“No. Seeing Haeyeon’s smiling face makes my tiredness fade away.”
His warm embrace felt soothing. Waving goodbye to Do-ha in the garden, Haeyeon remembered something and frowned slightly. She should have done it earlier but kept postponing it, half due to lack of time, half due to reluctance.
It was a visit to the hospital.
Of course, there were other reasons for not going. In the current situation with Soorin challenging her and possibly Chairman Yoon, a hospital visit might provide them with more ammunition against her. But if she kept avoiding it due to fear, she couldn’t move forward.
“I must go.”
Determined, Haeyeon left the house. Now, with a week left before starting work at Dallikoffe, it was the perfect time for a medical check-up.
Haeyeon chose a hospital a bit far from her neighborhood. It seemed better to get various tests done at a larger hospital. Despite having an appointment, she had to wait due to the crowd. While replying to texts, it was finally her turn.
“Min Haeyeon.”
Taking a deep breath, Haeyeon stood up. Her heart raced uncomfortably, but she forced herself to ignore it and entered the consultation room. After explaining her situation to the doctor, he diagnosed her.
“Patients like you are aware and come to us.”
Haeyeon readily agreed. The results were as she already knew. But she didn’t come to the hospital just to confirm the obvious. She waited for the doctor’s next words.
“The causes can vary. It could be a physical trauma to the brain, medication, or disease. Often, it’s severe stress or psychological shock.”
Haeyeon felt heavy-hearted.
How exactly did she lose her memory? Though she couldn’t know the exact cause right away, the test results might at least guide her future direction. With that, she might get some help in uncovering her secrets.
According to the doctor, memory loss doesn’t mean everything disappears. Often, information related to the cause is lost. Hearing this, Haeyeon resolved to focus her investigation on the evidence she found proving her amnesia.
“Recovery might never happen, or memories might naturally return. Unexpectedly, memories often resurface in daily life, so don’t be too anxious.”
After the consultation, Haeyeon scheduled an appointment for an MRI and EEG. Due to the large number of bookings at the hospital, she could only get an appointment a month later. She set it up and left the hospital.
“Sigh…”
On her way home, driving, Haeyeon’s mind was in turmoil, stirred by something the doctor said earlier.
Until now, she had been so preoccupied with unraveling the events related to Do-ha that the cause of her memory loss had been pushed to the back of her mind. However, after the consultation, an uncontrollable curiosity lingered in her head.
Why did I lose my memory?
As she focused on that thought, she felt her consciousness drifting away and closed her eyes for a moment to calm down. Suddenly, her phone rang. Smiling comfortably as she picked up the phone on the passenger seat, she felt relieved. The call came just when she needed a break, especially with her headache.
It was Miss Agassi. Haeyeon smiled and answered the call.
[Star Icon] [Star Icon] [Star Icon]“Welcome.”
The secretary director of CH Maice respectfully bowed to the visitor. She had been waiting, having received a call from the lobby. The visitor, well aware of their status and relationship with her boss Do-ha, was greeted even more courteously by the secretary. Chairman Yoon Myung-gil confidently entered the CEO’s office.
The office was silent. Although Do-ha had been informed of Chairman Yoon’s visit, he did not look up at her while seated. Despite being mother and son, they lacked even the most basic greetings, a common occurrence for them.
Chairman Yoon walked to the center of the table with a mysterious smile, neither laughing nor not laughing, and sat on the plush couch without waiting for permission from the room’s owner. She raised her eyebrows as she faced the cold Do-ha.
“You seem very busy. But I guess it’s inevitable.”
“Just state your business. As you said, I’m busy.”
Despite Do-ha’s flat response, Myung-gil maintained her graceful smile. Do-ha was strictly business-like and cold. His expression would have made a weaker person bow their head, but Myung-gil continued unfazed, regardless of his expressions.
“I’d be okay even if you weren’t that busy.”
Myung-gil said nonchalantly as she received the tea from the secretary. If someone else had heard her say she wouldn’t mind if her son’s business wasn’t doing well, they would have found it odd. But Do-ha knew that her words were her true feelings.
“Chairman.”
Do-ha’s voice was heavy and his expression icy. The temperature in the CEO’s office seemed to drop, yet Myung-gil smiled lightly.
“That girl visited Daechi-dong yesterday.”
“I’m aware.”
Do-ha’s responses were consistently monotone. Myung-gil crossed her legs and leaned on the armrest in a dominant posture, her usual stance as the ‘superior’. Despite her age, her eyes were sharply curved, filled with acuity as she stared directly at Do-ha.
Even faced with such a challenging provocation, Do-ha remained unexcited and emotionless. Myung-gil sometimes wondered what was inside his head. It would be beneficial for business, right? She smirked.
“That child said she might not be able to visit Daechi-dong because she’ll be working at the company. She’s become quite brazen.”
“Is that so?”
Do-ha’s blunt reply was less tiring due to the lack of emotion. But maintaining such an attitude throughout the conversation could become irksome. It was a kind of ‘familial aversion,’ but Myung-gil was unaware of it.
“Mother was very upset.”
“Chairman Yoon.”
Finally, when Myung-gil used the term ‘mother’—a phrase Do-ha particularly disliked—he looked up. She had deliberately used that term to provoke him. Since a time long forgotten, Do-ha had always addressed her as ‘Chairman,’ and only occasionally reacted when she referred to herself as ‘mother.’
“You remember the contract, don’t you?”
As Do-ha responded seriously, his already cold face turned as icy as a glacier.
“Please ensure you keep the contract, Chairman.”
“Of course. How much longer is left?”
No response came from Do-ha. Myung-gil, too, felt no need for further conversation. With a meaningful remark and a gentle smile, her attitude remained calm. It was impossible to guess what she was thinking.
Do-ha’s expression was similar. The difference was, while Chairman Yoon concealed her thoughts with a smile, Do-ha erased his expression completely to hide his inner feelings.
As Chairman Yoon Myung-gil left the CEO’s office, the secretaries of CH Maice stood up in unison to see her off. Watching her departure, Do-ha thought of Haeyeon.
“Don’t worry too much. You know, mother always disapproved of me doing nothing. She must be happy that I decided to work.”
He didn’t believe those words, but it was unclear why Chairman Yoon had visited him the day after the event.
Rising from his seat and moving towards the window, Do-ha’s gaze seemed sharp as needles. He was particularly agitated by Chairman Yoon’s remarks about the contract.
The situation was dire. If Chairman Yoon targeted Haeyeon in the current scenario where he couldn’t protect her properly, it would be disastrous.
Do-ha raised his hand to his face in a dry wash. He knew Chairman Yoon wouldn’t directly harm Haeyeon under his watch, but that might lead to even more serious circumstances. He picked up his phone and made a call.
[Hello?]“Ju-a, it’s Cha Do-ha. Do you have a moment?”
Do-ha’s eyes sharpened. If he couldn’t move openly due to Chairman Yoon, he realized he could also use someone else’s help.
