Woo-jin’s attending physician, in the presence of Hospital Director Kang Hyeong-min and Seol Ji-hyeon, and even Chairman Seol Mam-joong, felt uneasy being looked at by them.
“Surely he took a sleeping pill… Did I miscalculate the dosage…”
“That’s nonsense! Haven’t you seen Woo-jin even once?”
Although Kang Hyeong-min lowered his voice, his tone was intimidating.
“I apologize.”
There was nothing to say because it was an obvious mistake.
Moreover, not knowing what kind of patient Woo-jin was made the situation even more perplexing.
“What if Su-yeong hadn’t come? Wasn’t it in a perfect condition for a fall? If Woo-jin breaks even one leg on the day you caused this, you have to leave this hospital. Understand?”
As if signaling that Chairman Seol had had enough of Kang Hyeong-min’s continued reprimands, he lightly shook his hand up and down.
After the attending physician left the director’s office, Chairman Seol sat on the chair and asked with a thoughtful expression.
“Is it okay for that girl, Su-yeong, to touch him?”
“Su-yeong didn’t touch Woo-jin first. She just stood there quietly, so Woo-jin touched her.”
Grandfather corrected the Chairman’s words, having watched the situation right next to them.
“It seems that Woo-jin relies a lot on that girl, Su-yeong. What should we do?”
Since there was a conversation with Seol Mam-joong, Kang Hyeong-min cautiously observed his reaction.
Ji-hyeon alternately looked at Grandfather and Dr. Kang, wondering what to do.
Chairman Seol, after sighing heavily, leaned back on the sofa and asked.
“Did you sedate Woo-jin again? What is he doing now?”
At this, the secretary standing faithfully behind him quietly answered.
“He is having dinner.”
“Eating at the hospital? Woo-jin?”
“Yes.”
Upon the secretary’s words, both Kang Hyeong-min and Seol Ji-hyeon looked at Chairman Seol. As if expecting some decision.
“Can that girl stay by his side while Woo-jin is in the hospital?”
“Well, because her mother seems strict, it seems like she has to go home at night.”
Ji-hyeon recalled having talked to her mother a few days ago.
The first call was a call asking what the manager was doing, and the second call was a call asking how a visually impaired person could write. At first, it seemed like she fully trusted him as the CEO of the publishing company.
However, after finding out that Woo-jin was visually impaired, it seemed like she suspected him of using her daughter to stage a drama. Ji-hyeon emphasized that Woo-jin is an exceptional writer and at the same time, a competent manager and assistant writer who must not be without Su-yeong.
Although the wife complained that Su-yeong, despite being an adult, seemed to be overly protected by her mother, Ji-hyeon, during the conversation, felt that she might understand why Su-yeong was so bright and innocent.
“In the evening, Woo-jin will sleep well anyway, so if Su-yeong leaves when she finishes work at that time, it should be fine.”
Kang Hyeong-min looked at Chairman Seol and said. Chairman Seol, in response to his words, swept his chin with his thick fingers and spoke.
“Because of that girl, Su-yeong, Woo-jin won’t go astray this time.”
However, the situation in the hospital was a bit different from what they thought.
Sitting in front of Woo-jin, who had a respiratory tube on his nose, Su-yeong was enjoying the hospital meal.
“Seol Woo-jin, seriously, you’re not eating? Everything is delicious. Is hospital food supposed to be this tasty?”
Woo-jin, chewing on a dumpling, made a displeased expression in response to the slurping sound.
“Don’t talk while eating. Everything in my mouth will splatter out.”
“Oh, even if it splatters, as long as it’s not visible, it’s fine, right? Don’t worry about it.”
Woo-jin thought that Su-yeong’s lively attitude might have caused the respiratory machine to malfunction. Even with the respiratory tube, breathing felt uncomfortably difficult.
“Did you come to see me, or did you come to eat?”
“Both. If Seol Woo-jin doesn’t eat, I’ll throw all this away, and that would be a waste. The hospital bill seems quite expensive here. The hospital is incredibly high-end. I thought I was entering a hotel parking lot… Oops!”
At the sudden noise, Woo-jin, after removing the breathing apparatus, let out a groan.
“You’re annoying!”
“Oh, sorry, sorry. I must have eaten too much. Uh, quickly put on the respiratory mask. Did you come here because you couldn’t breathe?”
As Su-yeong quickly placed the respiratory tube on his nose, Woo-jin shook his head with an unpleasant expression.
“When I read you a book last night, you seemed to be sleeping well… You couldn’t breathe this morning? It must have been really hard.”
What it feels like not to be able to breathe… Su-yeong murmured, imagining being submerged in water.
Woo-jin, who had caused a commotion earlier and now received an injection, wiped his eyes with his palm, feeling drowsy.
“Are you sleepy?”
Su-yeong asked, watching his expression.
“No.”
“But you seem sleepy.”
“I said I’m not sleepy!”
My Step-brother Is Obsessed With Me (Female-dominant)
A gentle female protagonist vs pitiful in the early stage, and a sick male protagonist in the later stage
Cheng Songer transmigrated into the body of a vicious cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name as her in a female-dominant novel.
In the original story, the cannon fodder female supporting character was inhumane, committing domestic violence, gambling excessively, being lustful, and even wanting to sell her stepbrother to a brothel for money.
As luck would have it, she just happened to transmigrate at this time.
Seeing Cheng Qingzhi biting his lip, enduring the tears in his eyes, looking pitiful, her heart softened.
She stuffed the money back into the Madam’s hand and reached out to him.
“Brother, come home with me.”
