with Oyeori, who lost her mother at a young age. Instead, they were shocked by her behavior of blaming others for her mother’s death. According to Taejo, Yeorri also received the accident report and the confirmation document from the police at the time of the incident. However, she denied the facts and tore them up on the spot.
“Short return, as fast as the fall was.”
Seyoung mumbled the words written on the subtitle and closed her tired eyes.
“Hmm.”
Seyoung, who had briefly slept, tossed and turned in bed. Once again, she felt a sharp pull in her stomach, and she groaned, furrowing her brow.
“What time is it now?”
Seyoung blinked her half-closed eyes. It was about noon, the time when Mrs. Ma was supposed to visit.
She caressed her painful belly and tried to get up. When she checked the time with her phone, the doorbell rang, indicating that Mrs. Ma had arrived.
“It seems she’s here.”
Seyoung, who walked to the intercom, confirmed Mrs. Ma’s face and opened the door.
Although she tried to go out to greet her mother-in-law when the front door opened, she couldn’t help but stop midway as her stomach kept pulling her.
“Seyoung, are you okay? Taeho contacted me in the morning, saying you were unwell.”
Carrying a bag, Mrs. Ma entered the house and asked with concern. Seyoung welcomed her mother-in-law with a face devoid of energy.
“I’ve been having contractions little by little since the day before yesterday. Taejo couldn’t sleep because of me.”
“Contractions? Is the baby coming out?”
Mrs. Ma looked at Seyoung with a surprised expression.
“The due date is still about a week away.”
“Who knows? It might come out a bit earlier. If it hurts a lot, go to the hospital.”
“I think it’s Braxton Hicks contractions. I can endure them for now.”
“What about food? I heard you’ve been vomiting after eating. I brought some beef porridge.”
Mrs. Ma took Seyoung’s hand and went to the kitchen.
Sitting Seyoung at the dining table, Mrs. Ma brought out a bowl of porridge she had made and placed it in front of Seyoung.
“Try eating a little. And if it continues to hurt, let’s go to the hospital together.”
While Mrs. Ma called the driver Kim to wait for her, Seyoung picked up the spoon and tasted the porridge.
The porridge with finely chopped beef was mild and savory. It wasn’t too bland, as it was seasoned just right.
However, Seyoung could only put down the spoon without finishing half of the bowl.
“Why? Doesn’t it taste good?”
“No, Mother. It’s just…”
Seyoung raised her hand over her belly, grimacing. The pain that started in her lower abdomen was now rising.
She squeezed out her voice towards Mrs. Ma.
“My stomach hurts too much… I think I need to go to the hospital right now.”
Taeho, who came after receiving his mother’s call, sat in a chair in front of the delivery room. Although his expressionless face disguised indifference, his legs were trembling with anxiety.
“Chaotic. Stop shaking your legs.”
Mrs. Ma lightly slapped her son’s thigh as he fidgeted. Taejo patted his chin with clasped hands as if in prayer.
“Why isn’t it coming out easily?”
“Well, does a baby come out in just 10 minutes?”
Mrs. Ma found her son’s swaying amusing and absurd, so she chuckled.
Entering the delivery waiting room and witnessing Seyoung in pain, crying for six hours, Taejo’s face was filled with worry.
“If I knew this would happen, I should have taken you to the hospital this morning.”
“It’s not like the baby comes out quickly just because we come to the hospital. Seyoung has been having contractions for six hours now. According to Seyoung, today wasn’t even the scheduled due date.”
Taejo wiped his face with dry hands. It was supposed to be the due date in a week, so why were contractions already happening?
“Did you inform the lady of the house? Seyoung went into the delivery room.”
“I had a video call with her when I was in the waiting room earlier. Mother-in-law said she would prepare and come up soon.”
While Taejo grumbled that it was okay, Seyoung, who had been crying with a grimace on her face, burst into tears like a child when she saw Joran’s face.
Although Director Shim came in midway and suggested that Seyoung’s father-in-law or mother-in-law should tear off a strand of hair or pinch his earlobe, Seyoung, who was sobbing in pain, only held onto Taejo’s hand.
“Sigh.”
He patted the hand Seyoung had grabbed. It seemed like thirty minutes had passed since they entered the delivery room, but the baby’s crying hadn’t been heard yet.
“Mom!”
When Taejo was praying for Seyoung’s safe delivery, Yeryeong rushed from the end of the hospital corridor. She glanced at Taejo and the delivery room in order and asked Mrs. Ma.
“Is Dongseo still not here? Is it not time yet?”
“He was in the waiting room, and he entered the delivery room a little while ago.”
“Doesn’t the younger master go in with him?”
“Seyoung told him to come in later.”
Mrs. Ma answered instead of Taejo, who was preoccupied with worry for his wife.
“I see. Yoonjo and Dad will come up soon……”
“Ah!”
At that moment, a scream, as if tearing apart, echoed from inside the delivery room.
Startled by the sound, Taejo quickly stood up. Mrs. Ma and Yeryeong, tense, only stared at the entrance to the delivery room.
And shortly after, the robust cry of the baby rang out.
‘Waaah!’
A relieved smile spread across Mrs. Ma’s face. Yeryeong, with a dazed expression, murmured while looking at the delivery room.
“It seems like it’s born……”
Mrs. Ma approached Taejo. Despite hearing the baby’s cry, he remained stiff, holding both hands tightly with tension.
The tightly closed delivery room door opened, and Director Shim revealed herself. She smiled gleefully at Taejo’s family, filled with tension and joy.
“Congratulations. The baby has ten fingers and ten toes each, a healthy son.”
Mrs. Ma shook hands with Director Shim in joy.
“You did well. How about Seyoung?”
“She’s resting inside.”
“Come in and see,” Director Shim gestured to Taejo. Mrs. Ma tapped her son’s shoulder, signaling him to go in first.
As Taejo approached, Seyoung, who was lying on the bed, looking at the baby, turned to her husband.
“Look at our baby. Right now, the baby is a bit chubby, but really, so small and cute.”
The baby, who hadn’t even opened its eyes, was indeed small and adorable, just as Seyoung described.
Taejo gently touched the baby’s face.
Then, leaning his forehead against Seyoung’s, he whispered softly.
“You went through a lot.”
