Pay With Your Heart

Chapter 338: Kim’s Hospital

Song-Hee felt a lot of emotions surge through her as she watched him leave. She couldn’t believe that was the sole reason why he had come to see her after so many years. She had thought he had come for her. An indescribable amount of happiness had flooded her heart, but what did he say?

Still standing transfixed, Song-Hee couldn’t discern the appropriate feeling for the moment, but she felt somewhat enraged, not just at him but also at Eun-sun. iｎ????????????α????. ????????????

Give Eun-sun the family she needs? What about her? What about the family she needed. He was her family but yet he was more concerned about some stranger? Some child who should be grateful that she had taken her when it seems her family didn’t want her?!

Eun-sun should be eternally grateful to her. Grateful that she took her when that man who seemed like her father gave her away without batting an eye. Although Eun-sun had saved her and helped her marriage at the time because she didn’t know to explain to her ecstatic husband and mother in-law that she had lost the child they’ve all been eagerly waiting for, but she was the one who did Eun-sun a great deed. Provide her with a family for fifteen years, but what did she get in return?

Eun-sun was there for the taking, handed to her in a platter, and she couldn’t refuse it, so why did they make it seem like she had stolen her?!

Blame it on mother instincts, or hormones, or the overwhelming feeling of losing a child that had prompted her to accept her. She couldn’t look away from the crying baby and she also wanted her own. The pain of losing a child was too much and she wanted to hold hers in her arms, but how unfortunate hers was delivered as a still child!

She had done enough for Eun-sun and she had even paid a big price for taking her in, but there would be no more. There would be no act of kindness from her to that girl.

.....

She was miserable, so everyone should also have their fair share of it!.

Song-Hee was still fuming in her thoughts when a knock came from the door making her frown.

Was he back? Why else did he have to say?!

Ready to yell and cuss at him, she stormed towards the door with heavy feets but her voice suddenly got caught in her throat, and chilled air swept through her skin when she saw the person standing at the door.

“You...” She muttered in horror and her legs staggered back.

“Ms Park.” Dan-Han muttered as he looked at her petrified face. His dead-pan eyes directly fixed on the woman.

Tae-Ho held the door for him and he slowly stepped into the house while she kept retreating with each step he took. Dan-Han moved his gaze around the house and his brows twitched when he remembered the horrible incident that occured here the last time he was there. He settled his eyes on her and his gaze suddenly darkened releasing a scary and chilly vibe which made Song-Hee shudder.

“W...hat do you..want?” She stuttered with fear, unable to behold his gaze. The piercing and menacing look coming from him as well as his demeanor were all too familiar to her. One look at him and one could tell how dangerous he was, and she had first hand experienced his cruelty.

W..why was here?

Dan-Han slightly looked at Tae-Ho who quickly nodded and closed the door, granting the boss the privacy he required.

Song-Hee’s heart skipped when she heard the closing sound of the door. She anxiously looked at the man who was staring at her in a chilly manner and the memories of their last encounter ran through her head.

She hasn’t done anything this time, so why was he here? He had asked her to stay away from that girl and she has, so why was he in her house again?!

Dan-Han gazed at the woman and sighed inwardly. She was trembling like he was there to murder her, but he didn’t soften his gaze at her, neither did he show any sign of being nice towards her. He narrowed his eyes at her and went straight to the issue that had brought him.

“I’m here to ask something about Eun-sun, so kindly give me the answer I need.” He said in a cold tone. He didn’t sound disrespectful neither was he polite. Honestly, he wasn’t bothered about being polite to her because she had shown him she wasn’t deserving human respect. He had witnessed what she did to Eun-sun and he could never get it out of his mind. And even though Eun-sun had never shared with him her experience with her, he already knew she didn’t treat her well.

So why should he be polite to people who had touched his woman?!

Song-Hee slowly raised her gaze to him but she quickly darting her eyes away when she met his gaze.

What answers could she possibly provide him? But she already felt she had an idea of what this question would be.

As if to confirm her thoughts, Dan-Han asked, “Who are Eun-sun’s parents?”

Eun-sun’s parents? Why was everyone asking her this? Why were they still bothering her with that girl?!

Her mood suddenly shifted and she felt angry, but the moment she met his eyes again, she sweltered with fear. The aura coming from him made her freeze.

“I... don’t know.” She stuttered.

A frown narrowed Dan-Han’s brows as he glared at her.

Seeing his face, Song-Hee felt she was going to hell soon, and she quickly replied. “I..I really don’t know. I swear.”

“Then how did you get here?”

“Someone gave her to me.”

“Who?” He impatiently asked.

“I don’t know!” She cried. Why was he torturing her so? Seeing his face, Song-Hee knew he wasn’t buying her words, so she quickly explained.

“Twenty-five years ago at the hospital, my child had dead. Still born. My husband and mother in-law had been waiting and I didn’t know how to tell them that our child had died, but suddenly a man came to me in the delivery room with a child in hand, his wife or mistress must have delivered same time too, because the child was still newly born. He seems to have some influence because the delivery room was empty before he came, and he gave me the child like he knew mine had died. He gave me the child and walked away, no words said. I wanted to stop him, but he left without looking back. I was desperate so I took the child. What wrong did I do?!” She snapped out her last words, but Dan-Han’s gaze on her didn’t falter. He just kept looking at her as if he was trying to ascertain the truth in her words.

“Can you describe the man?” Dan-Han asked but she shook her head.

“It’s been twenty-five years.” She said. Even if she could, the man must have changed by now and her description would be of no effect.

“Where’s her birth certificate?” Dan-Han asked after a few moments of silence had passed.

“Birth certificate?” Song-Hee asked, but she immediately rushed into the bedroom without waiting for his answer.

Song-Hee was grateful she hadn’t burnt it as she had desired to do weeks ago. She returned with it and quickly passed it to him.

Dan-Han knew he should have investigated this (her birth certificate) before coming here, but he hadn’t wanted to be hasty by looking into her birth before she asked him to. They had only talked about it twice and today was her time showing interest in looking for her biological parents.

Dan-Han frowned when he saw the name of the hospital on the birth certificate. He gazed at Song-Hee, “Is this real?” He asked while she nodded.

Dan-Han looked at the birth certificate again. Why was it the Kim’s hospital again?!
