Upon the notification of the arrival of the caregiver, the couple returned to HyeonSook’s hospital room.
Se Ah had thought about taking care of the room herself if need be, but luckily, the caregiver seemed to have a good impression.
Kang Woo stood in front of the caregiver.
“I apologize for calling you in the middle of the night. I will pay you generously.”
“Being thrown into sudden situations like this is common in my line of work. It’s alright.”
The middleaged caregiver chuckled, covering her mouth with her hand.
“You won’t have a tough time. The patient is not critically ill. Please ensure her meals are taken care of and keep an eye on her so she doesn’t faint due to anemia. Also, the attending physician will come in for an examination about three times a day. Please let me know if there’s anything unusual.”
Kang Woo handed his business card to the caregiver.
Se Ah was newly surprised at Kang Woo’s stern speech. Although it was polite and courteous, it was too official. The attitude he had shown towards her so far seemed rather warm compared to the sternness he showed to others.
“Just contact me.”
Unable to leave it alone, Se Ah interrupted the conversation. Kang Woo’s gaze shifted towards her. Why, haven’t you said that taking care of household matters is inconvenient? It seemed as though she could read the words in his mind.
“Kang Woo is busy with work. I’ll do it.”
Se Ah wrote her cell phone number on the back of Kang Woo’s business card and handed it to the caregiver.
“Because my motherinlaw is weak, we sometimes have situations like this. She usually gets hospitalized for about ten days, to regain strength and to check if there are any missed symptoms through reexaminations. I’ll visit every day, but if there’s any problem, feel free to contact me.”
“Yes, I will.”
The caregiver smiled with a much more relaxed expression than before.
“It’s getting late, you should go inside now. They say they close the connecting door to the VIP ward after midnight.”
There were less than 10 minutes left until midnight when they checked the time. Se Ah picked up the handbag she had left on the table.
“But where did your father go?”
“He went home. With the young man who was with him and the lady who helps with the housework. For the congressman’s breakfast preparation……”
While speaking, the caregiver glanced at the couple. Se Ah couldn’t help but worry about Kang Woo. The crease between his brows appeared and disappeared silently.
“Should I stay here?”
He had to go to work in just a few hours. If he arrived home, showered and lay down, would he have to get up and leave after just a couple of hours of sleep? Even if the caregiver seemed nice, it wouldn’t be easy to leave her motherinlaw with a stranger they met today.
“There’s no need for that.”
Kang Woo refuted.
The caregiver was hired from a reliable company that only dealt with VIPs. The pay was several times higher than other places. They received documents about their background immediately, so there was no need to worry about their identity.
Despite this, the crease between his brows was only due to his father’s attitude.
“I’ll leave it to you then.”
After a brief greeting, Kang Woo turned around. Se Ah quietly followed behind her firmlooking husband.
((()))((()))((()))
They went down to the underground parking lot.
Kang Woo opened the passenger seat door and made a light gesture. She had hardly ever been in his car, but this was the first time he showed such manners.
She didn’t irritate his nerves by insisting on sitting in the back seat. She sat quietly in the passenger seat as he opened, and with a thud, the car door closed.
At a quick glance, his face looked pale. He had forgotten to start the car and was lightly gripping the steering wheel.
“Do you have something to say to me?”
Whether he had noticed her gaze in the meantime, he looked at her.
“No.”
“I thought you might have remembered some contract terms.”
Kang Woo let out a weak laugh. Gradually, his face came closer.
“Why are you coming closer?”
She was startled by his torso, which intruded almost close enough to touch her in the passenger seat.
“To set the default.”
As if to ask what he meant, Se Ah pushed her upper body back with her eyes.
“You’re pulling away so obviously. It’s disappointing.”
With a twist of his lips, Kang Woo pulled the seat belt and it clicked in place.
“I didn’t ask for this.”
“Usually, the regretful ones keep whining.”
After finishing his words, he returned to the driver’s seat. Soon, he reversed lightly and left the parking lot.
It was awkward to be in such a narrow space with him. Unable to bear the silence, she looked at him. As if it were attached to her body, all her nerves were focused on him.
Despite being in a dire situation, she couldn’t organize her feelings and was still wavering. It was pitiful.
“I’ll think about what you said, Kang Woo.”
Turning the steering wheel, he nodded his head.
“That was faster than I thought. I was expecting you to struggle for a while.”
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
