Chapter 394 – #58. Miracle (9)
Yeon Joo had no intention of having a deep conversation over the phone.
Called me right away
After changing only my face to my real face, I moved right away.
Should I have apologized the moment I saw my sister?
“…”
“…”
A deep silence fell between us.
The silence felt like my sister’s reprimand, so even though I didn’t listen to anything and just sat still, it made me reflect.
After a while, my sister broke the silence by opening her mouth first.
“Why are you acting like a guilty person?”
“Because I was wrong. You broke your promise with your sister.”
I said I would never go to the scene, but I caught the culprit, so even if my sister gets angry, she has nothing to say.
But my sister showed an unexpected reaction.
“I know that my mother and I were able to stay safe thanks to your help. Rather, I want to apologize to you.”
“An apology?! Weren’t you mad?”
What do I have to apologize for from my sister?
“Thanks to you, everyone was able to escape. It’s true that he brought the knife and was thinking of hurting us.”
It was really creepy.
A person with a knife piled up in newspapers in his arms…
Those eyes were brutal enough to honestly make my hamstrings go numb.
“So I wanted to say thank you for stopping the danger. Thanks to that, my mother and I were able to be safe. And I wanted to apologize for making you have a bad experience. I didn’t want to dip my toe in that deep.”
The situation turned out to be like this, so I saw my face often unintentionally. Originally, Yeonjoo’s sister was the one who put a lot of effort into not meeting me and my mother-in-law.
However, now that I had to immerse my feet in this work, I had no choice but to feel bad.
“I thought he would be angry, so I prepared for a scolding, but I want something like this. I think I would have been more comfortable if I had heard that I was angry.”
“This place is like a swamp. If you bury it, it’s soggy, and it smells nasty. It’s not a place for a clean you.”
Now that I see it, it seems that Yeonjoo’s sister’s expression was hardened not because she was angry with me, but because she hated having me deeply involved in her housework.
But I couldn’t agree with my sister’s opinion.
I don’t know if my sister hadn’t dipped her feet in a foul-smelling, muddy swamp.
“Did you hate me interrupting?”
“Okay. I didn’t want to drag you in even if I died. But in the end, I broke that promise myself. I think the only thing that crossed the line was when she asked you for her mother’s recovery. I should have stopped then, but the reassurance you made me feel weakened my heart.”
In fact, I was proud of myself for catching the culprit, but hearing this from my sister made me lose my strength.
What would have happened if I hadn’t intervened?
My mother-in-law will still be in the intensive care unit, and Mr. Choi may have been seriously injured while working too hard.
“Well, my mother-in-law didn’t tell me about the operation.”
Even though the surgery was successfully completed, he called me after hearing that he was in critical condition and that there could be serious aftereffects.
Also in the morning.
She couldn’t just listen to her words because she didn’t know Yeon Joo’s anguish, who must have been unable to sleep for that time.
“Honestly, I am a bit sad. Can’t your family help you like this? And why is the place where your sister is putting her feet in a swamp? No, it doesn’t matter if it’s a bad place like my sister said. No matter where you are, you are family, so you have to follow them. If something bad happens to me, will you stop helping me and draw a line? Like now?”
“This case is unusual. If it were something else, I wouldn’t have hated your intervention this much.”
When Yeon-ju said that I was feeling sad, she looked very embarrassed.
“I said it before, but I think it was wrong to get involved in something dangerous. If you are angry, I will humbly accept it. I also apologize. But please don’t say that I interfered. I am qualified to help. Hyun-oh is your father.”
He deliberately said that he was Hyun-oh’s father.
Unsurprisingly, Yeon Joo’s older sister is greatly agitated.
“… You keep putting me in trouble What if something like this happens again?”
“I will help even then. My mother-in-law is in big trouble, but as a son-in-law, I can’t stay still.”
“You say something your mother would like.”
At my determined attitude, Yeon Joo sister sighed.
“Since my sister seems to hate it, wouldn’t it be fine if only we knew about this?”
It is the same for me that I have been studying in this world because of this incident.
A world where ordinary people do things unimaginable without hesitation.
I didn’t want to entangle this place with Hyeon-oh.
The heart for mother-in-law and the work with Hyeon-oh were completely different fields.
“When I ran away from home, I thought bloodlines would no longer affect my life. But after hearing the news that my mother was wrong, I couldn’t stay still. All this time, I acted proudly by myself, but I was so embarrassed that I couldn’t lift my face.”
“My mother-in-law had a big problem, but how many children can be fine? I would have been too, so don’t worry too much about it.”
“… Thank you for comforting me.”
Yeon Joo sister learned something from this incident.
Although she hated her mother-in-law, she never wished she was dead.
Yeon Joo said she couldn’t understand how her mother-in-law left her Choi Gwan and obsessed over her bloodline, but in the end, she, too, was trampled on by her mother-in-law in her heart.
‘Is this going to make our relationship a little better?’
I’ve been through a lot of bad things this time, so now good things are bound to come.
I hope that this will improve the relationship that can not be entangled forever.
I worked hard to appease Yeon Joo-nim, who had no face.
Yeon-ju sister belatedly asked me about the culprit, as if she gained some strength from my consolation.
“But how did you end up catching the culprit? You don’t know how surprised I was when I heard about it from Guanyi.”
“Uh… That sounds like an excuse, but it wasn’t what I meant. It just happened by accident.”
I explained to Yeon Joo what I hadn’t told anyone.
“Choi Gwan promised to locate the culprit again after missing him once. I also wanted this to be over soon. So, after a reasonable amount of time, I found out where he was. But the culprit is in this hospital.”
You don’t know how frightened I was.
“There is a sister and mother-in-law in the hospital, but there is even a culprit? Wow~ It was dizzying.”
“If you hadn’t told me in advance, there’s a high chance it would have been a big deal.”
“I was so scared. I think something big has already happened to my sister and mother-in-law. She frantically went to the hospital. In the meantime, I don’t know what spirit changed her face. But when I move, there is a criminal right in front of my eyes. What is it?”
“I’m crazy. What if?”
“He also found a place where there were few people, and I also had to move while avoiding the eyes of others, so I think it was a good fit.”
“Even if we met, it would have been better if we pretended not to know and ran away. It was dangerous.”
“I would have done the same if he pretended not to know me. But they talked to me first. He suddenly asked for it. I want you to go to the hospital with me. I think he was trying to use me to avoid the eyes of the gang members.”
I said this to my sister, but I wouldn’t have done it if the culprit had passed me by.
There is a corner to believe, but why should I let the culprit go?
‘If I say this, I’m sure I’ll get scolded right away…’ .’
After listening to my explanation with a subtle mixture of truth and lies, Yeon Joo started to get angry at other parts, as if she knew that she couldn’t help it if she was in such a situation.
“I heard that you subdued it yourself, but are there any injuries?”
“Ah~ How did I get hurt by that person? Not hurt at all. Ordinary people can never be beaten by me?”
The original game is also a tempo.
I also have a very strong tempo, so I will never get hurt by such a person.
If you get hurt, don’t stores overflow with ways to get better in an instant?
“I sprayed this one shot and it was over right away.”
I showed my sister the suppression spray.
My sister was handed the spray with suspicious eyes.
“You suppressed the new wish with just this?”
“Chick! And sprinkled on the face.”
“What are the specific effects?”
“The mind is clear, but the body is paralyzed. The duration of the effect is 30 minutes if you spray it once, and it overlaps if you spray it multiple times, and the effect is doubled.”
30 minutes after spraying once.
Spray 2 times for 1 hour.
2 hours if sprayed 3 times.
4 hours if sprayed 4 times.
In this way, it increases by twice the remaining time.
“Oh, and just because your body is paralyzed doesn’t mean your senses are dulled. I can feel all the senses. So, those who suffer directly will be very embarrassed. Because all of a sudden I can’t move.”
Doesn’t it sound pretty scary just imagining it?
Suddenly, the body is paralyzed, but the mind is clear.
“But the effect must have worn off now. It’s only applied once, so the effect won’t last long. I’ll give you this spray.”
“This me?”
“How do we know the future of people? Unexpected situations like now can happen. Then you will be safe with this spray. Maybe it’s because of today’s work, but I’m not at ease.”
“… Okay. I can’t help it because you’re not stable.”
Fortunately, Yeon Joo accepted the spray obediently.
It’s a convenient size to fit in your pocket, so you won’t have any problems taking it with you wherever you go.
“It must be over now, right?”
My mother-in-law will recover as it is now, and Mr. Choi will return to his original position.
Yeon Joo-nim will be able to focus on her work without suffering as much as she does now.
“It has to be over. Because I can’t be in danger like this forever.”
Just because my mother-in-law was hospitalized didn’t mean my sister was taking a break from work.
I show my face at work, even for a short time, then after work, I show my face to my hometown, and then I go to the hospital to stay by my mother-in-law’s side.
It is said that he has been doing it repeatedly for several days, but no matter how much he took the health supplements I gave him, it was not something a human would do.
“By the way, how is your mother-in-law? You seemed to have recovered a lot from the last time I met you.”
“You are much better than then. Now he does light exercise.”
“Are you exercising already? Wasn’t it just yesterday that she started walking slowly?”
“Every day is different.”
My mother-in-law, who came out of the intensive care unit, was recovering so quickly that she couldn’t hide her surprise at the hospital.
“Already?”
“Even the doctors are shocked. They said that there would be no aftereffects. You have no idea how grateful I am to you. The doctor said what happened to her mother was a miracle.”
The sight I saw at that time had an impact enough to be considered a miracle or a miracle.
Who would have known that a real angel would appear?
It was to the point of being fortunate that my non-religious sister suddenly stopped having a religion.
Anyway, the only thing that improved after this incident was the relationship between my mother-in-law and Yeon-joo’s sister.
I happily said to Yeon Joo-nim.
“You seem happy.”
“Seeing you lying there looking so lousy made me realize that it’s better to just stare at you and talk nonsense with your eyes wide open.”
“…”
You got along better right?
Still, the second daughter of the mother-in-law I saw then, so I think it’s more fitting for me to have a good relationship with my mother-in-law than with Jo Hye-yeon, her sister-in-law.
The sister-in-law came to the hospital once, and after hearing the doctor’s words that her mother-in-law seemed to be able to recover without sequelae, she stopped going to the hospital.
