Chapter 391 – Suspicious Demon (4)
“Come on in.”
These were the words she said to me after finding me standing in front of her door.
After sitting down on her sofa, she was handed a cup of tea by her middle-aged woman who served her.
“Umm…”
She was staring intently in this direction, occasionally letting out unintelligible mutterings.
When her hand goes inside the veil once in a while, it’s like stroking her chin.
By the way, what on earth is that veil made of that I can’t even see with my eyes?
There seems to be some strange energy… , I don’t know what it is.
“Mmm.”
It’s been 30 minutes since I listened to her sobbing and drank tea poured by the dedicated maid.
She slowly felt like she had to say something, so she asked her.
“… “Do you see anything bad about me?”
“Yes that’s right.”
“…”
Shouldn’t I say that it’s not usually times like this?
“Very… , I see something very bad. However… “And when you actually look at it, it doesn’t seem to be that bad.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“Well.”
She gave her answer in a vague expression, but then shook her head and continued speaking.
“I don’t know either? “This is the first time something like this has happened.”
“… Ah, yes.”
Should we attach significance to the fact that it is the first time?
For now, I want to know one thing for sure.
I have no intention of being honest about the thoughts I have inside.
Then there is no need to hold on.
“It’s been a while, so I’d like to talk about work.”
“Is it so. I also don’t think anything will be resolved like this… , Let’s get to work first.”
After finishing off her cooled tea, she said:
“The task is simple. “All you have to do is watch over me until the meeting ends two days later and I board a plane back to my home country the next day.”
“Of course.”
The meeting is in two days.
Who on earth do we meet and what do we talk about in China, so far away from the Vatican?
I was very curious, but I didn’t bother to ask.
I don’t think I’ll be able to give a clear answer, and listening doesn’t mean my job will change.
And to me, there is something more important than that.
“As we discussed earlier, I would like to receive payment in advance for escorting.”
“Of course. “Where is the patient now?”
“It’s a hospital in Beijing.”
Baek Hyun-ah arrived in Beijing first on a different plane than me.
The hospital she was admitted to was a general hospital in Beijing, and she said it was a good enough hospital to have signed a business agreement with a Korean university hospital.
After hearing what I said, she immediately got up from her sofa and asked me.
“Can you guide me?”
“Yes.”
I like this part because it’s refreshing.
* * *
It was the most miserable life in the world.
Of course, there are many people in this world whose fate is more unfortunate than his own.
‘What do you know?’
By nature, humans are beings who care more about their knees that got hurt when they fell on the street than about someone else who got stabbed by a knife.
For her, my life and her brother’s life were the most miserable and painful.
‘Since when did it start?’
Maybe that was the first time.
That was when her parents, who were returning home, were caught up in the crime of terrorists and lost their lives in vain.
At a young age, she became the head of the household and worked hard to live with her younger brother.
From then on, she was already in full bloom. Thanks to her gorgeous appearance and body, she was swayed by frequent temptations.
She said, ‘She said if I stay for one night she will give me some amount…’ ?’
She doesn’t remember the details because it’s a memory she doesn’t want to bring up, but it was a very large amount.
Even if her little girl worked for a whole month, she wouldn’t get even half of that.
Her body was destined to rot and rot when she died.
Even if your body gets a little dirty, isn’t it okay if you can live comfortably?
She had thought that way before.
‘That can’t be possible.’
She didn’t want to be the embarrassed older sister.
I was also worried that my distant past might end up holding her brother back in the future.
Was heaven amazed by that mindset?
She awoke.
He also possesses the talent of a wizard, which is the most in demand and the least in supply in this country.
She was on a roll.
Perhaps because I had a clear sense of purpose, I was promoted quickly and recognized quickly.
If things go on like this for a while, you will have enough money, and then you will be able to live happily.
Just as she was thinking that, her second misfortune came when her younger brother collapsed.
She spends all the money she earned to save her younger brother, and falls for the rumor that it is her cure, taking on the guise of a villain who is no different than the enemy who killed her parents…
‘I lived hard, I.’
She is aware.
I know that soon my life will end.
‘I’m tired now.’
Some time has passed.
Since the guardian did not show up and pay her hospital bills, the magical infusion into my sister would have stopped.
He may be in critical condition by now, or maybe he has already left one step ahead of him.
‘Hang in there.’
I don’t want to play on the tip of their tongues anymore.
However, I don’t think I can go back to a normal life.
So there was only one way for her to become comfortable.
‘I hope this breath ends quickly.’
Ending a lackluster life and returning to the earth.
When you close your eyes and sink deeply, accepting the force pulling you from behind.
A pure white hand penetrated the darkness, grasped her sinking body and pulled her upward.
“Sigh… !”
A body rising at a speed incomparably faster than when it fell.
At the same time, the previously dull sensations gradually become more vivid.
A tingling pain felt in the forearm.
Belt- Belt- Belt-
A beep sound that sounds regularly.
And.
“… I kept my insides… Yo. This.”
“Yes, persimmon…” Is.”
“Hour… , Phil… , Song?”
“…”
The voices of a man and a woman can be heard nearby.
I’m still not fully conscious, so I don’t know what’s being said, but there’s a familiar voice.
‘Who was it?’
The silence that came while I was thinking about it.
At that moment, her eyelids, which had been tightly closed, gradually began to open.
I turn my head, frowning at the light pouring from the pure white ceiling.
I see a familiar face there.
“Seaweed… Dojin… ?”
No.
It’s not a familiar face.
Blurry blonde hair and blue eyes.
This is my first time seeing a foreigner.
But why does it keep appearing overlapping with Kim Do-jin’s face, which has a completely different appearance?
He was clearly relieved when he made eye contact with me.
Finally, with a mischievous smile on his face, he spoke.
“I kept my promise too.”
“Approximately… , Inside…”
What was it?
What promise did you make with him? .
“Ah…”
It occurred to me.
When asked to somehow secure his life, he promised that he would do so.
She asked.
“How…”
I remember.
The terrible pain I experienced right before I lost my mind.
That must have been a restriction placed on me for breaking my oath.
“Ahhh…”
Yes.
He himself lived.
He thought he was going to die, but he survived.
Are you happy to be alive?
It wasn’t.
‘What about my younger brother?’
What would have happened to my younger brother, who would have been left behind while I was down?
Maybe his younger brother is dead, and he’s the only one alive, so… !
That’s when my thoughts started running wild.
Kim Do-jin, who noticed this, wrapped her shoulders and arms with his gentle hands and opened her mouth.
“Calm down. “None of the things the professor thought happened happened.”
A low-pitched voice that lightly presses down on your chest.
He regained his senses for a moment and continued her words while gazing into her dim gaze.
“I took good care of the professor’s younger brother while he was down. And the professor survived because the restrictions were just lifted.”
Every time he opens her mouth, the problems that had made her anxious are relieved one by one.
That was enough.
What if not only you are alive, but your younger brother is also alive?
He said, lightly stroking my head in relief.
“I have some work to do so I won’t be able to come for three days. Until then, I am taking good care of myself. “I’ll come back and answer all the questions the professor might have.”
She shook her head with difficulty and answered in a thick, cracked voice.
“Okay… “Yes.”
With the burden off her mind, she fell asleep.
* * *
“Phew…”
After calming her, who almost went crazy with her flood of thoughts, she let out a sigh of relief.
I can’t help it.
Since I woke up after sleeping for quite a long time, I can’t help but worry about various things.
Still, I’m glad.
In the meantime, you believed me completely.
Her face was completely different, so I wondered what I would do if I started to suspect her, but it seems she wasn’t in her right state yet.
Well, fortunately for me.
“Ugh… , I feel a little lighter now.”
As the weight that was weighing her down disappears, she feels extremely at ease.
Of course, to solve this, I piled up another debt…
“You just have to pay it back from now on.”
Okay.
Since it is a clear proposal of what the other person wants, it is enough to just follow it.
Ah.
“… “Isn’t that clear?”
They used me as their escort by putting it in quite plausible terms, but honestly, there are a lot of things that are puzzling.
As soon as we met, he offered me a cup of tea and then looked at me intently.
After that, he continued to say incomprehensible words one after another.
I have more than one question about this or that.
“What… “It’ll be okay.”
I decided to turn off my mind.
There’s no way a saint-like person would suddenly point a sword at me.
You’ve already done her a favor, and now it’s your turn to repay her.
No matter what happens, wouldn’t it be okay to just escort her for three days and then turn around?
After putting her mind in order, she leaves the hospital room.
The saintess who had given me some time and space was sipping milk coffee from a vending machine with her personal maid.
“This is really delicious.”
“… “The saintess, the sweetness is perfect for her taste.”
“Hehe… , Yes?”
It seems that our saint liked the 500 won milk coffee.
“Hmm.”
He makes his presence known with a small cough and approaches her side, bowing his head.
“Thank you, saint.”
Then she shook her head.
“It was nothing. “Now you have to do your best to protect me for three days?”
She nods her head vigorously and answers the following questions.
“I’ll give you exactly what I received, so don’t worry.”
“Ho Ho… “Those are very reassuring words.”
Well.
Even if we said that to each other, I wonder if I would step forward even if something dangerous were to happen.
That’s because she already has countless guards by her side.
In the hospital, in the form of nurses, doctors, and patients.
Outside, they look like citizens walking down the street.
Also, in the hotel, they take on the appearance of guests and employees.
“Now then, shall we go back?”
He turns around and looks at her as she walks away, and then he recites in a quiet voice.
“… “What kind of saint is so good at lying?”
I quietly shake my head and follow after her.
